Cliff expounds his "Buffalo Theory" to Norm:
?Well, you see, Norm, it?s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it?s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.?
That's a good one. Lol.
ok...that...was creepy! lol i am going to have my teenage daughter come in and put her finger on the "rainbow". I can't wait to see her expression! lol where do you find these things? ha ha

Gun Control, It's Already Started...........
There was a bit of confusion at the Cabe's Sporting Goods store this morning.
When I was ready to pay for my purchases of gun powder and bullets the cashier said,
"Strip down, facing me."
Making a mental note to complain to the NRA about the gun control whackos running amok,
I did just as she had instructed.
When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out that she was referring
to my credit card.
I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future.
They need to make their instructions to us seniors a little clearer!
A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the highway. Nothing is moving. Suddenly a man knocks on the window.
The driver rolls down the window and asks "What's going on?"
"Terrorists have kidnapped congress and are asking for a $10 million ransom. Otherwise, they will douse them with gasoline and set them on fire. We're going from car, taking up a collection."
The driver asks "How much is everyone giving, on average?"
The man replies "About a gallon."
A Baptist pastor was presenting a children's sermon. During the sermon, he asked the children if they knew what the resurrection was. Now, asking questions during children's sermons is crucial, but at the same time, asking
children questions in front of a congregation can also be very dangerous.
Having asked the children if they knew the meaning of the resurrection, a little boy raised his hand. The pastor called on him and the little boy said, "I know that if you have a resurrection that lasts more than four
hours you are supposed to call the doctor."
It took over ten minutes for the congregation to settle down enough from their laughter for the worship service to be continued.
I see you got your motors up and running this morning...firing on all 5 cylinders too aye? lol Must have been that getting to bed early thing..either that or you had a lot of goooood coffee this morning! lol
JK..those are actually very interesting diagrams in action! Makes the dummies like me understand how things work better! Thank you!
And I just now read the jokes above! LMAO...loved the kitty one, the gun control one, the congress one brought a real chuckle. But, the child's version of "resurrection" was priceless!
Thanks for the morning funnies and items of interest to get the brain going!
That 5 pronged thing caught my attention. Fascinating to watch. Reminds me of my dance moves back in the day. Lol. JK. 8)
At first I wondered whet the heck are all those diagrams about. Finally my slow connection kicked in and shatanka's post caused it all to make sense.

Yes...its a disqualification. I used to play in agility with my Jack Russell Terrier. FWIW..she never did that. Lol.
"Isn't that special?"
"Late again!" the third-grade teacher sternly said to little Johnny.
"It ain't my fault this time, Miss Russell. You can blame this one on my Daddy. The reason I'm three hours late is my Daddy sleeps naked!"
Now, Miss Russell had taught grammar school for thirty-some-odd years. Despite her mounting fears, she asked little Johnny what he meant by that. Full of grins and mischief, and in the flower of his youth, little Johnny and trouble were old friends,...... but he always told her the truth.
"You see, Miss Russell, out at the farm we got this here low down fox. The last few nights, he done ate six hens.
Last night, when Daddy heard a noise out in the chicken pen, he grabbed his double barreled shot gun and said to my Ma, "That fox is back again... I'm a gonna git him!'' "Stay back," Daddy whispered to all us kids!
"My Daddy was naked as a jaybird -- no boots, no pants, no shirt! He sneaked out to the hen house, just like an Injun on the snoop.
Then, he stuck that double-barreled 12-gauge shot gun through the window of the coop. As he stared into the darkness, with a fox on his mind, our old hound dog, Rip, had done woke up and comes sneaking up behind Daddy.
Then, as we all looked on, plumb helpless, old Rip done went and stuck his cold nose in my Daddy's crack!"
"Miss Russell, we all been cleanin' chickens since three o'clock this mornin!"
OMG ROTF!! That was funny!!!
Careful, Dorothy...... ;D

Awww..that dog imitating the baby talking ( or is the baby imitating the dog? lol) was adorable. It makes me wonder how much and how hard dogs, and other animals such as dolphins , really are trying to communicate with us ! They try to speak "human", and try to understand!
I wonder what these two were saying to each other! LMAO
oh I hear that we have a chocolate lab and and a mini doxie that like to "speak" and somedays we sit and look at them and ask "what do you want?"
Cell phone etiquette, ya think...
After a tiring day, the young commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes.
As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice: " Hi sweetheart. It's Eric. I'm on the train ."
" Yes, I know it's the six thirty and not the four thirty, but I had a long meeting ."
" No, honey, not with that blonde from the accounts office. With the boss ."
" No sweetheart; you're the only one in my life. Yes, I'm sure, cross my heart ."
Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly when the young woman sitting next to him had enough, leaned over, and said into the phone,
"Eric, turn off that phone and come back to bed."
Eric doesn't use his cell phone in public any longer.
Now that was a good one. ;D
Lol. Love it.
That was cute! WHY ARE CATS SOOO WEIRD?? lol What is it with boxes, bags, empty drawers ..whatever crawl hole they can get into, they do? My daughter's cat ( well still a kitten that she rescued last summer from a Tractor Supply outside, it's about 8 m-9 months old now..and MORE DEMON than Jon's cats I think!) is CLIMBING the walls here lately. I wish I could find him a box for him to crawl into! lol
Kinda like catching a kid and making them happy give them a great big box to play with!!
A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and talk turns to their adventures on the sea. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, a hook, and an eye patch.
The seaman asks, "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?" The pirate replies, "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off."
"Wow!" said the seaman. "What about your hook"? "Well", replied the pirate, "We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand off."
"Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "How did you get the eye patch"? "A seagull dropping fell into my eye," replied the pirate.
"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?," the sailor asked incredulously. "Well," said the pirate, "it was my first day with my hook"
OUCH! Sounds like something I'd do! lol

We did this in a first grade classroom I went to volunteer for years ago. The coat hangers and string things do work! I like that mixture that was mentioned using corn syrup with Joy dishsoap! That sounds like it's the PERFECT bubble making concoction! The kids had a blast...I was just full of bubble mix from trying to help them coat their bubble wands! lol

The next time someone asks you a dumb question wouldn't you like to respond like this?
Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my dog at Wal-Mart and was about to check out. A woman behind me
asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had?
So, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again. Although I probably
shouldn't, because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before awakened in an intensive care
ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina
nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to
try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story.)
Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food had poisoned me.
I told her oh no; I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish setter's butt and a car hit me.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard!

Baby's best friend... ;D
The other night I was invited out for a night with the 'girls.'
I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, 'I promise!'
Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily.
Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home.
Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed 3 times.
Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times.
I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with him.
(Even when totally smashed.... 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals = 12 cuckoos - MIDNIGHT!)
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, I told him 'MIDNIGHT.' He didn't seem angry in the least. Whew, I got away with that one!
Then he said 'We need a new cuckoo clock.'
When I asked him why, he said, 'Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said 'oh shoot,' cuckooed four more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.'
That sounds like Patty back in the day
Lol.
That's one I passed on to a few friends...! :o :o :o :o
And farted. ........ He's married to a female plumber.

Jabuticaba is a Brazilian grape tree found in the states of Minas Gerias and Sao Paulo, in the south of Brazil. The fruit grows directly from the trunk and branches of the tree, which gives the Jabuticaba tree a very unusual appearance. The fruit itself is a small and round, about 3 to 4 cm in diameter, with one to four large seeds, a thick, deep purple colored skin and a sweet, white or rosy pink gelatinous flesh. Naturally the tree may flower and fruit only once or twice a year, but when continuously irrigated it flowers frequently, and fresh fruit can be available year round in tropical regions. During Jabuticaba season in Minas Gerais, thousands of street vendors sell fresh Jabuticaba in small net bags, and the sidewalks and streets are stained the same deep purple by discarded Jabuticaba skins.
Good old Fox News.....LOL.....fell for a hoax, big time.....LMAO...I still can't believe that she got through reading this without cracking up.......DOH.....
Wikipedia answers what this is about. Here is part of their article on Animusic: "Animusic is an American company specializing in the 3D visualization of MIDI-based music. Founded by Wayne Lytle, it is incorporated in New York and has offices in Texas and California. The initial name of the company was Visual Music, changed to Animusic in 1995."
That Animusic is great. Lots of it on You Tube.

Its a type of dance move that Miley Cyrus does in her eyebrow raising (to put it mildly) videos. It's called twerking. It's also being done by other pop singers and is all the rage with girls and young women. Apparently cats are are catching on to the craze now.
An old Marine Pilot sat down at the Starbucks, still wearing his old USMC flight suit and leather jacket and ordered a cup of coffee.
As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the pilot and asked, 'Are you a real pilot?'
He replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life flying planes, first Stearmans, then the early Grummans... flew a Wildcat and Corsair in WWII, and later in the Korean conflict, Banshees and Cougars. I've taught more than 260 people to fly and given rides to hundreds, so I guess I am a pilot, and you, what are you?
She said, 'I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women. When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.'
The two sat sipping in silence.
A little while later, a young man sat down on the other side of the old pilot and asked: "are you a real pilot?"
He replied, 'I always thought I was, but I just found out I'm a lesbian.'
Ok...try not to laugh....LOL...you can't ;D

He replies,' No! But it stops me from licking them!'

Lorena Bobbitt's sister, Luella, was arrested yesterday for an alleged
attempt to perform the same act on her husband as her famous sister had
done several years ago. Sources reveal the sister was not as accurate as
Lorena.
She allegedly missed the target and stabbed her husband in the upper
thigh causing severe muscle and tendon damage. The husband is reported
to be in serious, but stable condition.
Luella has been charged with one

Some solutions, while not exactly simple are so low tech that they are mostly overlooked. This article is a prime example of this, a simple technique that can be done anywhere with a heavy duty truck battery and a few feet of wire.

Can Radio Waves Completely Transform Agriculture?
Activist Post
A single innovation from an octogenarian professor in Ireland is raising eyebrows and gaining accolades, though it is strangely absent in the U.S. mainstream media. Professor Austin Darragh of Limerick University is employing a new use of radio wave technology that could be called the new or real miracle grow. The consequences of its implementation are being referred to as "the greatest breakthrough in agriculture since the plough." The biotech industry continues to assert that modern-day farming must be driven by genetic modification in order to provide more consistent crop production. This assertion is often coupled with climate change and overpopulation arguments which remain scientifically debatable. In terms of straight food production, however, GMOs do not provide more food; it's one of the many GMO myths that continue to be perpetuated by those who stand to gain the most from genetic modification of the food supply, as well as the increased use of pesticides and herbicides that have resulted. Sustainable agricultural practices are the real answer. This has been proven time and again. We are often shown images of starving people in Third World countries who presumably need saving by corporate GMO conglomerates. However, in just one example, poverty-stricken rice and potato farmers in India confirmed record-breaking yields after switching to truly organic food production. (Source) This is a similar story as others reported in Africa, with incredible additional benefits to the economy and human rights (read the full report here). Nevertheless, there is a lot of money at stake for corporations invested in GMO, as well as climate change, so the propaganda is bound to continue . . . Unless someone were able to entirely short-circuit all aspects of the debate. This is exactly the promise held by Vi-Aqua technology. Extensively tested in Ireland and several other countries, the inexpensive water treatment technology is now being rolled out across the world. The technology makes GM obsolete and also addresses the whole global warming fear that there is too much carbon dioxide in the air, by simply converting excess CO2 into edible plant mass. A simple technical description explains the low-cost solution provided by developers Austin Darragh and Dr JJ Leahy of Limerick University?s Department of Chemistry and Environmental Science: The compact biscuit-tin-sized technology, which is called Vi-Aqua ? meaning 'life water' ? converts 24 volts of electricity into a radio signal, which charges up the water via an antennae. Once the device is attached to a hose, thousands of gallons of water can be charged up in less than 10 minutes at a cost of pennies. Image Source
Image
The newly energized water is not only an inexpensive solution that renders genetic modification unnecessary while being environmentally sensitive, it gets better results. Early results suggest that crop production can increase by as much as 30%. Carrots actually showed a yield increase of 46%. Not only are the plants much bigger but they are largely disease-resistant, meaning huge savings in expensive fertilisers and harmful pesticides. There is also a massive reduction in water consumption, thus addressing yet another serious concern as fresh water resources are dwindling worldwide. Europe in general has shown increasing resistance to permitting GMO crops, instituting bans in numerous countries. Field trials of Vi-Aqua are ongoing there and are gaining rapid traction. Now that there appears to be a viable solution tailored to cheaply and safely address every single concern used by large biotech conglomerates to sell their provable poisons, this very well might be something already growing beyond their control.

An sad, old man sitting was sitting on a park bench when along came a police officer. The officer asked the old man why he was so upset.
The old man replied, "Every morning I wake up with a wonderful 20 year old blonde. She cooks great meals including sausage, and bacon and everything I love. Then we make passionate love in bed. Afterwards, she gives me a bath, with hand drawn hot water, cooks me lunch and followed by more passionate love. In the evening, we'll have top the day off with a fantastic diner and yet more wonderful love.
The police officer gets a puzzled look on his face and asks, "Well, what seems to be the problem?"
The old man replied with a sad look on his face, "I can't remember where I live!"

4 Year Old?s first job.......
Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little 4-year-old girl and some construction workers that will make you believe that we all can make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time.
A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot. One day, a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot. The young family's 4-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 20 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 ten dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother who suggested that she take her ten dollars "pay" she'd received to the bank the next day to start a savings account.
When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check at such a young age.
The little girl proudly replied, "I worked last week with a real construction crew building the new house next door to us."
"Oh 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 a$$holes at Home Depot ever deliver the f- &*%#uckin' drywall..."
Ain't it heart warming??.. ;D

A Catholic Priest, a Baptist Preacher and a Rabbi all served as Chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University at Marquette in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop.
One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard, a real challenge would be to preach to a bear.
One thing led to another, and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it to their religion.
Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their experiences.
Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches, and had various bandages on his body and limbs, went first.
'Well,' he said, 'I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him, I began to read to him from the Catechism.
Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle as a lamb. The Bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation.'
Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, had one arm and both legs in casts, and had an IV drip.
In his best fire-and-brimstone oratory, he exclaimed, 'WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we Baptists don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me.
So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quickly DUNKED him and BAPTI ZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus. Hallelujah!
The Priest and the Reverend both looked down at the Rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IVs and monitors running in and out of him. He was in really bad shape.
The Rabbi looked up and said: "Looking back on it, ....circumcision may not have been the best way to start..."
Now that's a good one!
Neil Armstrong........ priceless!
ON JULY 20, 1969, AS COMMANDER OF THE APOLLO 11 LUNAR
MODULE, NEIL ARMSTRONG WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO SET FOOT ON
THE MOON.
HIS FIRST WORDS AFTER STEPPING ON THE MOON, "THAT'S ONE
SMALL STEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND," WERE
TELEVISED TO EARTH AND HEARD BY MILLIONS.*
BUT JUST BEFORE HE RE-ENTERED THE LANDER, HE MADE THE
ENIGMATIC REMARK
"GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY."
MANY PEOPLE AT NASA THOUGHT IT WAS A CASUAL REMARK
CONCERNING SOME RIVAL
SOVIET COSMONAUT. HOWEVER, UPON CHECKING, THERE WAS NO
GORSKY IN EITHER THE RUSSIAN OR AMERICAN SPACE PROGRAMS .
OVER THE YEARS, MANY PEOPLE QUESTIONED ARMSTRONG AS TO WHAT
THE - 'GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY' STATEMENT MEANT, BUT
ARMSTRONG ALWAYS JUST SMILED.
ON JULY 5, 1995, IN TAMPA BAY, FLORIDA , WHILE ANSWERING
QUESTIONS FOLLOWING
A SPEECH, A REPORTER BROUGHT UP THE 26-YEAR-OLD QUESTION
ABOUT MR GORSKY TO
ARMSTRONG.
THIS TIME HE FINALLY RESPONDED BECAUSE MR. GORSKY HAD DIED,
SO NEIL ARMSTRONG FELT HE COULD NOW ANSWER THE QUESTION.
HERE IS THE ANSWER TO "WHO WAS MR GORSKY":
IN 1938, WHEN HE WAS A KID IN A SMALL MID-WESTERN TOWN , HE
WAS PLAYING
BASEBALL WITH A FRIEND IN THE BACKYARD. HIS FRIEND HIT THE
BALL, WHICH LANDED IN HIS NEIGHBOUR'S YARD BY THEIR BEDROOM
WINDOW.
HIS NEIGHBOURS WERE MR. AND MRS. GORSKY. AS HE LEANED DOWN
TO PICK UP THE
BALL, YOUNG ARMSTRONG HEARD MRS. GORSKY SHOUTING AT MR.
GORSKY,
"SEX! YOU WANT SEX?! YOU'LL GET SEX WHEN THE KID NEXT DOOR
WALKS ON THE MOON!"
It broke the place up.
NEIL ARMSTRONG'S FAMILY CONFIRMED THIS IS A TRUE STORY.
nice boat... ;D
Abe & Esther
Abe and Esther are flying to Australia for a two-week vacation to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm afraid I have some very bad news... Our engines have ceased functioning and we will attempt an emergency landing. Luckily, I see an uncharted island below us and we should be able to land on the beach. However, the odds are that we may never be rescued and will have to live on the island for the rest of our lives!"
tks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands safely on the island.
An hour later Abe turns to his wife and asks, "Esther, did we pay our VISA and MasterCard bills yet?"
"No, sweetheart," she responds.
Abe, still shaken from the crash landing, then asks, "Esther, did we pay our American Express card yet?"
"Oh, no! I'm sorry. I forgot to send the check," she says.
"One last thing Esther. Did you remember to send the estimated earnings check to the IRS this quarter?" he asks.
"Oh, forgive me, Abe," begged Esther. "I didn't send that one, either."
Abe grabs her and gives her the biggest kiss in 40 years.
Esther pulls away and asks him, "What was that for?"
Abe answers, "They'll find us!"
Last Kiss
Back on November 9th, a group of Oakland, CA Bikers were riding north on Hwy 101 when they saw a girl about to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge , so they stopped.
George, their leader, a big burly man of 53, gets off his Harley, walks through a group of gawkers, past the CHP officer who was trying to talk her down off the railing, and says, "Hey Baby.....whatcha doin' up there on that railin'?"
She says tearfully, "I'm going to commit suicide!!"
While he didn't want to appear "sensitive," George also didn't want to miss this "be-a-legend" opportunity either so he asked ..."Well, before you jump, Honey-Babe...why don't you give ole George here your best last kiss?"
So, with no hesitation at all, she leaned back over the railing and did just that...and it was a long, deep, lingering kiss followed immediately by another even better one.
After they breathlessly finished, George gets a big thumbs-up approval from his biker-buddies, the onlookers, and even the CHP officer, and then says, "Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had, Honey! That's a real talent you're wasting, Sugar Shorts. You could be famous if you rode with me. Why are you committing suicide?"
"My parents don't like me dressing like a girl."
It's still unclear whether she jumped or was pushed.
You'll have a job topping those last two Jon. Very funny.

