OK, since the Liberals are takin' over the world we need some of this I guess.
So no makin' fun of anyone.
Class over. ;D
how bout we just tell jokes bout em till the election ;)
I got at least a couple of em that could be on a family board :o
Family board? Well, then I don't have any. :-[ ;D
I volunteer ta be a teachers aid. I come up with this little quiz ta set everyones mind right
Yer walkin down the street an see a small boy all of seven with his bike upset an his knee skinned. Do ya say...
A: Quit whinin, things are only gonna get worse from here.
B: Where's yer Mama, looks like you could use an ice cream cone.
C: Dang kid, ya look like ya could use a smoke. I know a gal that could make ya ferget about that knee.
D: All of the above.
I prollly won't be gettin this job, but it never hurts ta try, times er tight ya know.
Leo
or if yer a liberal type, ya fall down on yer knees and ask the good lawd to please get BO elected president, he'll redisribute the wealth and you can have a new bicycle and he'll give ya health care to cover the knee. :o
"A"............it's multible choice I have a 1 in 4 chance of getting it right
If I can't make fun of people and pi-- them off I'll have to find another hobby. I been doing it for over 50 years so far.
We called that sensitivity trainin' that Del was talking about, Cultural Diversity. We had to have 8 hours of it every 2 years.
......'n the occasional, 'Opps. We kilt a prisoner.' special sessions.
Sensitivity 'n diversity class time was productive for me. Sit in there with a legal pad 'n get a couple three stage sets 'n shootin' sequences wrote.

LIT, In this new age of PC Law Enforcement, that Tactile stuff is frowned upon, however ever in the OLD DAYS, It was highly recommened. We refered to it as an "Attitude Adjustment".
this past week my client supervisor and I were discussing purchasing a Segway for use by the officers, she wanted to know about safty so when she presented the Idea to her Boss. She asked, what if someone falls off it and gets hurt. I tolt her if they fall off it, then they were too stupid to work there. She thought I was joking.
She needs to wake up and smell the coffee.
Unfortunately, she is smellin' the coffee. That has to be a consideration of hers. There's 'nuff that'll take gettin' out ah werk, paid, ta screw things up for e'erbody else.
'Oh, boss. I hurt my little self on that nasty thing you made me ride. Workmen's comp, please.'
God help ya if ya hit a poor, innocent citizen with one the things. Until the city settles the nuisance suit they'll be permanently disabled 'n in severe pain 24/7. After they get the check they'll enjoy a miracle 'n fully recover.
They bought a couple of those things, after I quit, to patrol downtown. Where they already had a well trained bicycle patrol. The things are so slow, the best thing to do if someone books is to get off 'n run after 'em. The bike guys will catch 'em.
Bikes and golf carts were her other suggestion, Golf cart is only needed seldom. Bikes are to big inside the building too many people, in the halls. Arcey your right about the lawsuits someone is always looking for the edge. One of these stupid @$$e$ would try to climb steps in it and say there was no warning label on it.
Arcey, they have added 3 wheel Segway's to the fleet down here now, I guess some of the fellers had a problem handling the 2 wheel models, even with the gyroscopes in them to help keep them level.
Trainin' wheels, Cuz?
Inside, good ole right 'n left foot-a-matic motivation is still the best. Don't require yer folks to wear pretty shoes. Deck shoes, available in black, we wore on the sailboats will grab the polished stone floors in offices downtown.
The most effective way to ensure security is puttin' people at key positions. That costs in additional personnel.
I'd pay good money ta watch some fool ride one them one wheel things ta go DOWN a set of stairs.
Supervisors need ta get 'round faster, get 'em a skateboard.
I know a guy who has MS an can barely walk. He got him a segwhatever and I never known him ta fall in 2 an a half years.
It's goofy lookin, but it does the job fer him.
Leo
Good for him.
Old Ken is a tenacious dude.
He get's that thing clippin along at a good pace and can manuver it around in a nimble fashion.

