"Wayne's World" was fun--esp. the Queen song scene :)
He's talking about Austin Powers now.
LOL!
"This means something. . ."
(--scene in "Close Encounters" where the mashed potatoes are piled in the shape of Devil's Tower)
LOL -- had forgotten about that scene...
LOL!
"(Can you whisper it...?)"
Well...OK..it's old, but still funny...I think it was funnier when Alaska became a state, but still...
A Texan goes to Alaska to see what all the fuss is. After a few days, he thinks he can get a better grip on things if he goes to a bar.
His Southern Twang marks him as a greenie, so the bartender tells him that in order to be TRULY accepted in Alaska, he has to do three things: He has to drink a quart of whiskey without stopping, he has to make love to an Eskimo woman, and he has to wrestle a polar bear.
Thinking this is kid stuff (he's from Texas, you know) he downs the quart of whiskey and heads out the door.
Two days later, he staggers back into the bar, clothing in shreds, bleeding from multiple scratches, eyes purple and swollen.
He looks at the bartender and says, "OK...Now where is this here Eskimo woman you want me to wrassle?"
I spent the first five years of my life on Douglas Island, across the Gastineau Channel from Juneau. :-)
Queen is just good.
Sorry i am late. Idiot husband set the kitchen on fire.
(LITERSLLY!)
Have it under control now, but i need to play catch-up.
DANG!
Well! That is about all the excitement I can stand, for one day!!
LOL!
(Sorry! Fires, no matter how small, are not funny.)
My hands are STILL shaking!
The boy AIN'T bright.
Your Texan in Alaska joke:
That's a good joke!
"Your Texan in Alaska joke:
That's a good joke!"
Yah..old but still funny! I have a few more, but....
Yikes! How'd the pyrotechnics happen?
The Boy Genius turned on the oven to heat some stuff he had left over from work.
( this is me, with a perfectly good pot of stew in teh crock-pot...STILL he doesn't want that)
Little does he suspect that he left greasy, desicated calzone in there wrapped in paper from two nights ago.
( I didn't know it was in there EITHER, but i check the bloody oven before i turn it on)
Anyway, he cranks the heat up to about 400 + degrees, and dissapears into the latrine.
Next thing i know is Caitlin yelling at me that "Something is REALLY wrong with the oven", and the're roiling smoke EVERYWHERE, smoke detector going off, and YEAH, there a fire happening because my poor daughter opened the oven to find out what was wrong ( she's a decent cook) and THAT'S when the paper and grease burst into flame!
I dealth with it, the fire's out, Caitlin now knows about "don't give a fire air", and he's still breathing.
Aww, man, I know the feeling. My favorite team is the Spurs. I can't watch them anymore --- I want them to do well. :-)
Bit of a culture shock, no?
Never got there. Only place in Alaska I've ever been is Ketchikan.
KEWL! Scots RULE!!!

Ah. I wasn't in Alaska when it became a state, otherwise, I would be getting oil royalties...