That biker one was real funny. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
He was pushed

AP A burrito caused a minor scare at an Oklahoma City police briefing station after a man brought the foil-wrapped object in for analysis.
Oklahoma City Police Capt. Dexter Nelson says a man discovered a Thermos-type container in his lawn Thursday afternoon and brought it to a police briefing station. Nelson says the container was heavy and had tinfoil protruding from the lid, so the man considered it suspicious.
The Oklahoman reports ( http://bit.ly/17yCP4z ) that officers told the man to leave the container outside and the police bomb squad X-rayed the item. The analysis determined that it was only a burrito.
Although it was harmless, police aren't laughing at the incident. Nelson says anyone who finds a suspicious object should call authorities ? not bring it to a police station themselves.

A couple was Christmas shopping at the mall on Christmas Eve and the mall was packed.
Walking through the mall the surprised wife look up and noticed her husband was no where around and she was very upset because they had a lot to do.
She used her cell phone to call her husband because she was so upset, to ask him where he was.
The husband in a calm voice said, honey remember the jewelry store we went into 5 years ago where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that we could not afford and I told you that I would get it for you one day.
His wife said crying, yes I remember that jewelry store.
He said, well I'm in the bar next to it.

The Irish Sugar Test
One day an Irishman goes into a pharmacy - reaches into his pocket and takes out a small Irish whiskey bottle and a teaspoon.
He pours from the bottle onto the teaspoon and offers it to the chemist.
"Could you taste this for me, please?"
The chemist takes the teaspoon, puts it in his mouth, swills the liquid around and swallows it.
"Does that taste sweet to you?" says Paddy.
"No, not at all," says the chemist.
"Oh that's a relief," says Paddy. "The doctor told me to come here and get my urine tested for sugar."
Santa's New Contract For 2013
A new contract for Santa has been negotiated...Please read the following carefully.
I regret to inform you that, effective immediately, I will no longer be able to serve the Southern United States on Christmas Eve. Due to the overwhelming current population of the Earth, my contract was re-negotiated by North American Fairies and Elves Local 209. I now only serve certain areas of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan. I also get longer breaks for milk and cookies, so keep that in mind.
However, I am certain that your children will be in good hands with your local replacement that happens to be my third cousin, Bubba Claus. His side of the family is from the South Pole. He shares my goal of delivering toys to all good boys and girls; however, there are a few differences between us. They are as follows:
1. There is no danger of a Grinch stealing your presents from Bubba. He has a gun rack on his sleigh and a bumper sticker that reads "This sleigh insured by Smith & Wesson".
2. Instead of milk and cookies, Bubba Claus prefers children to leave RC cola and pork rinds (or a moon pie) on the fireplace. And Bubba doesn't smoke a pipe. He dips a little snuff, though, so please have an empty spit can handy.
3. Bubba's sleigh is pulled by floppy-eared, flying coon dogs instead of reindeer. I made the mistake of loaning him a couple of my reindeer one time and Blitzen's head now overlooks Bubba's fireplace.
4. You won't hear "On Comet, on Cupid..." when Bubba Claus arrives. Instead you will hear "On Earnhardt, on Wallace, on Martin and Labonte. On Rudd, on Jarrett, on Elliot and Petty."
5. "Ho, Ho, Ho!" has been replaced by "Yee Haw!" And you also are likely to hear Bubba's elves respond "I hear'd dat!"
6. As required by Southern highway laws, Bubba Claus' sleigh does have Yosemite Sam mud flaps with the words "Back Off". The last I heard, it has other decorations as well. One is a Chevy logo with lights that race through the letters and the other is a caricature of me (Santa Claus) going wee-wee on the Tooth Fairy.
7. The usual Christmas movie classics such as "Miracle on 34th Street" and "It's a Wonderful Life" will not be shown in your viewing area. Instead you will see "Ernest Saves Christmas" and "Smoky and the Bandit IV" featuring Burt Reynolds as Bubba Claus and dozens of state patrol cars crashing into each other.
8. Bubba Claus doesn't wear a belt. If I were you, I'd make sure that you, the wife and the kids turn the other way when he bends over to put the presents under the tree.
9. Don't look for the traditional stocking items this year either. Instead of chocolates and candy canes, children in the South can expect to find beef jerky, Vienna sausages and a can of Spam.
10. Toys will be assembled by Bubba Claus's elves in his Freedom Homes doublewide workshop.
11. And finally, lovely Christmas songs such as Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" will be replaced. "Bubba Shot the Jukebox" and "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" will be played repeatedly on radio stations all over the South.
Sincerely yours,
Santa Claus

A DEA Agent stopped at a ranch in Texas and talked to an old rancher. He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." The rancher said, "okay, but don't go into that field over there...", as he pointed out the location. The DEA Agent verbally exploded and said, "look mister, I have the authority of the federal government with me!" Reaching into his rear back pocket, the arrogant officer removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher. "See this badge?! This badge means I can go wherever I want... On any land! No questions asked, no answers given! Do you understand old man?!" The rancher kindly nodded, apologized, and went about his chores. Moments later the rancher heard loud screams, he looked up and saw the DEA agent running for his life, being chased by the ranchers big Santa Gertrudis Bull...... With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it was likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified. The old rancher threw down his tools, ran as fast as he could to the fence, and yelled at the top of his lungs...... "YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR BADGE!"

What's this?
Looks like an Anomalocaris, the largest predator of the Cambrian Explosion. This is when fossils of multicellular animals first made a big appearance and many new forms of animals first appeared (very exciting). However this thing has only one mouth appendage instead of a pair. Maybe a version based on an earlier interpretation of the fossils when the paired appendages were not yet understood.

You've done it this time, Dennis...! One of my closer fishy friends here has a beautiful older St. Bernard. He and his wife have had a most wonderful time and relationship with that big ol' mutt. He's VERY sweet and loveable. They are heartbroken now because Christmas Eve they learned that he has bone cancer and it's too far along to treat. We are all saddened by this.

Kids and dogs a great combo.
Our current dog (Snooter) is a cross between a pit bullish thing and some kind of hound.
When my daughter was younger and the right size, the would go between her legs, pick her up off the ground, flop her over, and nip at her feet to tickle her.
They would also play hid and seek. Ezmie (daughter) would throw a ball into another room, Snooter would run off and get it, Ezmie would hide, Snooter would come back, not see Ezmie, drop the ball, hunt for her, find her, get the ball and give it to her.
Here is Snooter with a head light celebrating Christmas:

When I was flying model air planes I built a f4u corsair thing flew like a manhole cover. My coolest plane was the fairchild a10 worthog. It had a five foot wing span. And twin ducted fans. Sadly it never seen the air. I did get it finished then I stopped flying them. They take up alot of time and money.

Dear Mrs. Woolf, Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Woolf, are listed below and are "documented by our video surveillance cameras":
1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5- minute intervals.
3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted in management getting involved causing management to lose time and costing the company money.
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to reserve a bag of chips.
6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers they could come in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department - to which twenty children obliged.
8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' Emergency Medics were called.
9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose. 10. September
10: While handling guns in the Sports department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. October 3: Darted around the Store suspiciously while loudly humming the ' Mission Impossible' theme.
12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.
13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'
14. October 22: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed the fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!
15. Took a box of condoms to the checkout clerk and asked where the fitting room was. And last, but not least:
16. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, and then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the Staff passed out.
LOL!!!!

A guy goes to a female dentist to have a tooth extracted.
She pulled out a large syringe to give an anesthetic shot.
"No way, no needles! I hate needles!" the man said.
So she started to hook up the nitrous oxide tank, and the man said,
"I can't do the gas thing. Just the thought of having a mask on my face suffocates me!
The dentist then asked the patient if he had any objections to taking a pill.
"No," he says, "I'm fine with pills."
The dentist gave him two little blue pills and he swallowed them.
"What are those?" he asked. "Viagra," she replied.
"I'll be damned," said the patient, "I didn't know Viagra worked as a pain killer."
"It doesn't," said the dentist, "But it will give you something to hold on to when I pull your tooth."
Very nice find.

looks interesting for sure....mostly different terms, etc...
Certainly no shortages of choices when you run Linux. If you get tired of the way things look or just don't like the way things operate, just change the desktop manager. There's Gnome, KDE, FluxBox, LXDE, Unity, Mate, XFCE, Cinnamon, and many others... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_Window_System_desktop_environments (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_Window_System_desktop_environments).
Then there is all the FREE software. Need an Office Suite there's Open Office & Libre Office both do anything that M$ Office does. Don't want to spend hundreds on PhotoShop, there's GIMP - cost nada. The list goes on and on..... the last time I checked, there were 37,500 free software packages for Debian Linux. All tested and easy to install. http://www.debian.org/ (http://www.debian.org/)

Interesting piece of history:
The Arabs invented the condom in 700 BC, using a goat's lower intestine.
In 1873 the British refined the idea by taking the intestine out of the goat first.

A Little Old Lady On Trial .....
Defence Attorney: Will you please state your age?
Little Old Lady: I am 86 years old.
DA: Will you tell us, in your own words, what happened the night of April 1st?
LOL: There I was, sitting there in my swing on my front veranda, on a warm spring evening, when a young man comes creeping up and sat down beside me.
DA: Did you know him?
LOL: No, but he sure was friendly.
DA: What happened after he sat down?
LOL: He started to rub my thigh.
DA: Did you stop him?
LOL: No, I didn't stop him.
DA: Why not?
LOL: It felt good. Nobody had done that since my husband died some 30 years ago.
DA: What happened next?
LOL: He began to rub my breasts.
DA: Did you stop him then?
LOL: No, I did not stop him.
DA: Why not?
LOL: His rubbing made me feel all alive and excited. I haven't felt that good in years!
DA: What happened next?
LOL: Well, by then, I was feeling really "spicy" that I just lay down and told him
"Take me, young man. Take me!"
DA: Did he take you?
LOL: Hell, no! He just yelled, "April Fool!"... And that's when I shot the little bastard!
An old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home.
He followed me into the house, down the hall, and fell asleep on the couch. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back, resumed his position on the couch and slept for an hour. This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: 'Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.'
The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar: 'He lives in a home with four children -- he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'
Check this out. Pretty cool!

A little old lady went to the grocery store to buy cat food. She picked up three cans and took them to the check out counter.
The girl at the cash register said, "I'm sorry, but we cannot sell you cat food without proof that you have a cat. A lot of old people buy cat food to eat, and the management wants proof that you are buying the cat food for your cat."
The little old lady went home, picked up her cat and brought it back to the store. They sold her the cat food.
The next day, she tried to buy two cans of dog food.
Again, the cashier said, "I'm sorry, but we cannot sell you dog food without proof that you have a dog. A lot of old people buy dog food to eat, but the management wants proof that you are buying the dog food for your dog."
So she went home and brought in her dog. She then was able to buy the dog food.
The next day she brought in a box with a hole in the lid.
The little old lady asked the cashier to stick her finger in the hole.
The cashier said, "No, you might have a snake in there."
The little old lady assured her that there was nothing in the box that would harm her. So the cashier put her finger into the box and quickly pulled it out. She said to the little old lady, "That smells like poop."
The little old lady said, "It is. I want to buy two rolls of toilet paper."
Don't mess with old people

By now, everyone has heard of the Air Force's ultra-high-security, super-secret base in Nevada, known simply as "Area 51." Late one afternoon, the Air Force folks out at Area 51 were very surprised to see a Cessna landing at their "secret" base. They immediately impounded the aircraft and hauled the pilot into an interrogation room.
The pilot's story was that he took off from Vegas, got lost, and spotted the Base just as he was about to run out of fuel. The Air Force started a full FBI background check on the pilot and held him overnight during the investigation.
By the next day, they were finally convinced that the pilot really was lost and wasn't a spy. They gassed up his airplane, gave him a terrifying "you-did-not-see-a-base" briefing, complete with threats of spending the rest of his life in prison, told him Vegas was that-a-way on such-and-such a heading, and sent him on his way.
The next day, to the total disbelief of the Air Force, the same Cessna showed up again. Once again, the MP's surrounded the plane . . . only this time there were two people in the plane.
The same pilot jumped out and said, "Do anything you want to me, but my wife is in the plane and you have to tell her where I was last night!"
...almost..... ;D
It would of been more impressive if he made it across.
There is a Mythbuster's show on this, but they used a motorcycle.

Morris , an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?'
Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''
The doctor said, 'I didn't say that.. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'

William Harley and Arthur Davidson 1914
A man wakes up one morning to find a gorilla on his roof. So he looks in the yellow pages and sure
enough, there's an ad for "Gorilla Removers". He calls the number, and the gorilla remover says he'll
be over in 30 minutes.
The gorilla remover arrives, and gets out of his van. He's got a ladder, a baseball bat, a shotgun and
a mean old pit bull.
"What are you going to do?" the homeowner asks.
"I'm going to put this ladder up against the roof, then I'm going to go up there and knock the gorilla
off the roof with this baseball bat. When the gorilla falls off, the pit bull is trained to grab his testicles
and not let go. The gorilla will then be subdued enough for me to put him in the cage in the back of
the van."
So the guy puts the ladder up, gets the bat and the shotgun and walks towards the ladder. As he
gets to the base of the ladder, he hands the shotgun to the homeowner.
"What's the shotgun for?" asks the homeowner.
"If the gorilla knocks me off the roof, shoot the dog!"
One born every minute, huh? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
My God, that's a crock' not a 'gater. It almost took the guy's foot off at one point. Surely we wouldn't be seeing it if it hadn't ended well.
A man went skydiving for the first time. After listening to the instructor for what seemed like days, he was ready to go. Excited, he jumped out of the airplane. About five seconds later, he pulled the ripcord. Nothing happened. He tried again. Still nothing. He started to panic, but remembered his back-up chute. He pulled that cord. Nothing happened. He frantically began yanking both cords to no avail.
Suddenly he looked down, and he couldn't believe his eyes. Another man was in the air with him, but this guy was going up! Just as the other guy passed by, the skydiver yelled, "Hey, do you know anything about skydiving?"
The other guy yelled back, "No! Do you know anything about gas stoves?"
Very very funny. I had to read it twice before it clicked in my head. He should have grabbed a hold of the guy going up. It would have giving both of them a better chance of surviving.
What IS that?? :o

Texas Chili Cook Off
INEXPERIENCED CHILI TASTER
Notes From An Inexperienced Chili Tester Named FRANK, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the beer wagon, when the call came. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy,
and besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting - So I accepted."
Here are the scorecards from the event:
________________________________________________________________________
CHILI # 1 - MIKE'S MANIAC MOBSTER MONSTER CHILI
JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.
JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
FRANK: Holy shit, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.
________________________________________________________________________
CHILI # 2 - ARTHUR'S AFTERBURNER CHILI
JUDGE ONE: Smokey, with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.
JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
FRANK: Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.
________________________________________________________________________
CHILI # 3 - FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI
JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.
JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.
FRANK: Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting shit-faced from all the beer.
________________________________________________________________________
CHILI # 4 - BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC
JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or
other mild foods, not much of a chili.
FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burnout taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills; that 300 lb. bitch is starting to look HOT just like this nuclear waste I'm eating. Is chili an aphrodisiac?
________________________________________________________________________
CHILI # 5 - LINDA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER
JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very Impressive!
JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
FRANK: My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage; Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from a pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off? It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks!
________________________________________________________________________
CHILI # 6 - VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY
JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice
and peppers.
JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic.
Superb!
FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I shit on myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Sally. She must be kinkier than I thought. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone!
________________________________________________________________________
CHILI # 7 - SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI
JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
JUDGE TWO: Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili
peppers at the last moment. I should take note that I am worried about Judge Number 3, He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.
FRANK: You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a damn thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava-like shit to match my damn shirt. At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. Screw it, I'm not getting any
oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.
________________________________________________________________________
CHILI # 8 - Helen's Mount Saint Chili
JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili, safe for all, not too bold but spicy enough to declare it's existence.
JUDGE TWO: This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge Number 3 passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor Yank, wonder how he'd have reacted to a really hot chili?
FRANK: (Not available for comment.)