Now, that I'm not required to take it ever two years now, I won't be havin' anymore sensitivity trainin'.
Change of thread name!!
Now we's can have fun :D I definately wanna be teachers aid in this one. Paleeeeze ;D
Leo
LEO, I think you would have too much fun.
OK, question for the class:
If you see someone with a Jeff Foxworthy "You Might Be A Redneck" shirt and they ain't a poor white folk from down south, can you have a T-Shirt made up makin' fun of their culture? ;D
Go ahead, use yer imagination on this one. ;D

They probably won't fit in the trunk either, unless you've got a take down ::) :o ;D
You fellers have no sense of ingenuity. No reason a guy couldn't figgure out a way at least strap up a couple carbines in there. ;D
After Leo's protest, Delmonico re-vaul-you-ates the paper and reduces the grade to a F_ cause Delmonico looked up Toyota Prius and found out what it was.
(He thought it was some sort of SUV at first.) ;D
An F-? Now I feel right at home. Some things never change ;D
Leo
Del, you gotta catch up with the times some ;D Them Prius's are buttt ugly anyway. Their Xd is even uglier than the Honda version of a box on four wheels( can't remember it's name, Dang CRS ::) )......................Buck 8) ::) :o
Just rememberd the name, it's a Honda Element. Both of them are basically a box on four wheels, but the Honda is just a little more easy on the eyes than the Xd................Buck 8) ::)
Box on wheels? I'll see yer Xd an Element and raise ya a Scion :D

I'm cursed with the opposite of CRS. It's called REGDTYEH (remember every G D thing ya ever heard).
You fellow sufferers understand that it aint all it's cracked up ta be. People won't even sit in the same room with me when Jepordy is on. Apparently it's annoying even though you aint tryin ta be a know-it-all. It's a compulsion ::)

They still make the CR-V, Forty. The Element is quite suare looking and has suicide doors. You can open all four and the hatch and take a hose and flush the interior out. Miz Fannie Kickinshoot has one to haul all of her dresses, hats and wigs with.........Buck 8)

Leo
Well, In that case Leo, I'm gonna be waitin' a long time.
Gonna put this here 'cause I doan know where else... got it in tha mail today.
Dear Boss,
I have enjoyed working here these past years. You have paid me very
well, given me benefits beyond belief, supplied me transportation to
every place imaginable. I have 3-4 months off per year and a pension
plan that will pay my generous salary and supply health care and
medicine for my entire family for my life, and after my death, my wife
will continue to draw that salary.
Despite this, I plan to take the next 12-18 months to find a new
position. During this time I will show up for work when it is
convenient. I fully expect to draw my full salary and all the other
perks associated with my current job.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that if my search for this new job proves
fruitless, I will be back with no loss in pay or status . Before you say
anything, remember that you have no choice in the matter. I can and will do this.
Sincerely,
Every Senator or Congresssman running for President.
Every Congressman running for the Senate
Try that at your job and tell me how it works out.
Just read through this thread; the theme recalled to me some (un)fond memories of days of yore. Seems I was always in hot water for speaking my mind. I could tell you a lot of horror stories, but that would sound like I was complaining. Suffice it to say that a lot of "minority" or other sensitive type folks did not like to be around me.
Tensleep, that is a good 'un. I think I'll copy that, and re-do it and send it to all of my elected officials; they haven't heard much from me in a while. At the end, I'll add:
"Oh, yeah, that is your job, isn't it?"
Need to remind them that they are not invisible; some of us still watch, whether we can do much about it, or not.
I did my part today. I voted early.
Yep, asked my boss a while back if I could search for a new job when I was on the clock and come back if I couldn't find one. Got tolt I wasn't a poly-tit-ion. ;D
Oh also a few weeks ago asked if I did a really bad job and got fired if I could have a multi-million dollar severance package. ::)
NOT!

Vote early and Vote often, it's the American Way!
Back in 1948, we had folks vote several times down in South Texas, funny thing was that they had been dead for several years. That's how we wound up with LBJ as our US Senator.
Being as how Halloween and the Elections are coming up we could do a "B" grade flick
"THE ATTACK OF THE ZOMBIE VOTERS"
What is there like 300 million people in this country and only 3 canidates for president and the crippled up one eyed cowboy is only running to keep voters laughing and for the perks

Always wait for the bastard ta fly close so I kin grab 'im by the throat 'n choke some the money he swiped from me back inta my accounts.
You do know that the Eagle is an endangered species.

