I was joking around about he misspelling from above. FTW??? anyone? Anyone??? Bueller?

Lights on, nobody’s home.
never explain. it ruins the mystique.
Oh, I like your nuclear disarmament thing btw… Very nice…
Thanks…btw, AC…my family is getting together tonight to set up our trip to Scotland this summer…
Ooh, Glasgow, isn’t it? Have fun…
If you’re in the west you might like Ayr. Historical sort of place, pretty, with islands and caves (Sawney Bean, the cannibal, lived in one of them.) and such like.
Billy Connolly had some ideas for visitors. [LINK] (some swearing)
LOL!!! Yep..Glasgow!! My hubby and I play golf…so I’m hoping to be able to get on some great Links courses…but I’m definitely looking forward to it!!
if you go to st andrews… i’ll be very very jealous…

It’s a ridiculously expensive place to be, tho….
I blame Ronnie Corbett and Bruce Forsythe…
i find it funny that you post about muslim terrorists at exactly 9:11.
anyone else?
hm.. maybe thats not yet funny.
I am amused but I am also a jerk.
you’re gorgeous, with pert buttocks…
And good with your index fingers.
and tongue… otherwise he’d not be able to type…
Definitely did not notice that before, but now I’m laughing and berating myself for having no soul, all at the same time.
Remember when tax cheats were sent to prison and not to cabinet seats?
please use the singular since only one tax cheat is actually getting a cabinet seat. the other two got bounced…
There’s a fourth as of now. Hilda Solis, up for Labor Sec, apparently her husband chose yesterday to decide to settle tax liens against his business that have been outstanding for years.
*facepalm*
How far down in the vetting process is the “Can we see your tax returns for the last ten years” question? Must be right after the “Do you have any illegal aliens as house servants” and “Are you now or have you ever molested a collie” questions….
You mean in the ‘Optional’ section of the quiz…
Makes on wonder about what they “weren’t asked”…doesn’t it?
Seriously. How hard is it for the Federal Government to check on an individual’s tax status?
That implies a level organisation .GOV hasn’t had since the 60s
google 4506-t form… you can request copies of tax returns from the IRS…
QED
Hey, that collie was asking for it…
Yeah, I saw the news on C-Spaniel.
You are doggedly determined to start another pun run, huh?
Oh noes, that terrier-fies me!
What’s that, Scottie?
I think I’ll dasch ‘nd escape to another site…
Quick! Somebody retriever!
Too late: you’ve hounded me out…
Let’s boxer up and bring her back!
Lassie come home!!
Oh, Bull (dog) on you!
Some of us will get together and springer spaniel, so hang on AC!
Wow, you lot really stick to the /pack/.
I’m howling with laughter.
Maybe hounding him isn’t the best way to get him back. D:
*Her
Want me to pinscher?
that’ll get you eternal dalmation
I heard about that on Springer.
Only a basset case would watch that show.
It’s great for the borzoi set.
Careful, Rho…I was just in the bathroom…had to take a shitzu

I think the lol I did earlier in the week is getting even more relevant. [link]
Grarr at dr Tinycat. :p
I love Dr. Tinycat!!!
She’s very cute, but for about six hours she showed up everywhere except for the “home” and “upcoming” pages for me. That did get a bit old.
Really? I must have missed that one.
*hides collie*
Whut?
*stores video in collection to be viewed later with the missus*
SONOFAMOO
*is very discreet with video. keeps for personal use only*
*doesn’t know what “personal use only” equates to; prepares to leave country*
*assures that it means Lynn and I’s eyes only*
Does anyone think that Daschle should get a little more leeway because he was the one who notified the IRS of his own failure to pay? Or do people think that notifying the IRS was an essentially selfish act designed to clear the way for him to work in the Obama cabinet, in the (at the time, seemingly unlikely) event that Obama won?
