Hello everyone!

the necessary sophistication and nuances to fully understand and appreciate the experience. It's somewhat along the lines of difference between Champagne and beer and American beer at that. Ask jck since he seems to know just how poorly American beer is considered. Up here in Canada, we have water that is better than your beer and the Canadian beer we export to the US is a very pale imitation of the real stuff we consume here domesticly. Since living in Lansing you are reasonably close to the border so, the next time you visit Canada pick up a six pack of genuine Canadian beer and take it home to compare with the same brand that we export stateside. I would suggest Molson or Labatts as their export versions are the easiest to find in the US. Make sure you pick the same varieties like Labatt Blue or Molson Canadian. You don't want to be comparing apples to oranges. :^O

Hey swgoldwire2546 I'm female. So dude doesn't fit me but babe would.

...it is a good idea to read a lot and lurk before you dive into the deep end of the pool and risk embarassing yourself.

Is your face red? It should be....

James

Have you had a hard time lately? I wonder!!!!

swgoldwire2546 has jumped all over me in this and the yuk yuk discussion I started. :)

Did I do something to touch off a nerve or is swgoldwire2546 just taking things out of context and way too seriously? ;\

The ONLY thing I could see a noob jumping on was the taste of M_A_R_K's cigar! :D And that is the one that they didn't touch/taste! :^O

If you want to get under Dawg's skin, you have to push a little deeper... He has pretty thick skin and you may have to repeat the exercise a number of times to get him to notice. Gee Oz must have replied a dozen times before they got to cursing and threatening.

You are welcome Dawg, just doing my part....

James

last week, the only beer a friend had was "bud light" and I couldn't believe how bad it was.

About the time when King Swill started his beer still there had been a big discussion so I tried that gen*** extra stout. Did not care for it. (they censored gen***? Didn't know that was a swear word? :D )

I have gone from Mic Lite to Killians over the last few years, and now even a blue if I can't get a killians. (still cracks me up that canadians have to name it a colo(u)r so the locals can remember it's name! :^O )

But that is what happens when food comes into the US. It amazes me the people that don't know the difference between Mexican food and Tex/Mex that we get here. (right MARK?) Just like authentic Crorian food, when you change the ingredients it changes the food. But because we only eat ugly animals, there isn't MUCH dog in the food around here.

The Ex had picked the boys up just before 10 this morning, and man was this house quiet. Did some work and then went in and took a nap.

Then I hear a pounding on the door,
"I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash."

They had finished their "dinner" by 2 pm, and then the one Aunt that showed had to leave and the one Uncle that wasn't in Jail had to get going too. With nothing to do, Thing One and Thing Two ASKED if they could come home! SWEEEEEET!

(happy dance, happy dance!)

They have also decided that because I am locally going wild boar hunting instead of up north for the weekend dear hunting, that they WANT to stay home instead of go with the EX for the weekend. I made it clear that they could do what they want, where they want as I would be coming and going for the next few daze. Going to stay with the EX was NOT an option they chose! (sucks to be her!)

Cheers it is my friend! Cheers it is! Life is good.

Point for Jocey!

I've noticed him for a while now and he even made a half assed atempt at teeing off on me but it wasn't serious enough to warrant a response. I don't know why but he reminds me a bit about LOBO.

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

Nice to see that you're loosening up and finally getting into the ol' TR spirit of razzing and getting razzed. I was kind of worried about your emotional state for a while there. I thought you might tuck your tail 'tween your legs and skulk off like a scared kitty just because you smoke cigars and took offense to one little joke about said cancer-causing toys. But you found your teflon skirt and are bouncing back in high fashion. You might fit in nicely here after all. :D

I really don't care to read all of that profane stuff.

-swg

The post-script: Sorry I have bitten your head off. I was just a sensitive butt-in in thing no longer my concern there

. . .From the temper tantrum fallout I have had the past week!!!!! I am just as sensitive as Jocey is, so don't put it on me!!!

-swg

Just think four drumsticks on the rotweiler and the puppies are served like Cornish game hens. For the true afficiandos, there is always The Roadkill Cafe if you choose to eat out. They specialize in Puree of Poodle, German Sauteed Shepard, Rack of Lhasa and for desert those all time favourite of Squashed Squirrel and Chunk of Skunk. With that in mind, take your truck to get Bounced Boar and you shouldn't have to go much further than your favorite topless joint for the dear hunt. Someone once defined hunting as the pursuit of the uneatable by the unspeakable. I think it was Oscar Wilde, a man renowned for his tiptoing through the tulips. Ol' Oscar was a tad light in his loafers and you wouldn't want to drop the soap if you were in a shower with him. Women seemed to like him though; so go figure.

you forgot baked hedgehog.....

Tut tut!!

GG

And here I thought they were for braising to make them tastier when reheated. Reheated hedgehog; another rare treat. If you like that you should try poached porcupine, a guaranteed prickly sensation for the palate. Be sure to save the quills for coating in magnesium oxide to make 4th of July sparklers.:^O

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

it is the "meal of choice" amongst many a gypsy over here....quite a delicacy. Usually cooked in a fire pit, I'm told.

Quills? Hmm. If there are any spare, can you send them to me please? Quite good for my calligraphy!

:D

GG

You wouldn't want to prick yourself with one of them(DE)as they sink into the flesh and are hard to get out. LOL

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

as a pointed remark, then?!

