I do like the anology 😀
—————————————–
Try This!!
This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And, you will keep trying it to see if you can outsmart your foot. But you can’t!!!
1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.2. Now, while doing this, draw the number “6” in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction!!!

shovel
by gsg · about 16 years, 11 months ago
In reply to Damn :(
Here’s how you do it
1) Select shovel (one with a wide base is best)
2) Find drunk friend
3) Give friend shovel
4) Ask friend to repeatedly and forcefully apply shovel until your eyes cross.
5) Go to hospital and heal
6) Repeat as necessary until the proper level of brain damage has been reached -

You already told us you were a 61 yr. old pervert impersonating a 12 yr. old girl. So get over it now! We know the truth, so leave it at that.Whether or not you are a true blonde, or bleach blonde from this point does not matter as well. We are not interested in a blonde 61 yr. old male.

We have the technology to make you whatever you want to be. 😀
So what would you like to be and I’ll organise the operation to start shortly. :p
But as you claim that you where blond till you where 12 and Shelly continues to insist that you are 12 what’s the problem?. You know what they say about blond females the hair colour cause their brain to shrink and the lost mass moves to the chest to give them all bigger Breasts! :0
And back in the Old Roman Days women would do almost anything to have blond hair as it singled them out as being professionals and highly sought after. :^0

Tend to get accepted as Blonds for some strange reason. :p
As for Breast Size Changing no you can not chose where the stuff comes from God Made thing work that way Blonds have smaller brains and bigger breasts to make up for their diminished mental functions. But if you are really nice to me I know a surgeon who can perform work like that. He’ll suck all the fat out of where ever you like and inject it back in where you want it. The only down side is that he’s a [b]Dirty Old Man[/b] and demands pictures of before and after and then 6 months after the successful operation has been completed and everything looks normal again. He once did a job on one woman who could no longer stand up without support but when she fell forward she couldn’t touch the floor with her face. :0
Oh BTW he doesn’t settle for still pictures he wants movies. 😀

He’s retiring in a few months maybe.
Depends on if he can sell his practise before he reaches 65 but if he can’t then there will be no big deal he’ll work in the Public Hospital System and I can arrange the Hospital for you but you’ll have to pay the airfare here.
As he’ll be asleep now and up in about 6 hours I’ll send a message to his pager and organise a Hospital Time for you.
I just need to know do you have any medical conditions other than being blond? As this may affect the time that you are on the table but a few tight wrappings will keep things where they should be and you’ll look great after he finished though you may be unable to stand without support. 😀
Knowing this guy you may need a trolley just to support all that extra weight on the front of you till you can undergo enough phyiso so you can actually stand up without leaning back at a 60 degree angle. :p

I’ll organise everything tomorrow or latter today as it’s now about 1.30 am. 🙁
I’ll send you a E-Mail with the Hospital Date and what time you have to turn up there to be admitted. I’ll also throw in a copy of a enlargement that he has done but only if you promise not to look while at work. Actually it will not matter look anytime that you please as if you are caught at work it will mean immediate dismissal and that’s probably what you’ll need to get here in time for the Hospital. So they can escort you out the door to the airport and you can hop on a plane to AU straight away. :0
I’m going to get some shut eye now and I’ll send the admitting times and any special stuff that you need to bring along after I’ve spoken to him. BTW as he keeps all this on his NB he’ll be bringing it to me to clean up and he insists on showing me the pictures. It’s a terrible job but someone has to do it. :^0

And they are not [b]Porn Photos[/b] they are Instructional Medical Photos so they are not looked at by the Censor under any circumstances. 😀
Though some non-medical people may see them as Porn they really are not.
I’ll let the person claiming to be Steffi tell you just how big she is going to end up after some therapeutic Cloning of Fat Cells removed from the But, Abs and Upper Thighs. It has the added advantage of this person never being able to put on any more weight in those areas as well because Fat Cells [b]Can Not[/b] be grown in an Adult Body so once they are injected into the Bust they will only make that area of the body bigger. :0
Mind you on the down side this one will have to continually exercise to make sure that their Pelvis has enough muscle over it so that it doesn’t cut anything that it is up against to bits. :^0
When the extended Operation is finished this one should look great but may have a slight problem in gaining access to aircraft because of the size that she will be in certain parts of the body if it is actually a female. :p

by hal 9000 · about 16 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Shelly Steffi is going in for breast augmentation surgery
The [b]Dumb Blond[/b] has got it all wrong again. What I have arranged it to add 150 Kilos per breast she’s forgotten to take into account the existing Breast Tissue that is already there. 😀
What the Surgeon is prepared to do is use Liposuction to remove all the fat from the But, Upper Thighs and Abs then use Therapeutic Cloning to increase the mass to the desired amount/weight and then proceed to inject this in till all is used so that will add approx 150 Kilos to each breast and not have any possible rejection problems or allow Steffi’s breasts to look like water wings which is common with conventional Breast Augmentation Surgery. :p
I have warned her about the required exercises and the need to keep a lot of muscle around her pelvis to prevent the bone cutting things to shreds when she pushes against them with her pelvis.
But the end result should look good a large Bust thin waist no fat on the hips Bum or upper thigh and no developing stomach to deal with. :0
But at that size some Countries Governments may class them as [b]Lethal Weapons.[/b] :^0

I have another impure one to sell into slavery? :^0
My Bank Balance hasn’t moved for a few days so another large deposit wouldn’t go astray and I plan to clean up the impure ones on TR even if I die trying but I’ll get rid off all the impurity first and them die knowing what a great service I’ve managed to achieve. :0

Hi there Dawg

In reply to So Stefan what are you trying to tell me
In an effort to clean up TR I’m selling all the impure ones into slavery and so far those have all been female with just JD as the current single exception but once he recovers from the operation to turn him into a Unix he can carry his deleted [b]Family Jewels[/b] around in a jar just as a reminder to behave. :p
Currently I’ve got the good makings of a Harem in the middle of nowhere and I’ve got GG running the show as she’s gone completely mad with her authority and is continually zapping everyone that she looks at with an electric cattle prod to make them behave. Currently the thing which is supposed to last 3 days on the batteries is lasting 15 minutes so she’s really working hard to control the uncontrollable ones that shes now in charge of. :0
See what I good thing that I’m doing to purify TR? 😀

Col, I just got an update from a spy I sent in there…
by daveo2000 · about 16 years, 11 months ago
In reply to So Stefan what are you trying to tell me
It appears that GG found a box of little high voltage motors with slightly offset cams which cause them to vibrate when run. She attached one to the cattle prod and cranked the voltage down. The result can only be described as “climatic”. This appears to be the reason that she goes through power supplies so quickly.
It also seems that she got the box of motors from some guitar salesman. I talked to the guitar salesman and he said that he had received an order for a guitar to be delivered to Liverpool and a box of motors to be delivered to the tent. He didn’t know who actually ordered them but it sounded like somebody pretending to be blonde.
While he was there, he lost consciousness after falling into a hole. It appears that somebody was digging a tunnel under the back of the tent and there was a soft area. He had gone out back to “relieve himself” but fell through a soft place in the sand. Since certain portions of his anatomy were already exposed it appears that they were made use of until he passed out. He does, however, remember seeing several nuclear powered shovels.
Another lead came from a driver who said he stopped in a parking lot next to a truck from Liverpool unloading boxes of motors into an underground electric train. The location of this train appears to be several miles from the tent but the train tunnel was aimed at the tent.
What do you make of all this? ?:|

Not too much of a problem Dave
by hal 9000 · about 16 years, 11 months ago
In reply to So Stefan what are you trying to tell me
The train is how I get then delivered so if GG has found out about it and is getting stuff delivered with the Sheik paying for it I’m not overly worried as it’s her head on the chopping block literally. 😀
I would however warn that salesperson not to attend that place ever again as that Sultan isn’t at all happy when his mechanise is misused no matter how rabid they are and instant to be serviced, he’s kind of funny that way and as there is no one around any male caught there without reason and that is only the Unix that are there and me to check that the merchandise arrived in good working order they are in for a slight amount of trouble. :^0
Some sales just are not worth the risk in lost limb or appendage so maybe it would be a good idea to warn this poor guy of what could happen to him if he’s caught. :0
If the train wasn’t very big and air conditioned can you please let me know as that could be a problem that my client needs to know about. But keeping them there is his responsibility not mine and I believe that he’s very hard on those who try to escape something about cutting things off so that they will never be attractive to him again and will remain unserviced ever again or something like that I’m not really sure what he was on about and Honestly I don’t really want to know either. :p

Hi. You have reached the virtual eyes of the daveo 2000. Due to circumstances beyond most peoples’ control, the daveo2000 is not available right now. Service is expected to be restored soon so please do not send anyone to find out what the problem is since things will likely be working again by the time you get there. Also, there might be some after effects of whatever it was that went wrong and you just don’t want to risk getting caught up in that, now do you?
Just don’t worry your little head about it and leave your message and, above all, don’t be nosey about the whole thing.

