The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

In my case, this would be jackets, shoes, boots and other clothing shed by my children. Also some stale pretzels and empty water bottles. Lots of old spelling tests and last year's project on pioneers. Halloween candy wrappers. Lunch boxes . . . I dare them to find something useful to steal . . . well, there is about 2 bucks in change.

Whoa. If this is true, they could likely do the same thing with your garage door opener, and gain access to your house!

I have actually heard about this happening too

Just as an OT post, my brother noticed that Lefty has compensated for his lack of depth perception by bobbing his head slightly up and down as he walks. Kinda like a long haired pigeon.

Doesn't seem off topic to me, perfectly on topic in the silly thread as everything and anything is the topic!!!!!

I gotta agree here When do we ever stick to a topic fer long ?

Part of the charm

[tom]

Oh definitely .. .any bobblehead meow-meow's hippie pigeon impersonation is as ON topic as ANYthing!!!

(Impersonation??? imcatation? imfelination? Is the "person" in impersonation the object or the performer of the mimickry? Imavianation???)

[elye]

(Impersonation??? imcatation? imfelination? Is the "person" in impersonation the object or the performer of the mimickry? Imavianation???)

This is a query as liable to drive me nuts as the endless button-pressing on things that fail to work . .. . . .....

My guess would be that the "person" is referring to the entity being imitated. Imavianation, in this case, sounds bang-on... . .

So, I continued to press, press, prrrresssssss my cell phone buttons this morning, long after it was apparent that it was NOT working. I had plugged it in overnight to recharge it, and this morning, nothing. Dead. Took it to the phone place this aft, and the young gentleman clerk plugged it into his outlet at the service desk, where it immediately began charging. I remarked, "Well, this morning it was NOT charging. It was like....well.... .. .it had made its way down the hole of a porta-potty".

He stared at me for a moment, then quietly asked, "Would you reach in and attempt to retrieve it?"

I stared back at him. I replied, "You need to get onto this forum of which I'm a member".... . . . . . .

laffylaffylaffy!!!!!!!!

The cranberry sauce is done

[DingoGirl]

Also, I was delighted to read about the little pygmies who were the first inhabitants of Burundi, and now make up only five per cent of its population. Their name?

The Twa.

I LOVE THIS! The little Twa people. 'Tis excellent, yes it is..........

oh yeah! that's where we were, discussing the Twa, which settles 5% by volume *snort*

Yep, you are onto something for sure, Leeeesa. . ... ...those lemurs are just lying in wait, behind the African scrub, up in the baobab trees. . . ..... . .and these ones fly, Soooozie.......

Um, the Twa were the first targeted experiment for these little flying beasts... . . .. ...

And there aren't many of them left .... . ...

well WHAT am I supposed to do with this Flying Lemur information? Stay away from the zoo? cover my Burundian scent???????????????? :scaredface:

Hey do we care about the "Hey Not Everything Has to be Shiny" Cup w/ Calgary Rodeopeople facing the Montreal . ....uhhh ...is Alouettes obsolete? .. ..and wasn't Expos about as Structural as a mascot can be??

Or is doubleA ball in Martinez the Bridges .. ..

what in HELL is he talking about?

OH, It snowed this morning!!....but it's turned to rain now arctic bloody wind's still there though

Tel's baking more mince pies , Alzey's watching 'Matilda' behind me and the phorums BACK

IT'S ALL GOOD BABY!!!!!!!

Yes, back in the bosom of our sillies!!!! ♥

...and I think the title in the 'board technical help' should read:

'Board outRage & rehab recovery'

*snort* x 10

Yes Yes!! Me too . . . Computer finally gave up and said it had to quit . . . what happened???? . . . Do lemurs have opposable thumbs?? . . . Are they technically capable of booby trapping a scuba gear link?? Are the lemurs behind the emoticonage reduction??

I'm sure they are - quite bright, those saucer-eyed creatures

Finally an hr later I got a password again

we'll see if this will work.

Good to be back home.

haven't read a thing..............just wanted to say 'HI' and really missed you all

Judy

HI JUDY!!!!!!!!!! ♥ glad yer back!

Nik, you're right..... . . I do NOT want to impart any hilariously clever discourse until I know it will be here to stay. So I remain quite dull and matter-of-fact until we are CERTAIN that all is permanently restored. . . . ......

I will just ask this question, as it has been haunting me for DAYS:

Why do we press harder on remote control buttons when we know the battery is dead?

We also move closer to the TV but still keep trying to use the remote!!!

We also pick up lil bits that don't get sucked up in the vacuum, inspect them to determine why the vacuum wouldn't suck them up, then place them on the carpet again to let the vacuum have another chance!! . . .

x 5

yes - my vacuum is quite lame - - I am CONSTANTLY picking up bits and putting them back down for the stupid thing to suck - HARRUMPHF

part deux coming up

[DingoGirl]

and part deux

My stupid robot thingy has gone blind and refuses to run for fear he'll run off a cliff.

x 5 this sentence just cracked me up - - and Jess, taking the thing apart (invalidating her warranty, good one gianknit) and, a guide dog/cat for it............. *snort* wackl, all of it

If you push it once, you have that idle time of waiting for the elevator to arrive. We all know that sitting around doing nothing makes time move at it's slowest.

