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.
Ain't none of it gonna happen anyway. justjoking.
I LOVE WEATHER!!!
I actually collect pictures of interesting weather stuff...
As retired USAF WX guy - did you work within the FSS system as a civie?
They manage to get undressed without compromising their modesty and they get into bed to try to sleep.
After a few minutes she says, "Honey, it's kind of cold in here. Could you get me an extra blanket?"
He replies, "Sweetie, we're only two weeks away from your wedding night. Do you think that, maybe, just for one night, we could pretend we already ARE married?"
She has a sort of impish tone to her voice when she replies, "I think that might be OK."
Good," he says. "Get up and get your own d@mn blanket."
Shalom.
Engineering Terms - Top 20 Engineers' Terminologies:
A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT APPROACHES ARE BEING TRIED - We are still clueless.
EXTENSIVE REPORT IS BEING PREPARED ON A FRESH APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM - We just hired three kids fresh out of college.
CLOSE PROJECT COORDINATION - We know who to blame.
MAJOR TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH - It works OK, but looks very hi-tech.
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS DELIVERED ASSURED - We are so far behind schedule the customer is happy to get it delivered.
PRELIMINARY OPERATIONAL TESTS WERE INCONCLUSIVE - The stupid thing blew up when we threw the switch.
TEST RESULTS WERE EXTREMELY GRATIFYING - We are so surprised that the stupid thing works.
THE ENTIRE CONCEPT WILL HAVE TO BE ABANDONED - The only person who understood the thing quit.
IT IS IN THE PROCESS - It is so wrapped up in red tape that the situation is about hopeless.
WE WILL LOOK INTO IT - Forget it! We have enough problems for now.
PLEASE NOTE AND INITIAL - Let's spread the responsibility for the screw up.
GIVE US THE BENEFIT OF YOUR THINKING - We'll listen to what you have to say as long as it doesn't interfere with what we've already done.
GIVE US YOUR INTERPRETATION - I can't wait to hear this junk!
SEE ME or LET'S DISCUSS - Come into my office, I'm lonely.
ALL NEW - Parts not interchangeable with the previous design.
RUGGED - Too heavy to lift!
LIGHTWEIGHT - Lighter than RUGGED.
YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT - One finally worked.
ENERGY SAVING - Achieved when the power switch is off.
LOW MAINTENANCE - Impossible to fix if broken.
Freudian slip of sorts?
Workday is over. Maybe return when I get home, if it rains again and I can't mow.
It's been real
It's been fun
Heck, it's been REAL FUN!!
Gone fishin', instead of just a-wishin'.
I don't think it's defending LadyJag, I think it's more of a defense of what actually happened last friday... (yes she may have gone overboard, but had members a certain gender not cried foul, and griped and moaned, then none of that would have happened.) Either way last week was a big mess. For the record - I have no problem with Cheesecake, as long as us ladies can post our beefcake!
I know that, so was I. Your wife and my husband would kill us if we did!!
Well, I guess that's OK for you - provided she'll pay her tab!
Ayup.
Somebody DO something.
Stop this crazy seriousness before someone gets hurt!!!
Clowns. Give us clowns...
Female clowns...
In wet T-shirts...
Oops - that's how I always get in trouble.
Shalom.
According to a recent survey, men say the first thing they notice about a woman is her eyes. Women say the first thing they notice about men is that they're a bunch of liars.
LOL great pic!
I retired at Beale AFB, Marysville, CA and worked for a contractor for the NWS at the Yuba County Airport for 6 months (They just had the EAA fly-in there last week - John Parker's "Blue Thunder" set a speed record) and then I moved up here to Galena, Alaska working for a contractor for the Air Force.
So, no never worked at an FSS...but close! :-)
C-ya! have a good one!
Please NO clowns....they scare me. ;)
