Sushi

You are corRECT sir Kevlar. I grew up in New Jersey in the 60's and 70's and I listened to Don Imus 'religiously'.

Now, one for Sudo: HERE!

I'd like to make it clear, I wasn't condoning the snide remarks, just examining the thought process. 1. One person sees another. 2. First person makes quick mental calculation of second person's general appearance. 3. Concludes they aren't as fat as second person. 4. Obviously, this means they are 'better' than second person. 5. In a misguided attempt to 'help' second person, says something they 'think' will help them. It could also be, first person is rather insecure about their appearance. Therefore, first person is actually trying to make THEMSELVES feel better by making the snide remark. Admittedly though, there does seem to be a 'rudening' of America. Usually, this is done under the guise of 'help', but is probably more an attempt for the commenter to feel better about themselves rather than genuinely encouraging the object of their comments.

Okay, one for Chatola: HERE!

I've been overweight for most of my life. Right now, I'm in a downward trend and intend to keep it that way. I am also diabetic. I think the difference is, as opposed to hair color, the size of one's nose, et al, weight is regarded as something an individual can do something about. And while one can get cosmetic surgery for nature's oversights, weight is something you can control. It's a matter of how badly you want it.

I didn't write this, but here goes: I don't care if it rains or freezes, Long as I got my plastic Jesus, Ridin on the dashboard of my car I can go a hunnert miles an hour Long as I got the Almighty Power Sittin up there with my pair of FUZzy dice (sung to the tune of kinda like Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, but a bit more up tempo)

I fixed the link on pg. 227, cath. Yes, I will post some more Christine Lavin, but it probably won't be until tomorrow (tomorrow, tomorrow ::biglaugh )

This is an actual sign I saw in Lansing, Michigan. It has NOT been photoshopped or anything else to that effect. And some people wonder why I have a problem with 'religious' people.

THOSE RAT BASTIDS!!! Yo, Raf, you want I should have some of da boys go 'visit' dat committee? We coo make em an offuh dey can't refyoose.

Guess I gotta keep the names simpler.

Would somebody PLEASE fix this for me. I'm outta practice.

And just for Chatola, HERE!

"Who is Christine Lavin?? A pop singer?" No, she's a folk singer who does serious and comedic songs. When I get the chance, I will post some of her stuff. And if anyone's interested, I pretty sure I have the soundtrack to "The Princess Bride".

Hey Chatty, Where did you get that picture of Shell? It has come to my attention you may be a an up and coming fan of Christine Lavin. Should you desire any songs by her, if I don't have it, it probably doesn't exist.

Stop SAYING that!

***posted by Abigail - switched computers and forgot to log Sushi out**** Thought I would add . . . What makes the difference, between sex and violence in movees is that you can pretty much count on almost all kids having sex some day (though ideally not til they are adults), but most kids will not go around killing each other. Kids understand that sex isa normal and acceptable behavior, but violence is not. That being said, I do agree that the amount of violence children see on t.v. must certainly have an effect on them. It is getting more and more difficult to stop children from viewing it. I cannot count how many times I have heard "but all my other friends have seen Freddy v Jason, why can't I?" And so I do allow them to see some movies (though not that one) that have violence in them. But I pick and choose which ones, based on plot content and gore factors (and I watch with them so we can discuss what they are seeing). However, I would be even less inclined to let them watch sexually explicit movies because I expect them to be far more curious about and tempted to experiment with sex, than they will be with violence.

Wow, George Wendt is posting here ???

My favorite April fool's joke is: "Your fly's up"

A true geek joke (which I'm not going to explain, since that would suck all the humor out of it): Heisenberg got pulled over one afternoon. Police officer asks him, "Sir, do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replies, "No, but I know exactly where I am"

In answer to the thread's title, "Does a bear sit in the woods in a lotus position?"

Latka was played by Andy Kaufman, subject of "The Man In The Moon" with Jim Carrey. Christopher Lloyd played Reverend Jim Ignatowski. Judith Light played the woman of the house in Who's The Boss (I'm 99 44/100% sure). The little girl was played by Alyssa Milano. Up to speed now, CK?

Just throw it out there, A2. The nostalgia priests will decide if it warrants 'nostalgia suspicion'. :blink:

****Posted by Abigail who is feeling too lazy to log Sushi out and log back in :D ***** My vet is of the opinion that pretty much any name brand dog food is good. We use Pedigree, and our oldest dog is now nearly 15. He is now having a lot of problems with his hips - but other than that he is in great health.

Just so's you know we're not ignoring your song, Cowgirl (at least, not ME ), If I Had A Million Dollars was done by Bare Naked Ladies. I was waiting for other people in the class to have a chance.

They have a lot to do with nude women.