My very most all-time favorite comic strip ever in the world! I hated it when he quit drawing them, but I can appreciate why. I have a ton of the annual paperback books that my kids used to give me for Father's day, etc. Then recently, my son, who still loves me, sent me the 3-volume compendium! Whenever I begin reading them I just laugh my head off! Kinda like one of the snowmen when it loses it's head in the strip...!

The Will
Doug Smith is on his deathbed and knows the end is near.
His nurse, his wife, his daughter and 2 sons, are with him.
He asks for 2 witnesses to be present and a camcorder be in place to record his last wishes, and when all is ready he begins to speak:
?My son, "Bernie, I want you to take the Mayfair houses."
?My daughter "Sybil, you take the apartments over in the east end."
?My son, "Jamie, I want you to take the offices over in the City Centre."
?"Sarah, my dear wife, please take all the residential buildings on the banks of the river."
The nurse and witnesses are blown away as they did not realize his extensive holdings, and as Doug slips away, the nurse says, "Mrs. Smith, your husband must have been such a hard-working man to have accumulated all this property".
Sarah replies, "Property ? .... the asshole had a paper route!"
(Reuters) - Ask police in Portland, Oregon, why the chicken crossed the road, and law enforcement has no idea either.
In an unusual release, the Portland Police Bureau said officers were dispatched this week to a report of a chicken crossing a rush-hour highway in the city's Linnton district after a caller said the bird was causing a traffic hazard.
In a statement entitled in part "Officers Unable to Determine Chicken's Intent," it said police were unable to locate the bird, but that animals in the roadway were no laughing matter.
They also released audio of the tip-off, in which the caller assures a dispatcher that "this is actually not a prank call."
Police Spokesman Sergeant Pete Simpson said officers regularly tend to duck crossings, and have been known to rescue ducklings from storm drains. But he said it was the first time they had received a serious call about a chicken trying to cross a road.
Officers will remain on the lookout for the bird, he said.

An Irish Priest was transferred to Texas
Father O'Malley rose from his bed one morning. It was a fine spring day in his new west Texas mission parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside. He then noticed there was a jackass lying dead in the middle of his front lawn. He promptly called the local police station.
Sergeant Jones answered the phone, "Good morning. This is Sergeant Jones. How might I help you?"
"And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father O'Malley at St. Ann's Catholic Church. There's a jackass lying dead in me front lawn and would ye be so kind as to send a couple o'yer lads to take care of the matter?"
Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a wit and recognizing the foreign accent, thought he would have a little fun with the good father, replied, "Well now Father, it was always my impression that you people took care of the last rites!"
There was dead silence on the line for a long moment.
Father O'Malley then replied, "Aye, 'tis certainly true; but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin first, which is the reason for me call."
LOL....I've seen these too...LOL
I have never seen anything like that nor will I. I'm smart. I live in the sticks and work in a small town.

I had a Shakespeare class or two in college and my astute professor wrote a book on the jesters in the kings' court being the wise fools of Shakespeare. The comics/comedies take a look at real life from the perspective of the average person not in''power''. The jester could get away with it because s/he was humorous. Pee Wee...the consummate jester maybe?

On the first day of school, the children brought gifts for their teacher.
The supermarket manager's daughter brought the teacher a basket of assorted fruit.
The florist's son brought the teacher a bouquet of flowers.
The candy-store owner's daughter gave the teacher a pretty box of candy.
Then the liquor-store owner's son brought up a big, heavy box. The teacher lifted it up and noticed that it was leaking a little bit..
She touched a drop of the liquid with her finger and tasted it.
"Is it wine?" she guessed. "No," the boy replied.
She tasted another drop and asked, "Champagne?"
"No," said the little boy.............
"It's a puppy!"

My new job
Jennifer, a manager at Wal-Mart had the task of
hiring someone to fill a job opening.After sorting
through a stack of 20 resumes she found four people
who were equally qualified.Jennifer decided to call the
the four in and ask them only one question. Their answer
would determine which of them would get the job.
The day came and as the four sat around the
conference room table, Jennifer asked, 'What is the
fastest thing you know of?
The first man replied, 'A THOUGHT'. It
just pops into your head. There's no warning.
'That's very good!' replied Jennifer.
'And, now you sir?', she asked the second man.
'Hmmm ...let me see 'A blink'! It comes
and goes and you don't know that it ever happened
....
A
BLINK is the fastest thing I know
of.'
'Excellent!' said Jennifer. 'The blink of
an eye, that's a very popular cliche for speed.'
She thenturned to the third man, who was
contemplating his reply. 'Well, out at my
dad's ranch, you step out of the
house and on the wall there's a light switch. When
you flip that switch,way out across the pasture
the light on the barn comes on in less than an
instant. 'Yip, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I
can think of.'Jennifer
was very impressed with the third answer and thought she had
found her man.'It's hard to beat the speed of light,' she
said.
Turning to Mike, the fourth and final
man, Jennifer posed the same question.Old Louie replied,
'After hearing theprevious three answers, it's obvious to
me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA.'
'WHAT!?' said Jennifer, stunned by theresponse
....
'Oh sure', said Louie. 'You see, the other
day I wasn't feeling so good, and I ran for the
bathroom,but before I
could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THELIGHT,
I had already shit in my pants.'
He is now the new greeter at the Wal-Mart
near you!
Oh...now I get it. Coffee kicked in. ;D

Do you love your husband?
A group of women were at a seminar on how to live in a loving relationship with your husband.
The women were asked, "How many of you love your husband?"
All the women raised their hands.
Then they were asked, "When was the last time you told your husband you loved him?"
Some women answered today, a few yesterday, and some couldn't remember.
The women were then told to take out their cell phones and text their husband:
"I love you, sweetheart."
The women were then told to exchange phones with another person, and to read aloud the text message they received, in response.
Here are some of the replies:
1. Who the hell is this?
2. Eh, mother of my children, are you sick or what?
3. Yeah, and I love you too. What's up with you??
4. What now? Did you crash the car again?j
5. I don't understand what you mean?
6. What the f*** did you do now?
7. ?!?
8. Don't beat about the bush, just tell me how much you need?
9. Am I dreaming?
10. If you don't tell me who this message is actually for, someone will die.
11. I thought we agreed you wouldn't drink during the day.
12. Your mother is coming to stay with us, isn't she??

This one blows me away. I have a hard time believing that the dogs were not trained to do this. Sometimes a shelty is almost as smart as a border collie. Gorgeous Shelty. It looks like a show dog.
Hey...they got their ball...LOL.....
The black dog didn't even need training. Some dogs are so obsessed with the ball they don't care if a well trained dog grabs hold of it's tail. I know dogs. I think I'm right about this.
You are right Liz. I love high drive dogs, they're super fun to train for dog sports. Living with them can be miserable if an owner isn't dedicated to or able to keep these active, intelligent types busy.

"Green muse"
Wow, Where'd you find that?
Green Muse.....
The Green Muse is a crafty spirit that sparks inspiration in my fellow artists. A revolutionary, avant-garde, co-creator of transformation and liberation; a modern day Parisian, psychedelic ?Green Fairy?,
There's a connection of some kind with the green muse and the consumption of absinthe.
I see a broken bottle on the floor in the first picture and a glass in front of the fellow in the second picture.

Sharp eye, Pauline ;D....and yes, it's of importance to the pics theme....
..................................
...............................................
Absinthe took on legendary status in late 19th-Century Paris among bohemian artists and writers. They believed it expanded consciousness with psychedelic effects and called it "the Green Fairy" and "the Green Muse." The drink's popularity spread through Europe and to the United States. However, illness and violent episodes among drinkers gave absinthe the reputation as a dangerous drug, and it was banned in Europe and elsewhere.
In the new study, Dirk W. Lachenmeier and colleagues point out that scientists know very little about the composition of the original absinthe produced in France before that country banned the drink in 1915. Only a single study had analyzed one sample of preban absinthe. The researchers analyzed 13 samples of preban absinthe from sealed bottles -- "the first time that such a wide ranging analysis of absinthe from the preban era has been attempted," they say.
The analysis included thujone, widely regarded as the "active" ingredient in absinthe. "It is certainly at the root of absinthe's reputation as being more drug than drink," according to Lachenmeier. Thujone was blamed for "absinthe madness" and "absinthism," a collection of symptoms including hallucinations, facial contractions, numbness, and dementia.
However, the study found relatively small concentrations of thujone, amounts less than previously estimated and not sufficient to explain absinthism. Thujone levels in preban absinthe actually were about the same as those in modern absinthe, produced since 1988, when the European Union (EU) lifted its ban on absinthe production. Laboratory tests found no other compound that could explain absinthe's effects. "All things considered, nothing besides ethanol was found in the absinthes that was able to explain the syndrome of absinthism," according to Lachenmeier.
He says that scientific data cannot explain preban absinthe's reputation as a psychedelic substance. Recent historical research on absinthism concluded that the condition probably was alcoholism, Lachenmeier indicates.
"Today it seems a substantial minority of consumers want these myths to be true, even if there is no empirical evidence that they are," says Lachenmeier. "It is hoped that this paper will go some way to refute at least the first of these myths, conclusively demonstrating that the thujone content of a representative selection of preban absinthe... fell within the modern EU limit."
The study "Chemical Composition of vintage Preban Absinthe with Special Reference to Thujone, Fenchone, Pinocamphone, Methanol, Copper, and Antimony Concentrations" is scheduled for the May 14, 2008 issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

I get that! Yep, I knew a fellow once who liked to dance around while he was scraping algae of his aquarium. He would sometimes jerk this way or that in a spasmodic way until one day he hit the side of the tank with his knee. He got concerned about his spasmodic tics and went to his doctor to find out what was causing them and found out that is really was a mathematical issue........................

Good catch! Also, as the camera ''pans'' left to right, it moves from residential street to commercial looking area in what appears to be just a few feet!

Ditto, but if you watch really closely in the pan, I believe you see a sudden, non-sequitor change.
Also, any cop should realize that if his car did pick up traction and the other in front didn't, there'd be a rear-ender on his driving record. But what do I know??? ::)

Something's not right with the last part of their little "trick". Lol ;D ;D ;D
This is what i think is happening:
The two guys are on one side of the screen.
I don't think the hangers one of them is shooting are even going in the right direction.
The other guy throws a shirt up (except for the last one) and across to the other side of the screen, where the editing happens.
Shirts are the released on a string or elastic with is quickly pulled into the closet so they end up hanging up.
The two side of the screen are then edited together.
The trajectories of the all the hangers and the shirts going to the closet do not match up that well either.

How could a cat allowed access to the out of doors ever get in that condition. It's a pin head and a pin butt with this ENOUMOUS gut. Must be a neutered male.
..or a pregnant female, eh??.....look closely....looks like a lunch wagon hanging there... ???
I don't think it's a pregnant female. Wish we could ask and find out :)
And then there's cats...........sheesh LOL.. ;D

Oh no!! The price of corn around there will certainly go up.
That mistake cost the farmer a bundle. At least he has seed on the ground for next year.
The ice crystals look like flowers. It's kind of a "Lucy in the Sky" pic.
Similar to, if not, hoarfrost isn't it? A phenomenon in which the moisture in warmer air freezes to a colder surface (the rocks). I've seen this on hikes in the winter on tree limbs. Absolutely gorgeous!

Old Faithful combined with my crap satellite connection made this last one come down as a "still" for a long time. The picture is much better in a still than with the moving train. If you know how to freeze it, take a look and you'll see I'm right. The composition is beautiful. The movement detracts from what is best about it.

I like it. Pepperoni. My favorite.
East coast pepperoni is better than midwest too....
I like the colors and composition ::) The strange board with colored squares works well. The map is cool, too. It looks old but I wonder if it is old. It's a cool juxtaposition between the modern and the old. I wonder what kind of map it is.
Priceless.
Glad to see the Catholic church is loosening up a bit. :)
Must be that new pope guy.
Now if they would just stop hiding out all those Pedo Priests,they might have something there.

2 QUARTERS or a DOLLAR BILL
A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer,
'This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.'
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other,
then calls the boy over and asks, 'Which do you want, son?'
The boy takes the quarters and leaves the dollar.
'What did I tell you?' said the barber. 'That kid never learns!'
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy
coming out of the ice cream store & says ;
'Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?'
The boy licked his cone and replied, 'Because the day I take the dollar, the game's over!'
A LOVE STORY
I will seek and find you
I shall take you to bed and have my way with you
I will make you ache,shake and sweat until you moan and groan
I will make you beg for mercy and beg me to stop
I will exhaust you to the point you will be relieved when i'm finished with you
And when i'm finished, you will be weak for days
ALL MY LOVE
Signed

I know a guy who is very opinionated,even more so when he's drinking/drunk,which is most of the time.
Goes to the christmas party and starts shooting off his mouth,ALMOST gets fired,but his supervisor talks management into keeping him.
So what does he do,shows up at the New Years party and does the SAME THING.That was the end of that cushy job,where all he had to do was basically show up for work to get paid.

Most of you will appreciate this information...
The brains of older people only appear to be less speedy, because they have so much information to access, much like a full-up hard drive, scientists believe.
Elderly people have so much information in their brain that it takes longer for them to access it, scientific studies show.
Older people do not decline mentally with age. It just takes them longer to recall facts, because they have more information in their brains, research suggests.
Much like a computer takes longer as the hard drive gets full up, so to do humans take longer to access information, it has been reported.
Researchers say this slowing down it is not the same as cognitive decline.
"The human brain appears to work slower in old age," said Dr. Michael Ramscar, "but only because so much information has been stored over time. Older people simply know more, so selecting a correct choice from the trove of stored data may take a bit longer."
Put that in your "Funk and Wagnall!!"

Part two......
50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
A couple were celebrating 50 years together.
Their three kids, all very successful,
agreed to a Sunday dinner in their honor.
"Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad," gushed son number one.
'Sorry I'm running late. I had an emergency at the hospital with a patient,
you know how it is, and I didn't have time to get you a gift."
"Not to worry," said the father.
"The important thing is that we're all together today."
Son number two arrived and announced, "You and Mom look great, Dad.
I just flew in from Los Angeles between depositions
and didn't have time to shop for you."
"It's nothing," said the father.
"We're glad you were able to come."
Just then the daughter arrived. "Hello and happy anniversary!
I'm sorry, but my boss is sending me out of town
and I was really busy packing
so I didn't have time to get you anything."
After they had finished dessert, the father said,
"There's something your mother and I have wanted to tell you
for a long time. You see, we were very poor.
Despite this, we were able to send each of you to college.
Throughout the years your mother and I knew
that we loved each other very much, but
we just never found the time to get married."
The three children gasped and all said,
"You mean we're bastards?"
"Yep," said the father. "And cheap ones too."
"The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.."

Perhaps the chicken was molting and was the owner's pet? I like chickens a lot, but there are some people who have pet chickens. The pet chicken likes being a pet and will put up and even enjoy being catered to to that degree.

I saved it but I had to look up what a flash drive is :-[ I don't have that but it should work even with Old Faithful. Which of these will do the job? I have no clue. http://www.amazon.com/USB-Flash-Drives-Storage-Add-Ons/b?node=3151491 I wonder how long it is? I have a long naked wall in my office that would love it. I have good art work in my house but I need more.

You can pick up a flash drive at Walmart even....$15, or so.....it plugs into the USB port on your computer....you can copy pics/books/files, etc to it.....plug it another computer and save things there too.....it's so small that it pops in your shirt pocket......just save something to your computer, copy it to a flash drive for easy transport to another computer.....it's a good way to take pics off your home 'puter and put them on your work computer, etc...or too a developer....they can tell you how big they can make it and still be presentable.....depends on pic pixel size....
Thanks, Mug. It's somewhat embarressing to be so ignorant when it comes to things that the rest of the world just knows. I'll buy the thingy now that I know. I hope that they can make that pic about 3 1/2" long.
They can do that, but it it'll likely lose some resolution and look faded...???....they can better help advise you about how big it can be made, and still look ok......

My empowering message of the day:
It doesn't pay (in any way) to be embarrassed about what you don't know.
There is nothing wrong with that.
There is no way anyone can know everything.
The world is full of people with knowledge in particular areas that would be happy to share what they know with you.
Just ask questions until you get answers until you can make sense of things.
Another way to look at it is that we are all born with very little knowledge of things and increase that store of knowledge as we go through life learning things.
Why should this be a thing one would want to stop?
Asking questions is basic to learning.
The real tests of understanding are: whether things make sense to you, and if you can communicate them to others outside of you particular area of knowledge.
I ask lots of "stupid" questions, which people later tell me they wished they had asked.
What you said is so obviously the truth, but also very easy to forget.

