Longest Running Thread EVER

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

 

Arachnoleptic Fit

(n.) The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

 

 

That's one of those things that just cracks people up when they see me doin' it. Something about being 6'3" & 285 lbs, emitting a high-pitched little squeak and swatting at tenuous threads.

 

Oh, and hiccups. Me with the hiccups gives my girlfriend the giggles. It's not pretty.

 

And the pee-pee dance when you can't get your key in the front door, but that's a different thread.... :straight:

Heading out in a bit to shoot the kimber, probably also a Marlin 1895 Cowboy in .45-70 and a Marlin 1895 G in .444 marlin.

 

that reminds me, in the first Mack Bolan book I ever read, He used a .444 as a "precision rifle" some are accurate, but they are NOT intended for long range...

I don't think Mack was really going for precision as much as raw horsepower.

 

Remember, he was shooting from only 100 yards, and he wanted to do some real damage. Also, the lever action was the fastest thing around in that power range. He used one again in #100 Blood Testament, but for a long time, his favorite powerhouse "precision" rifle was the three shot .460 Weatherby Mk. V.

 

Frankly, though, I love the .45-70 and .444 and .460 Weatherby.

 

Those things are made for hunting SUV's and mounting their hides on the wall.

 

:D

You know it's going to be a bad day when ...

 

... your twin sister forgets your birthday.

 

... you wake up face down on the pavement.

 

... you put your bra on backwards and it fits better.

 

... you call suicide prevention and they put you on hold.

 

... your birthday cake collapses from the weight of the candles.

 

... you want to put on the clothes you wore home from the party, and there aren't any.

 

... you turn on the TV news and they're displaying emergency routes out of your city.

 

... the woman you've been seeing on the side begins to look like your wife.

 

... you wake up to discover that your water bed broke and then you realize that you don't have a water bed.

 

... your horn goes off accidently and remains stuck as you follow a group of Hell's Angels on the freeway.

 

... you get a rejection notice from the HUMOR Listserver saying that you're no longer funny

 

... your ex-lover calls and tells you he has 6 days to live, and that you'd better get the Test

 

... you wake up at work naked in front of your co-workers

 

... when someone accuses you of faking humor

 

... your lover tells you, "I'm sub-letting another apartment and the movers are here to move me."

 

... you have an appointment in 10 minutes and you just woke up

 

... you need your chocoholic fix and the government just banned chocolate!

A duck walks into a bar and orders a beer and a sandwich.

 

The bartender looks at him and says, "But you're a duck."

 

"I see your eyes are working," replies the duck.

 

"And you talk!" exclaims the bartender.

 

"I see your ears are working," says the duck, "now can I have my beer

and my sandwich, please?"

 

"Certainly," says the bartender, "sorry about that, it's just we don't

get many ducks in this pub. What are you doing round this way?"

 

"I'm working on the building site across the road," explains the duck.

 

So the duck drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, pays and leaves. This

continues for 2 weeks. Then one day the circus comes to town. The

ringmaster of the circus comes into the pub and the bartender tells him

about the incredible talking duck.

 

"Marvellous," says the ringmaster, "get him to come see me."

 

So the next day, the duck comes into the pub. The bartender says,

"Hey,Mr Duck, I lined you up with a top job paying really good money!"

 

"Yeah," says the duck, "sounds great, where is it?"

 

"At the circus" says the bartender.

 

"The circus?" the duck enquires.

 

"That's right," replies the bartender.

 

"The circus? That place with the big tent? With all the animals? With

the big canvas roof with the hole in the middle?" asks the duck.

 

"That's right!" says the bartender.

 

The duck looks confused and asks: "What the f**k do they want with a

plasterer?"

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators so far during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:

 

1. Weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."

 

2. Dressage commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."

 

3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."

 

4. Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious."

 

5. Softball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."

 

6. Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."

 

7. At the rowing medal ceremony: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."

 

8. Soccer commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."

 

9. Tennis commentator: "One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them... Oh my God, what have I just said?"

Are you a good judge of character? Try this out.

 

By looking at a picture of a person, you have to decide if he is a program language inventor or a serial killer. Go with your gut feeling ...

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

 

for all the "older" friends I've got

 

I don't know why I didn't think of this before.

 

 

Recently I was checking my 401k account and thinking about retirement, as everyone does when they hit 55. I saw an article about nursing and retirement homes and the expenses. Then it hit me. . . . . No nursing home for me!

 

Here is my plan: I'm checking into the Holiday Inn.

 

With the average cost for a nursing home reaching $188 per day, there is a better way when we get old and feeble. I have already checked on reservations at the Holiday Inn. For a combined long-term stay discount and senior discount, it's $49.23 per night. That leaves $138.77 a day for breakfast, lunch, dinner in any restaurant I want, or room service. It also will leave enough for laundry, gratuities, and special TV movies.

 

Plus, I'll get a swimming pool, a workout room, a lounge, and washer and dryer. I'll also get free toothpaste, razors, shampoo and soap. And I'll be treated like a customer, not a patient.

 

Five dollars worth of tips a day will have the entire staff scrambling. There is a city bus stop out front, and seniors ride free. The handicap bus will also pick me up if I fake a decent limp. Ride the church bus free on Sundays. For a change of scenery, take the airport shuttle bus and eat at one of the nice restaurants there. While you're at the airport, fly somewhere. Meanwhile, the cash keeps building up.

 

It takes months to get into decent nursing homes. On the other hand, Holiday Inn will take your reservation today. And you are not stuck in one place forever -- you can move from Inn to Inn, or even from city to city.

 

Want to see Hawaii? They have a Holiday Inn there, too. TV broken? Light bulbs need changing? Need a mattress replaced? No problem. They fix everything and apologize for the inconvenience. The Inn has a night security person and daily room service. The maid checks if you are OK. If not, they will call the undertaker or an ambulance. If you fall and break a hip, Medicare will pay for the hip, and Holiday Inn will upgrade you to a suite for the rest of your life. And no worries about visits from family. They will always be glad to visit you, and probably check in for a mini-vacation. The grandkids can use the pool. What more can you ask for?

 

When I discussed my plan with friends, they came up with even more benefits that Holiday Inn provides retirees. Most standard rooms have coffee makers, reclining chairs, and satellite TV -- all you need to enjoy a cozy afternoon. After a movie and a good nap, you can check on your children (free local phone calls), then take a stroll to the lounge or restaurant where you meet new and exotic people every day. Many Holiday Inns even feature live entertainment on the weekends. Often they have special offers, too, like the Kids Eat Free program. You can invite your grandkids over after school to have a free dinner with you. Just tell them not to bring more than three friends.

 

Pick a Holiday Inn where they allow pets, and your best friend can keep you company as well. If you want to travel, but are a bit skittish about unfamiliar surroundings, you'll always feel at home because wherever you go, the rooms all look the same. And if you're getting a little absent-minded in your old days, you never have to worry about not finding your room -- your electronic key fits only one door and the helpful bellman or desk clerk is on duty 24/7.

 

Being natural skeptics, we called a Holiday Inn to check out the feasibility of my plan. I'm happy to report that they were positively giddy at the idea of us checking in for a year or more. They even offered to negotiate the rate. We could have easily knocked them down to $40 a night!

 

"So, when I reach the golden age I'll face it with a grin. Just forward all your emails to the Holiday Inn!"

Yogi Berra would be proud. I'd give you rep but I have to find about 15 other people first.

[/quote'] 8/10 The only serial killer I knew when I saw him was David Berkowitz. They should have tossed in Cliff Stoll and Richard Stallman. I guess they're not programming language inventors, but they're still scary dudes.