Don't know how I got to keep a full head of hair. Most of them on Dad's side were gone up the middle by the time they were my age. Must be Mom's side hangin' in there. our seccond oldest( mine) was gone pretty much up top and he's 38. Just shaves the whole thing now, our youngest( mine) still has a pretty full batch up there yet. Of course, all I've got up here is really gray..................Buck 8) ::) ;)
Grey in mine is gettin' worse, lady ant the grocery store gave me the Sr. Discount last night, didn't ask, she just did it, saved me $6, so I didn't hollor and said to wait 3 years.
:D We was just talkin 'bout this yesrterday round here.
22 year old comes out a the bathroom and says "Mom, you gave me a bad haircut". Well Lil don't give no bad haircuts so we had a look. Guys got a serious widows peak goin an a friar tuck deal on the top. Tolt him about ma friend in school who perty much lost it all over night at 16. This did not lift his spirits much, but I ain't in the habbit a strokin' egos.
Mine 'll go someday, but I'm glad it waited at least this long.
Leo
well mine is gettin a spot back there on top in the back, got it sunburned once this summer, first time, I figured one of these days it'd happen, Granddaddy was smooth all on the top, Dad had this spot in the back before he passed away, doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would at one time, it's been gray for a while, I can remember when I was about 16, it was entirely black and thick as could be, ma barber found a (one) gray hair, it's took a long time to get all gray.
one of the things that's bothered me more the last few years is the way it combs, up until aobut 2 or 3 years ago it layed just where I combed it, the last coupla years it don't want to be combed, have to force it to control it. talked to the barber about it, says it happens about the late 50's to most guys, hair starts to dry out and it don't remember where it was combed, oh well, I got plenty of hats I guess.
My part went from the side as a kid to the middle fer several years, an now back on the side again. Weren't no fashion choices on my part (oh damn, a pun) it just happened that way. I just get it wet now and see what happens. If it aint Alfalfa from the Little Rascals, I'm good ta go.
Leo
I just part my hair with a wet washcloth.
How did you guys get from "un-sens-itivitee" to hair loss? Now that is a subject I know something about - NOT. ;D ;D I just measured my chin whiskers; they're eight inches long, or there abouts, and my head hair is hangin' down between my shoulder blades. I am a bit thin on top, though; my scalp is suntanned - but I ain't "bald". This situation runs in my family. Now, color is another thing. If I put on a cap to cover my darker head hair, I can pass for Santy Clause. Only got's a leeeetle bit of dark left in my 'stache. Hair is one fo my "long suits"; I have more hair on my body than a lot of fellers have on their head. ::) ::) :o :o ;D ;D
Lil's oldest is like that. He's a sasquatch. More hair under his armpits than I got on ma chest, an I got alot there. Sometimes I'm UN-SENSE-A-TIVE an tease him 'bout it.
There, I tied it all back tagether ;D

My hair is
gettin' gotten ta be a pain. I don't find a good reason ta cut it off by the spring, it's comin' off anyway 'n I ain't gonna grow it back like this again. Damn near set the mess on fire this mornin' lightin' a cigarette.
Arcey, You need to quit usin' "That greasy kid's stuff".
Did, 'bout '68 or so. Nothin' in it 'cept shampoo 'n conditioner. Without the conditioner I can't get comb thru it.
It was doin' pretty good taday until I took a ride with the windows down 'n the pony tail come undone.
A Pony Tail?
Got the sissiors out and a new blade and did some work on the 'stash before work, was beyond cookie duster, melted cheese don't "dust. Been havin' some rouge ones at the top, go wacky and try to mate with nose hairs. Need to get the daughter to trim the hair. Just shampoo for mine, condictioner on it makes it poofy.
Was talkin' 'bout hair one time on the Lab forum, one of the ladies said I have Micheal Landon hair. ::) Also that I looked kinda like Pa Inalls also. ;D
I just use sham poo as well. Never could afford the real poo ;D
Seems ta work fine.
Leo
and while we're on hair, another problem spot is that damn hair in yer ears, grows as fast as anything else, gotta keep it trimmed, who would'a thought when ya get old, hair'd start growing outa yer ears.
It's ta block out all the noise yer sicka hearin' ::)
Leo
I can remember when I was a kid, seeing all those old men with hair growin' out of their ears. Now, I'm one of those old men. YUK!