In reply to friday yuk
A cowboy rode into town and stopped at the saloon for a drink.
Unfortunately, the locals always had the habit of picking on strangers,
which he was. When he finished his drink, He found his horse had
been stolen.He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air,
caught it
above his head without even looking and fired a shot into the ceiling.“Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?!?!?!” he yelled with
surprising forcefulness.No one answered.
“Alright, I’m gonna have another beer, and if my horse ain’t back
outside
by the time I finish, I’m gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don’t
like to
have to do what I dun in Texas!”Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The man, true to his word, had
another beer, walked outside, and his horse had been returned to the
post.He saddled up and started to ride out of town. The bartender wandered
out of the bar and asked, “Say pardner, before you go…what happened
in Texas?”The cowboy turned back and said, “I had to walk home.”

Two little kids are in a hospital, lying on stretchers next to each other, outside the operating room.
The first kid leans over and asks, “What are you in here for?”
The second kid says, “I’m in here to get my tonsils out and I’m a little nervous.”
The first kid says, “You’ve got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep, and when you wake up they give you lots of Jell-O and ice cream. It’s a breeze!”
The second kid then asks, “What are you here for?”
The first kid says, “A circumcision.”
And the second kid says, “Whoa! I had that done when I was born. I couldn’t walk for a year!”

Queen Elizabeth II was visiting one of New York’s finest hospitals and during her tour of the wards she passed a room where one of the male patients was masturbating.
“Oh God,” said the Queen, “that’s disgraceful, what is the meaning of this?”
The doctor leading the tour explains, “I am sorry you?re Royal Highness, but this man has a very serious condition where his testicles fill up rapidly with semen. If he doesn’t do what he is doing at least 5 times per day, he could swell up and he might die”
“Oh, I am sorry,” said the Queen, “I was unaware that such a medical condition existed.”
On the same floor they soon passed another room where a young, blonde nurse was performing oral sex on another patient.
“Oh my God,” said the Queen, “What’s happening here?”
The doctor replied, “Same problem, better health plan.”

Two hunters went moose hunting every winter without success.
Finally, they came up with a foolproof plan.
They got a very authentic female moose costume and learned the mating call of a female moose. The plan was to hide in the costume, lure the bull, then come out of the costume and shoot the bull.
They set themselves up on the edge of a clearing, donned their costume and began to give the moose love call.
Before long, their call was answered as a bull came crashing out of the forest and into the clearing. When the bull was close enough, the guy in front said, “Okay, let’s get out and get him.”
After a moment that seemed like an eternity, the guy in the back shouted, “The zipper is stuck! What are we going to do?”
The guy in the front says, “Well, I’m going to start nibbling grass, but you’d better brace yourself.”