For all you Grandfathers and Grandmothers, be sure you understand the question.
An 8-year-old girl went to her grandfather, who was working in the yard and asked him, "Grandpa, what is couple sex?"
The grandfather was surprised that she would ask such a question, but decided that if she's old enough to ask the question, then she's old enough to get a straight answer.
Steeling himself to leave nothing out, he proceeded to tell her all about human reproduction and the joys and responsibilities of intercourse. When he finished explaining, the little girl was looking at him with her mouth hanging open, eyes wide in amazement.
Seeing the look on her face, the grandfather asked her, "Why did you ask this question, honey?"
The little girl replied, "Grandma says that dinner will be ready in just a couple secs."

I had a young kitten when I was in grad school.
It was spring and there were a lot of ducks with ducklings in a canal a half a block away.
It ran off and came back a the next day with a bunch of duckbill-shaped tufts of fur removed.
Idiot....that got his heart going, huh?......LOLOLOL

OMG, if that ain't art I don't know what is.
Probably a fake,i don't believe anything i see now.But still cool.
I've seen so much of this type of art around over the years....even cigar store wooden indians...why would you even think it's a fake??.....curious...
Because if it can be faked it probably will be,photoshopped,trick photography,video editing,Air Brushing.
Some people are obsessed with it,either to fake you out,make false claims,or just to see if it can be done.
UFO's,Aliens,Ghosts,Bigfoot,Celebrity Fakes,Quadruple Rainbows,Angels,Fairies,etc.
Plenty of photoshop tutorials online that show you how to do it.
I don't know that's it's a fake,but i'm skeptical.The hand where the thumb sticks out looks wider then the trunk,but it could have been a branch sticking out there and the thumb was carved from it.
If it's real it's amazing craftsmanship,if it's fake they did a good job of it.Either way it's very cool.
Kinda like Greg, I couldn't decide if it was real or photo shopped. There is a lot of detail in the hand and fingers that I kept studying. Then checked if cottonwood could be chainsaw carved. After what I saw I believe it's the real deal now. I sure would have liked to run across that when we used to ride our horses in areas like that. I'd be awestruck.

It happened to me several years ago when I was already old! I was in a tight spot because the guy's wife was sitting on the other side of him. At least he was gentleman enough to let me beat the snot out of his middle body. It was much more satasfying than hitting the heavy bag. I wanted to hurt him but I couldn't because his middle was very strong. Back then I was nothing but muscle and bone. I'd been working construction as well as grooming (which folks don't know IS physical).

Another good one.
I say at least give people enough to get them thinking about you and then a bit more to decide what they think of you. I have no desire for ones who don't appreciate me. It's worked well for me so far, and I'm too old to change my ways now. My few friends are good friends. My customers are good customers. Life is so much easier that way.

LOL: His rubbing made me feel all alive and excited. I haven't felt that good in years!
DA: What happened next?
LOL: Well, by then, I was feeling really "spicy" that I just lay down and told him
"Take me, young man. Take me!"
DA: Did he take you?
LOL: Hell, no! He just yelled, "April Fool!"... And that's when I shot the little bastard!
I'd have shot him, too.

Talk about a photo-bomb! I'll bet the plow driver is STILL chuckling over that one!
It irritates the bejeebers out of me to watch the weather announcers from the streets when there is a hurricane, tornado, high winds, high waves, tremendous snowstorm, hailstorm or whatever the disaster is. The dummies stand out there in the middle of it telling us how bad it is and to stay in off the streets unless you have to get out for an emergency, and they could just as easily video the elements through a window and practice what they preach!
Ut-oh...I'm starting to rant!
And I hate it when the newscasters announce, "Coming to you LIVE from (fill in the blank) is (fill in the blank) with an on the scene update. Just once I like to see if they could ever come to us DEAD!
And how about the cheery weather-lady or weatherman acting like the good weather is brought to you by them personally? And their announcer sidekicks thank them for it! Sheesh!
And I get tired of the newscasters on the scene interviewing neighbors and families of the deceased deranged killer saying "He was such a good person. I didn't think he'd could ever do something like this". And interviewing neighbors of a victim and the neighbor goes on and on about what they THINK about the victim and how it should never have happened to them, and how they will miss him/her so much, yada, yada, yada. That's not news. And the networks should advertise it as the opinion pages.
I'm though now... thank you.... and I will now return you to your regularly scheduled forum. ;D ;D ;D
Ya gotta admit....that had to hurt a bit.......but it's still worth a chuckle....poor guy..
Yeah, a lot of broadcast news is pretty shallow.
Print can be better.
Specific issue discussion shows with multiple sides and no name calling are my favorites.

I finally figured what happened. He was afraid of his hands getting hit and folded them up at the last second. Not bright enough to be a breeder anyway ::)
Looks like fun,i would probably cut my foot off.
This is a part of the scablands of E.Washington.
It was formed about 10-13 thousand years age when the glacier dam holding back a lake of glacial melt water gave way and lead to a flow of water estimated to be equal to the combined flow of all the rivers in the world (for a few days).
The lake water was from melt from the receding glaciers over the continent at the end of the last ice age.
The same thing is also responsible more than 30 times as the glacier reformed the dam, the water built up, and then it broke again.
Boulders as big as houses were transported hundreds of miles.
The lake is called glacial lake Missoula.

"puff"..I believe that's the 40mm Gatling gun.......tracer round every 5th on the belt...it looks like a fire breathing 'dragon' when fired....a solid red line of death and destruction....most folks don't know that they have a 105mm artillary cannon mounted in the belly too... C130 going slower than jets allows awesome accuracy.....'puff' was/is a GI's friend in 'Nam'....trust me on that... ;D
https://youtu.be/uKOrpyO0z48
Dennis
Yep, good clip, thanks....there were versions after that one, including using the C130's..then modified again after 'Nam'......the C130's were where they added the 40mm Gatling's.....I believe...and later the 105mm piece.....
They first mounted the Gatling machine guns on the AC 47's, and later even added them to the first attack helicopters....now attack helicopters are a whole different animal...
here's 'Nam' version supporting troops ....we did what's called 'Eagle flights' in the Delta area....load up, hit an LZ.....short sweep to make contact, if none...move on to the next LZ, etc....if contact made...these guys were our support, as we were usually out of any artillery range....

A playful turtle.... :o Love it. ;D
Anyone know what kind of turtle it is? It's more aggressive than turtles I see around. Is it a snapper?
It does not look like a snapper to me, nor a soft shell turtle (two that are most likely to bite).
Too flat for most tortoises or box turtles.
Might be a terrapin (U of Maryland mascot; they are fast for turtles) or maybe a some kind of water turtle (the back feet look like they might be webbed, but hard to tell).
It does look like a water turtle. Flatish shell and webbed feet. Watching the video got me in the mood for Turtle soup. I think it's called Snapper soup so as not to offend the squeamish, but it's made with turtle meat, not the fish Red Snapper.
I remember hearing that there's seven kinds of meat on a snapping turtle. I ate some turtle once and didn't like it.
I've been told the same thing but I've never butchered one so I don't know. Try Bookbinders Snapper soup, Pauline. It will change your mind. I'm going to ask my Corner Market if any of their suppliers carry it. If so, they can get it for me. If not, I've found where I can buy it on line.
The woman engineer...
One day a man decided to retire...he booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship sank. He soon found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts.
After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore. In disbelief, he asks, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?"
She replies, "I rowed over from the other side of the island where I landed when my cruise ship sank."
"Amazing," he notes. "You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up with you."
"Oh, this thing?" explains the woman. " I made the boat out of some raw material I found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum tree branches. I wove the bottom from palm tree branches, and the sides and stern came from an Eucalyptus tree."
"But, where did you get the tools?"
"Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman. " On the south side of the island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I found that if I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into ductile iron and I used that to make tools and used the tools to make the hardware."
The guy is stunned.
"Let's row over to my place," she says "and I'll give you a tour." So, after a short time of rowing, she soon docks the boat at a small wharf. As the man looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat.
Before him is a long stone walk leading to a cabin and tree house.
While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck. As they walk into the house, she says casually, "It's not much, but I call it home. Please sit down."
"Would you like a drink?"
"No! No thank you," the man blurts out, still dazed. "I can't take another drop of coconut juice."
"Oh, it's not coconut juice," winks the woman. "I have a still. How would you like a Tropical Spritz?"
Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down on her couch to talk. After they exchange their individual survival stories, the woman announces, " I'm going to slip into something more comfortable. Would you like to take a shower and shave? There's a razor in the bathroom cabinet upstairs."
No longer questioning anything, the man goes upstairs into the bathroom. There, in the cabinet is a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone. Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a swivel mechanism.
"This woman is amazing," he muses. "What's next?"
When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but some small flowers on tiny vines, each strategically positioned, she smelled faintly of gardenias. She then beckons for him to sit down next to her.
"Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him, "We've both been out here for many months. You must have been lonely. When was the last time you played around? She stares into his eyes.
He can't believe what he's hearing. "You mean..." he swallows excitedly as tears start to form in his eyes,

Retired Person's Perspective
A FEW MUSINGS FROM "THE HOME"
1. I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out.
2. I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People move out of the way much faster now.
3. You can tell a lot about a woman's mood just by her hands. If they are holding a gun, she's probably pissed.
4. Gone are the days when girls cooked like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.
5. You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone you've just met? That's common sense leaving your body.
6. I don't like making plans for the day. Because then the word "premeditated" gets thrown around in the courtroom.
7. I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes 1,500 days in a row.
8. I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
9. Dear paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers. If you find one, what's your plan?
10. Everyone has a right to be stupid. Politicians just abuse the privilege.
That's funny. When the kids were young, we had a 4 foot green iguana named Murphy. He had this 4 foot X 4 foot X 2 foot cage out in the family room. Every so often he would get into it with one of the cats too.

THE STRANGER
A few years after I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then on.
As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young mind, he had a special niche. My parents were complementary instructors: Mom taught me good from evil, and Dad taught me to obey. But the stranger. He was our storyteller. He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures, mysteries and comedies.
If I wanted to know anything about politics, history or science, he always knew the answers about the past, understood the present and even seemed able to predict the future. He took my family to the first major league ball game. He made me laugh, and he made me cry. The stranger never stopped talking, but Dad didn't seem to mind.
Sometimes, Mom would get up quietly while the rest of us were shushing each other to listen to what he had to say, and she would go to the kitchen for peace and quiet. I wonder now if she ever prayed for the stranger to leave.
Dad ruled our household with certain moral convictions, but the stranger never felt obligated to honor them. Profanity, for example, was not allowed in our home - not from us, our friends or any visitors. After our long time visitor stayed longer he became more daring however, and even got away with four-letter words that burned my ears and made my dad squirm and my mother blush. My Dad didn't permit the liberal use of alcohol but the stranger encouraged us to try it on a regular basis. He made cigarettes look cool, cigars manly, and pipes distinguished. He talked freely (much too freely) about sex. His comments were sometimes blatant, sometimes suggestive, and generally embarrassing.
I now know that my early concepts about relationships were influenced strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was seldom rebuked and never asked to leave.
More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our family. He has blended right in and is not nearly as fascinating as he was at first. Still, if you could walk into my parents' den today, you would still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw his pictures. His name. We just call him TV.
Note: This should be required reading for every household. He has a wife now. We call her Computer. Their first child is Cell Phone. Their second child is I Pod.

Very very funny.
"Franz Kafka, the story goes, encountered a little girl in the park where he went walking daily. She was crying. She had lost her doll and was desolate.
Kafka offered to help her look for the doll and arranged to meet her the next day at the same spot. Unable to find the doll he composed a letter from the doll and read it to her when they met.
?Please do not mourn me, I have gone on a trip to see the world. I will write you of my adventures.? This was the beginning of many letters. When he and the little girl met he read her from these carefully composed letters the imagined adventures of the beloved doll. The little girl was comforted.
When the meetings came to an end Kafka presented her with a doll. She obviously looked different from the original doll. An attached letter explained: ?my travels have changed me? ?
Many years later, the now grown girl found a letter stuffed into an unnoticed crevice in the cherished replacement doll. In summary it said: ?every thing that you love, you will eventually lose, but in the end, love will return in a different form.?

WALKING ON THE GRASS
The room was full of pregnant women with their husbands.
The instructor said, "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier.
Just pace yourself, make plenty of stops and try to stay on a soft surface like grass or a path."
"Gentlemen, remember -- you're in this together. It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her. In fact, that shared experience would be good for you both."
The room suddenly became very quiet as the men absorbed this information.
After a few moments a man, name unknown, at the back of the room, slowly raised his hand.
"Yes?" said the Instructor.
"I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk?"
Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?
This kind of sensitivity just can't be taught.
No wonder herons like eating koi.
It's amazing how that wing went right thru the lights and didn't clip them..... :o
I wouldn't think he had the speed or altitude to pull that off. If I was them girls I would be running for dear life.

Don Featherstone did not invent Phoenicopterus ruber: Nature took care of that eons ago. But what Mr. Featherstone did nearly six decades ago ? in the process indelibly altering the landscape of midcentury America ? was to cast the creature in plastic and attach slender, rodlike legs for planting it in the ground.
Mr. Featherstone, a sculptor who died on Monday at 79, was the inventor of the pink plastic flamingo, that flagrant totem of suburban satisfaction and, in later years, postmodern irony.
He named it Phoenicopterus ruber plasticus.
Less hideous than a garden gnome, more politically correct than a lawn jockey, the plastic flamingo has been flaunted in front yards by the millions; feted in films, on television and in song; and held up as an object of impassioned pride and equally impassioned prejudice.
Mr. Featherstone had not contemplated creating an enduring emblem of kitsch in 1957, when his first flamingo sailed off the assembly line, or the next year, when the bird was brought to market. A recent art-school graduate, he was simply heeding the career advice popularly given to young people of the day:
Plastics.
Donald Featherstone was born on Jan. 25, 1936, in Worcester, Mass. He graduated from the school of the Worcester Art Museum in 1957, and that year, to the chagrin of his professors and the gratification of his creditors, he took a job with Union Products, a maker of plastic lawn ornaments in Leominster, Mass.
To sculpt his first assignment, a three-dimensional duck, Mr. Featherstone went out and bought a live one, keeping it tenderly in the sink as he copied it before releasing it in a local park.
His next assignment was a flamingo. These proved harder to come by. Working from photographs in National Geographic, he created a three-foot-high creature, typically sold as one of a pair: one bird upright, the other head down, as if grazing.
With its insouciant stance and saturated pink promise of endless summer, Mr. Featherstone?s flamingo blew his duck out of the water.
An index of its novelty that first year could be found in the Sears catalog, which offered the birds for $2.76 a pair but saw fit to include instructions: ?Place in garden, lawn, to beautify landscape.?
An index, years later, of how deeply ingrained Mr. Featherstone?s creation had become could be found in the response his wife, Nancy, often got when she told people what her husband had invented.
?Someone did that?? came the reply, as if the bird, like its flesh-and-blood antecedent, was a product of Darwinian evolution. (To anyone even vaguely acquainted with the Featherstones, the question would have been unnecessary: In an act of connubial solidarity, they wore matching outfits, handmade by Mrs. Featherstone, every day from the late 1970s onward, many of them in flamingo-patterned fabric.)
Mr. Featherstone?s bird inflamed passions pro and con. In 2009, after a debate of five minutes, the Common Council, as the city council of Madison, Wis., is known, voted 15-4 to designate the pink plastic flamingo the city?s official bird.
Elsewhere, however, some homeowners? associations banned the creature, deeming it a despoiler of property values.
But the response was far more often celebratory, as typified by the director John Waters?s ?Pink Flamingos,? the 1972 gallows comedy starring the vast drag queen Divine, or, more conventionally, ?Gnomeo & Juliet,? Disney?s animated feature of 2011, which features a pink-flamingo character, voiced by Jim Cummings, named Featherstone.
For his work, Mr. Featherstone was awarded an Ig Nobel Prize, an annual satirical award honoring outr? contributions, in 1996. That year he became the president of Union Products, serving until his retirement in 2000.
He was the author, with Tom Herzing, of a 1999 photographic book, ?The Original Pink Flamingos: Splendor on the Grass.?
Union Products ceased operations in 2006, prompting widespread fear that Phoenicopterus ruber plasticus would become extinct. But a few years later the Cado Company, of Fitchburg, Mass., acquired the rights to the Union Products line. It now manufactures many of Union?s lawn ornaments, including the flamingo. Today, a pair generally retails for $20 to $30.
Mr. Featherstone?s survivors include his wife, the former Nancy Santino, who confirmed his death, in Fitchburg, from complications of Lewy body disease, a form of dementia; a son, Harold, and daughter, Judith Nelson, both from a previous marriage; four grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
Though Mr. Featherstone designed hundreds of lawn ornaments for Union Products over time ? his wife was long partial to his ostrich ? none have exerted the cultural force of the pink flamingo. The bird may not have made him wealthy, but it made him unmistakably proud: For many years, to commemorate the date of their birth, the lawn of Mr. Featherstone?s home in Fitchburg was graced with 57 examples of his best-known creation.

I used to work in the Paramount building (1501 Broadway) in the late 70s. It was right next door to the Loew's State and right across the street from where they drop the ball on New Year's Eve. Some great memories of my time there.