I didn't even like red headed kids growing up,

Del...that's what happens when you have hair...bald guys don't have that problem...if you don't have hair it won't fall out. you need to go back to the lab and study some more. ;D
Ain't worried, if it falls out I won't get upset, won't make up lies about why it fell out either. ;D

I get those really crazy ones every now and then. It just appears one day. Super long and pointing straight up.

Nope, and though I don't play bass, I often don't have no shoes. Wore bibs a lot then. ;D
Geez Del, I'm a Buddy Holly fan, an there weren't no Clydes in the Crickets. Think the guy's name was Allison. Yer drivin me nuts here. Mebbe ma new Pa can figgure it out.

Waylon Jennings was in The Cricketts, don't remember if he was playin'' base though.......Buck 8) ::)
Waylon weren't in the Crickets, but he was one of the guys that was sposed ta be on the plane that crashed. He was tourin with 'em, Ritchie Valanz and the Big Bopper. He lost a coin toss and had ta ride a bus--an he got ta live. The other guy in the Crickets name was Maudlin.

Waylon was BK's bass player. Buddy was on a solo tour at the time with out the Crickets. ;D
Jennings was born in Littlefield, Texas, the son of Lorene Beatrice (née Shipley) and William Alvin Jennings. When Waylon was eight, his father taught him how to play guitar, and Waylon formed his first band two years later. During his time working as a DJ, he befriended Buddy Holly. The two were inspired by the music of the Mayfield Brothers of West Texas, Smokey Mayfield, Herbert Mayfield, and Edd Mayfield. When he was twenty-one, Jennings was tapped by Holly to play bass in Holly's new band on a tour through the Midwest in early 1959. Holly also hired guitarist Tommy Allsup and drummer Carl "Goose" Bunch for the "Winter Dance Party" tour.
During the early morning hours of February 3, 1959, the charter airplane carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson (aka "The Big Bopper") crashed outside Clear Lake, Iowa, killing all on board. In his 1996 autobiography, Jennings admitted that in the years afterward, he felt severe guilt and responsibility for the crash. After Jennings gave up his seat, Holly had jokingly told Jennings, "I hope your 'ol bus freezes up!" Jennings shot back facetiously, "I hope your damn plane crashes!"[6]
OK, no Googlin guys (like I can trust ya), what did J.P. stand fer?
Don't know why I remember it, but I do.
Still wonderin where the Clyde comes inta things. It's probably right in front of ma face.

Waylon did a stint as a DJ at a station around Lubbock. They even have a street named after Waylon. Littlefield is west of Lubbock.
Can't 'member the JP right now, try to answer the Clyde thing afore I leave at 5. So simple it is, no Gogglin' either, should I meantion a hound dawg or will that make you think of Elvis, no elvis involved, he was already dead. ;D
JP was another Texan. He was born in Sabine Pass, Texas in 1930. He worked as a DJ at a radio station in Beaumont while he went to college. The JP stands for Jiles Perry Richardson Jr.
All right Pop. I would a bought that ya didn't cheat if ya just gave the name, but all that other info off the top a yer head is a little suspicious. Then again, I been known ta do the same :D
Kin I borrow them keys again?
Leo
I try and keep track of the folks from Texas.
Clyde plays electric bass,
Plays it with finese and grace
Sits on the porch, ain't got no shoes
Pickin' the bass and singin' the blues
Misery loves company,
This ole dog sings harmony,
Tamborine tied to his tail,
You can hear him moan, you can hear him wail,
Jody baby, she got a dollar,
Down the road, you can hear her holler,
Git up Clyde, we got things to do,
That ole dog can sing the blues,
He don't move, he don't flinch
Clyde, he don't move an inch,
Set on the porch, ain't got no shoes,
Pickin' the bass and singin' the blues
Clyde plays electric bass,
Plays it with finese and grace
Sits on the porch, ain't got no shoes
Pickin' the bass and singin' the blues
That set it off. It was Cale. J.J. Cale.
