Friday Yuk

I am a senior citizen.

During the Clinton Administration I had a good job. Since President Bush took office, I have watched my entire life change for the worse because of his policies.

I lost my job.

I lost my home.

I lost my health insurance.

I lost my two sons in that terrible War in Iraq.

As a matter of fact, I?ve lost virtually everything and become homeless.

Instead of getting some help, I only got hassled.

George W. Bush has to go!

We should do anything that Senators Kennedy, Clinton, and Kerry want to do to insure that a Democrat is back in the White House with the next election.

Sincerely,

Saddam Hussein

Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little 5-year-old girl and some construction workers that makes you believe that we can make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time.

A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant lot. One day a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot. The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing the workers.

Eventually the construction crew, all of them gems-in-the-rough, more or less adopted her as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.

At the end of the first week they even presented her with a pay envelope containing an official payroll check! It was only $2, but the little girl took this home to her mother who said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take the two-dollar "pay" she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account.

When they got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own paycheck at such a young age. The little girl proudly replied, "I worked last week with the crew building the house next door to us.

"My goodness gracious!" said the teller. "And will you be working on the house again this week, too?"

The little girl replied, "I will if those dirtbags at Home Depot ever deliver the damned sheetrock!"

Stories like this just bring a tear to your eye.

A woman was having an affair during the day while her husband was at work. One day she was in bed with her boyfriend when she heard her husband's car pull in the driveway. She yelled at the boyfriend, "Hurry! Grab your clothes and jump out the window, my husband's home early!"

The boyfriend looked out the window and said, "It's raining out there!"

She said, "If my husband catches us in here, he'll kill us both!"

So the boyfriend grabs his clothes and jumps out the window. As he began running down the street, he discovered he had run right in the middle of a town marathon, so he started running along beside the others. Being naked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to "blend in" as best he could.

One of the runners asked him, "Do you always run in the nude?"

He answered, while gasping for air, "Oh yes, it feels so free having the air blow over your skin while you are running."

The next runner then asked the nude man, "Do you always run carrying your clothes on your arm?"

The nude man answered breathlessly, "Oh, yes, that way I can get dressed right at the end of the run and get in my car to go home!"

A third runner asked, "Do you always wear a condom when you run?"

Without missing a beat he replied, "Only when it's raining."

A young man finally got a date with the hot blonde that lived in his apartment complex. To prepare for his big date, the young man went up on to the roof to get a quick tan. Not wanting any tan lines to show, he sunbathed in the nude.

Unfortunately, he fell asleep while on the roof and managed to get an all-over sunburn instead.

Determined not to miss his date, he put some lotion on his manhood to prepare for his hot evening.

But it wasn't enough: the evening's activities were excruciating. During a break he went into the kitchen and poured a tall, cool glass of milk, and then dunked his sunburned member in, which offered immediate relief of his pain.

His date, meanwhile, wondering what he was doing, wandered into the kitchen to see him immersed in a glass of milk. Before the embarrassed chap could say anything, she did: "Huh! That's how you guys load those things!"

figured you were having altogether too much fun over here by yourself, so:

a man walks into a bar in London and orders three pints of the local brew. he takes them to a corner table and is observed to drink them by taking one swig from each in turn until they are empty.

this all recurs two or three times before the bartender gives way to his curiosity and asks what he is doing. "wouldn't the beer taste better if you drank each one through?" he asks.

"oh no," says the man, "it's a family tradition. one of my brothers is in New York and one is in Chicago and each week we go into the nearest bar and have a drink for each of us"

the bartender is suitably impressed and the story soon makes its way around the bar.

then comes the day when the man comes in and orders only two pints, which he takes into the corner and consumes in the usual way. the bartender and some of the customers exchange glances, jump to the obvious conclusion, and are initially too embarrassed to speak, but eventually the bartender says to the man "We're all sorry for your loss".

the man is puzzled and the bartender points to the two glasses, assuming that one of the brothers has passed away.

the man laughs. "Oh, no," he says, "that's just because I've given up drinking"

argh.

