w00t! TGIF! Long week but it's finally over, the wife is out of town for a Kolache contest and I have a guild raid of Molten Core this weekend (if you know what that means without googling it, you need to get a life). So let's get this going, shall we?

Cartoon Law II

Any body in motion will tend to remain in motion until solid matter intervenes suddenly.

Whether shot from a cannon or in hot pursuit on foot, cartoon characters are so absolute in their momentum that only a telephone pole or an outsize boulder retards their forward motion absolutely. Sir Isaac Newton called this sudden termination of motion the stooge's surcease.

The one exception to this law is the Roadrunner.

Hmmm. Put quotes around the term and you find this thread.

Who knew that the Families For Russian and Ukrainian Adoption would have an official Friday Silliness Thread?

This is a first for some time. I'm actually up early enough before work to post a joke to the OFST.

How many Big XII students does it take to change a light bulb? Well...

At Kansas State it takes two. One to change the bulb and one more to explain how they did it every bit as well as any Big Ten or SEC school.

At Texas A&M it takes three. One to change the bulb, and two to phone a friend at Texas Tech and get instructions.

At Colorado it takes four. One to screw in the bulb, and three to figure out how to get high off the old one.

At Nebraska it takes five. One to change it, two to talk about how Tom Osborne would have done it, and two to throw the old bulb at Oklahoma students.

At Baylor it takes six. One to change it, two to mix the drinks, and three to find the perfect J. Crew outfit to wear for the occasion.

At OSU it takes seven, and each one gets credit for four semester hours for it.

At Kansas it takes eight. One to screw it in, and seven to discuss how much brighter it shines during basketball season.

At Oklahoma it takes ten. Two to figure out how to screw it in, two to buy a Sooners lamp, and six to phone a radio call-in show and talk about how John Blake is too stupid to do it.

At Texas it takes fifteen. One to screw in the bulb, two to buy the Skoal, and twelve to shout, "HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!"

At Missouri it takes 100. One to change it, 49 to talk about how they do it better than KU, and 50 who realize it's all a lie.

At Iowa State it takes 80,000. One to screw it in, and 79,999 to discuss how this will finally be the year they have a good football team.

At Texas Tech it takes none. There is no electricity in Lubbock.

Woo Hoo, top 500!

For his birthday, little Patrick asked for a 10-speed bicycle. His father said, "Son, we'd give you one, but the mortgage on this house is $80,000 & your mother just lost her job. There's no way we can afford it."

The next day the father saw little Patrick heading out the front door with a suitcase. So he asked, "Son, where are you going?" Little Patrick told him, "I was walking past your room last night I heard you telling mom you were pulling out. Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming too. And I'll be damned if I'm staying here by myself with an $80,000 mortgage & no bike!"

Redneck IQ Test
I am sick and tired of hearing about how dumb people are in the South. I challenge any so-called smart Yankee to take this exam:
1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will support a 10 pound possum.
2. Which of these cars will rust out the quickest when placed on blocks in your front yard?
(A) '65 Ford Fairlane
(B) '69 Chevrolet Chevelle, or
(C) '64 Pontiac GTO.
3. If your uncle builds a still, which operates at a capacity of 20 gallons of shine produced per hour, how many car radiators are required to condense the product?
4. A woodcutter has a chainsaw, which operates at 2700 RPM. The density of the pine trees in the plot to be harvested is 470 per acre. The plot is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches. How many Budweisers will be drunk before the trees are cut down?
5. If every old refrigerator in the state vented a charge of R-12 simultaneously, what would be the percentage decrease in the ozone layer?
6. A front porch is constructed of 2x8 pine on 24-inch centers with a field rock foundation. The span is 8 feet and the porch length is 16 feet. The porch floor is 1-inch rough sawn pine. When the porch collapses, how many hound dogs will be killed?
7. A man owns a Tennessee house and 3.7 acres of land in a hollow with an average slope of 15%. The man has five children. Can each of his grown children place a mobile home on the man's land and still have enough property for their electric appliances to sit out front?
8. A 2-ton truck is overloaded and proceeding 900 yards down a steep slope on a secondary road at 45 MPH. The brakes fail. Given average traffic conditions on secondary roads, what is the probability that it will strike a vehicle with a muffler?
9. A coal mine operates a NFPA Class 1, Division 2 Hazardous Area. The mine employs 120 miners per shift. A gas warning is issued at the beginning of the 3rd shift. How many cartons of unfiltered Camels will be smoked during this shift?
10. At a reduction in the gene pool variability rate of 7.5% per generation, how long will it take a town which has been bypassed by the interstate highway to breed a country and western singer?
I betcha thought that test was gonna be an easy one, didn't you? It's okay if you didn't do all that well. Just goes to show you... There's a hole heap of things that big city book learning don't prepare you for in this life.
As an added bonus for taking the "REDNECK CHALLENGE" here's some Southerly advice that may come in handy down the road a piece... Next time you are too drunk to drive, walk to the nearest pizza shop and place an order. When they go to deliver it, catch a ride home with 'em.

Silliness!!!!

Cheech & Chong at the Drive-In

Cheech & Chong go to the drive-in with a bunch of friends in the trunk of the car.
Chong breaks the key off in the lock of the trunk. “Oh wow! You’ll never guess what happened.” “Uh, you broke the key off in the lock” “How’d you know?” “Oh, man did you really?” “Yeah, I must’ve turned it the wrong way because it broke right off in the lock.”

Chong eventually goes to the snack bar to try to get a crowbar to get the trunk open.

Cheech says, “I should’ve gone with him, I gotta go to the bathroom.”
Car door opens.
“Oh, there’s nobody here” Sound of zipper opening and then liquid hitting the ground.
“Ohhhhhhhh. Heh, heh,heh,” is heard as the sound changes from liquid hitting the ground to liquid hitting sheet metal.
“Hey, it’s raining out here you guys!!! (Sound of muffled voices shouting obscenities and banging on the trunk lid.) “It’s coming down like cats and dogs!!! It’s a cloudburst!!!”

Cheech finishes answering the call of nature and gets back in car…..

Here is proof of inflation and the adage "the difference between the men and the boys is the price of their toys".

True story.

Two days ago I pulled down from the overhead of my garage a 1966 Murray banana bike that I got new for Christmas when I was 7. (Only toy I didn't destroy, I call it my antique.) Cleaned it up and pumped up the tires so that I could ride it in front of the house with my 4-year old daughter on her bike.

The bike cost about $30.00 new in 1966.

Right before putting it away, my wife saw me sitting on it next to our new $30,000.00 boat and made the statement about the price of the toys.

Big difference between man and boy.

BTW, the bike is still in good shape.
