Well, it'll take the strain off paying for college.

Grind 'em up, put a Rhino horn label on 'em, Bam... College tuition. :rolleyes:

LMAO

So my grandson from CT was down to visit with his mother. We had an easy breakfast and I was feeling pretty good. He and I went for a ride on the bike. Last stop was the Pireway boat ramp. A lovely spot on the Waccamaw River.

Feeling better pa pa?

I am a happy camper Billy.

You like camping too pa pa?
Then he thought about it and asked if that was one of those old fashioned corny sayings like "cool" or "man" or "dude" or.... I said thats enough I get point.

eyeaaaah...

Had to explain the opening sequence to Get Smart to co-worker today. *all* was lost in the translation.

Yeah, where do you start?

I'm guessing you mean the movie and not the original tv series. BTW have you seen Danger 5? I saw eps 1 & 2. Totally surreal parody of a parody of every TV show from the cold war, and Hanna Barberra cartoons, Mannix, et al, up through the 90s Space Ghost.

It's a hilarious insane anachronistic trainwreck of a show.

I had to look up the movie.

I'd forgotten it, completely. I was all *there's a movie?*

Shit!

Now I'm losing it completely. . I have NO MEMORY WHATSOEVER of logging in as Gravdigr and posting my thoughts.

Gonna have to add to my wardrobe a note to be pinned to my jacket with if found / return instructions.

Assuming I remember....

You didn't know it all those years ago, but that's the real reason you got a driver's license. :cool:

The wise-ass is strong with the mm:

The inch has been mental about bikes for the past year or so and is constantly sharing his latest discoveries. Some might say oversharing, to wit:

Inch: I just saw the sickest bike; it had a dropper post, 180mm of travel, Schwalbe Magic Mary tire--

mm: Whooping cough...

*groan* :)

Minifob: Did you go to the store today?
Me: Nope, not today.
Minifob: Don't worry, you have some time between 9:00 and 1:00 tomorrow.

:eyebrow:

Great to have a personal/social secretary to keep you on track. :haha:

Minifob had a rough day at school the other day, and he asked me to come "hang out" with him for a bit, which generally translates to laying on his bed with him while he tearfully recounts what went wrong and ponders the meaninglessness of life and all that angsty stuff.

So we're laying on his bed together, he's getting emotional, and his sister wanders into the room. In an instant, Minifob leaps out of bed, holds up his hands, and yells, "Honey! I can explain!"

God help me, I laughed. So hard. And this is why my kids will tell inappropriate jokes for the rest of their days.

That's great. :lol2:

Ya don't have to be parents to appreciate this, but, I thought you parents might appreciate this:

20 Times Kids Came Up With Their Own Brilliant Words For Common Items

There are some gems in there...

The MM, the Inch, my GF, and I were swimming in a lake in Vermont a week ago and as we walked to the beach there was a sign that said:
WARNING
WATER IS INFESTED WITH EURASIAN WATER MILFOIL

We didn't see any obvious signs of infestation of anything, and we had no idea what Eurasian Water Milfoil was, but the word infestation seemed to imply insects or some sort of dangerous microscopic and dangerous critter.

We're trying to figure out what it might be, milfoil meaning many leaves, but we didn't see any plant life to speak of in the clear lake water.

ME: What the hell is Eurasian Milfoil?
Inch: It's probably not a type of oil.

GF, eh? No wonder you don't come around here no more.

all busy gettin' some MILF oil :D

I'd bet money she's Eurasian, too!

Useless sign. It ought to have been a sign saying to clean any boats (or anything else that might collect plant matter) thoroughly before taking them to other lakes, so it doesn't get transplanted there as well.

Hiya Feets!!! How's things?

Milf oil...That is priceless.

Hi everybody!

I will come back with an update soon, the Cliff's notes version is things are good, have been dating a woman I met on acceptable cherub, she lives about an hour away and is a real sweetheart from the midwest, transplanted to VT.

She has a fantastic sense of humor and we laugh a lot. Making up for lost time in that and other departments.

The kids are getting older, taller, smarter all the time.