A lawyer is standing in a long line at the box office. Suddenly, he feels a pair of hands kneading his shoulders, back, and neck. The lawyer turns around. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "I'm a chiropractor, and I'm just keeping in practice while I'm waiting in line." "Well, I'm a lawyer, but you don't see me screwing the guy in front of me, do you?"

Wee Glesca wumman goes intae a butchershop, where the butcher has just
came oot the freezer, and is standing haunds ahint his back, with his rear end aimed at an electric fire.

The wee wumman checks oot the display case then asks, "Is that yer Ayrshire bacon?"
"Naw," replies the butcher. "It's jist ma haun's Ah'm heatin'."

Surprisingly - the ' **** ' has happened due to a four letter word, beginning with the letter 'f' describing cigarettes [the other 3 letters being 'a', 'g', 's']. You Americans must call cigarettes em, ...oh yeah - cigarettes!

Col's only problem with the UK is some Trophy involving some tea drinking fellas.

Happy to hear that Prim. Brown is willing to let you in.

A farmer is arrested for having sex with a cow and appears before the judge. The judge looks at him and says "Son, What were you thinking?" The farmer replies, "Well, to be honest, I was thinking of a younger and sexier cow."

Gordon Brown is a Politician I would have thought that by now you would be aware of this simple fact. You also should be aware that you can tell when a Politicians telling lies by the simple fact that you can see their lips moving. So the reality of the situation is that you have

[b]A[/b] Been told a bunch of Pork Pies.

[b]B[/b] The person in question has no idea of what's really happening.

After all it was the same guy who was insisting that the floods in the UK where a direct result of rain wasn't it? Actually there was a soil subsidence which caused the flooding and since My Welsh Miners have now placed several kiddies Water Wings under that part of the UK the waters are now in the process of receding. They intend to continue to blow a bit more air every day into these water wings to avoid the possibility of anyone actually noticing the change. :p

I just hope that you do not plan on attempting to return by air to the UK as it just will not be where it was left parked when you last left it. Remember that all Commercial Aircraft rely on a GPS Navigation System and particularly the Airbus will actually land on this system so if you are silly enough to trust a Fly By Wire Aircraft that isn't actually controlled by a human you'll be taking that bath even sooner as the plane will end up landing in the ocean, Just like that Airbus that landed in a Forest in France a few years ago because the Lorain System wasn't calibrated correctly at the point of departure and the aircraft chose where it was supposed to land which had trees and no runway there. :D

Anyway if you insist remember that Salt Water doesn't soap up very well and it's cold there so you will only have a short time to survive in the water before you die of a loss of body temperature. If you get far enough away from the submerging aircraft you will initially sink but after a few days when the gas gets a chance to build up inside your body you will rise to the surface and they just may be able to recover your body. But it depends on how far the countries been moved in the meantime. It will by then be well outside the 5 mile limit and Gordon Brown will have been deposed as he will no longer have the authority to Govern the UK. :^0

Actually it's going to be great able to move my little Private Island to where I want it to be and always in a sunny place. Never any rain or other nasty weather to be bothered with. :p

And adults are SO much better..

They catch the grip(lol) so easily and quick.

Our 6 year old niece, who stayed over for a couple a days, outta the blue said to us, when we walked trough the park on our way to feed the ducks: is that way mum and dad lock their bedroom door, pointing to a kissing young couple sitting on a bench in the park. :0
Or is it because they hide the presents that we get with "Sinterklaas"[b]*[/b] :)

picked on most of us when we were children.

Oh I had a lovely time....

Geeky, hearing impaired, and mildly autistic.

Ah, childhood brings back such warm memories for me....

Last December when my mother was in hospital having her gall bladder removed again. No don't ask about that one as it's still a sore point.