thank you thank you
by heml0ck · about 16 years, 11 months ago
In reply to Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!!
I dunno what happened! I just didn’t sound like myself! Speaking of the dark side:
Being an Evil Overlord seems to be a good career choice. It pays well, there are all sorts of perks and you can set your own hours. However every Evil Overlord I’ve read about in books or seen in movies invariably gets overthrown and destroyed in the end. I’ve noticed that no matter whether they are barbarian lords, deranged wizards, mad scientists or alien invaders, they always seem to make the same basic mistakes every single time. With that in mind, allow me to present…
The Top 100 Things I’d Do
If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord1. My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.
2. My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.
3. My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.
4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.
5. The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box. The same applies to the object which is my one weakness.
6. I will not gloat over my enemies’ predicament before killing them.
7. When I’ve captured my adversary and he says, “Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?” I’ll say, “No.” and shoot him. No, on second thought I’ll shoot him then say “No.”
8. After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married immediately in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in three weeks’ time during which the final phase of my plan will be carried out.
9. I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button labelled “Danger: Do Not Push”. The big red button marked “Do Not Push” will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be labelled as such.
10. I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum — a small hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.
11. I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need to prove it by leaving clues in the form of riddles or leaving my weaker enemies alive to show they pose no threat.
12. One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.
13. All slain enemies will be cremated, or at least have several rounds of ammunition emptied into them, not left for dead at the bottom of the cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as any accompanying celebration, will be deferred until after the aforementioned disposal.
14. The hero is not entitled to a last kiss, a last cigarette, or any other form of last request.
15. I will never employ any device with a digital countdown. If I find that such a device is absolutely unavoidable, I will set it to activate when the counter reaches 117 and the hero is just putting his plan into operation.
16. I will never utter the sentence “But before I kill you, there’s just one thing I want to know.”
17. When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to their advice.
18. I will not have a son. Although his laughably under-planned attempt to usurp power would easily fail, it would provide a fatal distraction at a crucial point in time.
19. I will not have a daughter. She would be as beautiful as she was evil, but one look at the hero’s rugged countenance and she’d betray her own father.
20. Despite its proven stress-relieving effect, I will not indulge in maniacal laughter. When so occupied, it’s too easy to miss unexpected developments that a more attentive individual could adjust to accordingly.
21. I will hire a talented fashion designer to create original uniforms for my Legions of Terror, as opposed to some cheap knock-offs that make them look like Nazi stormtroopers, Roman footsoldiers, or savage Mongol hordes. All were eventually defeated and I want my troops to have a more positive mind-set.
22. No matter how tempted I am with the prospect of unlimited power, I will not consume any energy field bigger than my head.
23. I will keep a special cache of low-tech weapons and train my troops in their use. That way — even if the heroes manage to neutralize my power generator and/or render the standard-issue energy weapons useless — my troops will not be overrun by a handful of savages armed with spears and rocks.
24. I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Even though this takes some of the fun out of the job, at least I will never utter the line “No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!” (After that, death is usually instantaneous.)
25. No matter how well it would perform, I will never construct any sort of machinery which is completely indestructible except for one small and virtually inaccessible vulnerable spot.
26. No matter how attractive certain members of the rebellion are, there is probably someone just as attractive who is not desperate to kill me. Therefore, I will think twice before ordering a prisoner sent to my bedchamber.
27. I will never build only one of anything important. All important systems will have redundant control panels and power supplies. For the same reason I will always carry at least two fully loaded weapons at all times.
28. My pet monster will be kept in a secure cage from which it cannot escape and into which I could not accidentally stumble.
29. I will dress in bright and cheery colors, and so throw my enemies into confusion.
30. All bumbling conjurers, clumsy squires, no-talent bards, and cowardly thieves in the land will be preemptively put to death. My foes will surely give up and abandon their quest if they have no source of comic relief.
31. All naive, busty tavern wenches in my realm will be replaced with surly, world-weary waitresses who will provide no unexpected reinforcement and/or romantic subplot for the hero or his sidekick.
32. I will not fly into a rage and kill a messenger who brings me bad news just to illustrate how evil I really am. Good messengers are hard to come by.
33. I won’t require high-ranking female members of my organization to wear a stainless-steel bustier. Morale is better with a more casual dress-code. Similarly, outfits made entirely from black leather will be reserved for formal occasions.
34. I will not turn into a snake. It never helps.
35. I will not grow a goatee. In the old days they made you look diabolic. Now they just make you look like a disaffected member of Generation X.
36. I will not imprison members of the same party in the same cell block, let alone the same cell. If they are important prisoners, I will keep the only key to the cell door on my person instead of handing out copies to every bottom-rung guard in the prison.
37. If my trusted lieutenant tells me my Legions of Terror are losing a battle, I will believe him. After all, he’s my trusted lieutenant.
38. If an enemy I have just killed has a younger sibling or offspring anywhere, I will find them and have them killed immediately, instead of waiting for them to grow up harboring feelings of vengeance towards me in my old age.
39. If I absolutely must ride into battle, I will certainly not ride at the forefront of my Legions of Terror, nor will I seek out my opposite number among his army.
40. I will be neither chivalrous nor sporting. If I have an unstoppable superweapon, I will use it as early and as often as possible instead of keeping it in reserve.
41. Once my power is secure, I will destroy all those pesky time-travel devices.
42. When I capture the hero, I will make sure I also get his dog, monkey, ferret, or whatever sickeningly cute little animal capable of untying ropes and filching keys happens to follow him around.
43. I will maintain a healthy amount of skepticism when I capture the beautiful rebel and she claims she is attracted to my power and good looks and will gladly betray her companions if I just let her in on my plans.
44. I will only employ bounty hunters who work for money. Those who work for the pleasure of the hunt tend to do dumb things like even the odds to give the other guy a sporting chance.
45. I will make sure I have a clear understanding of who is responsible for what in my organization. For example, if my general screws up I will not draw my weapon, point it at him, say “And here is the price for failure,” then suddenly turn and kill some random underling.
46. If an advisor says to me “My liege, he is but one man. What can one man possibly do?”, I will reply “This.” and kill the advisor.
47. If I learn that a callow youth has begun a quest to destroy me, I will slay him while he is still a callow youth instead of waiting for him to mature.
48. I will treat any beast which I control through magic or technology with respect and kindness. Thus if the control is ever broken, it will not immediately come after me for revenge.
49. If I learn the whereabouts of the one artifact which can destroy me, I will not send all my troops out to seize it. Instead I will send them out to seize something else and quietly put a Want-Ad in the local paper.
50. My main computers will have their own special operating system that will be completely incompatible with standard IBM and Macintosh powerbooks.
51. If one of my dungeon guards begins expressing concern over the conditions in the beautiful princess’ cell, I will immediately transfer him to a less people-oriented position.
52. I will hire a team of board-certified architects and surveyors to examine my castle and inform me of any secret passages and abandoned tunnels that I might not know about.
53. If the beautiful princess that I capture says “I’ll never marry you! Never, do you hear me, NEVER!!!”, I will say “Oh well” and kill her.
54. I will not strike a bargain with a demonic being then attempt to double-cross it simply because I feel like being contrary.
55. The deformed mutants and odd-ball psychotics will have their place in my Legions of Terror. However before I send them out on important covert missions that require tact and subtlety, I will first see if there is anyone else equally qualified who would attract less attention.
56. My Legions of Terror will be trained in basic marksmanship. Any who cannot learn to hit a man-sized target at 10 meters will be used for target practice.
57. Before employing any captured artifacts or machinery, I will carefully read the owner’s manual.
58. If it becomes necessary to escape, I will never stop to pose dramatically and toss off a one-liner.
59. I will never build a sentient computer smarter than I am.
60. My five-year-old child advisor will also be asked to decipher any code I am thinking of using. If he breaks the code in under 30 seconds, it will not be used. Note: this also applies to passwords.
61. If my advisors ask “Why are you risking everything on such a mad scheme?”, I will not proceed until I have a response that satisfies them.
62. I will design fortress hallways with no alcoves or protruding structural supports which intruders could use for cover in a firefight.
63. Bulk trash will be disposed of in incinerators, not compactors. And they will be kept hot, with none of that nonsense about flames going through accessible tunnels at predictable intervals.
64. I will see a competent psychiatrist and get cured of all extremely unusual phobias and bizarre compulsive habits which could prove to be a disadvantage.
65. If I must have computer systems with publically available terminals, the maps they display of my complex will have a room clearly marked as the Main Control Room. That room will be the Execution Chamber. The actual main control room will be marked as Sewage Overflow Containment.
66. My security keypad will actually be a fingerprint scanner. Anyone who watches someone press a sequence of buttons or dusts the pad for fingerprints then subsequently tries to enter by repeating that sequence will trigger the alarm system.
67. No matter how many shorts we have in the system, my guards will be instructed to treat every surveillance camera malfunction as a full-scale emergency.
68. I will spare someone who saved my life sometime in the past. This is only reasonable as it encourages others to do so. However, the offer is good one time only. If they want me to spare them again, they’d better save my life again.
69. All midwives will be banned from the realm. All babies will be delivered at state-approved hospitals. Orphans will be placed in foster-homes, not abandoned in the woods to be raised by creatures of the wild.
70. When my guards split up to search for intruders, they will always travel in groups of at least two. They will be trained so that if one of them disappears mysteriously while on patrol, the other will immediately initiate an alert and call for backup, instead of quizzically peering around a corner.
71. If I decide to test a lieutenant’s loyalty and see if he/she should be made a trusted lieutenant, I will have a crack squad of marksmen standing by in case the answer is no.
72. If all the heroes are standing together around a strange device and begin to taunt me, I will pull out a conventional weapon instead of using my unstoppable superweapon on them.
73. I will not agree to let the heroes go free if they win a rigged contest, even though my advisors assure me it is impossible for them to win.
74. When I create a multimedia presentation of my plan designed so that my five-year-old advisor can easily understand the details, I will not label the disk “Project Overlord” and leave it lying on top of my desk.
75. I will instruct my Legions of Terror to attack the hero en masse, instead of standing around waiting while members break off and attack one or two at a time.
76. If the hero runs up to my roof, I will not run up after him and struggle with him in an attempt to push him over the edge. I will also not engage him at the edge of a cliff. (In the middle of a rope-bridge over a river of molten lava is not even worth considering.)
77. If I have a fit of temporary insanity and decide to give the hero the chance to reject a job as my trusted lieutentant, I will retain enough sanity to wait until my current trusted lieutenant is out of earshot before making the offer.
78. I will not tell my Legions of Terror “And he must be taken alive!” The command will be “And try to take him alive if it is reasonably practical.”
79. If my doomsday device happens to come with a reverse switch, as soon as it has been employed it will be melted down and made into limited-edition commemorative coins.
80. If my weakest troops fail to eliminate a hero, I will send out my best troops instead of wasting time with progressively stronger ones as he gets closer and closer to my fortress.
81. If I am fighting with the hero atop a moving platform, have disarmed him, and am about to finish him off and he glances behind me and drops flat, I too will drop flat instead of quizzically turning around to find out what he saw.
82. I will not shoot at any of my enemies if they are standing in front of the crucial support beam to a heavy, dangerous, unbalanced structure.
83. If I’m eating dinner with the hero, put poison in his goblet, then have to leave the table for any reason, I will order new drinks for both of us instead of trying to decide whether or not to switch with him.
84. I will not have captives of one sex guarded by members of the opposite sex.
85. I will not use any plan in which the final step is horribly complicated, e.g. “Align the 12 Stones of Power on the sacred altar then activate the medallion at the moment of total eclipse.” Instead it will be more along the lines of “Push the button.”
86. I will make sure that my doomsday device is up to code and properly grounded.
87. My vats of hazardous chemicals will be covered when not in use. Also, I will not construct walkways above them.
88. If a group of henchmen fail miserably at a task, I will not berate them for incompetence then send the same group out to try the task again.
89. After I captures the hero’s superweapon, I will not immediately disband my legions and relax my guard because I believe whoever holds the weapon is unstoppable. After all, the hero held the weapon and I took it from him.
90. I will not design my Main Control Room so that every workstation is facing away from the door.
91. I will not ignore the messenger that stumbles in exhausted and obviously agitated until my personal grooming or current entertainment is finished. It might actually be important.
92. If I ever talk to the hero on the phone, I will not taunt him. Instead I will say this his dogged perseverance has given me new insight on the futility of my evil ways and that if he leaves me alone for a few months of quiet contemplation I will likely return to the path of righteousness. (Heroes are incredibly gullible in this regard.)
93. If I decide to hold a double execution of the hero and an underling who failed or betrayed me, I will see to it that the hero is scheduled to go first.
94. When arresting prisoners, my guards will not allow them to stop and grab a useless trinket of purely sentimental value.
95. My dungeon will have its own qualified medical staff complete with bodyguards. That way if a prisoner becomes sick and his cellmate tells the guard it’s an emergency, the guard will fetch a trauma team instead of opening up the cell for a look.
96. My door mechanisms will be designed so that blasting the control panel on the outside seals the door and blasting the control panel on the inside opens the door, not vice versa.
97. My dungeon cells will not be furnished with objects that contain reflective surfaces or anything that can be unravelled.
98. If an attractive young couple enters my realm, I will carefully monitor their activities. If I find they are happy and affectionate, I will ignore them. However if circumstance have forced them together against their will and they spend all their time bickering and criticizing each other except during the intermittent occasions when they are saving each others’ lives at which point there are hints of sexual tension, I will immediately order their execution.
99. Any data file of crucial importance will be padded to 1.45Mb in size.
100. Finally, to keep my subjects permanently locked in a mindless trance, I will provide each of them with free unlimited Internet access.
Of course, these are merely the Top 100 Things I’d do. Other suggestions have been sent to me which didn’t quite make the Top 100 List. But they are still so good that I couldn’t bear to throw them out. Therefore, as an expression of gratitude, I have tossed them into…

