I see that you and I understand the benefits of thwacking someone upside the head when they say something stupid...

Even if it is online....


;-)

[Salamander]

Actually, it galls me no end that "keyboard gunslingers" mouth off with cracks that they would *never* say if they were face-to-face with the "immediate consequences" of their bravado.

I know and understand full well that anyone *could* conceivably find me via a net search and therefore never say *anything* I wouldn't say in "real life".

People just don't yap off like that around these parts.

Quite a few times in quite a few biker/"good ol' boy" bars, I've seen somebody's mouth write a check their @ss couldn't cash.

[the painful lessons learned by others were not wasted on me]....:))

Either you know God or you don't.
Either you go by the word of God or you don't.

IMO there are tons of folks out there today that are really humanists who consider themselves Christians.
They are often busy trying to remold god in their image.

There's a poll for everything these days.

[Dashing Dasher]

I love it!

And, I totally agree. I'm so amused by the faceless bravado I experience around here.

My favorite is when they call me a liar - that I am making up any/all of my accomplishments.

As if...

LOL!!!

Thanks for the giggle!

I scored a 9 as well. Feels good I'm not into that hippie celeb-promoted junk.

"You model your values on what's most important to you, not on what celebrities are promoting, and you don't stay up to date with the latest trends."

Yes!!!

[driveserve]

They have the best fresh fish in town too! They also sell organic cigarettes next to the vitamin isle. I think they get away with it because the pack has an Indian...oops, a Native-American on the pack.

[Salamander]

I was gonna reply with something relevant but then I saw this;

Can't quit giggling now.

It just struck me funny and totally derailed my train of thought.

[maybe later I'll come up with something a bit pithier...or at least something coherent]....;D

[Dashing Dasher]

Those were old kitchen magnets that were changed... modernized, if you will.

I have about six or seven of them that just crack me up.

The one you saw is my fave...

There are also:
A CLEAN HOUSE IS A SIGN OF A WASTED LIFE
I HAVEN'T HAD MY COFFEE YET - DON'T MAKE ME KILL YOU
RAN INTO MY EX... PUT IT IN REVERSE AND HIT HIM AGAIN

More to come...

[Peepster]

I scored 6, on a scale of 0 to 36.


I am not at all metrospiritual. I don't live in a city, and my religious life is much more rooted in traditional forms and practices than in lifestyle and consumer choices. I model my values on what's most important to me, not on what celebrities are promoting, and I don't stay up to date with the latest trends. Those celebs can go the way of the dinosaur for all I care.

[Alice au Wonderland]

I'm a 10 - 18.

[tuliptree76]

LOL! Most likely you aren't a metrospiritual then. ;-)

[The SISU kid]

It's probably one of those skinny little 80s "Rick Ocasek" ties, isn't it?...:

OUCH! That really smarts.....

8^(

[Salamander]

Thanks DD.
Those things are so sweet and sadistic.
Hysterical...:))

[Salamander]

Huh?
Why?

Those skinny punker ties were the only ones I ever thought were cool...:)

Really? My trainer (at the YMCA now, people, so don't think I am one of these metro-spiritual people because I only had the scent and candle thing on that list) has not let me do that yet. I will have to talk to him some more about it.

[peacebaby]

your trainer hasn't let you do bikram yoga = or just yoga? You should try yoga. It's very good for you. body and mind.

(Sensitive new age guys.)
Who like to dress like Richard Simmons?
(Sensitive new age guys.)
Who are hard to tell from women?
(Sensitive new age guys.)

Who think boxing is upsetting?
Who tapes "Thirty Something" on their VCR,
Who's got "Baby on Board" stickers on their cars, oh,
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Whose last names are hypenated?
(Sensitive new age guys.)
Who like "Three Men and a Baby" a movie I hated?
(Sensitive new age guys.)
Whose consciousness is constantly raising?
(Sensitive new age guys.)
Whose tax free income is amazing?
(Sensitive new age guys.)
Who thinks that red meat is disgusting?
Who's into UFO's channeling, and usting?
Who believes us when we say we've got premenstrual syndrome?
Who doesn't know who plays in the Seattle Kingdome?

Who likes music that repetitious?
(Sensitive new age guys.)
Who likes music that's repetitious?
(Sensitive new age guys.)
Who's concerned about your orgasm? (silence)
Well, I guess it's more important that they have 'em.
(Sensitive new age guys.)
Who carries the baby on his back?
Who thinks Shirley MacLaine is on the inside track?
Who always sings on sing-alongs,
Even when they can't stand stupid sing-along songs?