Albino trees are extremely rare, as they lack chlorophyll, which gives them energy. For an albino tree to stay alive, its roots must steal nutrients from neighboring trees.
The Ostrich Wish
A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him.
The waitress asks them for their orders.
The man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to
The ostrich, "What's yours?"
"I'll have the same," says the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress returns with the order. "That will
Be $9.40 please" The man reaches into his pocket and
Pulls out the exact change for payment.
The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man
Says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke."
The ostrich says, "I'll have the same."
Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.
This becomes routine until the two enter again. "The usual?"
Asks the waitress.
"No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and
A salad," says the man.
"Same," says the ostrich.
Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, "That will be $32.62."
Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and
Places it on the table.
The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. "Excuse me,
Sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change
In your pocket every time?"
"Well," says the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the attic and
Found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered
Me two wishes. My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything,
I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money
Would always be there."
"That's brilliant!" says the waitress. "Most people would ask for a
Million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want
for as long as you live!"
"That's right..Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact
money is always there," says the man.
The waitress asks, "What's with the ostrich?"
The man sighs, pauses and answers, "My second wish was for a tall chick
with a big ass and long legs who agrees with everything I say.."

65 YEARS AGO ? On July 24, 1950, we had the first ever rocket launch at Cape Canaveral: Bumper 8 was an ambitious two-stage rocket program that topped a V-2 missile base with a WAC Corporal rocket. The upper stage was able to reach then-record altitudes of almost 400 km, which is higher than even modern Space Shuttles fly.

"Why do you keep throwing every other nail away?"
"Well, when i pull one out of my pouch, and it is facing towards the house, i nail it it. If it is facing away from the House, it is defective and i throw it away."

Which is why Ben Franklin wanted the majestic wild turkey as our national bird, not the thieving bald eagle. However, the thieving bald eagle might be more appropriate for representing our elected government today...!
I was on a boat with a friend who was trolling.
He caught a fish on a line and while he was pulling it in an eagle swooped down and snatched it way.

Nog is good friends with Jake Sisko. They frequently get into hijinx and can often be found on the promenade.
Because of his age and short stature, Nog struggles to gain the respect of Martok and the Klingons on the station.
Nog aspires to become the first Ferengi to join Starfleet, going against the Ferengi custom of trying to earn as much wealth as possible.

Dang, I'm too young. Never thought I'd say that...The alien playing the squeeze box was a cool dude, a jazz man...He must have been a married alien jazz man. He was wearing a wedding ring. Did you notice the guy in the booth wearing the ear phones? The music was good.
Do ya'all remember the early days of the Today show? When they ran out of news they said, We'll play a record now". And they did while the camera was on them shuffling papers around. We considered it normal. Remember when the stations went off the air and they would put up the network logo and the sound would be a never ending high tone? I woke up to that more than once.

All the evidence points toward them knowing that he did not have a bomb. I think that they were stupid and thought he had a bomb and didn't have a clue what they should do. At least I want to think that. I know it was Texas where some thought the president would invade ::) But If I were to believe that they didn't think he had a bomb I would loose all faith in humanity.

Industrial farming doesn't make a ton of money. Mono cropping involves insecticides, herbicides, and heavy heavy equipment. All that costs a bundle. It will work for hemp not for pot for smoking to get high. I sure wouldn't want to put something in my lungs with insecticides sprayed on it.
They grow medicinal at Mississippi state. I understand that it's grown to give not much of a high but still have benefits for folks in pain. I sure hope that they don't do it that way, but they might. I'd grow my own rather that smoke mono cropped stuff with all the herbicides and insecticides they must have to spray on it.

Lots of states that have legalized MJ now, and have farms to grow marijuana....most of those have relaxed laws on casual use too. The only thing they haven't done is regulate the chemicals used in insect and mold control. The government wants no part in it so many are turning to processes set up by the tobacco industry...which are regulated and approved safe....I tend to disagree on potency because a lot of big bucks are made from just the casual users alone. Colorado alone made over $700 million last year in revenue, Washington about $250 million....and so on.....the big dollars are flowing, and as more states go this way, it will only continue to be a money maker.....
There are manyy different strains of pot.
Some for hemp.
Some for medical.
Some for fun.
The hemp strains ones are low in psychoactive compounds.
At least some medical ones have lowered psychoactive compounds but increased compounds thoguh to have positive medical effects. Not as unfun as the hemp strains though, but some are quite strong.
Since it has been legalized, some stated have been doing chemical screens on pot, especially medical and have found cases where they were contaminated with pesticides as Liz mentioned.
Probably best to grow your own.

After looking again, it could be that too.....but the camera lens definitely goes into recovery mode from the flash....
I kinda think that the camera lens gets back to normal faster than the human eye, but it was just my guess. Now I wish I knew for sure.

Look at the color distortion in the pic after the lightening hits.....gold/amber blurred, etc.....but who knows??...
I can not figure it out.
After your hypothesis about camera refocusing, I checked out the focus at that point thinking it might be something like focusing through some kind of windshield wiper mark on the windshield. But everything seems to be in focus, from the hood to far distances, .
So I'm completely unsure.
Might be some other camera recovery effect but I don't know what.

Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretchin' 'round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest
No home no job no peace no rest
The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin' in the city aqueduct
The highway is alive tonight
Where it's headed everybody knows
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad
Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me Mom I'll be there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
Or decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."
Well the highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad

Watch one of the corners of the inner box. It moves to a different perspective as you watch it and the axis of the rotation changes. (Did I get that right?)

Beautiful! We used to get to experience that type of surprise in the woods when we rode our horses up in northern Michigan during the fall.
What type of tree is that? I like it.

Liz, THE Jerry Lewis..... from Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis .....an entertainer.....

I know who he is. I understand he was very funny in his earlier movies. I found his later stuff offensive. I suppose he was a good man. He raised a ton of money for muscular Dystrophy. They were asking for money for those kids at the supermarket a few years ago. I gave for the kids but said that I hated Jerry Lewis. The young cashier didn't even know who he was but was surprised that I said that because another of her older customers said the same things.
I do love boxing and have seen guys in the ring who didn't belong there. It used to be fun watching a young guy come up. I watched the Roach brothers from Cronk gym. One of the advantages of not having television is not being able to watch it. The head injuries you know. They should at least be able to wear head gear.

The ocean would actually be shallower. Sponges may soak up a lot of water but they still take up some room no matter how small you squeeze them to. Because they have mass, the ocean's water level rises a bit because of the mass that the sponges put in the ocean. The sponges take up space in the ocean and it makes the water rise. If you were to take out all the sponges then the water level would drop, thus making the ocean more shallow.
This is very similar to your seed question.
Yeah, now I see the similarity.

Breaking news: Michael J Fox arrested for insider sports betting![](https://stubhillnews.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/mjf-e1445445779192.jpg?w=960)
Los Angeles?Michael J Fox was arrested Wednesday morning in relation to insider sports betting on DraftKings.
Fox aroused suspicion after achieving a statistically-impossible, perfect record on the site under the username NoChicken.
Authorities found an unusually worn copy of a sports almanac which was just recently printed and which has markings cataloging winning bets Fox has placed since the late 80?s.
?The operating theory is that the Back to the Future films were really documentaries from an original, prime timeline,? said NASA astrophysicist Barry Manilow. ?The implications are heavy. It is suspected that we are living in an alternate 2015, as there are no flying cars and there are only four Jaws movies. We can only assume that we are forever stunted as a society. The amount of lives lost due to our lack of progress in technology and medicine is unfathomable. Worst of all, instead of hoverboards, this sad reality is limited to the Swagway.?
?We suspect Mr. Fox has been using an alias to hide his real identity after damaging the space time continuum,? said one source within the FBI?s TimeCrime division.
Under the name of Marty McFly, he was an accomplice to Dr. Emmett Brown in negotiation with terrorists to obtain materials to build a dangerous weapon allowing the pair to travel through time.
Dr. Brown is still on the run and ?extremely dangerous.?
?We are looking for a criminal mastermind,? said FBI director Tim Travell. ?He is extremely intelligent and capable of producing weapons of mass destruction with scarce resources. He built a highly advanced technology known as a flux capacitor in his garage.?
That is a cool post :).
Awesome little snake ;D
That sounds like an interesting story. Smart cat |^|
The dog has been injured. You can see the blood in the water and the injury on it's sides as it climbs out of the water.
Whoa, I didnt even see that blood
Looks like the red scarf that some folks put on dogs???
I looked again. It was a scarf.
I thought it was a collar. So it's not blood in the water?
UH OH !!!!
Saw a similar one once where the dog was told to "Get Down".
That one played a bass.

It's called HDR. High Dynamic Range. Takes three shots different exposures combining then tone mapping. Or use a Photoshop plugin. But you still need to have the three shots to do it right.

The Pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.
The Pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again and it won again.
The local paper read:
PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT.
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the Pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.
The next day the local paper headline read:
BISHOP SCRATCHES
PASTOR'S ASS.
This was too much for the Bishop so he ordered the Pastor to get rid of the donkey.
The Pastor decided to give it to a Nun in a nearby convent.
The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day:
NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.
The Bishop fainted.
He informed the Nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey so she sold it to a farm for $10.
The next day the paper read:
NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10
This was too much for the Bishop so he ordered the Nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where
it could run wild.
The next day the headlines read:
NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.
The Bishop was buried the next day.
The moral of the story is . . . being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery . . . even shorten your life. So be yourself and enjoy life. Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and just cover your own !!!
You'll be a lot happier and live longer!

Colorado May Have To Refund As Much As $30 Million In Pot Taxes
DENVER (AP) ? Colorado's marijuana experiment was designed to raise revenue for the state and its schools, but a state law may put some of the tax money directly into residents' pockets, causing quite a headache for lawmakers.
The state constitution limits how much tax money the state can take in before it has to give some back. That means Coloradans may each get their own cut of the $50 million in recreational pot taxes collected in the first year of legal weed. It's a situation so bizarre that it's gotten Republicans and Democrats, for once, to agree on a tax issue.
Even some pot shoppers are surprised Colorado may not keep the taxes that were promised to go toward school construction when voters legalized marijuana in 2012.
"I have no problem paying taxes if they're going to schools," said Maddy Beaumier, 25, who was visiting a dispensary near the Capitol.
But David Huff, a 50-year-old carpenter from Aurora, said taxes that add 30 percent or more to the price of pot, depending on the jurisdiction, are too steep.
"I don't care if they write me a check, or refund it in my taxes, or just give me a free joint next time I come in. The taxes are too high, and they should give it back," Huff said.
Legal weed has collided with the tax limitation movement because a 1992 voter-approved constitutional amendment called the Taxpayers' Bill of Rights requires all new taxes to go before voters.
The amendment also requires Colorado to pay back taxpayers when the state collects more than what's permitted by a formula based on inflation and population growth. Over the years, Colorado has issued refunds six times, totaling more than $3.3 billion.
Republicans and Democrats say there's no good reason to put pot taxes back into people's pockets, and state officials are scrambling to figure out how to avoid doling out the money. It may have to be settled by asking Colorado voters, for a third time, to cast a ballot on the issue and exempt pot taxes from the refund requirement.
Republicans concede that marijuana is throwing them off their usual position of wanting tax dollars returned to taxpayers. But they also tend to say that marijuana should pay for itself ? that general taxes shouldn't pay for things like increased drug education and better training for police officers to identify stoned drivers.
"I think it's appropriate that we keep the money for marijuana that the voters said that we should," said Republican Senate President Bill Cadman. His party opposes keeping other refunds based on the Taxpayers' Bill of Rights but favors a special ballot question on pot taxes.
"This is a little bit of a different animal. There's a struggle on this one," said Sen. Kevin Grantham, one of the Republican budget writers.
After legalizing marijuana in 2012, Colorado voters returned to the polls the following year and approved a 15 percent excise tax on pot for the schools and an additional 10 percent sales tax for lawmakers to spend.
Voters were told those taxes would generate about $70 million in the first year. The state now believes it will rake in about $50 million.
But because the economy is improving and other tax collections are growing faster, Colorado is obligated to give back much of what it has collected. Final numbers aren't ready, but the governor's budget writers predict the pot refunds could amount to $30.5 million, or about $7.63 per adult in Colorado.
"It's just absurd," said Democratic state Sen. Pat Steadman, one of the Legislature's budget writers.
The head-scratching extends to Colorado's marijuana industry. Several industry groups actively campaigned for the pot taxes but aren't taking a position on whether to refund them.
Mike Elliott of the Denver-based Marijuana Industry Group said it isn't pushing for lower taxes, but that's an option lawmakers don't seem to be considering. State law doesn't bar lawmakers from cutting taxes without a vote.
Lawmakers have a little time to figure out how to proceed. They'll consider pot refunds and a separate refund to taxpayers of about $137 million after receiving final tax estimates that are due in March.
When they talk about pot refunds, they'll have to figure out if the money would go to all taxpayers, or just those who bought pot. Previous refunds have generally been paid through income tax returns, but Colorado also has reduced motor vehicle fees or even reduced sales taxes on trucks.
Lawmakers seem confident that the refund mechanism won't matter because voters would approve pot taxes a third time if asked.
"This is what the voters want, and if we're going to have (pot), and the constitution says it's legal, we damn well better tax it," Steadman said.
Clarification: A Huffington Post headline has been amended to reflect that overall tax revenues, rather than a surfeit of marijuana-specific tax revenues, would trigger the refund under current law.

A 30% overall tax on weed is absurd. I could see the 15% going to the schools though.

This, this right here is why I get up in the morning. To watch funny things like this.
And I think it's lame. Tastes differ....
I wasn't talking about that kind of taste, B.
I know, like you may like jazz music while I like country music. Our likes may differ is another way of putting it. But I changed it up on you :P

While playing poker, what did the captain say to his first mate when he spilled rum all over the cards?
ARRrrgh matey, swab the deck!!!!
Asked by a reporter why the pirate wore an eye patch...he replied..
?I was out on the deck lookin? at the sea when a seagull flew overhead and its droppin?s fell clear into me eye.?
The reporter was confused. ?That?s why you wear a patch on your eye??
The Captain responded, ?Well, I?d only had me hook for a few days!?

Who is this guy and why do you post so many things about him?
I'm ashamed to admit that I have no clue either, B. Whoever he is it seems that he's saying, "What's up with this?'
It's Vincent (or Vini; really John Travolta) from Pulp Fiction.
Classic Tarantino film.
I found the movie and started to watch it. The beginning made me feel very unconformable. I don't like those people. I will try to watch it tomorrow so I can see what y'all are talking about. If I can't stand it, it won't be the first "good" movie I didn't have the stomach to tollerate.

It's very violent....not for everyone....
There was a movie I watched in a theater with my first husband many many years ago. It was called Taxi Driver, I think. I despised it. I just didn't get it, I guess. I think the husband liked it but he didn't defend it to me. The movie was good. The acting was excellent. I believe it won awards. Some things are simply not to my taste.
It's very raw and if the start upsets you, you would probably be best to quite there as it gets much worst.....
Dennis
I will not watch it. Thanks for the guidance, Dennis.

More than 550 households in Scotland are still watching television in black and white, according to TV licensing officials.
Glasgow has the largest number of black and white sets at 200, followed by Edinburgh with 55.
TV Licensing Scotland revealed the figure as it reminded viewers they need a licence, however dated the model.
Regular colour broadcasts began on BBC Two in July 1967.
Britain became the first country in Europe to offer regular programming in colour, weeks ahead of Germany.
Yet almost 10,000 black and white licences are still in force across the UK.
Collector's item
The cost of a black and white licence is ?49 compared with ?145.50 for a colour licence.
Some black and white TVs may require a colour licence if they can receive and record programmes in colour.
TV Licensing Scotland spokesman Jason Hill said: "It's astounding that more than 550 households in Scotland still watch on a black and white telly, especially now that over half of homes access TV content over the internet, on smart TVs.
"Whether you have the latest 4K TV or a black and white set from the 1970s, if you are watching or recording live television, then you do need a TV licence."
Jim McLauchlan from the Museum of Communications in Burntisland, Fife, said there are an increasing number of collectors of old black and white sets.
He said: "It is now some years since I have come across anyone using a black and white television, though the occasional person has one tucked away in their attic.
"We certainly get them donated now and then to the museum and there are an increasing number of collectors throughout the UK collecting black and white sets from as early as the 1940s onwards, with some now fetching good prices.
"In general, younger visitors to the museum show very little interest in the black and white televisions but the occasional senior visitor will comment in a nostalgic way."

A 9 year old girl is a big fan of the hobbit, so she asks for a Bilbo doll for christmas. She wakes up on christmas morning and opens the box. What lies inside? It's not what she asked for. So she asks her mom what it is. *Mommy, what is this?* She waves the dildo around in her hand. Mommy says* Oh my goodness, that's not for you!!* They continue opening presents. The mom opens her last gift, what lies inside? It's not what she asked for. So she asks her daughter *what is this?*. Her daughter says, *That's not for you!!* The daughter takes her new Bilbo doll to her room to play with it. The mother takes her new gift to her room to "play" with it also.
Santa, don't mix up the gifts!