Woman goes to plastic surgeon to get a face lift.
Op. goes well and she’s really pleased. The surgeon tells her that he has installed the latest innovation to make future lifts much easier, its a screw at the back of the head. He warns her to never play with this screw.A few years later this same woman goes back to the surgeon complaining about bags under the eyes.
He takes one look and says that they’re not bags but her breasts, and if she continues to muck about with that screw she’ll wind up with a goatee.Herb

How’re YOU doin’?
I opened Pandora’s Box, so to speak, when I decided to do some Spring cleaning and make room for my free printer.
Holy crap do I have a bunch of sh… stuff!!! Yesterday I filled 5 large Tupperware tubs with stuff. That’s not counting the 6 tubs of stuff already out in the barn.
Where does all of this stuff come from? I haven’t bought any stuff for awhile. I don’t remember bringing stuff home.
Accumulating all of this stuff is like the opposite of washing socks.
It reminded me of a George Carlin skit where he talked about traveling. When you travel to stay somewhere on a vacation you always take some version of your stuff with you. Then while you’re away you might take a little day-trip and you take along a smaller version of your stuff, etc.
I’m getting down to just the stuff I need but I still have a little way to go.
While doing THIS cleaning I realized how cluttered the barns are looking…
I should be done Spring cleaning sometime this Fall.

Stuff versus Sh*t
by tig2 · about 16 years, 11 months ago

Have you ever noticed that your stuff is STUFF but other people’s stuff is sh*t?
So pack it all up and send it here. I will sell your un-needed stuff and turn it into funds for the 3 Day. Why bother with spring cleaning? load it up, pack it out, the 3 Day makes a profit. Everybody’s HAPPY!
We’re going through the same kind of thing here. He refuses to install the new printer we got him because he still has ink for the old one.
So you can’t even swing a cat in our office because of all the crap he has tucked into corners and all the stuff I have that is trying to get on shelves that only he can reach.
If he doesn’t go back to work pretty soon, I will kill him. And no woman jury would convict me, either.

See Nick’s post below.
If I get rid of any of my stuff I’ll need it so I’m keeping it as protection against that.
I need to take a picture of this space when I’m all done. It’s funny how you can get one set-up and think it’s good for awhile and then you try something else then thinks THAT’s the way it should be.
I think I have reached a new personal best. I have (glancing around) 7 good surge protectors (no UPS 🙁 )connecting all of my stuff.
It’s a good thing my son is an licensed electrician because it would be like Green Acres here if he hadn’t put in new outlets.
I actually have labels on both ends of all of my wired stuff too. Does THAT ever save a lot of time.

the laziness part. That’s why I label ’em right away. It’s that pay me now or pay me later thing. I use those peel off stickers and an ingenious labeling scheme I created.
1,1; 2,2; 3,3; 4,4; etc.
I do label transformers with the device they belong to because some manufacturers STILL don’t put the voltage on their device.
If I didn’t already toss it, I’ve got something around here that doesn’t have the polarity marked either. WTF! I have nothing better to do with my day besides look up the manufacturers spec.’s on some two-bit POS.
Uh… yes I do.
Sometimes I take digital pictures of crap when I take it part for the first time so that I stand a good chance of putting it back together correctly.

you still have time to deal with other things. I didnt think it was possible (until I gotta figure out what in the heck goes to what).
yes, I know better, but I cannot have stuff (like labels, stickers, etc.). Because I used to always buy the stuff, and put what I didnt use away, never to be seen again until after I re-purchased the same stuff.
then I would put it in a different spot so that I would have a 2 out of 60000000000 chance of finding it again.Finally, it will end up getting tossed cause ‘its old’ and ‘there are newer versions that are better’.
So I just stop buying stuff like that mostly. Unless I need it ‘right now’. -

Run, do not walk, and buy yourself a P-Touch and tape. You don’t need anything fancy, basic white will do.
I bought one years ago for labeling servers and workstations and stuff. So far, they haven’t “upgraded” the design yet.
And I can look up, slightly above eye level and see it. And even reach it.
Try it. It will work for you.

Yep. I am, a little bit.

Edit: I forgot W2K misplaces stuff like that.
I don’t do that too much. I try to put things back in the same place every time I get done with it even if it’s someplace weird, like keeping a roll of electrical tape on top of the microwave.

I will happily send you one and some tape. They go to sale price here pretty routinely and I always have cash in points with the local retailer.
The laminated labels are great, especially if you are using a non bar-coded system. When we went to bar-coding, I had to retire the P-Touch to personal use only.
They have one now with multiple fonts for scrapbooking. I keep looking at them and thinking I should get one. They’re PINK!
Edit to add- Don’t do that “organising” thing. It’s bad for you. You won’t find things that you want and you will think you are senile. Just don’t go there.

I never forget where my cigarette lighters are!
I have no problem finding my power tools, they are right under that pile of….
I have only forgotten my badge for work 2x in 5 years.
But when it comes to pens, labels, and organizing crap, I can never find them, even at work. At work I have a drawer with 3 boxes of pens because I lose them around my desk constantly. Heck, yesterday I lost 3, I swear there are pen gnomes living around my desk, but I can never find them……
I am sooo bad with labels, that instead, at work I moved to post-its and have pads everywhere. then I tape them to whatever, it looks ugly though, and they tear easily.At home though, there is no room for stuff. I live in a double-wide mobile (renting) with 2 others. I got a garage size storage unit for us to split, we filled it up, and now it looks the same as when I had to clean last time. Funnt thing, I stopped buying stuff.

Those label-makers are great.
One time I helped to set-up a tool-crib for a new Division, I forget how many Stanley-Vidmar cabinets we bought, 15 or so, from 6 to 12 drawers each.
We had to label every tool storage location and it was Corporate SOP to buy three toolholders for every turret station, even if there were duplicates. :0
That wasn’t MY idea. I don’t know why that company is hurting like they are right now. Hmmm…
Anyway, we had five machine-lines with nothing but CNC equipment front to back so there were a LOT of tool-holders, replacement parts and tools up the wazoo, (not a good place for ’em either).
I used one of those labelers so much I got “Nintendo thumb”. :p
Nice units. And you are very nice for making the offer but I’ll decline. I do thank you though. 😡

Black box voice recorders in autos
by critch · about 16 years, 11 months ago
In reply to friday yuk
The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had
covertly funded a project, with the U.S. auto makers, for the past five
years, whereby the auto makers were installing black box voice recorders,
in four-wheel drive pickup trucks and SUVs, in an effort to determine, in
fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the
crash.They were surprised to find, in 42 of the 50 states, the recorded
last words of drivers, in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes, were: “Oh Sh##!”
Only the states of Tennessee, South Carolina, Arkansas, Alabama,
Georgia, Mississippi, West Virginia and Kentucky were different, where
89.3 percent of the final words were: “Hold my beer. I’m gonna try
somthin’.” -

Tips from the Redneck “Book of Manners”:
1. Never take a beer to a job interview.
2. Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.
3. It’s considered poor taste to take a cooler to church.
4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it is time to change the sheets.
5. Even if you’re certain that you are included in the will, it is still considered tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral home.

In reply to Tips from the Redneck “Book of Manners”
DATING (Outside the Family)
1. Always offer to bait your date’s hook, especially on the first date.
2. Be aggressive. Let her know you’re interested: “I’ve been wantin’ to go out with you ever since I read that stuff on the bathroom wall two years ago.” (always a good opener)
3. Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some will say 10:00 PM; Others might say “Monday.” If the latter is the answer, it is the man’s responsibility to get her to school on time.
4. Always have a positive comment about your date’s appearance, such as, “ya’ll shore don’t sweat much fer a fat broad.”