It seems like only the other day when I was searching for parenting advice for my newborn and one of the top hits was:
Bringing up the shorties so they aren't completely messed up

Hi, foot!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, newborn? :eek:

Its Ok to swim there as long as your ears don't get submerged and don't pee in the water as they swim up your urethral canal.

He said "seems like just the other day," as in, that was what brought him to the cellar all those years ago, when the inch was a newborn.

Glad you're doing well, foot! This new GF believes we're real people, right?

I'm still not sure.

So far she hasn't doubted your existence.

I even told her my handle so she could research the unvarnished me before we started dating. It's been a little longer than a year that we've been going out. I guess what she read didn't scare her off.

Yes. We have "Rock snot" in the rivers around where I live. The signs are much clearer about what to do and not to do, vis-a-vis, shoes and water craft.

She prolly has read some of my edumacated lines of wit and decided we are full of shit.

might want to lock down any boat threads

LMAO!

Quite humorous.

PoloGirl (College senior) is taking a dull, non-genius-level class to complete her ?science requirement for graduation. Something to do with the environment and people.... All other students are taking it for the same reason. She was telling me that the prof is clearly not used to having students who can write. He's set a homework that's a minimum 600 words, and told the class "don't worry if you're struggling, you can treat it as a series of long-answer questions and not string them together as an essay. Just start writing, you'll be amazed at how much you can actually write".

She said "my problem is getting it down to 600. I can't sneeze in less than 600 words". I larfed.

Sounds like a female to me.:lol2:

Funny/Embarrassing things they say - From The Old Folks' Home Edition
 

Yeah I warped the thread, Precious. Turned it around even.

Popdigr went to visit Grandmadigr at the home (she'll be 101 in Feb:fingerx:) and she was in what would be the dayroom if it were a jail, and there was old Mrs. Doe sitting in a wheelchair beside her. Mrs. Doe was married to Mr. Doe, a preacher, for like 70-some odd years. Sweetest-looking li'l old lady you ever did see. One of the nurses was trying to get her to finish as much of her lunch as she could:

"Mrs. Doe can't ya get the rest of this Ensure down? You really need to finish it."

Mrs. Doe replied with, and I quote:

"Now look here you cock-sucking bitch, I told you I was done, and I'm done. Now get that shit away from me."

Popdigr said venom dripped from every word.

True Story™.:lol2:

Ha!

Lil' Griff said the same thing (well not the sneezing bit) about the essay she wrote to get into grad school. There is such a range of expectations out there with some schools still asking so very little that you need to know your audience.

But haven't you heard? EVERYONE should go to college!

My bass playing nephew dropped out of college to focus on his playing but is also apprenticing part-time as an electrician. He's smarter than most.

That's a great combination. I should have done it.

At least a third of bar gigs have questionable power available for you. "Everybody plug into this outlet"

One outdoor place a few years ago handed us a single, very frayed extension cable for everything

:hedfone::shock:

My buddy has 8 full time plumbers working for him, each one gets a van, tools and gas. None went to college, one is a convicted felon due to a youthful indiscretion. They all work unsupervised most of the time, make 6 figures a year, and will never be unemployed unless they want to.

Another thing is most of the trades people are at least 40, more likely 50 to 60ish and nobody coming up to replace them.

Robots will not be plumbing old houses any time soon.

At work today, received a text from Thunderboy, lost and hence late for orientation for his new term time job (lifeguard at u of m).... "Fucking shitting fuck nuggets, I can't find the fucking building". No doubt about his family tree then.... :Lol:

:sweat:

It's that he's chronically late and still took the time to type that which amuses me the most. I think. Although it would have been better to just fucking call me for help....

21yo son decided to teach 18yo son to cook chicken sauce w pasta tonight. Bless.

Fortunately my mouth was empty when I overheard this gem:

"You know the correct term for cooked pasta? Al dente? yeah, ok... ...you just don't want it to be like ...you know... floppy dick"

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

Lol!!

Well, who likes floppy dick?!

:lol2:

well if it's an 8" I guess there's potential....

noodly?

Not me. I replaced mine with a CD ROM drive.