:p

GG

That's why they're so hard to remove once they've sunk into the flesh and have taken up residence. :^O

If it was to me my reply might be,"Why just last night......." ;) but if it was to poor jd, since he has just gone through a divorce, I doubt he has been getting his fair share lately. This will explain why he has gone boar hunting; you know, chasing a pig around, in the bush. :( :_|

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

jdclyde has been whining like a little b!tch about his wife non-stop for months. I started posting outrageously offensive opinions on TR in March or April of this year, and got the same bogus pleas from JD's pals about his hard luck, and his mean wife, and please be nice to him, he's going through a hard time.

If you care to read his thread about his divorce, or any of his posts for that matter, you'll see quickly that he can BS with the worst of them. I don't give him any slack over his divorce any more, he's been moping and stewing long enough.

I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, Jocey.

"If everyone else is going to get offendend by me giving one person a hard time, I might as well change my user name to "ahole" right now!"

Great idea. Do that.

All I see is constant BS and flame wars that mere children would enjoy.

What happened to a site for professionals that want to discuss IT.

TR obviously doesn't monitor this site very well, otherwise you would all lose your memberships here for creating so many off topic threads.

GROW UP PEOPLE!

Did you people know that you're a blast to read? I think it's great fun to read how you "Thrust Parry /Thrust Parry and finally Touch?".
I love the back and forth rapport that you all seem to have, I find it very stimulating and entertaining.
Thank you for the quips, quirks, the one liners an the rest of the great fun you poke at one another.
It's fun to read.
Well Done.
Warmest Regards :)
Aaron

I don't seem to recall much slack or you holding your punchs back? Would think even less of you if you did! ;\

(little b!tch?)

His 'initial' divorce post was simply asking for advice. It's hardly his fault that the thread took off. As far as his 'whining' most of what he's said is what one would expect during such a difficult time. And quite frankly, I think he's handled himself quite well for the most part.

Was, surely, recognisable by [b]anyone[/b] as a joke.

Just like JD's sex life at the moment... :p

Are you ever nice to anyone??

Besides, I have read through JDs thread. He was only asking for advice, just like SWG was in the thread "The Fallout" ....

I wonder if anyone will help you,when (I am not saying IF !!) YOU need help...I will certainly think twice ...

I misread your post as applicable to me. Sorry about that but I'm just getting over a malaria recurrence and I wasn't seeing too clearly. Shlt happens; not much anyone can do about it.
No swipes at your being asian. I've got two very good reasons why I wouldn't do that. One is named Ghazala and the other Saira. Ghazie lives in Daremsala and Saira lives in Spain. Okay???

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

All is forgiven .. I say this in a humble way :)

And I will try not to be boring ... :D .. To prove it, here is a non blonde joke ...

Stuck in rush-hour traffic, I couldn't help but stare when a burly biker wearing a black leather jacket and chaps pulled up next to me on a shocking pink Harley-Davidson. My first thoughts were, "Is that really a pink Harley? I wonder if he's ." Just then the traffic cleared and he pulled in front of me. On the back of his helmet were stenciled the words "Yes, it is. No, I'm not."

]:)

"If you can read this, then the b1tch fell off."
This is real; you can buy these shirts in just about any Harley shop. Wonder if this makes me a chauvinist??? BTW over here Harleys are often called HOGS. It's an acronym for Harley Owners Group. I should probably sell the damn thing because I notice down at the emergency dept. they refer to all motor cyclists, not just Harley riders, as, "Organ Donors". I've been riding for over 50 years; maybe I'm getting too old for it but I do know one guy, still riding, over 75. He hasn't had a spill yet and neither have I. There are two speeds on a HOG. On or Off!!!

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

"Everyone gets a piece of a$$", even you. LOL :^O

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

I love Harley Shirts ...

50 years on a harley?? I still have to start my 50 years .. :D

You're 23-24 never mind starting your 50 years; can you kick start a Hog or easier for you, bump start it. The wuss way doesn't count.

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

I was a biker from my late teens until about ten years ago, latterly in the company of a loose club of a dozen old (oldish) farts. Some of these guys had been bikers back in their teens and twenties on 125/250s and had returned to biking on 900cc cafe racers with 0-60 figures of 2.4 seconds. Far too much to handle on UK roads. Me? Shaft drive Kawasaki tourers, BMW K series. During one year, five of the ten had serious biking accidents with three fatalities and one crippled.

I sold my bike that year and now, if I'm on holiday or it's summer, I rent one.

I did rent a Harley, once, for a day's riding on Highway 1 in California. What is the attraction? If I sat on my Beamer with it ticking over, it purred quietly and would take off with a zip and a little friendly whine as it revved up to 8 or 9K. The HD was chug-achug-achug-a - like sitting on a bloody tractor - and open the throttle and it had a little think before taking off.

Handling? Don't make me laugh! Luckily, this was on US roads though HW1 isn't straight! I would [b]never[/b] ride a Harley in the UK as you wouldn't get five miles along a country A-Road without dumping the bugger! The first time I used the brakes in anger, I nearly crapped myself. I suspect it's the sheer weight of the damn thing because I wasn't going that fast because I couldn't. I don't know how big the engine was - I reckon well over a litre - but the power seemed less than my old GT550.

Still. Looked good though.

See it wasn't any worse than finding yourself naked in public - was it???