WEDDINGS
1. Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
2. Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get you shot.
3. Slipping in some tongue in the kiss DEFINITELY will get you shot.
4. For the groom, at least, rent a tux . A leisure suit with a cummerbund and a clean bowling shirt can create too sporty an appearance.
5. Though uncomfortable, say “yes” to socks and shoes for this special occasion.
6. It is not appropriate to tell the groom how good his wife is in the sack.
7. Don’t “dirty dance” during the dollar dance.
8. During the dollar dance, don’t rub against the bride and say “OH YEEAAAAAHHHHH!”

cowboy shirts?
by jdclyde · about 16 years, 11 months ago
In reply to My Cousin’s wedding
you mean a t-shirt? or the crazy flowery button up shirts?
Did they have a mechanical bull there too? 😀
When my bud got married, the groom and his men wore an ear ring. They were magnetic because NONE of them had piercings or tattoos (I was the only one with a pierced ear).
This being a very conservative family, his parents were PISSED to think they all went out the night before and got their ears pierced! It was halfway through the night before they let anyone in on the joke.

a couple of memorable ones
1. got the groom-to-be drunk the night before (nothing new there) shaved the right side of his head and the left side of his beard. Bride freaked out and is still looking for us (30 years later)…btw, they’re still married
2. painted “help me” on the bottom of his shoes before a VERY catholic ceremony. Her parents were not impressed

Military wedding prank

In reply to wedding pranks
I heard about a case when some guys in the same unit as a guy getting married got the groom drunk in a US base (may have been Hawaii), put him on a cargo plane with instructions to the crew and he woke up in Frankfurt.
The bride, also military, found it funny. Good thing, I guess, since I expect she was allowed to carry firearms. :0

Why it’s cool to be a woman..
We can get rid of leg hair without pretending that we do a lot of cycling/swimming or any other sport that would require aerodynamic legs.
We absently hum tunes from musicals without anyone being suspect of our sexuality.
When we buy a vibrator it is glamorous. When men buy a blow up doll it’s pathetic.
Should we wake up looking like something the cat dragged in, we can fix it with cosmetics.
We can have partners that are years younger than us without being called dirty old perverts.
We can scare male bosses with mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.
Systems support men always return our calls, and are nice to us when we blow up our computers.
We know that Tetris is the computer game to end all games.
We got off the Titanic first.
Our boyfriend’s clothes make us look elfin and gorgeous. They look like complete dorks in our clothes.
We have total control over our eyebrows.
We can be groupies. Male groupies are stalkers.
It’s cool to be a daddy’s girl. It’s sad to be a mommy’s boy.
We can cry to get out of speeding fines.
The thrill of surprising people by being good at darts… and pool… and football.
We live longer, so we can be cantankerous old biddies wearing inappropriate clothes and shouting at strangers… men die earlier so we get to cash in on the life insurance.
We know that games are fun, but don’t believe there’s a direct correlation between the size of our scores and the size of our… womanhood.
Taxis stop for us.
We get drunk quicker and cheaper.
We have no desire to arrange our possessions in alphabetical order. Ever.
We’ve never fancied a cartoon character or the central figure in a computer game.
We don’t look like a frog in a blender when dancing.
And for the men..
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.
You can open all your own jars.
Dry cleaners and hair cutters don’t rob you blind.
You can go to the bathroom without a support group.
You don’t have to learn to spell a new last name.
You can leave the motel bed unmade.
You can kill your own food.
You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.
Wedding plans take care of themselves.
If someone forgets to invite you to something, he or she can still be your friend.
Your underwear is $10 for a three-pack.
If you are 34 and single, nobody notices.
Everything on your face stays its original color.
You can quietly enjoy a car ride from the passenger’s seat.
Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.
You don’t have to clean your apartment if the meter reader is coming.
Car mechanics tell you the truth.
You can quietly watch a game with your buddy for hours without ever thinking “He must be mad at me.”
Same work, more pay.
Gray hair and wrinkles only add character.
Wedding dress: $2,000. Tuxedo rental: $75.
You can drop by to see a friend without having to bring a little gift.
If another guy shows up at the party in the same outfit, you just might become lifelong friends.
Your pals can be trusted never to trap you with “So, notice anything different?”
You are not expected to know the names of more than five colors.
You don’t have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.
You almost never have strap problems in public.
You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.
You don’t have to shave below your neck.
At least a few belches are expected and tolerated.
Your belly usually hides your big hips.
One wallet and one pair of shoes, one color, all seasons.
You can “do” your nails with a pocketknife.
You have freedom of choice concerning growing a moustache.
Christmas shopping can be accomplished for 25 relatives, on December 24th, in 45 minutes.

Ask a woman a simple question

How many women with PMS does it take to screw in a light bulb?
One. ONE!! And do you know WHY it only takes ONE? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb. They don?t even know the bulb is BURNED OUT. They would sit in this house in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it OUT. And once they figured it out they wouldn?t be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they?ve been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past SEVENTEEN YEARS.
But if they did, by some miracle, actually find the light bulbs, TWO DAYS LATER the chair that they dragged from two rooms over to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE CRUMPLED WRAPPER THE STUPID @*!#$% LIGHT BULBS CAME IN! WHY?! BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!
IT?S A WONDER WE HAVEN?T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE
THERE ARE 12 FEET DEEP PILES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS… I?m sorry… what did you ask me?

help around the house

I have teen boys, so you can imagine what it takes to get help.
I got home yesterday, they were both on the computers.
We break up my yard into sections because it is two city lots. Front, and back. front takes about 30 minutes, back about hour and a half. I told them someone will be doing the front and dishes, the other will be doing the back. didn’t care who did what, and the first one to get moving got to decide which they would do.
Thing One came FLYING down the stairs. Thing two took a bit longer, but no sympathy. I told him that next time he comes home from school and SEES it needs it, to not wait for me to say something.
While they did that, I fired up the grill. Made whole boneless chicken breasts, and then made them into buffalo breasts. mmmmmmmmmm.

You need plates to carry more than one bit of food from the kitchen to the TV room. Once there, you can eat with your fingers. If you try to wash silverware you end up washing your hands too so why waste the energy? ]:)

Silverware who’s silly enough to actually use that?
by hal 9000 · about 16 years, 11 months ago
In reply to I can relate to that rant
Here all silver is banned and I give it away. 😀
Unfortunately it returns with more friends than it left with. 🙁
Currently all the silver here is hidden so that
[b]1[/b] No One can see how black it’s gotten in the hermetically sealed containers that’s it in.
[b]2[/b] No one needs to clean the rubbish after all cleaning the highly polished Alloy of the Ducati is a big enough job so why encourage [b]SWMBO[/b] to get other stuff cleaned & polished?
[b]3[/b] I can only throw Silver so far and even the rubbish man returns it. 🙁
[b]4[/b] I hate Silverware with a vengeance that is unequalled by anything else hence I keep giving it away to family members. Unfortunately when the die they think that I like the stuff and insist on leaving me the original item/s and much more in their wills. X-(
[b]5[/b] No one will accept it as a donation to a charity as it’s way too expensive and everyone who gets offered this stuff thinks that I must be crazy. :0
[b]6[/b] Stainless Steel doesn’t tarnish is easy to clean and always looks good as well as remaining sharp and the fork tongs don’t bend. It’s also much cheaper to replace when you eventually break it all as well.
[b]7[/b] Owning Silverware is a very strong sign of Insanity. ;\
[b]8[/b] When [b]SWMBO[/b] finally gets sick and tired of looking at the black silver and decides to clean it when I’m no where near home she uses a Toxic Chemical to clean it and leave a coating on it so that it will not need cleaning again for another 10 years.
That about covers everything as I hate the stuff with vengeance.
After all if I have to clean and polish [b]SWMBO[/b] mag wheels on the cars that I give her why should it be expected that I like polishing other things?