When I was my second year in college our prof took us to the top of Mt. Rogers in SW Virginia. Except for the tree species (Black and Red Spruce there) this reminds me of my very first visit to a "Spruce Cap" on a mountain top. It was very foggy and like walking into some kind of fairy land carpeted with a thick, lush carpet of mosses everywhere.
We get some of this over in the Olympic Peninsula Northern Rain Forest here in WA.
Thanks for the photo, Mugs!
It reminded me of the Olympic forest. Trees growing on rotted trees, with moss growing on them abd plants growing on the moss. Perhaps with fungus or a slime mold growing on that.

The doctor comes in and says, "Ah, I see you've regained consciousness. Now, you probably won't remember, but you were in a huge pile-up on the freeway. You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and everything, however, your penis was severed in the accident and we couldn't find it."
The man groans, but the doctor goes on, "You have $9000 in insurance compensation coming and we now have the technology to build a new penis. They work great but they don't come cheap. It's roughly $1000 an inch."
The man perks up. So, the doctor says, "You must decide how many inches you want. But understand that you have been married for over thirty years and this is something you should discuss with your wife. If you had a five incher before and get a nine incher now she might be a bit put out. If you had a nine incher before and you decide to only invest in a five incher now, she might be disappointed. It's important that she plays a role in helping you make a decision."
The man agrees to talk it over with his wife.
The doctor comes back the next day, "So, have you spoken with your wife?"
"Yes I have," says the man.
"And has she helped you make a decision?"
"Yes" says the man.
"What is your decision?" asks the doctor
"We're getting granite counter tops."

This is Peter Freuchen. He was an arctic explorer, journalist, author and anthropologist who, during his lifetime, took a 1000-mile dogsled trip around Greenland, starred in an Oscar-winning film, wrote more than a dozen books, amputated his own gangrenous toes himself (and thereafter wore a peg leg), was involved in the Danish resistance against Germany, was imprisoned and sentenced to death by Nazis before escaping to Sweden, was friends with Jean Harlow and Mae West, won $64,000 on the TV show The $64,000 Question, and once escaped from a blizzard shelter by cutting his way out of it using a knife fashioned from his own frozen feces.

I beg to differ. I thought that it was cool. Who knows...the guy with the cups and ball could have been making money. He could have been charging $2.00 to play and given $1.00 to the winner. They do indeed walk among us and breed ::) It could have been philanthropic. He might have taken from the rich and given to the poor. We don't know. It's most likely just a set up video.

..have you ever driven across the country?....I've been privileged to have done it a bunch of times.....a couple times over and back on the old 66....we'd come over on southern 66, and return back on northern 66....the southern route was fun.....but the northern route rocks....Black Hills, Tetons, Yellowstone, Salt Lake, Reno, Lake Tahoe, veered over towards Sequoia National Park, Yosemite...then over down Pebble Beach, and comtinue down the coastal drive...101 El Camino Real..... |^|

I saw the story about that a while back. I can't remember exactly but I think that it was about how these huge stone carvings were moved to where they were wanted. If I remember correctly, they tried several times before they figured it out. And we think that we in this modern age are smart. We aren't any smarter than the ancients. We are just good a different stuff.

The Kennedy?s watching the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard...
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there."
The little boy then understood how powerful his words were. He looked up at his father and said "I hope you can forgive me father for the holes I put in you."
"Of course I can," said the father.
It's not always anger, it is your actions in general. There are no "fresh starts" in life. There is no new beginning. Forgiveness comes easy for many people but the scars of the past, they never go away. Watch what you do today, because sometimes the price isn't worth the reward.

We leave tomorrow. I don't really like being gone for 2 weeks. I got baby fish and a worm farm that all need my TLC. Stan can do okay feeding the adult fish. But the babies may starve before I get home. I think the worms will do okay with just one or two feedings.

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the
ice in
Antarctica?
Where do they go?
Wonder no more ! ! !
It is a known
fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives
an extremely
ordered and complex life. The penguin is very committed to
its family and will
mate for life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate
contact with its
offspring throughout its life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice
surface, other members of the family and social circle have
been known to dig
holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks,
until the hole is deep
enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, and buried.
The male penguins
then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:
"Freeze a jolly
good fellow."
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."

Bikini atoll...Marshall islands
The Marshall Islands are marking 60 years since the devastating US hydrogen bomb test at Bikini Atoll, with exiled islanders saying they are too fearful to ever go back because of nuclear contamination.
Part of the intense cold war nuclear arms race, the 15-megatonne Bravo test on 1 March 1954 was a thousand times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It exposed thousands in the surrounding area to radioactive fallout.
Bikini islanders and their descendants have lived in exile since they were moved for the first weapons tests in 1946. When US government scientists declared Bikini safe for resettlement some residents were allowed to return in the early 1970s. But they were removed again in 1978 after ingesting high levels of radiation from eating foods grown on the former nuclear test site.
About ten years ago I went to an old ear-nose and throat doctor for something and noticed a picture similar to the one Dennis posted on the wall.
Turns out he was a navy doctor there for many of the Bikini tests.
Sadly, he didn't seem to have a lot of interesting stories (no Godzilla etc.).

A bit too fast for me.
This is like the classic Powers of Ten (1977; some IBM guys I think):
Also goes in and out of a geographic location.
Slower, but with a narrative that explains what your seeing.
My current favorite of this genre is (I think the guys who made this were in High School):
Unsightly text rather than narration, but way more informative. Self paced. Object not geographicly organized.
Things I like about this one are: that uses more current info, and its end points are more logical:
Large Scale: the limits of the observable universe (based on speed of light and age of universe)
Small Scale: the Plank Constant (theoretical smallest distance), quantum foam, and strings (theoretical entities at the lower lower limits of distance).

Nine Facts to Remember As One Grows Older
#9 Death is the number 1 killer in the world.
#8 Life is sexually transmitted.
#7 Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
#6 Men have 2 motivations: hunger and hanky panky, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.
#5 Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.
#4 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
#3 All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
#2 In the 60's, people took LSD to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.
#1 Life is like a jar of jalopeno peppers. What you do today may be a burning issue tomorrow.
A Lost Brain Cell
Once upon a time there was a female brain cell that by mistake happened to end up in a man's head. She looked around nervously but it was all empty and quiet.
"Hello?" she cried, but no answer. "Is there anyone here?" she cried a little louder, but still no answer.
Now the female brain cell started to feel alone and scared and again she yelled: "HELLO, IS THERE ANYONE HERE!!?"
Then she heard a voice from far, far away: "Hello! We're all down here . . . "

I shall try again. It's an advertisement to Americans to visit a fancy hotel in Bejing
*Getting There: *
*Our representative will make you wait at the airport. The bus to the hotel
runs along the lake shore. Soon you will feel pleasure in passing water.
You will know that you are getting near the hotel, because you will go
round the bend. The manager will await you in the entrance hall. He always
tries to have intercourse with all new guests. **The Hotel: *
*This is a family hotel, so children are very welcome. We of course are
always pleased to accept adultery. Highly skilled nurses are available in
the evenings to put down your children. Guests are invited to conjugate in
the bar and expose themselves to others. But please note that ladies are
not allowed to have babies in the bar. We organize social games, so no
guest is ever left alone to play with them self. *
*The Restaurant: *
*Our menus have been carefully chosen to be ordinary and unexciting. At
dinner, our quartet will circulate from table to table, and fiddle with
you. *
*Your Room: *
*Every room has excellent facilities for your private parts. In winter,
every room is on heat. Each room has a balcony offering views of
outstanding obscenity! .. You will not be disturbed by traffic noise, since
the road between the hotel and the lake is used only by pederasts. **Bed: *
*Your bed has been made in accordance with local tradition. If you have any
other ideas please ring for the chambermaid. Please take advantage of her.
She will be very pleased to squash your shirts, blouses and underwear. If
asked, she will also squeeze your trousers. **Above All: *
*When you leave us at the end of your holiday, you will have no hope. You
will struggle to forget it.*
....LOL.....some place that I never had the urge to visit.....tho one of my great aunts visited there in the 50's....she had some wonderful slides made of the trip....she put on quite the travel log for us all....

That's a great effect.
It looks like movement but if you put your finger in the screen and watch the things around it, it doesn't look like anythings is really moving.
I want to figure that one out. The changes seem to involve switching the blacks and whites back and forth.
I noticed that too....it's like a strobe effect...

This one looks like a place in Oregon. One of the falls in Silver Falls Park.
for some reason i couldnt get everything on the forum here thru tapatalk. so as we sit here in sky harbor im trying to catch up.
Mugs...those photos were beautiful!
A farmer spends $15,000 on a young registered Black Angus bull to mate with his cows. He puts the bull out with the herd, but the animal just eats grass. He won?t even look at the cows. The farmer feels cheated, so he brings in the local vet to check out the bull.
The bull is very healthy, the vet explains, but possibly just a little young. So he gives the farmer pills to feed the bull once per day. It will help with the urge to mate.
After a few days, the bull starts to service a few cows, and within a week, every cow on the farm. The bull even breaks through the fence and breeds with all of the neighbor?s cows. He turns into a mating machine.
A friend of the farmer asks exactly what the vet gave the bull to cause such a drastic change.
?I don?t know exactly what was in those pills,? the farmer says. ?All I can tell you is they work and they taste like peppermint.?
A friend was working in his yard when he was startled by a late-model car that
came crashing through his hedge and ended up in his front lawn.
He rushed to help an elderly lady driver out of the car and sat her down on a lawn chair.
He said, "You appear quite elderly to be driving."
"Well, yes, I am," she replied proudly. "I'll be 97 next month, and I am now old enough,
that I don't need a driver's license anymore."
He asked "How do you know?"
"The last time I went to my doctor, he examined me and asked if I had a driver's license.
I told him, yes and handed it to him."
He took scissors out of the drawer, cut the license into pieces, and threw them in the waste basket, saying,
'You won't need this anymore.'
So I thanked him and left!

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING
IN 2016 when...
1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries...
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone,which you didn't even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic, and you turn around to go and get it .
10. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list .

lol. I'd say so too. It was the view I used to see when I flew in weekly from DCA to ORD when I was on temporary assignment in Chicago.
...both Navy Pier and the old Mieg's field on the right....and Northwestern up the lakefront a bit... 'Big John'...
I'd much prefer to work in the former than live in the latter.

I think the tabloids tried to make up a nonexistent feud years ago....they actually were quite fond of each other...as well as the rest of 'The Honeymooner's' cast....

I didn't say their was a feud. I heard Art Carney interviewed, by Terri Gross if I'm not mistaken. He said that Gelason was a quick study while Carney himself was not. He said that Gleason was a perfectionist and impatient. No feud. The man, despite his faults did great work.

Yes, Jackie could memorize his lines early the day of doing each show....he was a really bright guy....never considered that a fault tho...Art was good at improve tho.....the show was fantastic....a true classic... |^|
Only the lack of patience with "normal" people was a fault. He expected everyone to be like he was. Very very few people have the gift that he had. Everything he did was good.

Haus des Rundfunks (Radio Station), 1928-30, Berlin, Hans Pelzig)
One day two drinking buddies Jim and David were working on aircraft at the International airport in Great Falls, Montana. They got fogged in and finished up their work early and were sitting around bored.
Jim spoke up, ?Man I really need a drink!?
In response David replied, ?You know I heard a rumor you could drink jet fuel and get drunk.?
?Really?? said Jim
?That?s what I heard man. Do you wanna try it?? Said David.
?Sure, hell I?ll try anything once!? Said Jim.
So with that they poured themselves a couple of glasses and began drinking the jet fuel. They sipped a little bit to find it actually tasted quiet good. So they drank more and more and sure enough they got stoned drunk.
The next morning Jim awoke feeling like a million bucks he jumped up went to the bathroom feeling great like he was floating on air. He hadn?t felt this good in years.
?Wow!!? Jim said. About that time his telephone rang.
?Hello?? Jim said.
?Hello Jim?? Came the reply. ?This is David man. How are you feeling this morning??
Jim said, ?Man I feel great, no hang over, not sick, man I feel like a million bucks. How about you??
David replied, ?Me too man, but I have one question for you.?
Jim said, ?Sure man what is it??
?Have you farted yet man?? asked David.
Jim said, ?Ummmmm No. Why??
David said, ?Man don?t. I?m in Phoenix!
I bet he could have lit it and sent himself flying jet speed up in the air.
Moving Stuff Australian Style.

Not down my way. It's beyond me how anyone can live with that! It's been in the mid 90's here. My AC in the working area of my uninsulated shop can't keep me cool. I bought the right BTUs for the square footage but I didn't think about the old building not being insulated huh I'll take sweat over a snow storm any day.

Hopefully it won't get like that here. We only had one real snow fall last year (about 10 inches) and these folks freaked out. They don't know what real snow is here and I want it to stay that way. mim mim mim

It looks like a portable air-conditioning unit similar to one that was rented by a plant I worked at about 20 years ago when the A/C went out for a few days.

Something similar was used where I worked for air circulation and to control dust during construction.
Reminds me of the movie Brazil.
I thought that it could be air but I didn't see an intake in those big boxes. I guess they're on the top of the boxes.
Or the backside. There's a lot of big ducts there.
Buildings have rows of door sized filters.

Kievsky Station, Moscow, 1936
I went into my proctologist?s office for my first rectal exam.
His new nurse, Evelyn, took me to an examining room
And told me to get undressed and have a seat
Until the doctor could see me .
She said that he would only be a few minutes.
After putting on the gown that she gave me
I sat down
While waiting I observed
That there were three items on a stand
Next to the exam table:
A Tube of K-Y jelly,
A rubber glove
And a beer .
When the doctor finally came in I said,
?Look Doc, I?m a little confused
This is my first exam ..
I know what the K-Y is for
And I know what the glove is for,
But can you tell me what the BEER is for?
At that Doctor Paul became noticeably outraged and stormed over to the door.
He flung the door open and yelled to his nurse .. . . . . .
Darn it, Evelyn !!!
I said a BUTT LIGHT ?
..vroom vroom.....LOL

You've done nothing to deserve punishment. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You are okay thinking these cars are ugly.

I was bitchy. Not at home, I don't think but I could be wrong. At work I was quick to find fault. I was hard to work for. I was good with customers. I told a doc that I was all stressed because I had too much to do in too little time. I told her that I was no longer nice. That's when I discovered Zoloft. It made me nicer and less stressed.
I think that anyone being exposed to a menopausal woman smoke pot. It must not be an easy time for people and it lasts a long time! I remember what it was like with my mother and poor father. My father may have spent most of his time either working or drinking but he had good reason. My mother was hell on wheels even before menopause.

Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 22nd anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife, Toni. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were suppose to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety.... WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two triple-a batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. Awesome!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Toni what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-a batteries,... right?
There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, taser in another.
The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-a batteries) thinking to myself, "no possible way!" What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best..... I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, "don't do it master," reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad.... I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for the heck of it.
I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY MOTHER, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION@!@$$!% !@*!!! I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs. The cat was standing over me making meowing sounds I had never heard before, licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to herself, "do it again, do it again!" Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself. You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three second burst would be considered conservative. SON-OF-A- ... that hurt like hell!!!
A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantle of the fireplace. How did they get up there??? My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novacaine, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I'm still looking for my testicles. I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return. Still in shock...

The effects are instantaneous and can bring big people down in less than a heartbeat. I watched while the volunteers took the jolt. My vivid imagination can't picture doing it to yourself.
It'll make a good gift to his wife. I hope she likes her husband enough to ever use it on him.
I'll take dead over stupid any day.

Sitting atop steep cliffs in northwest China?s Shaanxi Province, this Taoist temple could qualify as one of the most dangerous constructions in the country. Perched on the top of Tayunshan Mountain at an altitude of 1,666 meters, the stone temple covers only 6 square meters. Despite its challenging setting, people have insisted on maintaining the temple, along with other constructions on the cliff, since it was built in 1582.
That is as it should be.

Louie's friend Joe leaned slightly to the left, so Louie told him to get his legs checked. Joe kept putting it off, but Louie kept after him.
Eventually Joe went to the doctor who found that his left leg was slightly shorter than his right. One simple operation and he was cured.
"See" said Louie. "You didn't believe me when I said a doctor could fix you leg.
Joe nodded. "I stand corrected."

Auditing Grandpa
The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.
The auditor said, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable.'
I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Grandpa. 'How about a demonstration?'
The auditor thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.'
Grandpa says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.'
The auditor thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet.'
Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor's jaw drops.
Grandpa says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.'
Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn't blind, so he takes the bet.
Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.
The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.
'Want to go double or nothing?' Grandpa asks 'I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.'
The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.
Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk.
The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win.
But Grandpa's own attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.
'Are you okay?' the auditor asks.
'Not really,' says the attorney. 'This morning, when Grandpa told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!'
I keep telling you! Don't Mess with Old People

'I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger.'
22. Two fish swim into a concrete wall.
One turns to the other and says , 'Dam!'
23. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again
that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
24. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, 'I've lost my electron.' The other says , 'Are you sure?'
The first replies, 'Yes, I'm positive.'
25. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain

OK, I think I get it. It's getting close to Christmas. Normal adults mostly suspend their logical selves and believe in a made up story. We even make up a Santa story for the kids who aren't old enough to be in to Jesus. Then we spend a bundle of money. Then we forget about Jesus until Easter when another made up story comes around.
Now that I understand what's expected of me I can say, "What a lovely picture. Look at all those bright stars on a moon lit night." You couldn't pay me enough to have it hanging on my wall :P

....it would make a nice dart board... wfwf wfwf wfwf wfwf wfwf
I don't hate it that much! If I had a dart board it would be a life size full length picture of my nemesis. (If you haven't yet notice, I'm been known to carry a grudge).
It could be a time exposure on a moon-less night in get the stars well.
I have seen a lot of similar shots to this that are done that way.
I'm kind of interested in trying some star shots.
You usually want to get some landscape in the shot too to make it more interesting.
Or it could be photoshopped together, but that seems like more work to me.
It might be that, with a fast lens. The stars are moving, so there is a limit to how long you can leave the shutter open before the stars begin to leave streaks. When I was into astrophotography I knew how long that limit was given the focal length, but I have forgotten it all. There are probably websites with calculators now.
..back in the 50's...I had a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye.....I'd put it on the picnic table, at night, for about 4hrs...pointed up, shutter open.....used to get some great pics.
..thinking about that camera I reminds me of the smell of the flash bulbs when taking pics.... huh

Birth control plan for Oak Bay deer hits snag (sic - "stag"?)