But when my Little Sister was visiting the Horrorsiptal she made mention of one of her friends and my mother said to the youngest of her children did he know who his mother was talking about. Unfortunately for her in front of the person in question. His response was [b]Yes that Old Woman that Mommy Visits.[/b] The funny thing is that the Old Woman in question is 9 years younger than his mother. :D

Talking to children is a lot like being a Solicitor in a Court you should never ask them a single question unless you are 100,000,000,000,000,000% sure of what their answer will be or you'll be in lots of trouble. :^0

Seven minutes worth of videos. Cool music. If you can only watch one video watch the second one, it's shorter and, I think, weirder.

To my knowledge nobody has ever come forward to claim that they've made complex crop circles except for two old lamers with boards and ropes. They were videotaped making a very crude crop circle during the day.

I don't know that we're necessarily disagreeing here - I don't want to sound like a Grumpy Old Man (BBC series full of chat from sarcastic old b**t**ds about How Things Aren't As Good As They Used To Be - never mind) but I have NO idea where any kind of socialising process is supposed to come from.

A child has no moral sense or no inbuilt moral compass until they pick it up from other people, and there is always a tension between adult influence and what the peer group is telling you. Psychology, as I understand it, shows that what comes out of the imagination is uncensored until the people around us teach us otherwise - that there are some words/actions/thoughts which are considered unacceptable in society.

Those who don't pick that up are deemed psychopathic or sociopathic (I'm not clear on the distinction) because the conditioning doesn't take.

Given the way things are around us (which is an appalling generalisation, I know) then it must be hard for any child to come up with a consistent moral compass when, either in the home or outside or on the TV, people seem to be acting out a great many baser impulses and thriving on it. And if the socialisation process breaks down, as it may have done a few years ago, then the parents now are already adrift from the "true" compass hence in no position to make a consistent and valid example for anyone.

Hence I agree with you - who indeed?

The point I was perhaps trying to make originally, and which may spring from my own childhood, I don't know, is that I simply don't remember the same degree of violence, of swearing, of automatic denial, and extreme over-reaction, from when I was a kid. I grew up in East London and I still work here so it's not as if I don't have a context but I am still struck (not literally) by the degree of lawlessness and intimidation with which I am confronted - and much of it by people very little above the age of legal culpability. The damage done to the building where I work has been significant, including opening fire hydrants and flooding the place out - "kids" again, I'm afraid. Somewhere, something has got lost.

At the same time, I've dealt with teenagers on Work Experience placements who are smart, sassy maybe, but learn quickly and have (somehow) harnessed their skills or talents into something they can build on.

When I was younger, 'Lord of the flies' or 'Battle Royale' would have seemed incredible fantasy - but not now. And the biggest problem may yet be that no-one recognises it - that somehow everyone expects their kids are, or will come out 'all right'. Very often, they won't.

And that's a very long justification for a quick throwaway comment.

Interesting, though.

I guess where we differ, is that while you have a problem with children, I'm more disenchanted with adults.

I like kids, I find them witty, honest and truly fun to be around. Not that they can't be maddening at times, but for the most part, I prefer their company.

Grown ups are supposed to know better.

So, no crossed shovels.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it.

I didn't want to be disappointed! You normally choose some good pics.

:D

My parents had a big wooden spoon, and a big wooden stick. The stick replaced the spoon as I broke it with my behind when I was about 8. My mother was really mad because she did not have anything else around to hit me with. Personally, I was really releived.
The stick was marked "BE GOOD STICK". My dad made it to replace the spoon. It was made the day after the great spoon killing, and you guessed it, I was the first to find out about its sting! Yes, it was much worse than the big spoon. It got a lot of mileage from myself and my 3 brothers.

And people think that Texan is hard to understand! ;)

My ancesters left Scotland a few centuries back.

But 14 years ago I moved next door to a formidible grandmother who was born and raised in glasge.