Things I do

In reply to 101 ways to annoy your co-workers
I scare people all the time, but not on purpose (no, I do not look THAT bad!). Years of walking through the woods or something, but I don’t make noises when I walk. I have to tap on walls while I walk to keep from startling people…..
friday and the end of the day, an empty tuna can in someones trash can. The cleaning people don’t clean until sunday night….
when you drop a deuce, close the door behind you to save as much for the next person as possible.
Someone put a “decaf” sign on the GREEN Maxwell house can, because it seems BLUE and GREEN is too subtle a hint. I moved the sign to the blue can.
People ask if I had seen or talked to one of the co-workers. I instantly say “yes, but it was about a week ago.”
Yes, as you can tell, it is a real pleasure to have me around all daze long….. 😀

Operation so you can be one of the Unix at the Harem where I’m selling all the impure TR Girls to so you will be her last attack with that dreaded shovel. 😀
I’ve been told that some even survive Mae’s version of that operation and go on to live long empty boring lives watching nearly naked women training to please their owner and as they have had certain parts of their anonymity cut off can no longer enjoy the show. :p
Currently GG is already there getting the place ready and is currently using a cattle prod to make the few arrived females do as they are told though as she exhausts 3 day batteries in 15 minutes I think that she’s enjoying herself way too much. Steffi when the Animal Tranquillisers wear off will be another Victim of GG demonic Rule of the Harem. :^0
I’m going to clean up the impure ones here at TR if it taxes me out of existence. :0
But as all the money coming in is paid directly into a Numbered Swiss Bank Account the AU Tax man will never know what’s happening so I’m just going to be very rich and maybe even retire from working with computers all together. Purifying TR will be my parting present to everyone here. 😡
OH BTW Mae will be joining you shortly when I have no further use for her here at TR between her and GG the pair of them should scare all the women into submission quite easily. 😀

switch everybody’s phone numbers.
plug a cordless keyboard in to their PC and help them type from across the room.
put the BSOD scrrensaver on their system.take a screenshot of their desktop. move all their desktop items into a folder on the desktop, and then set the screenshot as their wallpaper.
install a script that briefly changes their wallpaper to something inapropriate for about 3 seconds and then changes it back. set it to run at random infrequent times. (once every 20 min to an hour at random)
many more where those came from. No Time.

Democrats, Repulicans & Southerners

In reply to friday yuk
This little test will help you decide if you are a Democrat, Republican, or a Southerner. Posing the following question will determine the answer.
You are walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a .40 caliber Glock pistol, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
Democrat’s Answer:
Well, that is not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What do my children think?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible that he would be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day, and make this a happier and healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

Democrats, Republicans and Rednecks
by neilb@uk · about 16 years, 11 months ago
In reply to Democrats, Repulicans & Southerners
There is a Democrat, a Republican and a Redneck all trying out for jobs with the S.W.A.T. team. The person who is testing them says “well done on getting this far. There is just one more task that you have to complete. In that room there is your wife and you have to go and shoot her dead”.
First of all the Democrat tried to go in but got no further than the door before he said “Look I?m sorry I just can?t do it”. So the man in charge says “well in that case you not the type of person we are looking for. I am afraid you haven?t got the job”.
Next the Republican goes in, he stays in there a while and he comes out and confesses that he just can?t kill his wife, so he is sent packing.
Finally the Redneck goes in. The man in charge standing outside of the room hears “BANG BANG”. Then he hears screaming and crashing and banging. After what seems like an eternity the Redneck comes out and says “some idiot put blanks in the gun, so I had to beat here to death with the chair that she was sitting on!”

I was playing dumb just for the hell of it.
Now, I wouldn’t associate Geordies and Rednecks for two reasons:
1) It’s probbaly not appropriate. Geordies are all city dwellers. Because we’re such a small country we don’t have any isolated mountain dwellers or anything like that. Saying that; Norwich has only one road in and out so there’s traditionally a bit of “Gimme six!” about the place.
2) Gadget will extract your spleen without anaesthetic. And sing while she does it…

Our dumb, uneducated simpletons – our peasant underclass – are “Chavs” and they’re mainly from Essex and Kent and are our own unique creation (although I believe you may have some now).

We’ve got Chav’s. We’ve got a little bit of everything. Anyone who doesn’t think so should go to a State or County fair or a Walmart on Saturday. I was just there.
I’m of a generation that calls them punks when they commit crimes.
People are strange.
I can call myself a redneck or dumbass or whatever but I’m like everyone else; it depends on who, what, where, when, why, and how someone else calls me a name that determines if it bothers me or not.
The thing I hate the most? Being called stupid. That’s why I try not to say it to others. I said try not.
My Mother called me an idiot shortly after my Dad died just before she took the money out of the college fund my Dad had started for me.
Those were some fun times, let me tell you.
Today they’d call it child abuse or neglect, I suppose. I don’t call it that.
I look at it as my Mother just trying to do what she thought was right. She had to justify to herself taking the money so we could survive. She didn’t know what her words really did to a 9 year old boy.
Don’t ever find yourself doing it.
The fact of the matter is that I’m not stupid. I don’t feel a need to try and prove it and don’t care if anyone believes it either.
I’ve tested out high enough to get into MENSA several times. I can’t see the point of it though. I like hanging out with 2 percenter types,(high IQ) and 1 percenters, (biker reference) and most everyone in between. I know of a couple of 1 percenters who are 2 percenters.
Confused yet?
Maybe it’s stupid of me to post this here, but there it is, way more than anyone wanted or needed to know.
My opinion of using broad terms for categorizing people? It sucks. We all find ourselves doing it too.
Hell, a joke isn’t “funny” unless somebody gets “hurt”.

Perfectly summed it up, ‘ropes. Someone gets it.
A rather attractive woman goes up to the bar in a quiet rural pub. She gestures alluringly to the barman who comes over immediately. When he arrives, she seductively signals that he should bring his face close to hers. When he does so, she begins to gently caress his beard which is full and bushy.
“Are you the manager?” she asks, softly stroking his face with both hands.
“Actually, no” he replies.
“Can you get him for me? I need to speak to him.” she asks, running her hands up beyond his beard and into his hair.
“I’m afraid I can’t” breathes the barman, clearly aroused. “Is there anything I can do?”
“Yes there is. I need you to give him a message” she continues huskily, popping a couple of fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently. “Tell him,” she says “that there is no toilet paper or hand soap in the ladies room.”

Don’t worry about it, Ropes. It caught me slightly unawares in the middle of a Yuk but it’s no less relevant for that.
England is (still) hugely class-ridden and although it’s not as bad as the Indian caste system in that there is some mobility between classes, there are still definite social boundaries. I was born working class, made it to midle class by virtue of education – the first generation to be able to do that – but could never make upper class in Britain no matter how much money I got together or who I married.

Re: Chavs
by steffi28 · about 16 years, 11 months ago
In reply to I underestand the reference…
I’ve just read a rather interesting story. Someone thinks we should keep chavs as (in England) the are helping distribute the wealth and eliminate the north/south divide by taking money from the south (government) and spending it in the shops (or local drug dealers) up north (obviously except for those essex chavs) anyway I know that that statement is a load of tripe but here was his suggestions for farming chavs, which I found rather funny
How to Farm Chavs :-
I recommend a Tower Block? because it?s a good Chav space and very easy to clean. For bedding, hardwood shavings or CareFresh are preferred. Pine is readily available and usually does not cause problems. A few squares of toilet paper make a soft, warm nest. Besides that, you?ll need a water bottle (filled with 8% ABV Cider, a food dish (donner meat is a staple part of the diet, though for a special treat MaccyD’s) and a 77? exercise wheel (if you want your Chav to be productive it must be able to outrun the natural enemies of the Chav (the police and everyone who isnt a Chav).
If your Chav is male then you need to keep it with other male Chavs, Chavs are sociable animals (to other Chavs) and do not function well on their own.
Be sure to keep male Chavs seperate from Female Chav’s (you can tell the difference becuase the female Chavs have bigger gold earings), if you are going to keep female Chavs together be sure to invest in a good pair of ear protectors, those used by airport ground staff are particulary good.Chav Behaviour
Chavs are inherently sociable animals, they tend to gravitate towards a hierarchical group structure with an alpha male and alpha female. The alpha chav male is selected by a brutal darwininan winnowing of the group, generally the alpha chav male will be the one with all the following characteristics.
Never had a Job
Has more children than he has brain cells (this is generally 3 children)
The inability to form a coherent sentence without at least a dozen swearwords.
The ability to drink enough alcohol to drop a Rhino and still outrun the police.
Enough fake gold jewellery to make Mr T stop in his tracks.
The Alpha Female Chav is selected by the same critera as the Alpha Male Chav except the Alpha Female Chav can take a shortcut to supremacy (by lying down with her legs open).
Keeping your Chav healthy is a hard task, that high fat, low protein, vitamin deficient diet requires that the Chav recieve regular exercise, introducing old ladies into the Chav pack can give them valuable exercise but nothing beats the Police when it comes to Chav Exercise. If you find your Chav pack is growing too large (only yeast can reproduce faster than a Chav pack) you can reduce the population by introducing stealable cars (that would be one with wheels, few cars can withstand a sustained chav attack). Chavs are good at very few things and driving a stolen car isn’t one of them. You could also force your Chavs to get a job..however this might violate the UN Human Rights act (for their co-workers at any rate), few chavs can survive more than a week or two of work without either commiting suicide or morphing into human beings. Finally remember that caring for a Chav is a hard and enduring task but can be very rewarding.