I don't suppose anyone here has been to the Texas Tavern in Roanoke, Va...This photo could be from there except there are no booths and they only have 10 bar stools. They only serve hot dogs, chile, hamburgers and soft drinks and have been there since the '30s. Their motto is "We seat 1,000 People...10 at a time"! Also referred to as "the Millionaires Club".

Brings to mind a hunting trip with my Dad and his friend Chuck. We were down at Dads cousins farm where they had black angus cattle. Chuck had a fairly new Dodge pickup with a top over the bed.
When we returned to the truck from hunting, there were all these twisted up pieces of some rubbery substance. It turned out, the top had rubber strips that covered places where rivets were used to put the top together. As it was winter and you know how salt film gets all over your vehicle.... Well the cattle had a distinct liking for the salty taste of the rubber strips. They had pulled every single one off and licked and chewed them to pieces. I found it quite humorous, Chuck was not so amused. >:(

Billy Bob and Luther were talking one afternoon when Billy Bob tells Luther, "Yaw know, I reckon I'm 'bout ready for a vacation. Only this year I'm gonna do it different. The last few years, I took your advice about where to go.
Three years ago you said to go to Hawaii. I went to Hawaii and Earlene got pregnant.
Then two years ago, you told me to go to the Bahamas, and Earlene got pregnant again.
Last year you suggested Tahiti and darned if Earlene didn't get pregnant again."
Luther asks Billy Bob, "So, what you gonna do this year that's different?"
"I'm taking Earlene with me."

Almost everyone can read it, I think. That's one reason there are so many typos in a lot of the stuff we read. The human mind assumes too much for its own good and can't pick out the defects. Of course poor English helps too.

She's single... She lives right across the street. I can see her place from my kitchen window.
I watched as she got home from work this evening. I was surprised when she walked across the street, up my driveway, and knocked on the door.
I opened the door, she looked at me and said, "I just got home, and I have this strong urge to have a good time, dance, get drunk, and get laid tonight. Are you doing anything?"
I quickly replied, "Nope, I'm free!"
"Great," she said. "Can you look after my dog?"

With $1.50 in his pocket, two changes of clothes and one dream, this is Hank Aaron leaving Mobile to join the Indy Clowns in 1952! He was 18. Last Sunday, "Hammerin' Hank" celebrated his 83nd birthday.

Normandie arriving New York August 1936
On The Front Porch
On the first day, God created the dog and said: "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this I will give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"
And God said that it was good.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span."
The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"
And God again said that it was good.
On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said "That's kind of hard to want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"
And God agreed it was good.
On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."
So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it as a public service. If you are looking for me I will be on the front porch.

The photo was created by Akiyoshi Kitaoka, a Professor of Psychology at Ritsumeikan University in Japan, who specializes in creating optical illusions (his twitter feed will blow your mind). As you can see in the tweet above, this photo has no red pixels in it, even though the strawberries pictured clearly appear red. Though plenty of twitter users tried to argue this fact, another person demonstrated that the pixels we're seeing as red are really grey (and a little green):

Yeah, Dennis, but, as you well know, that wouldn't have really supported the goals of the industrial-political-military complex...(I said with as much sarcasm and jaded thoughts as I could muster over that involvement).

International Space Station?s weird little silhouette flying across a thin sliver of visible sun.

Three person chess..
Wonder how they deal with the middle.
The swirling lines are the diagonals, which works OK, but for going straight across, you would be seem to be going from a white to a white square or a black to a black square.
Not normal chess for sure!

Shibam is often called ?the oldest skyscraper city in the world? or ?the Manhattan of the Middle East?
and ?the Chicago of the desert?. It is one of the oldest and best examples of urban planning based on
the principle of vertical construction. The city has some of the tallest mud buildings in the world, with
some of them over 30 meters (100 feet) high, thus being early high-rise apartment buildings. In order
to protect the buildings from rain and erosion, the walls must be routinely maintained by applying
fresh layers of mud. (Wikipedia)

The ?Rubens Vase? ca. 400 (Late Antique): Carved in high relief from a single piece of agate, this extraordinary vase was most
likely created in an imperial workshop for a Byzantine emperor. It made its way to France, probably carried off as treasure
after the sack of Constantinople in 1204 during the Fourth Crusade, where it passed through the hands of some of the most
renowned collectors of western Europe, including the Dukes of Anjou and King Charles V of France. In 1619, the vase was
purchased by the great Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640). A drawing that he made of it is now in Saint
Petersburg, State Hermitage Museum, inv. 5430. The subsequent fate of the vase before the 19th century is obscure.

A rich Texan has plane trouble in the Himalayas and crashes, he is saved from the wreckage by Buddhist monks who bring him back to their monastery to nurse him back to health. They feed him fish and chips, he had never tasted fries like that before and says to himself he could make a fortune back home if he got the recipe. After a week he is fit and ready to go back home. As he thanks his rescuers for saving his life he can't help himself but ask one of the brothers for the chips recipe to which the brother replies "Don't ask me I'm the fish friar, talk to the chip monk".

I changed planes once at Dallas airport, only time I ever was close, but I recognized it before I read the caption. Looks like a little city out in the middle of nowhere, perfectly flat except for the buildings.
...been through there a few times when doing bid work for the Duncanville school district....that little shuttle train around the terminal was something else....

To help save the economy, the Government will announce next month that the Immigration Department will start deporting seniors (instead of illegals) in order to lower Social Security and Medicare costs. Older people are easier to catch and will not remember how to get back home. I started to cry when I thought of you. Then it dawned on me...oh, crap.. I'll see you on the bus.

Equihen Plage, on the coast of Northern France by the English Channel, is a small seaside village with a population of about 3,000. Up until the beginning of the 20th century, Equihen Plage was a fishing village with a dry harbor?the kind where fishing boats were launched into the sea by sliding them on logs. Today, the village is famous for its many inverted boat houses?locally known as ?quilles en l'air??that serve as unique holiday accommodation for travellers.

If I keep watching this I will end up dying due to a laughing fit. Every time I watch it I see more and laugh more. The duckling was single minded from the get-go. It thought it saw a baby fish hanging down and went for it. The puppy bore no ill will toward the duck.

I often wonder what kind of ecosystem is going on under those solar panels.
They are probably making things cooler and are certainly reducing the amount of solar radiation to drive local photosynthesis, yet ther are certainly going to be things living there.

Thank you Dan for putting my feelings into more acceptable words. All I knew is that when I looked at that room it made me want to puke ;)
I can see a well-dressed Cary Grant or James Mason in that room. I must be thinking of North by Northwest... people were always impeccably dressed in Hitchcock movies.
I can see it in that context, but it's still a way ugly room.

Remorseful husband who robbed bank to escape wife is sentenced to home confinement
A remorseful 71-year-old man who robbed a Kansas City, Kan., bank last September and told police he hoped to land in prison to escape his wife told a federal judge Tuesday that heart surgery had left him depressed and unlike himself when he committed the crime.
Though Lawrence John Ripple pleaded guilty to bank robbery in January and could have spent up to 37 months in prison, his attorney and federal prosecutors asked a U.S. District Court judge for leniency. That request was supported by the vice president of the bank and the teller whom Ripple frightened, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheri Catania.
U.S. District Court Judge Carlos Murguia sentenced Ripple on Tuesday to six months of home confinement after public defender Chekasha Ramsey and Catania cited Ripple?s health issues, remorse and unlikeliness to reoffend.
Poor SOB.

This prosthetic device was made for a priest's daughter who had to have her right big toe amputated 3,000 years ago. This surprisingly lifelike toe was made to look natural by a skilled artisan who wanted to maintain the aesthetic as well as mobility during the Early Iron Age. It was designed to be worn with sandals, the footwear of choice at the time.

Is that not the coolest thing? That's how the shrub fences are maintained in England. The machine can turn around make it's blade either cut higher vertically or wack off the top where the first cut ends. I think that the local governments provide the service, but I don't know for sure.

Dennis posted that clip back when he was posting videos of motorcycle racing. The guy didn't even get hurt. He was pissed off because he lost control of his bike. Some of them crash and die or are incapacitated in some way. The race riders know the risk. I guess they wouldn't do it if it weren't for the danger of it.

Fes el Bali is the oldest walled part in the city of Fez, Morocco. With a total population of 156,000, the area is believed to be the biggest car-free urban neighborhood in the world due its narrow streets that are only two feet wide in some sections
After a Berlin man farted twice in the presence of a female officer in February last year, he was made to pay a ?900 fine. A Berlin court re-examined the case this week.
The defendant, Christoph S., had reportedly farted twice in the vicinity of a female police officer during an identity check in February 2016 in the Friedrichshain neighbourhood, the Berliner Zeitung reports.
The team leader of the 32nd police unit saw this as a form of insult against his colleague and filed a complaint against the man.
A year later a Berlin court ordered a surprised Christoph S. to pay the draconian ?900 fine.
?It is one thing if the leader of a police unit sees his colleague?s honour as being injured by a fart. But it is quite another if prosecutors and the judiciary agree - that is a failure of the state,? said Christoph S.?s lawyer at the appeal hearing on Tuesday.
The appeals judge agreed with the defendant, throwing the case out within a matter of minutes.

The Talisman of Charlemagne is also a reliquary, said to have been found on his body when his burial was opened. Charlemagne's amulet contains a relic of the "True Cross", placed between two sapphires. The amulet was buried with him in 814, but was exhumed about 200 years later by Otto III. Empress Josephine, wife of Napoleon, wore it at her coronation in 1804. Later it passed to Napoleon III, and on his death, his widow gave it to the Archbishop of Rheims.

Mt. Brown Hut on Lake Kaniere Scenic Reserve, New Zealand.
Its access tracks are a maintain-by-community initiative which was the brainchild of Eddie Newman and Julia Bradshaw. The Hut, originally Lower Arahura Hut, was built in 1962, and spent its first 50 years in the Arahura Valley. It was due to be replaced by a new Hut in 2010 and Eddie and Julia were able to persuade the Department of Conservation to allow them to relocate it on the Mt. Brown tops. The hut was dismantled in sections and flown on to Mt. Brown and reassembled on site. Four bunk beds; bookings not required ? first come, first served. Photo: Hugh van Noorden

Samuel Beckett with Alberto Giacometti in Giacometti?s studio 1961. The pair would often leave the caf?s
in the early hours of the morning to embark on long walks around the city together. During their nocturnal
rambles they frequently discussed each other?s work, although Giacometti is believed to have dominated
these conversations with his anxieties concerning his artworks. Beckett and Giacometti?s nights routinely
concluded with a visit to a brothel ? the favourite being the legendary Sphinx located behind Montparnasse
train station.

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratories and elsewhere are investigating other aspects of fire propagation, like how big fires create their own weather ? a process that has contributed to some of the most devastating fires in recent years. The setup in the photo above is known as a ?fire-whirl generator? and is used to better understand the physics of a flame.

Vivian Meier
CHICAGO (AP) ? Yawning gaps in the life story of enigmatic Chicago nanny Vivian Maier, whose gritty street photography became a sensation and the subject of an Oscar-nominated documentary only after she died, led to early depictions of her as a camera-wielding Mary Poppins who may not have fully grasped nor cultivated her raw talent.
But new research reveals the French-speaking Maier as obsessive about honing her craft starting in 1950. Within years, the self-taught Maier had so mastered photography she often took just one shot to capture streetscape images heralded by critics more than five decades later.

I think the ironic, Mona Lisa smile which often painted her face in many of her nearly countless self-portraits was because of the joke she got that no one around her understood; she knew she was that damn good. And the joke was that eventually somebody else would develop some of those rolls and discover her little secret.

Maria Reiche atop one of the ladders she used to study and map the Nazca Lines in Peru, Bruce Chatwin
The Nazca Lines in southern Peru are a group of pre-Columbian geoglyphs etched into desert sands. Covering an area of nearly 1,000 sq. kilometers, there are about 300 different figures, including animals and plants. Composed of over 10,000 lines, some of which measure 30 meters wide and stretch more than 9 kilometers, the figures are most visible from the air or nearby hilltops.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A police interrogation of a Kansas City man charged with drug and gun offenses ended prematurely when an investigator was driven from the room by the suspect's excessive flatulence.
A detective reported that when asked for his address, 24-year-old Sean Sykes Jr. "leaned to one side of his chair and released a loud fart before answering."

Walking between 2 walls of Parmigiano Reggiano in Italy
What You Missed That Day You Were Absent from Fourth Grade
Mrs. Nelson explained how to stand still and listen
to the wind, how to find meaning in pumping gas,
how peeling potatoes can be a form of prayer. She took questions
on how not to feel lost in the dark.
After lunch she distributed worksheets
that covered ways to remember your grandfather?s
voice. Then the class discussed falling asleep
without feeling you had forgotten to do something else?
something important?and how to believe
the house you wake in is your home. This prompted
Mrs. Nelson to draw a chalkboard diagram detailing
how to chant the Psalms during cigarette breaks,
and how not to squirm for sound when your own thoughts
are all you hear; also, that you have enough.
The English lesson was that I am
is a complete sentence.
And just before the afternoon bell, she made the math
equation look easy. The one that proves that hundreds of questions,
and feeling cold, and all those nights spent looking
for whatever it was you lost, and one person
add up to something.

The Hanging Monastery, Andrea Cavallini: The Hanging Monastery is a temple built into a cliff near
Datong, China. Built more than 1,500 years ago, this temple is notable not only for its location on a
sheer precipice but also because it includes Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian elements. The
structure is kept in place with oak crossbeams fitted into holes chiseled into the cliffs.

YORK, Neb. — An elderly couple who was arrested in Nebraska with 60 pounds of marijuana in their truck told officers that the drugs were meant to be Christmas presents.
The York News-Times reports the couple were arrested Tuesday by the York County Sheriff's Department after they were stopped for a traffic violation.
Officers found the bags of marijuana in the Toyota Tacoma driven by the 80-year-old man and 83-year-old woman. They said they were driving from California to Vermont.
The couple was being held in York County jail on suspicion of felony drug charges.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL....Mr. and Mrs Claus huh huh huh huh huh
Ticket
Two Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on I-15, just north of Oceanside, San Diego, California.
One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill. The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour and climbing.
The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then it suddenly turned off.
Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near this, its home base location.
Back at the California Highway Patrol Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the US Marine Corps. Base Commander for shutting down his equipment.
The reply came back in true USMC style:
'Thank you for your letter.
You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to, your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down.
Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to your equipment location.
Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position.
The pilot suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them, since the video systems on these jets are very high tech.
Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar. It appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his holster. '

A few years back, near the intersections of State Route 68 and Interstate 70, a tire came off a semi. One of the drivers behind the truck that lost the tire radioed and told the guy a tire had come off his rig. It was night and he pulled over to check the truck. When he jumped down from the truck the tire hit him and killed him. Talk about a freak accident.....

Sometimes things are so freaky I wonder if they are not somehow predestined. Nothing is as strange as real life.

How Meteorology works
It's late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.
But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, 'Is the coming winter going to be cold?'
'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,' the meteorologist at the weather service responded.
So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.
A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. 'Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?'
'Yes,' the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'it's going to be a very cold winter.'
The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.
Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again. 'Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?'
'Absolutely,' the man replied. 'It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever seen.'
'How can you be so sure?' the chief asked.
The weatherman replied, 'The Indians are collecting a shitload of firewood'

A man in a Florida supermarket tries to buy half a head of lettuce.
Greenhouse the very young produce assistant tells him that they sell only whole heads of lettuce.
The man persists and asks to see the manager.
The boy says he'll ask his manager about it.
Walking into the back room, Greenhouse said to his manager, 'Some asshole wants to buy half a head of lettuce.'
As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, 'And this gentleman has kindly offered to buy the other half.'
The manager approved the deal, and the man went on his way.
Later the manager said to Greenhouse, 'I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier.
We like people who think on their feet here. Where are you from, son?'
Canada, sir,' Greenhouse replied.
'Well, why did you leave Canada?' the manager asked.
The boy said, 'Sir, there's nothing but whores and hockey players up there.'
'Really?' said the manager. 'My wife is from Canada.'
'No shit?' replied Greenhouse. 'Who'd she play for?'