However, by repeatedly pounding on that button, your mind may be focused on the hand-eye coordination necessary to do said task, thereby being distracted from the relatively slow pace of the elevator, making it seem faster.

So relative to your observed time (since time is relative after all), hitting the button multiple times will, indeed, make the elevator "faster."

Okay, there.....I've answered my own question. But I don't really know what in hell I'm talking about.

oh sure ya do

Patti's right - every little bit helps

Oh sure it's back for NOW, but is it back for good???

Dare we up the wackl knowing it may dissolve into the cyber-ether????? :eacko: oops lol

I dunno.......dare we?

Apparently, thiefs (always seeming to be one step ahead of the game) have figured out how to steal the unlock code across frequencies. They will park nearby with a special kind of device and sit and watch and wait for someone to get out of their cars, walk away and click on their keychain lock button. When the button is clicked they are able to pick up the code and they are able to unlock the car and help themselves to whatever might be inside.

well, good thing I'm driving a 10-year-old Jeep - the Amish version, before those key alarm thingys were invented

[tom]

what in HELL is he talking about?

Heehee the "Hey Not Everything Has to be Shiny" Cup is aka The Grey Cup!!!!!!

But it turns out it IS quite shiny & the Stampoeters triumphed.

Phew! Just had a long meeting w/ bossman . .. ...getting some good chances to prove how woefully underpaid I am. It's not unreasonable to think I could possibly get a 50% raise in a few months. :o

really? fan-pharking-tastic!!!!!

I am watching Big Bang Theory...........OMG...........am SOOOOOOOO scared to say that sometimes that tall scientist Sheldon reminds me of myself when he is doing the fast talking

<and I have been told this by someone else>

hmmm....maybe I"ll start taking quaaludes?

[DingoGirl]

the puppies are extremely wild tonight

and - there are, um, feathers? maybe? all over the floor from sumfin' they've torn apart

I think they just got busted

help me - so cute

[curlyfries]

Whoa. If this is true, they could likely do the same thing with your garage door opener, and gain access to your house!

A long time ago we had problems with our garage door.......someone elses opener must've been on the same frequency as ours.....we were always finding our garage door open.

Just as an OT post, my brother noticed that Lefty has compensated for his lack of depth perception by bobbing his head slightly up and down as he walks. Kinda like a long haired pigeon.

Hmmm.....my husband has minimal vision in one eye, so no depth perception.........

I wonder if it helps Lefty sense the closeness of objects.....or just minimizes the damage if he were to walk into something.....

I don't suppose this would help hubby to realize when a turn in the road is closer than he thinks

Oh definitely .. .any bobblehead meow-meow's hippie pigeon impersonation is as ON topic as ANYthing!!!

..........did you say bobblehead?...........that has an entirely different meaning in the middle school world........I'd send you to the office for saying that!

........as a matter of fact.......so does meow.........I almost filed sexual harrassment charges on a student for his behavior around me......and it started with meow's

I think I mentioned that a loooong time ago.

So........Ptaughmnus............what were you saying?

Took it to the phone place this aft, and the young gentleman clerk plugged it into his outlet at the service desk, where it immediately began charging. I remarked, "Well, this morning it was NOT charging.

Well of course........Murphy's Law.

Any time my car would act up, hubby would drive it around.....................nothing.

[tom]

hmmm....maybe I"ll start taking quaaludes?

GAH!!!!!!

Reminds me of my 'lude scar, circa 1983.

[nikki-uk]

Morning sillies!!!!!!!!!!!

I shall soon be posting in gloves, scarf and wooly hat as it would seem my boiler that supplies the hot water and heat is DYING!!!!

GAHHH!!!!!! The plumber has been (alas NO ballcocks) ... but he DID look like a young Colin Farrell!!!! <Somebody STOP me!!..he was young enough to be me son!! >

The handsome wee lad was out of his depth and has gone to fetch the big chief plumber

Also, I was delighted to read about the little pygmies who were the first inhabitants of Burundi, and now make up only five per cent of its population. Their name?

The Twa.

I LOVE THIS! The little Twa people. 'Tis excellent, yes it is........... ..

OMG!!

The Twa ARE the little people under me stairs, I'm sure!!!

I asked them outright!....'are YOU Twa???' ........ the strangest thing happened....

They proceeded to do a dance .. stamping their feet, waggling their tongues chanting 'Twa, twa!'

Most unsettling.....

Jess's tinkering with her ROOMBA!....and little Lefty (bless his li'l cotton socks) going round in a circle whilst bobbing his head x3

...........OMG...........am SOOOOOOOO scared to say that sometimes that tall scientist Sheldon reminds me of myself when he is doing the fast talking

<and I have been told this by someone else>

*SNORT*!!!!!!!!!!!

MUST conserve energy......need blankies and hot toddies...STAT!.......

[elye]

Good Morning, All!