I cannot prove they are not done by aliens from outer space. It's just that I won't believe it until THEY prove it. What have we got here? Aliens that have a thing for wheat? :^0

I wonder if the farmers are charging admission to see them? I would if I were them. :^0

[b][i]"...Layers of "crop" are laid down in a radial pattern, like woven spokes on a wheel..."[/i][/b]

Yeah. Sort of like how it might look of a bunch of guys grabbed rope in a line and marched around in a circle with one end of the rope at the center. This is the replacement for "cow tipping". :^0

[b][i]"...Besides that there have been fields with cameras mounted monitoring for pranksters and complex circles have appeared overnight with no destruction or tampering of the cameras..."[/i][/b]

I've seen those "Mission Impossible" movies, you know. They can fake out video cameras and nobody is the wiser. :0

[b][i]"...I believe they've been around for decades, long before affordable GPS came out too..."[/i][/b]

Yes. But, before GPS there were always simple circles and such. The intricate designs they are doing now are a result of GPS on every tractor and computers that every modern farm has nowadays. You know that they use satellite data to give different sections of the farm differing amounts of water and fertilizers, right? Farms are very high tech these days.

[b][i]"...You still behind me?..."[/i][/b]

Of course I'm still behind you (on MaxAttacks(tm) ). But, you're on your own on crop circles! :^0

[b][i]"...Edited so that it kind of makes sense..."[/i][/b]

Mmmmm. Maybe you should edit some more! :^0

(just kiddin'... You know I love you man).

P.S. I think crop circles are fun. But, I don't believe for a second they are created by anyone but humans.

Nice one!

A: He wears big shoes.

I'd be surprised if half of the people in the United States didn't go, "Scott who?"

There is a whole world out there. Not just the places that are chosen for invation.

Or is it something I missed in class (entirely possible). :^0

Huh? If you're trolling for a "compliment" you're talking to the wrong dood.

Well there you go. Mind you I have had a few beers. No Trolling intended here - sorry if it looked that way. Thought you were trying me :-)

I can't say that I've never posted after having a few brew because I certainly have.

Twenty years ago I used to work in the largest plastic mold making facility in North America. There were a lot of people working there. One guy created a stir on Monday when he said that his son and his sons friend found some big bare footprints/tracks on Sunday.

Everyone pretty much ridiculed him but I went over to talk to him during break and we made plans to go out there right after work and take a look. Several of the other guys made plans to go out there later after going home first.

The area of the "sighting" was about an hours drive away in the "Lost Nations" area of Hillsdale County in Michigan. There is a lot of State property and wooded area around there. It's not all changed over to cropland because of the large hills. There weren't a lot of houses, at that time, there are a lot more now.

Anyway, we pulled into a small area off-road where we parked and walked up to a hill where officers from the Sheriff Department were making a plaster cast of one of the footprints. The Officers and Detectives said they'd backtracked about a mile and a half to a cave where there were no footprints going in, just footprints coming out. They said that there was a pine bough bed/nest inside the cave.

We went and followed the tracks (forward) up the hill and you could see where the toes of the footprint had grabbed into the dirt and slid down what must have been a muddy hillside as it had been the first Spring thaw the previous day.

The quantity of dirt that had been pushed down on the hill was impressive. I dug my heel in as hard as I could and could only manage a fraction of the dirt displacement and even then I was 210-220 pounds.

We were a little spooked as we followed the tracks on the small game trail through the overhanging trees. We both stopped on either side of the path when we heard a creaking sound. It turned out just to be a tree rubbing against another and when we looked down the tracks had stopped side by side in just about the same place. It was as if whatever made the tracks heard the same noise and stopped just like we did.

We continued to follow the tracks to where they stopped at the edge of a gravel pit overlooking the road about a half-mile along the path.

It was like whatever had made the tracks was on the road, heard something coming, ran up the hill and followed the path to a point where it could watch.

We followed the tracks a little bit further but they disappeared into dense brush and we didn't feel like going in after them.

The news made the local paper.

