  1. Yes, LOVED IT !
  2. While taking a leak, sign your name on the street outside her house, Ingvar - be a VIKING MALE you wussy! And don't forget to tell Yola where she can sit.
  3. One of those "how do you like your wimmen questions"?
  4. Lackawanna - the land down under! BTW: I think the prompt should be "Press 1 if you do NOT speak English". Happy New Year, Sweetie.
  5. I have to admit that I read it a couple times before I decided whether or not to take offense. I decided not to let it bother me. Keep in mind I have four children (one daughter is a teacher and another daughter home schooled three of her children until grade five) and my wife has run a NY certified home daycare for almost 25 years, so I have a little experience with children too. The more I think I know, the more ignorant I prove to be.
  6. My daughter is in education too. It is discouraging to hear about the resistance she faces when trying to educate her students - from the students, other teachers, parents, and administrators. I am very happy that your wife is one of the truly dedicated ones, not one who just likes the holidays, summer vacation and pension plan. Tell her that as a student, parent (and now grandparent), I appreciate what she is doing. I have observed teachers who were fantastic and I have observed school superintendents making $125K a year (10 years ago) whose idea of a commencement address was to simply read essays by Irma Bombeck and Kurt Vonnegut, instead of contributing something original and personal to "fire up" the graduates. I have observed children with ADD type behavior, where one required medical attention and another just needed to learn "no means no". The parents had not communicated that effectively. I am ignorant about a lot of things. Aren't we all? I just posted a link to one train of thought I found interesting. Anyway, plenzmd1 - I hope things continue to work so well for your boy. Children are such a blessing, we take them for granted sometimes. Happy New Year!
  7. I do not know what it is "refereeing to". It's a put on, as the Who would say. A facade. In the song it is about people coming to the party dressed to kill. Everything must be fine because DAMN look at the dress on her! People hide behind their problems by covering them up with something impressive. Townsend was talking about the cocaine and glam of the early 80's that people used like spackle on a hole in the wall. In the case of my book/beer bottle coaster, the book could be there just for show, as LA said - really just need the beer. "Damn Rockpile must be smart - he is reading a book!" heh <ding> gotta go!
  8. The book is to absorb the moisture from the bottle, preventing damage to the end table; basically a coaster with an eminence front!
  9. I am an anarchist. I do not have to do anything except pay taxes. THAT could take five pages to explain.
  10. I think a lot of people are attracted to it as a distraction from their own dysfunctional lives. With a wife, two MILs, a son, three point five daughters, an SIL, and 5 grand kids I have enough drama already. Give me a beer and a book any day.
  11. [rhetorical] means he is asking and answering his own question. Darin IS kind of a dumb fvck though !
  12. Why don't you post the link for the nice people?
  13. I do not hold many grudges againt the Bills. I am disappointed that I can only remember OJ in a negative way. As far as other grudges? I still occasionally scan the obits, hoping my ex-wife is listed.
  14. I never stand with my back to a guy named Buford.
  15. Hey Sid! Have a great day!
  16. At the Miami game, everyone in section 123 stood up the entire second half. I think that was the Rochester section.
  17. I will have to dig thru my archives, I think I have her "first appearance" (FF 160-something) The other Nova was lame.
  18. Cool. What about the Watcher?
  19. Oooh! Fried eggs!
  20. Lana, know your limits!
  21. I agree the first FF was pretty bad. Being a geek I had to wonder: When did the Surfer get the power to pass through solid matter, without destroying it, that is? Will Galactus be on his way soon? The Silver Surfer is just the "herald", after all.
  22. mostly touch football and street hockey...
  23. At one point does it matter to you? Five Ten Fifty? My wife has gotten in great shape in the past year or two, but I loved her as much when she had a big ass and a mullett! (kids will do it!) I could stand to lose 15 pounds and she let me know. Gotta lay of the