I think Daschle should be pinned to the wall for being a simpering elitist who rode around in his limo while the world burned. And didn’t pay his taxes until someone noticed because he had been nominated. And is a total douche.
tell us how you really feel…
since i’m sure what you meant to say was
‘assuming that he is in fact guilty of wrongdoing (of which, of course, i have not proof, nor have i personally seen any evidence indicating guilt) then… [insert previously rendered diatribe here]‘
Wow, Froo. I’ll disagree with you on point three, quibble on the details with you on point two. On your first point, you’re beginning to sound like a communist- we should maybe have the same ferocious anger for all people who ride in limos, and have lots of money? Or is it only liberals with money who are elitists?
I actually tend to be okay with rich folk who somehow earned it themselves, but I still feel their wealth should be capped at some huge amount that allows them to live comfortably and provide for their families. On the other hand, I hate hate hate wealthy people who are wealthy because they came from a wealthy background. I don’t see how (for instance) a wealthy scion of a transplanted Massachusetts (sp?) family can find wealth and success despite repeatedly failing at business, just because of his family’s connections; while the kid that washes dishes at my store will never become wealthy, even though he’ll work 12 hour days doing everything needed to keep us running.
Sorry, I’m starting to ramble. Long day.
In terms of ‘Old Money’… often in Europe, the REAL old money is down to one ancestor who bascially was a thug… to quote Terry Pratchett, he’s the on who stuck his sword end in the mud, spat on his hands, pulled it back and with a rallying cry of ‘RIGHT LADS! IF WE DO THIS RIGHT, WE’LL ALL HAVE A BED TONIGHT!’ headed back into battle and won…
The Bushes made their real money carpet bagging, and then dealing with any monster who’d pay them in the early 20th Century….
Mulling on that comment, their method of governance was pretty much the same.
You’ll have to forgive my anger. I’m pissed that since I’ve been born, we’ve had NO ONE who seems to catch the concept of ‘lead by example’. If you’re in the middle of a recession that you either helped cause, or did nothing to fix, GET RID OF THE DAMN LIMO AND DRIVER. If you’re preaching the glory of wind power, PUT SOME DAMN WINDMILLS UP even if they block your home in CHappaquiddick. If you’re in the middle of the biggest spending crisis in years, QUIT FREAKING SPENDING MONEY. If you caused a recession, GET RID OF YOUR PRIVATE JET and GO LIVE IN A SMALLER HOUSE;
-
Is this such a hard concept to get? If I’m struggling to make ends meet over here, then how exactly can I respect someone who is trying to ‘fight for me’ by either giving tax breaks to the rich, not paying his own taxes, or putting through Congress a lobbyist’s wet dream while accusing people of ‘not being non-partisan’?
-
That was directed at more than one person, in case you didn’t catch that.
Behind my name, something to make Frou’s eyes bleed…
Frou, would it surprise you that reading that I heard it in Lewis Black’s voice? To add to that…I agree with you 100%
I was thinking of the late, great Sam Kennison.
I’m just amused how all these people have suddenly discovered the importance of scrupulous honesty now that a democrat’s in charge.
I’ve been pointing this out…
““Are you now or have you ever molested a collie” questions….”
`
A collie? *looks down, scuffles toe on carpet* Not a collie, no.
*gets annoying youtube video uploaded*
Leave Tom Daschle alone!
*snickers*
LOL – just what I was thinking, only you made the perfect rhyme.
Back when gangsters where people you actually considered joining.
Robin Hood reference?
Back then the gangsters were GENTS. GENTS, I tells yer… The streets were safer with them out there… and if you did fall foul… I remember one o’ me neighbours fell afoul o’ the Crays… Ronnie himself turned up. Apologised, but said it’s just business, shook me mate’s ‘and, then broke ‘is knees. Clean. Not sloppy like they do today… And Ronnie sent ‘im flowers…
They kept the normal riff raff at bay because they had rules, ya see…
And the fashion was FABULOUS!!! Tommy Guns had such a beautiful effect when fired from the riding-boards of cars…
This town deserves a better class of criminal.