The Sheriff's Department said that whatever made the tracks was somewhere over 700 pounds. I don't know how they came up with that figure and not a range of weight but I'm not too surprised. (Maybe they had a 700 pound Deputy for comparison purposes.) The tracks were easily an inch and a half deep up to three inches at spots and my boot-heel barely left an indentation. The ground was probably not as soft as it was the day before but the cops had followed the tracks a lot further than we did too. From what I saw I'd say that 700 pounds might be alright. The amount of dirt that was shoved down on the hill with one foot was impressive.

Without digging the pictures out of the closet I recall the tracks as being half again as long as my size 12 foot. The stride was all of six feet. The whole thing would be hard for someone on stilts to fake.

The clincher for me was the amount of dirt and how the dirt had mounded up when the toes grabbed in while "it" went up hill. It was exactly like a the track a human foot would make only much larger.

The Dippity's followed new tracks again during that week. This second time they followed them through the woods for 5 and 1/2 miles after a homeowner reported them on his property.

I've seen this Bigfoot report in some books on the market, in fact, for some books that's how I judge if they were thorough or not. The "sighting" WAS investigated by the Bigfoot Investigation Center in Michigan. I have a old business card somewhere.

My best friend laughed at me when I told him the story. He said that it was probably someone on stilts but he never saw the pictures and didn't view the scene either.

The guy whose son found the tracks gave me copies of photos taken the day the tracks were found. I have them here, somewhere. Pictures might even be online in the Hillsdale newspaper archives but it's not too likely given how poorly newspapers archive their news for online viewing.

It really doesn't matter to me. I'm convinced from what I saw that "something" heavy with REAL big feet made those tracks. The Deputies and two detectives that I talked to on the scene seemed to think the same thing.

There's my story. You pried it out of me. :)

Directed at me by [b]SWMBO[/b] I now have proof that there are Aliens on earth. :0

Granted it took the first 200 DVD's to realise this fact as [b]SWMBO[/b] got out 5,000 DVD's of the Gilmore Girls and proceeded to watch them all one after the other to the exclusion of all else.

Now all you need do for proof is get 1 DVD from this series and look at the majority of the [b]Lead Actors Eyebrows.[/b] Forget about their ears as these are mostly covered but the eyebrows are the give away as they are all [b]Vulcan![/b] SO instead of having hair across the top of their eyes they have eyebrows that start low and continue upward as they get closer to the outside of the face. Just about every actor in this series looks this way and I'm convinced that those that don't look like a cheap copy of [b]Mr Spock[/b] have had cosmetic Surgery to help them blend in and not be recognised. :D

So now it's official at least one US Shite Com is all played by Vulcan's, they are also probably also responsible for the [b]Crop Circles.[/b] :^0

You said the word impressive twice in the post. A psychologist would have a field day!

EDIT - wow, tough crowd. One would think this was the worst comment ever written on the Internet.

The way a person uses a word is not a definition of either his character or his mental state.

You are a newbie. How would you have defined a positive or negative comprehension of the way this peer uses the English (American) dictionary in order to compile communicative sentences? What would be your basis that an ordinary- for this person- use of language requirement leading him to use the same word TWICE leads to a potential for psychotically imbalanced thinking?

Could you possibly eludicate? I'm certain that we would all like to develop complete comprehension.

Edit- second reading indicated that "nor" was not appropriate. "Or" is appropriate according to American English.

How does that make you feel when you point out what a third party might think.

Guess what I'd be telling your fictional psychologist if he made a big deal of my using the same word twice in a freestyle post of 899 words.

I've probably read everything that you've posted so far. Not too impressive. Maybe that's going to be my new "thing" using the word impressive twice every time I reply to you.

I actually know what my Psychologist and Psychiatrist think of me. They're the only ones I give a rip about.

In case you haven't noticed it, it seems that most Psychologists and Psychiatrists are a little bit out-there themselves.

Choose your shrink wisely.

It's like George Carlin said, "Somewhere out there is the world's worst Doctor. The bad part? Someone has an appointment to see them at 9:00AM Monday morning."

