[Fierce Allegiance]

TheBigB has given me the go-ahead to put up this weeks OFST. Thanks, B! Hurry back!

Last week we had some rough spots, so R-Q-TEK86 had the following ground-rules suggestion for this weeks thread:

By entering this silly thread, I promise to…

Honor the spirit of silliness. Eat Spam, eggs, Spam, Spam and Spam. Not ask to see any of Jersey Republican Biker Chick’s body parts. Stand on my desk, flap my arms and make sounds like a chicken. Spew milk through my nose at something ArGee posts. Make at least one blonde joke. Post a joke that makes people groan. Ponder the question “Is ‘Civil Engineer’ an oxymoron?” Try to solve the mystery of who ctlpdad really is. Make a reference to AYBABTU. Disavow everything that Howard Dean stands for. Post a “Pearls Before Swine” cartoon (Dog Gone only). Make the guy in the next cubicle wonder what’s so funny. Post a picture of my favorite refreshing beverage. Quack like the Aflac duck. Not post gratuitous cheesecake or beefcake pictures. Tell JimWforBush a joke about engineers. Make a pun. Use “series” instead of “serious” and “hugh” instead of “huge”. Ask r-q-tek86 if all architects are gay. Stand facing the back of the elevator on the way back from lunch. Post a picture that made me snort the first time I saw it. Do a silly walk. Make an obscure reference to “Young Frankenstein”. Ignore this thread.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Thanks, you too.

Them there's Navy see legs.

They look like A PLUS Legs to me!

[Lady Jag]

Thank you! It hurts awful to be called evil when you are not.

Having strong opinions does not make a person evil!

Being and staying strong doesn't, either.

[r-q-tek86]

I stand corrected

Dilemma. Going to Glenn Beck on Ice tonight (11PM show), in Toledo, Ohio. I have 3 extra orchestra pit, center stage tickets.

If anyone here is currently home from Afghanistan or Iraq and would like to be in attendance at the 11PM show tonight, with awesome seats (free of charge 100 percent), let me know.

I hope this is okay with FR. I just don't want such great seats to go to waste and I'd rather not give them away to just anyone.

I figured this would be a great (albeit late) way to thank those who have been unwaveringly serving our country.

I just saw Beck about an hour ago at Anderson's in Maumee. He looks kind of exhausted, but I expect he'll deliver an awesome show tonight.

Here is a quick scan of the complimentary tickets:

If interested, please FReepmail to provide verification. Thank you, JDM

[The SISU kid]

I am 50% Asshole/Bitch.

I am abrasive, some people really hate me, but there may be a group of other tight knit assholes and bitches that I can hang out with and get me. Everybody else? F*** ‘em.

Take the
Asshole/Bitch Test

Bunnies! That's it! Especially bunnies with stuff on their heads.

[HiJinx]

If you don't get any takers, call the local recruiting station or National Guard armory, or VFW hall.

[Lady Jag]

No, they have to have their alleged naughty bits covered.

[luvie]

You got that right, Lady! Stick to your guns! We need stong people here that have opinions that they can and will defend! We sure don't want to be wafflin' weenies like the DUmmies!

For those who've never seen it, the sketch's hilarity probably defies a printed description (it's best to see it for yourself at mknx.com/v/cowbell.wmv). Suffice to say, Will Ferrell, who wrote the skit, plays a band member named Gene Frenkle whose specialty is the cowbell (and whose shirt fails to cover his flopping gut). Walken, ever intense, is the producer who is determined -- good taste and common sense notwithstanding -- to get more cowbell into the song's recording. He urges Frenkle to "really explore the studio space" while whaling away on his cowbell -- which Ferrell does, in a breathtaking bit of physical comedy.

Despite the obvious irritation of the rest of the band, Walken's Dickinson persists. "Guess what?" he says between takes. "I got a FE-ver, and the only prescription . . . is more cowbell!"