In reply to oh, hockey…..
If any sports person here touched an official they would get a 12 year ban immediately without a second thought for bringing the sport into disrepute. We have big burley footballers who are not in fact midgets built up with padding that would sooner eat a bullet that accidentally touch a Ref under any circumstances even if a coach here verbals a Ref they are looking at least a 25K fine and being banned from the bench for several weeks and this is non negotiable and automatic. This bunch of thugs didn’t give a rats who they hit and where continually attacking and hitting the Umpires/Officials which should earn them a long permanent ban that would effectively prevent them from ever playing again.
Players are easily replaced but Officials are much harder to find so they need to be treated much better than they where in that clip.
Several years ago while running backward to take a mark one of the Aussie Rules players ran into a ref and knocked him out accidentally and didn’t think twice he dropped the ball that he had caught and attended to the ref until medical help arrived and even then he accompanied the Ref to Hospital and stayed with him till he was certain that there was no damage done.
If that had of been a deliberate hit on a ref he never would have played football ever again and quite rightly so. There is no room for attacks on Officials at any sporting events.

Can’t AFFORD one?
Are expendable brutes that you WANT to have their lives changed with a shattering injury?
Kind of like when the difference between professional skateboarders wearing pads and a hat while the dumb kids don’t, and splatter what little brains they have trying to do what the big boys do?
“It ain’t cool to wear pads”
Too bad that is also what your females say when Aunt Flow comes to visit…. :0

by heml0ck · about 16 years, 11 months ago
In reply to official bashing
of the game.
What you aren’t aware of is how the league has evolved over the years, from wide open “anything goes” to this mockery of a great game. Somewhere in the middle is the correct mix.
Since the introduction of the instigator penalty (automatic 5 min penalty for fighting no matter what the provocation)you have “goons” skating around taking cheap shots at other players, feeling invulnerable because “the law” is there to “stop” fighting, and “discourage” players from provoking fights. (Can you hear my sarcasm?)
When I was playing, that was an invitation to lose some teeth! You had the big bruisers, which we called “enforcers,” on the ice to punish players that took cheap shots on others and they were there to protect the scorers!
We had almost NO boarding penalties, and very few brawls like that. Incidents were settled quickly on the ice, the winner usually by cheering. For those of you who don’t know, “boarding” is checking from behind into the boards. This is an incredibly dangerous and potentially lethal action.
A brawl like the one between Ottawa and Philadelphia usually results in cumulative fines in the 250$K mark for both teams.
As a side note, most of the refs that I played with were former hockey players, and excelled at fighting. It is rare in the extreme for a ref or linesman to be targeted. Any player who does so usually got his butt kicked on the ice, and then got his butt kicked off the ice, permanently.
I’d rather watch the players police themselves than resort to rules and fines.
All of that being said, there has been a large move away from the fighting style of play since the ’98 Winter Olympics, where both Canada and the US had their heads handed to them by European teams who outskated, out-passed and out shot them.
The European style of play is the way of the future, and a look to the past for Canada. -

The refs left them fight, some. It is what the crowd wants, so it is what the crowd gets. Throw in a few lions, and lets make this interesting…

JD, I heard a saying once
by w2ktechman · about 16 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Lets just say
that when a male comes out of the womb, he spends the rest of his life trying to get back in.
I think that we are much different, because my way of getting back in and yours, are totally different. I don’t actually try to climb in there completely. Instead, I like to……..
I am too pure to continue.
But I have been swimming recently in the gutter, so after I got out and looked around, I should explain better what I thought we were talking about previously.
Pet Beavers. Yes, I actually thought that we were discussing a womans pet, and they can be tamed, groomed, etc.. So, I thought that you were disgusted with a woman because she had an untamed Beaver (pet of course). If this is the case, if you really liked her, but her pet was too wild for you, I would suggest to send the Beaver to obedience school and have it tamed and then to be groomed. This can make for a much happier relationship with the pet Beaver.
If the beaver is still a problem, then you must find another woman, maybe one with a different pet, like Shelly’s pet kitten that drools and purrs. A drooling, purring Kitten is much more tamed that a wild Beaver, and you may find that you like it better. But, you can predict their behavior after getting to know them.
Although rare, you may find that you prefer women with other pets instead. There are plenty to choose from, like fox or a fawn. Personally, I like playing with all of these pets, that is just the way I am.I think that I am ‘too’ pure on this subject, maybe I have been reading too many of Dave’s posts, I don’t know……
-
May 10, 2007 at 12:46 pm #2522919
Actually, W2K, I think you handled a delicate subject well.
by daveo2000 · about 16 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Lets just say
Women’s pets are to be treated with tender loving care. The way you treat their pets is often the way to their hearts.
Just look at the woman, look at her pet and remember that she has allowed you to get this close. You should feel priveledged that she has allowed you to see it. Even more if she has allowed you to pet it. Remember that petting this furry little animal is the first step towards a deeper relationship.
Now, if it is too wild you will need to take care not to get bitten. Some of these furry things have been known to have little parasites if not kept clean enough. We will assume that you have chosen a wholesome woman that keeps their pet clean. Regular washing and grooming is definitely in order.
You may even offer to help wash and groom this pet, brush the fur and so on. Often this can be accomplished in the shower. One of those handheld shower things is good in this case. You can set it on pulse which can often sooth the pet.
If you show concern and care with the little furry animal, you don’t know how far the relationship can take you.
I hope that this has helped.

Yes, I have met folks like that. I don’t deny they exist. I squirm, hide, wretch, flinch and pale when I see/hear/meet them but they exist. They actually exist in every country on the planet which I also find sad but undeniable.
Fortunately, there are a lot of the others around that can speak intelligently. They just tend to keep their heads down too so we, as a group, don’t get much attention from the news.
With that in mind, I think I will point the finger back at blondes.
Of course my best friend from college, an A+ honor student and drop dead gorgeous Blonde, would probably kick me in the teeth for this… 😀

When you look at a country the size of the U.S. I can understand that there is so much going on within your own borders, that things that happen in the real world just get passed over. there is only so much news that any media can supply, and in the U.S case you have a world of your own, without covering anything but the big breaks from outside

I think the society tends to be inward looking rather than out, so that changes their focus as well.
It isn’t that those people are stoopid, but rather that they have no interest in the answers, and I think too polite to tell the interviewer so! -

Some people here feel marginalized and want to make a contribution. They also don’t realize that there really are more people on the other side of a camera lens than just the camera operator. Add those two disparate elements together and you get some really dumb answers when you ask folks that don’t know.
Then, remember that these are the people that didn’t walk away from the camera knowing full well that there will be many more Borats walking the streets.
I wonder how many correct answers they had to edit out to get those few really ignorant answers.

There is a pundit here in Canada by the name of Rick Mercer, who has done a couple of shows called “Talking to Americans” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhTZ_tgMUdo)
The episode I saw he at least singled out people who should know better (for the most part), and asked questions of them.
I vaguely recall him saying in an interview later that there were a lot more people who got it right, but of course, they don’t make as good theatre.
There was one I remember who got it and played along, finally asking Mercer if he was right in the head! That was in Seattle I think. That was as funny as the dumb answers! -

When we see these shows the interview people on current events, history, etc., of course they pick the most entertaining.
But 2 things:

2. a lot of people will do anything to get on television, even appearing stupid.Dad

Canadian Brains….
by heml0ck · about 16 years, 11 months ago
In reply to Not caring is different than stupid – the same everywhere
THE BRAIN OF A CANADIAN
This is a (supposedly)true incident that happened in Toronto
An Canadian man walked into a bank in Toronto one day and asked for the loan
officer.He told the loan officer that he was going to Spain on business for two
weeks and needed to borrow $5,000. The bank officer told him that the bank
would need some form of security for the loan. The Canadian handed over the
keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produced
the title and everything checked out.The loan officer agreed to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The
bank’s president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Canadian
for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An
employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank’s underground
garage and parked it there.Two weeks later, the Canadian returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest,
which came to $15.41.The loan officer said, “Sir, we are very happy to have had your business,
and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little
puzzled.While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi
millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow “$5,000”The Canadian replied: “Where else in Toronto can I park my car for two weeks
for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?” -

This one is true. Happened in (I think it was) the Dominion Tower (or similar name).
It appears that some of the lawyers liked to show off things to the new hires (as often happens). The wind around the tower is pretty bad some times so the windows are made to withstand a lot of abuse (from the outside).
One of the lawyers liked to show this off by running up and slamming himself into a window and bouncing off of it. He had done this several times before.
One day he demonstrated this and found, to his dismay, that it didn’t always work.