…and you’re gonna give it to them?
Oh you know it.
Since Capone got put away, all the really good musicians avoid speakeasies. I guess that explains the lack of good music in the pub. Goddamn gangsters requesting Kanye West and shit.
“Kanye West and shit”
Shit = rap?
i dunno why he put the “and” in there. simply writing “kanye west shit” would have sufficed.
Good call.
Ahhhh back in the good ‘ol days when the gangsters paid off the cops!
-
Nowadays the cops have gone into business for themselves by simply ripping off the gangsters and calling it a “bust”!
they’ve been doing that since the CRASH days… they even killed biggie smalls!
*adjusts ubr’s tin-foil hat*
Careful, ubr… next your gonna tell us how the Phone Company killed JFK…;-)
I never did trust that “do you hear me now?” guy. Man that guy is everywhere.
they didn’t shoot tupac though… he’s still alive.
working with Elvis and Andy Kaufman…
Remember when tax evasion landed you in jail (instead of a cabinet promotion).
You’d have to be pushing up a certain type of flower
to miss this comment, above …
Clever, Pitty. I see you rose above the normal pun-run…
Wouldn’t want to soil her reputation…
Or look like I have a narcissus personality.
I have a pun on my tulips, but I can’t seem to pick it…
Don’t be such a shrinking violet…
that’s not really geranium to the discussion though, is it?
Yes, it was a ranunculus thing to say…
I double dahlia to make that pun!
What the phlox?
Hey let’s be friends not anemones.
I love you and your bleeding heart.
Quick! Is there a doctor in the schnauzer?
ack – started my Friday party a little early
there hic
I tried to pun along with you… I think iris to the occasion…
(May be funnier if you say it in an Oklahoma accent)
Before I try, you buttercup your ears.
Poster obviously never lived in a getto. Theres lots of gangstas to be afraid of there if you don’t act right.
Nah…they can’t shoot straight and try to look cool…In Capone’s day, you could splatter ‘em with a Thompson and not get any on your suit…
Dumba**es these days can’t hit what they’re shooting at because they hold the gun sideways and then they can’t run away properly because their pants are falling down. Pathetic.
Pretty much.
I have to tell you, the funniest thing I’ve seen are the kids here in Australia trying to mimic the ‘gangstas’ in the States. They have their sport jersey, a bandana on, with a hat sideways over it. They then slump along like they’re little badasses or something and I just have to shake my head and laugh. Take anyone of these try hards and drop them in the middle of New York or L.A. and they wouldn’t last 30 seconds.

My point to this is, this is the influence Rap has. We now have a world full of wannabe’s.
Eddie, this is going to seem like a weird question, but — I swear you have a different avatar in your actual posts than what shows up in “recent posts” to the side. Am I going nuts or am I right? (I am well aware that “both” might be the correct answer…) If so, any idea how or why?
Well yeah, I switched it back.. I thought Ahnuld looked to much like ubr’s and I thought it could get confusing.
That’s better — I cleared my cache and now it’s the new one both places. It was weird; the old one was still showing up for posts but the new one was out to the side.
wait… are you saying that i look like arnold?!
.
my avatar is a self-portrait i did a while back…
yeah, but no, but yeah, but no, but the dark background, the sunglasses.. it can all get quite confusing.
Offspring’s song “Pretty fly (for a white guy)” is all about wannabe’s. They’re everywhere!!
True, but the wanna be’s down here are even more pathetic then that!
See, I always heard “fly” used in a bad sense, as “sneaky”, or “on the fly” but (just on these sites) I’ve heard it used in a good sense. Is it good to be sneaky or is it another meaning entirely?