My wife and I live in an assisted living centre and we have a small apartment but we all eat at a central cafeteria. One morning one of the residents didn't show up for breakfast so my wife went upstairs and knocked on his door to see if everything was OK. She could hear him through the door and he said that he was running late and would be down shortly so she went back to the dining area. An hour later he still hadn't arrived so she went back up towards his room and she found him on the stairs. He was coming down the stairs but was having a hell of time. He had a death grip on the hand rail and seemed to have trouble getting his legs to work right. She told him she was going to call an ambulance but he told her no, he wasn't in any pain and just wanted to have his breakfast. So she helped him the rest of the way down the stairs and he had his breakfast. When he tried to return to his room he was completely unable to get up even the first step so they called an ambulance for him. A couple of hours later she called the hospital to see how he was doing. The receptionist there said he was fine, he just had both of his legs in one leg of his boxer shorts.

I don't know if there are still people who maintain that photography cannot be art. If so this once and for all proves them wrong.

Just Ordering a Pizza!!!!!
CALLER:
Is this Gino's Pizza?
GOOGLE:
No sir, it's Google Pizza.
CALLER:
I must have dialed a wrong number. Sorry.
GOOGLE:
No sir, Google bought Gino's Pizza last month.
CALLER:
OK. I would like to order a pizza.
GOOGLE:
Do you want your usual, sir?
CALLER:
My usual? You know me?
GOOGLE:
According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meatballs on a thick crust.
CALLER:
OK! That's what I want
GOOGLE:
May I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten-free thin crust?
CALLER:
What? I detest vegetable pizza.
GOOGLE:
Your cholesterol is not good, sir.
CALLER:
How the hell do you know!
GOOGLE:
Well, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records. We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years.
CALLER:
Okay, but I do not want your rotten vegetable pizza! I already take medication for my cholesterol.
GOOGLE: Excuse me sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly. According to our database, you only purchased a box of 30 cholesterol tablets once, at Drug RX Network, 4 months ago.
CALLER:
I bought more from another drugstore.
GOOGLE:
That doesn't show on your credit card statement.
CALLER:
I paid in cash.
GOOGLE:
But you did not withdraw enough cash according to your bank statement.
CALLER:
I have other sources of cash.
GOOGLE: That doesn't show on your last tax return unless you bought them using an undeclared income source, which is against the law.
CALLER:
WHAT THE HELL!!!
GOOGLE:
I'm sorry, sir, we use such information only with the sole intention of helping you.
CALLER:
Enough already! I'm sick to death of Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and all the others. I'm going to an island without internet, cable TV, where there is no cell phone service and no one to watch me or spy on me.
GOOGLE:
I understand sir, but you need to renew your passport first. It expired 6 weeks ago.

Monument Valley, 2014, Mitch Dobrowner
The only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon "quickie" with their 8-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Popsicle and tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities.
"There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he shouted.
He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation:
"An ambulance just drove by!"
"Looks like the Andersons have company," he called out.
"Matt's riding a new bike!"
"Looks like the Sanders are moving!
"Jason is on his skate board!"
After a few moments he announced, "The Coopers are having sex!!"
Startled, his mother and dad shot up in bed. Dad cautiously called out, "How do you know they're having sex?"
"Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a Popsicle."
oops..... huh

How seagulls, pepperoni got Dartmouth man banned from posh B.C. hotel
The Fairmont Empress in Victoria lifted 17-year ban against Nick Burchill
The Fairmont Empress in Victoria has lifted its ban against Nick Burchill — 17 years after dozens of seagulls trashed the Dartmouth, N.S., man's hotel room while feasting on enough pepperoni to fill his suitcase.
"I didn't like the feeling of being banned from somewhere," Burchill said. "So when I was out there last week for a different conference, I thought that I would approach The Empress and see if I could officially get my record cleared."
Burchill's story began with good intentions. He was taking a small suitcase full of Brothers Pepperoni — a widely requested Halifax delicacy — to some of his navy friends in the B.C. capital.
"It was a long flight, that time of the year where everyone travels, so the bag got lost, misplaced for a period of time," said Burchill, who wrote a widely shared Facebook post about the ordeal.
When the pepperoni finally arrived at the hotel, Burchill said he worried it would get warm because there was no fridge, so he laid the food out on a table near the window ledge and the chilly April air.
"And that's when things kind of went bad," said Burchill.
'The seagulls were flying everywhere'
Burchill left the room for a few hours to take a walk. He returned to a room full of seagulls.
"I don't mean just a couple of seagulls. I can only estimate how many there were," he said. "I'm thinking somewhere between 30 and 40 seagulls had come in through this open window while I was gone.
"And I would have never thought of that because the East Coast seagulls aren't that brazen. They'd never come into a room or do that sort of thing — at least I don't think they would."

A couple made a deal that whoever died first would
come back and inform the other if there is sex after death.
Their biggest fear was that there was no after life at all.
After a long life together, the husband was the first
to die. True to his word, he made the first contact: "Marion
, Marion."
"Is that you, Bob?"
"Yes, I've come back like we agreed."
"That's wonderful! What's it like?"
"Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have
breakfast and then it's off to the golf course. I have sex
again, bathe in the warm sun and then have sex a couple of
more times.. Then I have lunch (you'd be proud -- lots of
greens). Another romp around the golf course, then pretty
much have sex the rest of the afternoon. After supper, it's
back to golf course again. Then it's more sex until late at
night. I catch some much needed sleep and then the next day
it starts all over again".
"Oh, Bob! Are you in Heaven?"
"No -- I'm a rabbit somewhere in Arizona."

It was a blast. I used to design the motherboards for those types of displays. I really enjoyed the work, something different every day. Great company and great people to work with (well mostly). It took a while to convince myself to finally retire.

A woman decides to have a face lift for her 50th birthday.
She spends $15,000 and feels pretty good about the results.
On her way home, she stops at a news stand to buy a newspaper.
Before leaving, she says to the clerk,
'I hope you don't mind my asking, but how old do you think I am?".
'About 32,' is the reply.'
'Nope! I'm exactly 50,' the woman says happily.
A little while later she goes into McDonald's and asks the counter girl the very same question.
The girl replies, 'I'd guess about 29.'
The woman replies with a big smile, 'Nope, I'm 50.'
Now she's feeling really good about herself.
She stops at a candy shop on her way down the street.
She goes up to the counter to get some mints and asks the assistant the same burning question.
The clerk responds, 'Oh, I'd say 30.'
Again she proudly responds, 'I'm 50, but thank you!'
While waiting for the bus to go home, she asks an old man waiting next to her the same question.
He replies, 'Lady, I'm 78 and my eyesight is going.
Although, when I was young there was a sure-fire way to tell how old a woman was.
It sounds very forward, but it requires you to let me put my hands under your bra.
Then, and only then I can tell you EXACTLY how old you are.'
They wait in silence on the empty street until her curiosity gets the better of her.
She finally blurts out, 'What the hell, go ahead.'
He slips both of his hands under her blouse and begins to feel around very slowly and carefully.
He bounces and weighs each breast and he gently pinches each nipple.
He pushes her breasts together and rubs them against each other.
After a couple of minutes of this, she says, 'Okay, okay...How old am I?'
He completes one last squeeze of her breasts, removes his hands, and says,
'Madam, you are 50.'
Stunned and amazed, the woman says, 'That was incredible, how could you tell?'
'I was behind you at McDonalds'

Interesting.
I first saw this a couple of weeks ago as an add for the Greater Portland Aquarium Soc (GPAS) advertizing their plant sail.
Both those guys are in GPAS as I understand.
The words were something like
I want some plants for my aquarium
Gpas plant sale this weekend
I'm gonna get some for my tank!
yadda,yadda yadda...
I pretty sure that they were both from the 'American Chopper'....

An Emergency Call Center worker has been fired in Toronto, Ontario, much to the dismay of her colleagues, who are reportedly unhappy with her dismissal.
It seems that a caller dialed 911 from a cell phone stating,
"I am depressed and lying on a railway line so that when the train comes I can finally meet Allah."
To which the call center employee replied,
"Remain calm and stay on the line."
Catholic Hair Dryer
In Catholic schools students are taught that lying is a sin .
Instructors are also advised that a bit of imagination is OK to express the truth differently without lying.
This is a perfect example of this teaching:
Getting a hairdryer through customs ...
An attractive young woman on a flight from Ireland asked the priest beside her,
'Father, may I ask a favor of you?'
'Of course child. What can I do for you?'
'I bought my mother an expensive hair dryer for her birthday.
It is unopened but well over the customs limits and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it.
Is there any way you could carry it through customs for me?
Could you possibly hide it under your robes for me?'
'I would love to help you my dear; but, I must warn you, I will not lie!'
'With your honest face, Father, I'm sure no one will question you!'
When they got to customs, she let the priest go first. The official asked,
'Father, do you have anything to declare?'
'From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare'
The official thought this answer a little strange, so he asked,
'And what do you have to declare from your waist down to the floor?'
'I have a marvelous instrument that has been designed for use on women, but which, to date, remains unused.'

1. F***ing once a week is good for your health but harmful if done every day.
2. F***ing gives proper relaxation for your mind and body.
3. F***ing refreshes you.
4. After f***ing don't eat too much; go for more liquids.
5. Try to do f***ing in bed because it can save you valuable energy.
6. F***ing can even reduce your cholesterol level.
So remember - Fasting is good for your health - and may God cleanse your Dirty Mind!

Wim Wenders
The coach had put together the perfect team for the Chicago Bears. The only thing that was missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges and even the Canadian and European Leagues, but he couldn't find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl win.
Then one night while watching CNN he saw a war-zone scene in the West Bank . In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Israeli soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand-grenade straight into a 15th story window 100 yards away.
KABOOM!
He threw another hand-grenade 75 yards away, right into a chimney.
KA-BLOOEY!
Then he threw another at a passing car going 90 mph.
BULLS-EYE!
"I've got to get this guy!" Coach said to himself. "He has the perfect arm!"
So, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football. And the Bears go on to win the Super Bowl.
The young man is hailed as the great hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man wants is to call his mother.
"Mom," he says into the phone, "I just won the Super Bowl!"
"I don't want to talk to you, the old woman says."You are no longer my son!"
"I don't think you understand, Mother," the young man pleads. "I've won the greatest sporting event in the world. I'm here among thousands of my adoring fans."
"No! Let me tell you!" his mother retorts. "At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn't get raped!" The old lady pauses, and then tearfully says,
"I will never forgive you for making us move to Chicago!"

Positive Attitude
"Life is not the way it's supposed to be - it's the way it is.
The way you cope with it is what makes the difference."
A guy was in a horrible accident.
He finally regained consciousness.
He was in a hospital, in a lot of pain.
He found himself in the ICU with IV drips in both arms, an oxygen mask,
wires monitoring every function and a nurse hovering over him, looking worried.
It was obvious he was in a life-threatening situation.
The nurse gave him a serious look, straight into his eyes.
She spoke to him softly and slowly, enunciating each word: "You may not feel anything from the waist down."
Somehow he managed to mumble in reply, "Can I feel your boobs, then?"
And that, my friends, is a real positive attitude.

...wow..look at his body change shape !...
Medicare Part G
You are an older senior citizen and you can no longer take care of yourself and need Long Term Care, but the government says there is no Nursing Home care available for you, what do you do?
You may opt for Medicare Part G.
The plan gives anyone 75 or older a gun (Part G for gun) and one bullet. You may then shoot one worthless politician. This means you will be sent to prison for the rest of your life where you will receive three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating and air conditioning, cable TV, a library, and all the health care you need. Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That's great. Need a hearing aid, new hip, knees, kidney, lungs, sex change, or heart? They are all covered! As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you at least as often as they do now!
And, who is paying for all of this? The same government that just told you they can't afford for you to go into a nursing home. And you will get rid of a useless politician while you are at it. And now, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay taxes.
Is this a great country or what?
Now that you have solved your senior Long-Term Care problem, enjoy the rest of the week!
I have decided to do myself in when I can no longer do for myself and my animals. When I am forced to retire I will think of it more seriously. For now it's the plan if worse comes to worst.

In astronomy, an analemma is a diagram showing the variation of the position of the Sun in the sky over the
course of a year, as viewed at a fixed time of day and from a fixed location on the Earth.
An astronaut aboard the International Space Station shot this photograph of the Green River flowing through deep, red rock canyons in eastern Utah. A main tributary of the Colorado River, the Green flows 730 miles (1,175 kilometers) through Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. The portion of the Green River in this image is just north of Canyonlands National Park.
Bowknot Bend was named for the way the river loops back on itself. Located in Labyrinth Canyon about 25 miles west of Moab, Utah, this river bend runs 7.5 miles (12 kilometers) in a circular loop and ends up 1,200 feet (360 meters) from where it first started.

Fantasy Fair, Mill Valley, 1967 (Summer of Love), Elaine Mayes
...I really like this one....... |^|
Red Shirt
Seems there was a treasure ship on its way back to port. About
halfway there, it was approached by a pirate, skull and crossbones waving
in the breeze!
"Captain, captain, what do we do?" asked the first mate.
"First mate," said the captain, "go to my cabin, open my sea
chest, and bring me my red shirt." The first mate did so.
Wearing his bright red shirt, the captain exhorted his crew to
fight. So inspiring was he, in fact, that the pirate ship was repelled
without casualties.
A few days later, the ship was again approached, this time by two
pirate sloops!
"Captain, captain, what should we do?"
"First mate, bring me my red shirt!"
The crew, emboldened by their fearless captain, fought heroically, and
managed to defeat both boarding parties, though they took many
casualties. That night, the survivors had a great celebration. The
first mate asked the captain the secret of his bright red shirt.
"It's simple, first mate. If I am wounded, the blood does not
show, and the crew continues to fight without fear."
A week passed, and they were nearing their home port, when
suddenly the lookout cried that ten ships of the enemy's armada were
approaching!
"Captain, captain, we're in terrible trouble, what do we do?"
The first mate looked expectantly at the miracle worker.
Pale with fear, the captain commanded, "First mate.... bring me my
brown pants!"
...I could do this..... |^|

Shoot for last year's Christmas card.
A dwarf with a lisp goes into a stud farm, 'I'd like to buy a horth' he says to the owner of the farm.
'What sort of horse?' said the owner.
'A female horth' the dwarf replies. So the owner shows him a mare.
'Nithe horth.' says the dwarf, 'Can I thee her eyeth?'
So the owner picks up the dwarf to show him the horses eyes.
'Nithe eyeth.', says the dwarf, 'Can I thee her teeth?'
Again the owner picks up the dwarf to show him the horses teeth.
Nithe teeth.... Can I see her eerth?' the dwarf says.
The owner is getting fed up but again picks up the dwarf to show him the horses ears.
'Nithe eerth.' He says, 'Now...can I see her twot?'
With this the owner picks the dwarf up by the scruff of his neck and shoves his head deep inside the horse's vagina.
He holds him there for a couple of seconds before pulling him out and putting him down.
The dwarf shakes his head and says:
'Perhaps I should weefwaze that. Can I see her wun awound?
What started as a joke ended with the future of two altar boys from Spain. They were detained overnight, after having surprised them putting weed in the censer-burner of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
The censer-burner is used the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela to celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord. Several assistants stated that in this occasion the holy precinct was suddenly covered in an odd smell "it did not smell as always, it was a familiar smell but I could not relate it to anything, but in my son's bedroom sometimes smell like that".
Following the Mass, these altar boys were arrested by the police after confirming that the strange smell was correspond to marijuana, "it was a joke, the idea came during the Christmas Eve mass, we bought no more than half a kilo of Mary Jane and we drop it inside the censer-burner, we are sure that people has left of the Cathedral happier more than ever".

That is the coolest looking dog I have ever seen in my almost 68 years. I'll bet a nickle that I'm the only one here who knows what it has in it's mouth.
It looks like an Australian Dingo with a tranquilizer dart in its mouth.
I didn't know that was a Dingo. I understand that they're terrible dogs. Sure do look cool though.
You're right about the dart. Where shall I send the nickel?
Looks like an African Wild Dog to me:

Yeah, I looked at pics Australian Dingo's and this dog looked like none of them. Those ears...I adore them. I understand that Hyena's are even worse than Dingo's. I'm going to look at pics of Hyenas now.
You nailed that part, Mug. It's is most obviously a Spotted Hyena. I can understand how people can think of them as ugly. I think that they are beautiful. I sure wouldn't want one. They are very efficient predators.

After their 11th child, a Kentucky couple decided that was enough, as they could not afford a larger bed. So, the husband went to his veterinarian and told him that he and his cousin didn't want to have any more children.
The doctor told him that there was a procedure called a vasectomy that could fix the problem but that it was expensive. 'A less costly alternative,' said the doctor, 'is to go home, get a cherry bomb, (fireworks are legal in Kentucky) light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to your ear and count to 10.
The Kentuckian said to the doctor, 'I may not be the smartest tool in the shed, but I don't see how putting a cherry bomb in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me. ''Trust me,' said the doctor.
So, the man went home, lit a cherry bomb and put it in a beer can. He held the can up to his ear and began to count! "1" "2" "3" "4" "5," at which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs and continued counting on his other hand.
This procedure also works in Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Parts of Georgia, Missouri, West Virginia, and all of Washington DC.