Make sure that's not going to be you. :|

First of all... Thanks.

Apparently the "psychological" cork is out of the so-called bottle. That's fine with me.

There is so much stigma attached to seeing counseling that people have formed entire groups for self-counseling where all of the members remain "anonymous". If everyone who went to some "anonymous" type group would just raise their hands we'd likely see that there is no more reason to be anonymous. I personally do not like or go to anonymous type groups.

Former and current servicemen, police officers, firefighters, health care givers, computer and network guru's, housewives and children; you name it, someone from every walk of life is getting counseling. Even astronauts could benefit from it and I can't think of a larger American icon from when I was growing up,

The old ideas, the stigma associated with counseling are outdated. There's little a person can do that is more positive for themselves than to seek counseling if they feel that they could benefit from it.

There are many reasons people don't go to counseling.
For one thing, professional help is not cheap. It often doesn't cost as much as some health clubs but if a person has a healthy self-image they might not need a health club to feel good about themselves. Because of the stigma they'll climb endless stairs and still yell at their kids for no good reason.

People are a trip.

Where am I going with this? OMG! I've yucked up the yuk. Again.

I hate myself. I'm going off now to do bad things to flies and ants. :0 :^0

What I continue to find impressive about careful studies of crop circles is that the stalks are bent, but undamaged. Perhaps there is some enzyme which could accomplish that, but I've never heard of an occasion where any chemical residue is found on the scene which could account for the stalks bending without breaking. Until that aspect of the phenomena is explained, I find the reports [b]impressive[/b] enough to suppose that it could be the work of ETs. Of course, it could be bored, retired Hollywood special effects guys, but that hasn't been proven, either!

Did you know that there are people who call themselves Cereologists? Those are people who seriously study crop circles. The second video I posted showed their drawings of certain crop circles. Apparently and obviously there's some sort of mathematical relationship in many circles, similar to fractals.

I said that the crops are laid down radially like woven bicycle spokes then TE2 countered. The "woven spokes" analogy was a good one as the crops are almost woven, definitely not the same pattern one would get with a person standing in the center of a circle holding a rope. There are videos showing the woven effect but I'm stuck on this unimpressive hughes.net with it's limited daily bandwidth so I didn't look up a better video.

There was a crop circle fairly close to me, within a couple of hundred miles but after I saw it on TV I decided not to go as it looked fake. (Thought I was going to say unimpressive didn't ya'? )

I've seen and experienced too many odd things over the course of MY lifetime that make me suspect that there just might be some things going on that science hasn't been able to thoroughly explain. Whenever scientists have to go WTF I find my interest grows too. Who knows, maybe you or I or somebody at TR might be able to provide solid answers to questions about the unknown.

Didn't Einstein hold a menial position for years? Of course he did. I'm not comparing either of us to Einstein but when he was a clerk nobody compared Einstein to Newton either did they?

Gotta' love Google!

I started thinking. Of all the things that have been pointed out to me over the years that people didn't like about me my using the same word twice has to be the lamest. Wow.

Having worked in the largest plastic mold making facility in North America is impressive.

That was one impressive Big Foot story. Your size 12 is impressive. :^0 If a 700 lb prankster did make those tracks by walking on stilts for 5 and 1/2 miles, that would be really impressive. It's just another good reason to be armed when venturing into the woods: Bears, wildcats, wolves, Big Foot, and 700 lb pranksters can be hazardous.

I think the crop circles are VERY impressive even if I do think they are man-made. Man is impressive (woman too) .

There are all sorts of impressive things all around us that we cannot fully explain (yet). Whenever I open my eyes to look for unusual things, I usually see something impressive that I did not see before. This is the most logical explanation for why you are seeing these things.

Well now... That should be enough "impressives" for NumberOn3 to recommend some impressive psycho help for me!

P.S. See... I'm still behind you, 'Ropes!

Please Explain?
