Responding or chatting in the Shoutbox with @ExiledInIllinois is kinda like playing a video game. It takes awhile, his jabs are harmless and, in the end, you can laugh at your success. Most of us keep score and I think I am high scorer for the month of July. 

Look who's talking!

 

[That was a jab, score one from home if you are counting]

i've never driven a stick shift.  have zero idea how to.  my mom made fun of me for this recently.

Only 7% of Drivers today can... From what I heard.  Not sure how true that is.  ??

 

So... Doesn't count.  Most drivers today can't, or won't.

 

From your Mom?  Sheesh! ?

that makes me feel somewhat better.  I've never had a car with a stick, so just never learned.  I think my mom's specific comment was something like, "how does a man your age not know how to drive a stick?".

And most people should probably practice using a fire extinguisher.  The small ones (10# or less) empty before you know it!!!!

 

Base of fire, sweeping motion.  You only got one chance if thats the only fire extinguisher. Make it count!!!

 

When we get new ones @ work, refreshed fire extinguishers... We take old ones, or sketchy ones and practice on a fire (of course a fire).

 

But really... It helps...

 

 

You really need your own You Tube channel.

Hmmmm. Maybe you should spice it up a bit. Pay some hookers to visit your patch of grass.

Prairie weeds, thank you!  We prefer prairie weeds. 

 

The Big Guy gets wind they spent 5k on prairie weed seeds, he may not be happy.  Oh wait, you said hookers.  Any chance Russian?  He may drop by... We don't want that.

Does she shoulder none of the blame? She raised you, after all.

This one may not be popular, but I have never gotten a massage.  Well at least one I paid for.  

Same here. I've never been one for massages. I don't get back/muscle pain, though.

Played softball until I was 59, but never been to a major league baseball game. Plenty of 3A but no major league.

Never been married.

Don't know where the "never" is in this one, but Mom's 99, Dad's 100, both still live in the house my brother's I were brought up in. Don't think many can say that.

Never smoked a cigarette. I didn't need to, I lived with a couple heavy smokers.

Never left the continent. Been to Canada, but not Mexico.

Never gone fishing.

Never gone skiing.

Never fired a gun.

Never seen "Caddyshack" or "Blazing Saddles". I'm going to take major heat for this. Despite being a movie fan, there are plenty of movies I've never seen.

Never seen "Game of Thrones", Breaking Bad", or "Walking Dead". Not that I don't want to, just haven't gotten around to it.

Never read a single Harry Potter book, but I've seen the movies. I'm not a big reader anyway.

Never been to Buffalo, New Era/The Ralph/Rich Stadium for a game, or Hammer's Lot. But that all changes in September. :)

Log off TBD, and don't come back until you've watched both of these. @Canadian Bills Fan, please give him a two day ban for his own good.

Como Mall. Como 6. When Star Wars came out, 1977.  Remember the arcade?

 

When (year) did Dubel's build/move to behind Como Mall from W.Seneca? They used to be in that building where the Beauty Supply (was Kaiser's) is, next to Picasso's... Across from Dunn Tire (which was Cotrell Ford)... Next to M&T Bank was another supermarket: "Harvest the Best."  Nothing ever went in there, building still stands I think.

Dubel's was there as early as 1973,I think it was a Loblaw's before that.I wasn't a game player,so I never spent time in the Como and Thruway Mall arcades...but sure,I remember them.The Harvest the Best store doesn't ring a bell for me.

I'm oddly attracted to your mom right now.

she's married to my dad, but you'd have to ask her if she's happily married.

Never read "Catcher in the Rye."

 

most overrated pile of trash, or at least one of them.... never saw even 1% of the hype surrounding it, nor from anything else he wrote.

Whoah, this is heavy.

 

There are a lot of famous movies I've never seen. Casablanca, Vertigo, The Maltese Falcon, Citizen Kane, North By Northwest. Just to name a few of the big ones.

Jeebus...I’m not sure if I’d be happy or terrified to meet you in person.

 

Have you ever thrown a Chihuahua off the roof of the projects?

 

Have you ever broke a Puerto Rican dude’s leg for sweatpant money?

Ummm do the kids know about your extracurricular activities. ?

Never broken a bone (other than my nose in a fight, but nothing that required a cast)

Never had stitches (should have had them a few times)

 

 

 

 

You got hit in the nose because you dropped your fists..never do that.The Marines have a name for a fist fight...Dancing.Keep your shoulders square to your enemy..throw a punch in a quick fashion,rebound,fist/arm retraction is important.There are ways to cause damage to your opponent without blood flow loss.

I've never seen a Bogart movie or Psycho. Until recently, I hadn't seen Citizen Kane, but my son had to watch it for a film class last year so we watched it together. I realize that movies have to be taken in the context of their times, but I really didn't enjoy it. In general I like cerebral movies, but this one just didn't click for me.