Fly
Fly: meaning cool, good, fun, etc. used mostly in the mid 90′s, when the word “phat” was especially popular. (exp-”that dance was sooo fly”)
#
# Dope
Synonomous with fly, cool, etc. Ex. “Yo, those shoes are dope, girl!”
linked…LOL
I’ve never got the ‘sideways hold’ thing. Unless you’re point blank I’d think it was more accurate to spit…
I am starting to luuuurve the pants thing. I can’t even count the number of days which have started out as a “meh” day and then turned into a “wonderfully hilarious” day thanks to little boys (of all ages) who have ended up dropping their pants in very public situations when they need to jog to catch a bus or similar.
.
I really, really hate that so called fashion, but sheeet, they’re funny when they fail. :p
getto is spelled ghetto…
Except when the gost of gengis kahn eats gerkins.
it’s gengis kan. jeez.
It’s “ginger jar.” Jeez.
Jinja ja?
Unless you’re from there.
right, then it’s spelled
ghett me the hell outta hea
Now THAT would be the Boston ganstah’s!
test
(trying on a different quilt pattern. The Swastika was getting to me …)
Hah! My kitty shows up. Whadya know.
cute kitty! your kitty and my puppy (see avie) would have fun
Thanks! More of my menagerie in link.
What kind of pup is that?
the pup in the pic is my border collie. at home i’ve also got a husky/shepherd mix and a random mutt of a tiny ass cat. 100 lbs of dogs, 6.5 lbs of cat.
my tiny kitty looks a little like your b/w kitty, but mine has an all black face. really cute with the white socks and belly though.
I’ve always wanted a border collie. I had a husky briefly,
but she was going to eat the cats (the shelter “loaned” her
to see if she’d adjust and she didn’t) – in good hands now,
though.
Had an Austrailian Shepherd for 11 years…she was a great dog…died three years ago… now we just hang with my English Bulldog, Elvis!!!
we actually rescued our border (petfinder) and she was listed as an aussie. we’d been looking for aussies for a while. when we got the pup it was obvious she wasn’t an aussie but it took a few months until she was more grown to figure out she was a border.
i LOVE my border. she’s hyperactive and still acts like an 8 week old puppy even though she’s 3, but she’s the sweetest dog ever. she’ll cuddle up next to you at the drop of a hat and she’ll play with you all day long and she’s so smart (sometimes this gets her into trouble though).
they’re a lot of work to get trained and the first year is tough because they’re kinda ADD but they’re the best dogs.
my husky mutt tries to eat the kitty too. but the kitty still has back claws so the husky doesn’t do too well. i want to get a rottweiler, but i need to move first.
Now Ward, I think you should leave the Beave alone.
Now June, you know The Beaver is getting older and should know better.
I thought the beaver was getting displayed?
*laughs and makes coworkers think he is deranged…*
Shouldn’t be to difficult, you had us convinced months ago!
Touche’…
Well played, Eddie.
does ANYONE here know how to make an LOL in the poster format that doesn’t blow chunks?
*headdesk*
You could put a link to yours and let us tear ‘em to shreds
i actually think in the entire time i’ve been here that i’ve made like 3 LOLs. however, it doesn’t mean that i can’t spot a terrible rendition of poster format when i see it.
For what it’s worth, I would agree. I’ve done two in poster format [link] but they never made it to the front page.
i actually laughed at your “self pity” poster. nicely done.
Thanks! To bad it didn’t get enough votes.
I got a combination of Yoda and Shatner…
*cue Twilight Zone theme*
They must be working on the server today…
and a hint of vanilla and raspberries
Conquered, worlds are. Destroyed, galaxies are.
But always a woman, a woman always is.
Might I recommend a good bronzer?
*shakes fist at PK*
back when gangsters had musical taste….
Well I wouldn’t say the average public was afraid of Al Capone. Since he set up soap kitchens, and such during the depression. But you sure as hell didn’t want to be on his bad side.
The soap kitchens didn’t go over too well, so he decided to open a chain of laundromats instead.

lol AlCopone; i love him
fillipino gangster are the most notorious than the other gangtah and muslims !!