Well, we got that bit o' snow of which others were speaking. .. . ..3 cm, but it's enough to cover the ground and shovel from the deck, otherwise I can see me goin' arse over tip (Or arse over Twa........great new expression ... . ....flipping over like you've tripped over a little African man).... . . . .

Hmmm.....my husband has minimal vision in one eye, so no depth perception.........

Whoa, Leeeeesa . . .. . . ...does he wander about bobbing his head up and down?

Well of course........Murphy's Law.

Any time my car would act up, hubby would drive it around.....................nothing.

Yes, this Rogers clerk was really acting like I was a) taking up too much of his time, and kind of nuts. I could sense the eye-rolling as he turned his back to plug my phone in, and of course, it worked immediately.

What saved him? Of course, asking me if I would retrieve my phone from a heinous toilet hole. .. . . ......

... but he DID look like a young Colin Farrell!!!! <Somebody STOP me!!..he was young enough to be me son!! >

Actually, I was just informed of the official formula for determining when the age difference for a woman and a young man becomes "sick", as my 42 year-old single friend called it. The Sick Scale: The woman's age, divided by two, plus seven years. So, she can go out with 28 year-old guys without feeling like a pathetic, skanky cougar.

Hope yer boiler is chuggin' away now, Nik.....not a good time of year for it to be on the fritz. Again, some law at work, here.. . .not Murphy's, this time .. . . .I think it should be someone else's.

Harriet's Law.

Ptaoughmghmn! The Grey Cup, coincidentally, is grey, but that is not the reason for its name.

The Grey Cup is a trophy produced by Birks Jewellers that has been part of Canadian sports since 1909, when it was donated by Governor General Earl Grey for the Canadian football championship. The name "Grey Cup" has since been used to refer both to the trophy and the event.

Isn't that just fascinating?

Twas phunny last night.....knockknockknockknock Penny.......knockknockknockknock Penny.... Sheldon actually reminds Mark and I of our son, Matt.

I saw the puppies on CNN Showbiz Tonight the other night!

GAHHH!!!!!! The plumber has been (alas NO ballcocks) ... but he DID look like a young Colin Farrell!!!! <Somebody STOP me!!..he was young enough to be me son!! >

Ooh--Nik's got herselph a cute young plumber too!!

GAH!!!!!!

Reminds me of my 'lude scar, circa 1983.

OMG!!

The Twa ARE the little people under me stairs, I'm sure!!!

I asked them outright!....'are YOU Twa???' ........ the strangest thing happened....

They proceeded to do a dance .. stamping their feet, waggling their tongues chanting 'Twa, twa!'

Most unsettling.....

good to know as I have, sadly, as I really actually am a cougar now

'twas so funny.......and, this is sometimes how I have to get Shane's attention -

"ShaneShaneSHaneShaneShaneShane!" and it is occasionally accompanied by a harsh and persistent digit-finger poking of his shoulder

cute plumbers? never seen one here

sillies - OMG - I am having SO many celebrity dreams lately - - two about the Obamas in the last week and last night, I was hanging out with Ellen and Portia, at their HOUSE, Portia told me what kind of lip gloss she was wearing as we were shopping at Sak's Lauren was in a play at UCLA and we went to retrieve her through the throngs of a dense crowd

and - my big toe was bleeding profusely from a tiny pin prick - their private nurse attended me........

I got to see and smell HUNDREDS of exotic perfumes - some familiar to me, some not......

I found the most glorious posh and very expensive greenish purse at Sak's

what does it mean........

[blueeyedmanda]

Sillies!!!!

I GOT MY HOUSE!!!!!

The bank counter-offered and we thought about it overnight and accepted a few minutes ago!!!!!

Our settlement will be Jan. 19th. The bank asked us to push back a week.

[jerseyangel]

I GOT MY HOUSE!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS AMANDA!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy and excited for you and John!!

[elye]

YAAAAAAAAAAAY, AMANDA!!!!!!!

It's SO exciting!!. .. . .Um. . . .should we perhaps be planning another parade??

WHAT? bobbleheads and meow-ing are naughty things in Leesah's world? *snort* I'm afraid I"m goign to have to ask you to elaborate on this....

Meant to ask about this meself . . .. . ..I've never heard of "bobblehead" meaning anything but....well....a bobblehead. Those silly figurines on my daughter's shelf - - hockey players, mostly.

Leeeesa, what is the naughty meaning? We all have our suspicions, of course. Tell us this - - is it a word that you provided instructions for making in ASL?

lude scar? care to explain sir?

Yes! Something else I wanted to explore. Ptaoughmghmn, where is your quaalude scar? Is it in the shape of a quaalude, or is it named this due to it being created whilst you were taking quaaludes??

'twas so funny.......and, this is sometimes how I have to get Shane's attention -

"ShaneShaneSHaneShaneShaneShane!" and it is occasionally accompanied by a harsh and persistent digit-finger poking of his shoulder

Soooozie, you would be terrific in front of a slow elevator.. . . . ..

Um... . . .yer dreams. . .. . ....forgive my ignorance. . .....are you dreaming about Elen Degeneres? Portia who?