It is a big country. There is a lot of everything, including ignorance. People are not challanged to think in many cases and when they are challanged, they freeze up.
Then, unfortunately, we put into power a group of people that can’t read, can’t remember what they did a couple of months ago or can’t follow the laws and use the correct e-mail accounts. And this was supposed to be the administration that cleaned up the white house after Billy couldn’t keep his Willy in check.
Once, I was working on a report at AT&T. I had a 4 foot map of the US next to a 6 foot map of Texas. A young secretary walked in and started looking at the right edge of the US map, right around New Jersey. Next she walked over to the Texas map and started looking at the right hand edge there.
I asked her what she was looking for and she asked “Where is New Jersey on this map?” My answer was the most difficult straight answer I have ever given.

Dear Tide,
I am writing to say what an excellent product you have! I’ve used it all of my married life, as my Mom always told me it was the best. Now that I am in my fifties I find it even better! In fact, about a month ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse. My inconsiderate and uncaring husband started to belittle me about how clumsy I was, and generally started becoming a pain in the neck. One thing led to another and somehow I ended up with his blood on my new white blouse! I grabbed my bottle of Tide with bleach alternative, to my surprise and satisfaction, all of the stains came out! In fact, the stains came out so well the detectives who came by yesterday told me that the DNA tests on my blouse were negative and then my attorney called and said that I was no longer considered a suspect in the disappearance of my husband. What a relief! Going through menopause is bad enough without being a murder suspect! I thank you, once again, for having a great product. Well, gotta go, have to write to the Hefty bag people.
…without the Tide.

So here’s a couple
The doctor walks into the examination room. There is a very beautiful woman lying on the table. The doctor begins his exam, and lets his hands wander. He strokes her neck, and asks “Do you know what I’m doing?” She replies “Your checking my lymph nodes.”
He moves his arms down, unbuttons her shirt, and fondles her breasts. “Do you know what I’m doing?” he asks. “Your checking for breast cancer” she replies. The doctor figures since the woman is obviously depressed and being very complacent, he’ll try his luck.
So he pulls it out of his pants, takes off the patients skirt, and goes to work. “Do you know what I’m doing?” he asks. “Yes,” she replies. “Your getting Gonorrhoea, thats what I’m here for.”

An Englishman a Scotsman and an Irishman were discussing what the most important invention was. The Englishman said, “I think the heart transplant was the greatest invention ever, because I had a dodgy heart, and it’d be curtains for me if it wasn’t for a heart transplants.” The Scotsman said, “I think liver transplants are the best, as I’m partial to a bit of whiskey, and it’d be curtains for me if I hadn’t replaced my liver.” The Irishman then said, “I think blinds were the greatest invention ever, otherwise it’d be curtains for all of us.”

Blonde In A Casino
by steffi28 · about 16 years, 11 months ago
In reply to friday yuk
Ok, I’ve just recieved this joke in German so I’m going to do my best to translate it cos I thought it was rather good, don’t blame me if I miss out the punchline, as JD & Dawg have informed me I’m blonde :_|
A very beautiful blonde goes to a casino, she changes 10.000.- EUR into chips and decides to try her luck at the roulette table.
There are two employees at the table and they are shocked when the blonde informs them that she wants to bet all her chips on the one number. She then says to them “before I place the bet, I’m very supersticious, and I find that I am luckier when I am naked, is that ok?”
The two men look at each other and both tell her that that is no problem.So, the blonde takes off all her clothes and places all her chips on the table. The two Croupiers are unable to contain their excitement at this beautiful naked woman before them and they smile to each other thinking how lucky they are.
While the roulette wheel spins the blonde shouts to herself “mama needs new clothes, mama needs new clothes”
When the ball stops rolling she jumps up and down screaming “I’ve won! I’ve won!” She then grabs hold of the two men hugs them and kisses them and grabs all her winnings from the table and goes to collect her money.
Once she has gone the first man looks at the other and says “What number did she place the chips on?”
The second man replies “I don’t know I thought you had checked that”The moral of the story? Not all blondes are thick but all men are the same!
I don’t think I done too bad there, it still makes sence right??

You just need to work on the bit at the end about the moral. I understand about not all blondes are thick. I have no doubt that this one was very thin and shapely.
The part about all men are the same, though. I don’t see where this comes into play. Actually, some men are smarter than others and, well, these two seem to have been distracted by this woman’s virtues and, well… could you explain that bit?
Maybe I am just too Pure to understand that last bit. No?

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best…And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…If life seems jolly rotten
There’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you’re feeling in the dumps
Don’t be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle – that’s the thing.And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…For life is quite absurd
And death’s the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin – give the audience a grin
Enjoy it – it’s your last chance anyhow.So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breathLife’s a piece of sh!t
When you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true.
You’ll see it’s all a show
Keep ’em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.And always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the right side of life…
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the bright side of life…
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life…
(I mean – what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing – you’re going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life…-

Look more closely. Consider word choice. “Condition” has more literally correct connotations than “disease” to describe life. Life is a prerequisite of disease, as inanimate objects and corpses are definitely, and in Hal’s world “defiantly”, not diseased! But not all life is diseased, nor is most life diseased through most of its duration. Likewise, instead of “extremely bad prognosis” the words “limited duration” carry connotations that are more [b]logically[/b] consistent with [b]more[/b] of the pertinent facts.
OK, wanna tell me to eat my hat? Go ahead. I know what the pertinent facts are, now here’s an impertinent retort: eat it your ***king self, you’re not paying me enough to tell me what to do, a**hole!

But it is essentially right Life is Sexually Transmitted and as such has to be defined as a Disease and while you may have a short term point about the Duration it still has a Bad Prognosis from a Medical Prospective and unfortunately Medical People only think in Medical Terms so with that single constraint placed on us all Carl Jung has to be treated as correct in all aspects of this particular quote. :0

Then nobody would drive SUVs because they are a waste. I don’t need all that space, But I like em large! The better to apply aftershave. 🙂

I offered a much smaller augmentation to Steffi but she wanted bigger and better. :p
So in this case at least it’s the woman who is demanding something so big that she will be unable to get through doors, onto aircraft and even if squeezed in will be required to buy several seats to keep the weight distribution right on the aircraft. :0
Not to mention what any car that she is in will look like from behind by the Police when they pull her up for having a defective vehicle as it’s much lower on her side to the road than the other side and quite likely to have those wheels off the ground. 😀

I already have more that a handful, unless of course you have HUGE hands! Then if you do maybe you should introduce yourself to me 😉 ooops sorry!
Anyway I already have more than a handful does that mean I’m wasting my time with this op?? My mum always told me bigger was definitely better, so I just assumed this would go for my boobs too.

Bigger isn’t always better that’s why I sent you those Images regarding Sag

But as Lethal Weapons in this case [b]Bigger is Defiantly Better.[/b] :p
You could kill several people by just allowing one to lye across their chest and no one could possibly say that it was intentional. With that much weight resting you someones chest it would cause them to suffocate as they couldn’t breath. With both resting on someones face they would be killed fairly quickly by a total lack of being able to breath. :0
OH look in your In Box as I’ve sent you a PPS which you can open at work. :p

under no circumstances they be allowed to move/bounce while someone has their head between them. It would kill them (although they would be enjoying it right before death).

Good catch. 🙂

I just LOVE youtube

I can now see just about anything, anytime I want, not just the pop culture crap that is wasting time and space.
My boys and I will sit around youtubing at night together instead of watching tv. much more fun, and more interactive. I have a few systems side by side, so we see who can find the funniest or coolest videos.
All you need is the imagination on what to look for!
The Britney Spears Death Metal video still cracks me up. 😀
I saw this a few years ago, and it is cool that it is available here.
This is the ULTIMATE “some people have WAY too much time on their hands” video!

I haven’t seen that one. Do you have the link?
(edited to note that I found it… Hillarious!)
This is a cute one. You have probably seen it too. Darth calls to apologize to Palpatine after the Death Star is blown up.

Hey, I wonder if this will work…
Hmmm.
