Hey! I'm 'spose to be taking it easy on my incisions! You want me to rip a stitch or somethin'?

RE: Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin/Who ever

Palin, hands down! I wasn't even going to watch it - and I didn't watch quite all of it - but I saw enough to know that she impressed me more last night than she has at any point before this.

Kinda' felt sorry for Mr. Biden - It was a bit like watching a puppy trying to rough-house a kitten... And finding out the kitten has claws and knows how to use them!

RE: Who do you resemble?

I look an awful lot like the guy who used to be on the local PBS station in Northwest Kansas from time to time. He used to do things like portraying a civilian Cavalry Scout from the 1860's or a Mountain man from the 1830's and he taught youngsters about tracking, flint & steel firemaking and other "frontier survival skills."

Yep, I look enough like him that I might could actually even BE him. Kinda' miss him sometimes - he sure was good at what he did. And he really enjoyed it! ...Oh well, maybe one of these days he'll show up again, but in East Tennessee.

RE: new employment

Bettis, I'll say this much -

I haven't had my hair cut or styled or done anything at all but relax it occasionally with a "home kit" in more than 3 years, but if I ever make it back out to Portland, I'm darn sure gonna' make it a point to look you up and sit in your chair!

RE: silly humor

Thanks, Bettis! I missed these the first go-round!

RE: Looking For Your Face

Sorry Mark, but my last name is McCrary. And while I've done some writing and had a few things published, Don Williams is one of my favorite C&W singers who was quite popular back in the 80's. (They called him the "Gentle Giant.") He's got a voice like spun honey and - while he wrote quite a few of his own songs and recorded many others - he reached a point early on where he refused to record "cheatin' songs" or those that portrayed others in a negative way.

He found inspiration in his music and his songs have long been an inspiration to me;


I know how it feels
When you try and try again
And then you never win -
I know how it feels.

Ah, but this around I've finally found
What it's all about -
They write songs about
The way that I feel.

I've got a winner in you
No way I can lose
A love I can hold on to,
I've got a winner in you!

~Don Williams~ (excerpt from "I've Got a Winner in You")

RE: Looking For Your Face

You're more than welcome to tag along and I'd be glad to have the company - we both might learn a few things - but it'd be far easier to buy a couple of his (Don Williams) CD's. I've been a fan of his since I was a kid. Here's part of another one:

In the shelter of your eyes
I have fin'ly found my song.
'Took so long to realize
I just can't make it on my own.

Words are only what they say,
But this feeling isn't wrong.
I'm so glad I found my way;
It's good to be where I belong...

And I'm gonna' stay right here 'cause I'm
In rythm with your mind.
'Tune out the world and rest my head
'Neath the shelter of your eyes...

~Don Williams~ (excerpt from "In the Shelter of Your Eyes")

RE: Looking For Your Face

Oh all I needed was one look -
One magic moment was all it took!
From that moment, I loved you so -
Now that I've found you, I'm never gonna' let you go!

RE: Happy Birthday Jampet!

Remember, you're not getting older, you're.. uh... Well, ok - you ARE getting older, but there's no reason you can't have fun at it!

Two Drunks...

(Just couldn't resist!)

Two drunks walk into a bar. The first drunk looks at his buddy and says "I gotta go use the can." So he wonders off to the bathroom and is gone for 5 ... 10... 20 minutes.

Well his friend gets ticked off and goes in to get him. He finds him in there and asks "What the hell are you doing?" The first drunk replies "Every time I flush, something reaches up and grabs my balls." The second drunk looks at him and says "Well no kiddin', dumba**, you're sittin' on the mop bucket!"

Food Spoilage Tests For Dairy Products...

(This is for young single men and other inept people.)

Milk is spoiled when it starts to look like yogurt.

Yogurt is spoiled when it starts to look like cottage cheese.

Cottage cheese is spoiled when it starts to look like regular cheese.

Regular cheese is nothing but spoiled milk anyway and can't get any more spoiled than it is already.

Cheddar cheese is spoiled when you think it is blue cheese but you realize you've never purchased that kind.

RE: The Match Thread.

Crap! I ran outta' lighter fluid and came in here because it said something about somebody having matches but nobody seems to!




Maybe I can find a smokin' hot thread!

Profanity is an ignorant man's way of expressing himself.

RE: Lost Soul Part Two

Of course not, Pat! That's why there will always be a need for life jackets and rescue squads.

RE: Randomly Post The First Thing That Pops Into Your Head Thread

Thanks, Ken!
Good enough to be bored to tears because I'm not quite good enough to actually do anything yet.

I don't have to pee no more!

I gots to pee!

RE: this just Emailed to me

Ok, so give me the $3500.00! I'm off work for a month after having my gallbladder yanked and I could certainly put it to at least as good a use as they could! Heck, I'm not even that greedy - give me 35 bucks and I'll buy some feed for the chickens and a rose for my wife and still have enough left over for a pack of smokes. (And it'd still do me a helluva' lot more good than what they're spending it on!)

A Riddle...

Hey WW!

I'm feeling just good enough to wish I was feeling better than I am because I'm soooooo freaking tired of having to "take it easy" because I don't feel good.

RE: Lost Soul Part Two

And so does butter.

Crying over spilt milk is at least as productive as poking a hole in a boat and then complaining because it leaks.

In fact, I've come to believe that quite a few people are more content to panic over the fact that the boat is leaking than to recognize that it's floating in 3 inches of water and all they really need to do is step out and walk to the damn bank!

I think I have a chicken outhouse - It only has one door and the bottom is covered with...

RE: Biden/Palin debate will you watch it?

I'll watch it if it's too dark to go outside and watch the grass grow or there's nothing else on or I can't find a good book to read or if don't end up in the hospital because I got attacked by a rabid chipmunk while trimming my toenails in the chicken coop or if I decide that I somehow haven't already gotten my full dose of stupid for the day!
