By request...another OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD! Feel free to vent, post silly jokes, make nonsensical statements, or even IGNORE THIS THREAD. I ask that we all keep our good buddy TomServo in our thoughts, also.
To get things started, a favorite cartoon:
LOL
Smoke em if you got em.
I've heard beaver meat is succulent and delicious.
Jihad Friday!
A skeleton walks into a bar and says to the bartender, "Get me a beer and a mop."
Dang! My dance shoes are at the cleaners. Maybe some body painting would work.
My last one. This one really cracked me up.
Have you ever wondered where and how yodeling began?
Many years ago a man was traveling through the mountains of Switzerland.
Nightfall was rapidly approaching and he had nowhere to sleep. He went up to a farmhouse and asked the farmer if he could spend the night.
The farmer told him that he could sleep in the barn.
As the story goes, the farmer's daughter asked her father, "Who is that man going into the barn?"
"That fellow traveling through," said the farmer. "needs a place to stay for the night, so, I told him he could sleep in the barn."
The daughter said, "Perhaps he is hungry.." So she prepared him a plate of food for him and then took it out to the barn.
About an hour later, the daughter returned. Her clothing disheveled and straw in her hair. Straight up to bed she went.
The farmer's wife was very observant. She then suggested that perhaps the man was thirsty. So she fetched a bottle of wine, took it out to the barn, and she too did not return for an hour. Her clothing was askew, her blouse buttoned incorrectly. She also headed straight to bed.
The next morning at sunrise the man in the barn got up and continued on his journey, waving to the farmer as he left.
When the daughter awoke and learned that the visitor was gone, she broke into tears. "How could he leave without even saying goodbye," she cried. "We made such passionate love last night!"
"What?" shouted the father as he angrily ran out of the house looking for the man, who by now was halfway up the mountain.
The farmer screamed up at him, "I'm going to get you! You had sex with my daughter!"
The man looked back down from the mountainside, cupped his hand next to his mouth, and yelled out.....
"LAIDTHEOLADEETOO"
That was one of the lamest posts I have seen.
I see it stuck in your craw also. ;)
My cousin told me if Jehovah Witnesses come to your door, just throw a handful of pennies at them -- that's all they want!
Dang!
Talk about word placement (good or bad, depends on who you are.)
Maybe we can talk Fiddlstix in to putting on a pot of coffee!
We are very desirous of purchasing a goat to commemorate the birthday of one of our church members. Quite appropriately, this may be considered a new goat in honor of an old goat. We understand that you specialize in dairy goats that are prime for the pasture which fits nicely with someone who is nearly pasture prime. However, we might also wish to consider a goat with a soft coat, as it would constitute a gift of mohair from someone who has no mohair. After all, it would be a much better investment to supply a goat for cashmere rather than mere cash. Why, if it should happen to be sent to an Hispanic country, it could very well be considered fleece Navidad.
Regardless, we definitely feel that our goat should be a dominant force in any meadow. An exceptional lea leader if you will. We certainly do not wish to sponsor a noisy buck goat that is constantly trying to bleat the system. Nor would we tolerate a cheap, floozy type of doe goat that would do anything for two bucks.
Therefore we have some suggestions for your consideration. Should the goat be bound for an African village we would prefer an Angora for Angola. On the other hand, if our goat is bound for Norway, we would have to consider how much we could a fjord to invest. Come to think of it, a Greek dairy goat would make a nice feta compli.
In the off chance our goat is rather contrary; a butt-head if you will, could you let us know if it is of the Ibex-to-differ variety. We are sure that a goat which is constantly getting loose would not be desirable as no one wants an E-scapegoat. Nor do they wish to have some grumpy old goat like an Ebenezer Scrooge that is always saying, "Baaaaaaa-Humbug."
Please don't think we are trying to horn in, but we did sponsor a young goat several years ago at Ohio University. We were quite upset when the students referred to him as the O.U. Kid. Thus we trust you will endeavor to find a nice home for this goat.
Actually a German goat might be good. We could name it Das-ist-Goat or Goaten-Tag or Goat-in-Himmel. But the very best of all in this season, would be a small, miniature dairy goat for The Vatican City for it would be called the Holy Goat that makes baby cheeses.
We look forward to hearing from you and thank you Heifer so much.

Then we shall pay them no heed, and ahall send them packing, off to post to all the "series" threads. Away! Be Gone!
