**** OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD **** Aug. 9, 2007

[StarCMC]

Welcome to the
O.F.S.T.
(Official Friday Silliness Thread)

Good morning and welcome to the Silliness!  Lucky9Teen had to be away today and so I'm posting the OFST for her today.  She will be back next week!

Today is the anniversary of the death of Robert Goddard, father of American rocketry, who died in 1945.  Time Magazine proclaimed him a fool for believing that travel in outer space was possible.  I guess some things never change huh?  Goddard proved them wrong on March 16, 1926, when he finished building a spindly, 10-ft. rocket he dubbed Nell, loaded it into an open car and trundled it out to his aunt Effie's nearby farm.  It flew a mere 41 ft. high and the flight lasted only about 2.5 seconds, but with it came the reality of modern space flight.  So Goddard had the last word.

We've all probably known someone who was really smart - I mean book smart.  There was this guy in my Physics class in my senior year.  His name was Sam.  He had perfect grades - 5.0 in all his honors science and math classes.  He was a REAL brainiac.  But one day during Physics class we were all listening to Mrs. Michaels talk about some experiment we were getting ready to do, and Sam went flying off his stool.  It seems that he decided to stick a wire in an electrical outlet and the resulting shock knocked him backwards a few feet and arc welded the circuit.  So here's the question of the day... what's the dumbest thing you've ever seen a really smart person do?

Let the silliness commence!

I’m 1/16th Cherokee. Plus some Dutch, German, and other Caucasian stuff. Evidently that’s not enough to qualify as a minority. ;)

Check in now! Our local tribe (not this one) has a "salary" of 10K monthly for each enrolled member.....sometimes I wish I weren't a blue-eyed blonde guy who resembles George Armstrong Custer.

Maximus of Texas: Stop it! My nipples are hard!

Darksheare: Use acetone on the cyanoacrylate, and that should get things back to normal.

Darks, it bothers me that you know that...

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are 2 theories to arguing with a woman...neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket.

8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for them selves.

We’re baaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!!

It really Friday now, right???

Been a long week. Wife and daughter are away visiting her sister in the Windy City, and it’s been hot (steam room hot) here, 115 heat index.

They come home tomorrow, and the temperature is supposed to go down.

Got to take off this afternoon and clean house. I’m such a slob.

We've all probably known someone who was really smart - I mean book smart.

In Naval Nuclear Power School we had a bunch of guys that could read their notes once and ace every test. The rest of us spent anywhere from 40 to 80 hours a week in extra study time (after regular school hours).

What you found out later was that most of those braniacs couldn't remember which way to turn a valve or where the light switch was. They were 50-50-90.

50-50-90: If there is a 50-50 chance he'll get it wrong 90% of the time.

Pickup Lines

Your body must be a Visa, because it's everywhere I want to be. If you were a burger at McDonalds, you'd be named McGorgeous. Didn't we go to different schools together? I hear your body is made up of 75% water, and man, am I thirsty! God was showing off when he made you. Could you please step away from the bar? You're melting all the ice. Hi, are you here to meet a nice guy, or will I do? You must be a parking ticket, because you have fine written all over you. Excuse me, do you have a neck brace? I think I injured myself when I fell for you. Was your Dad in the Air Force? Because you're the bomb. Can I borrow your library card, because I'd like to check you out. You're more beautiful than 100 pink flamingos on a golf course. Baby, you're so sweet, you could put Hershey's out of business. And speaking of Hershey's, how about a kiss? I don't think a firefighter could put you out. Do you know karate, because your body is kickin’. I think we should be lab partners because you and I have chemistry. I don't know if it's igneous or metamorphic, but baby, you rock. Kiss me if I'm wrong, but don't you want to go out with me? You must be Jamaican, because Jamaican me crazy. If you're here, who's running heaven?
