We really need to make Ned a moderator for threads like this.....

Well, if its not mine it holds much less interest to me.  Rather like other people's blood.  Seeing a giant swath of it on the wall would be much more disturbing if it were mine.

and why didn't they have cool crap like that when i was a kid.

When I was a kid we had this neat stuff called "dirt" to play with.

We would build roads and castles and whole little cities out of it.

Not to mention you could take a wad of it and throw it, and it would "explode" on impact.   cool

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

I remember living on a dirt road; the clods from after they grated the road were awesome! Dirt grenades ftw!

We were too poor to have dirt to play with, we would dream of the day when we could afford dirt.   rolleyes

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I don't think they're offering those around here now.  I ate at McD's with my family the other day.  Both me and Abby got happy meals and neither one had the spy toys.  I got a transformer, she got some bobblehead thing.

The difference is she's four...

And she can use the English language properly.

Quick, everyone! A rousing chorus of the pedant song!   laugh

Isn't that cute...  grin

You know, I've been seeing this stuff from you guys for a while (lurking here, reading at THR in the past to a lesser degree) and I just have to ask:

1) In a previous life were you guys husband and wife?

OR

2)  Are you guys actually brothers?

Either one of those would explain a lot Cheesy

They are neither as far as I know.  Just two guys that hang out together.  One single the other married with a daughter, Abby, that likes to beat up Mike.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

Maybe they were supposed to be brothers but just happened to be born to different mothers  smiley

Not only no, but hell no!

Remember the movie Twins with Devito and the Governator?  Well, I'm not Devito. Cheesy

If you had come out Sunday, you too could join in the fun. Smiley

If we were, he was definitely the wife.

While I have the body and hair of Danny DeVito (as well as the Louis DePalma personality), Mtnbkr has NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING of Ahhhnold. In fact, he could be the anti-Ahhhnold. Cheesy


It's simply a case of I know the guy, and I like to give him a hard time.

Yeah, I figured that, but...where is the fun in that. 

Actually, the best friends are usually those who you can give such a hard time.

If that's the case, you must have been extremely wealthy.....'cause I can't figure any other way it could have happened....

Not much different than in this life, really.  laugh
