I drive a JEEP with an NRA sticker on the back, does that count? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hey Ms. Lane: What's NRA stand for (not a knock on actual NRA):

National Right to Affairs
Nobody Remembers Abba
Nevada Rectum Authority
National Rectal Assemblage
Nefarious Relationship Association

Really not that funny but I already had it written before I figured out it was stupid.

he should be shot for that! lol

Easy access to, and illegal abuse of, legal pharmaceuticals. Ruptured latex, accidental needle incursions, increased suicide risk, long work hours, Corvettes, Mercedes, eyebrow hairs, missing implements, elk hunting.

Non-bubbas ain't got it no better.

So jealous...I love the F250. Helluva twuck!!

LM, the Ford Excursion SUV is built on the frame of an F250.

Add to the Texas list:

Waffle House and Dairy Queen


If you love something, set it free. If it comes back its yours. If it doesn't, it never was. You can't make sense of insanity...definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Lisa

I think a risk factor is discussing and KNOWING this much about TRUCKS!!!!!!!!! (cars)

I wouldn't know an F50 from a Honda if it ran me over..

"I drive a JEEP with an NRA sticker on the back, does that count?"

Not if it has one of those "girly" automatic transmissions in it!

Real trucks have clutches and MANual transmissions!

...that pretty much rules out most anything sold in the US for the past 30 years!

"Know how I know you're gay?...... I know you're gay because ...." ..... it's so guy-stupid it's REALLY funnee ..... and soooooo politically INcorrect. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I will have you know, 2Long and BritsBrat, that I am a MAJOR risk factor! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> My Jeep is a REAL TRUCK with a kick butt V-8 superwhatever engine with "burly" wheels and I can outrun any cowboy in any F-150 while putting on lipstick, talking on my cellphone AND swigging my Starbucks Venti Breve' Latte'! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You city people wouldn't know a real risk factor if it bit ya on the [censored]! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Mel<-----REEKS of risk factor!

I'm with Pep that classmates.com and add to that reunions.com are high risk crappola intended to reunite "old lovers" at the expense of the S. blech phooey

Ok being so upset over the state of your M that you can't remember WHERE you are supposed to be driving to!

Oooh and looking at Mel's sig line another big risk fact is being a CA!!

Pep and FF...

I am in total agreement regarding the classmates.com deal...There would be NO Mr. and Mrs. Wondering without that God forsaken website-the slipperiest of all slopes, IMHO...we'd still be Mr. and Mrs. Faithful Wife and Husband...GRRRRR....

Now my high school has it's very own website...now people can hook up with old flames...FREE...I will continue to stay FAR, FAR AWAY, thank you very much! If they only understood what they were doing...I hate to think about how many infidelity casualities that that site may eventually fuel...

P.S. 40 Year Virgin WAS HILARIOUS!!!

Mrs. Dub, my WH's two out of three A's were old g/f's. Both of them got bored with life and looked him up! How sick is that knowing he is M'd? Course, no one held a gun to his head either.

Dr. Sour, old flames are huge risk factors for infidelity.

Yep, Faithful, my old boyfriend did the same thing to me...he even told me that he had known better than to ever contact me while he was still married...no respect for my marriage...What a HUGE red flag that was...I still kick myself daily for not seeing it...But, NOOOO...I continued talking to him, thinking myself immune to infidelity...I even knew, and used to say that marriage wasn't a commitment not to be tempted, but a commitment to never put yourself in temptation's way...I KNEW THIS, and yet I still allowed myself to get caught up...I don't blame the OM, I'm a big girl, I made my choice, as horrible as it was, and now I must live with the consequences...and I am...

Sky diving (If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you), messing with a red-head with an anger management problem (No, I'm not talking about myself, why do you ask?), driving while putting on lipstick, talking on your cellphone AND swigging your Starbucks Venti Breve' Latte'!

Did somebody say HOOTERS

mmmmmmmmm..me likes HOOTERS <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Never been to the restuarant though.

I do have one comment about the restuarant. Those outfits are so outdated - "hello 1985 called, they want their orange polyester short-shorts with naked panty hose look back". Somebody has got to update their uniforms to the 21st century.


Another risk factor (How you should know your Spouse is having an affair) - any gut feeling that drives you to even search and click through to Marriage Builders and then reading and/or posting in the infidelity question (its so sad when they post like 3 infidelity-GQ II posts about the condition of their marriage before they mention, oh yea, and he/she has this friend of the opposite sex that they've been spending a lot of time with...they aren't even fully aware of what led them to post on an infidelity board...God works in mysterous ways).

2long,

Your FC170 reminds me of a Pug!

Lem, you seem to bring the humor out in Everyone!

I am SOOOOOOOOO glad I haven't DRIVEN in Texas lately.

I was amazed 15 years ago when driving down Hwy #75 in Dallas, that the shoulder of the road was used as an extra lane to pass slower cars! And.........I do believe it was always a bada$$ truck doing the passing! Mel what's up with that??????
