This am, I was watching the news, where they were interviewing this big burly guy in front of the wreckage of his trailer home after a tornado had ripped it apart.

He was tapping a pack of cigarettes against his palm, 2 extract one, and said:

"The Good Lord wanted it, and he came and 2k it, and there ain't nothin' anybody can do about it."

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I loved the guy's atti2de, and his colloquial way of saying "no sense fretting over what happened, time to move on and rebuild."

I wonder if they had filters.

Hey 2long,

I was telepathically notified last night, while arbitrarily watching "That 70's Show" that I won the MB music verse talent contest.

Yes, that's right. I won, you lost.

I'm just wondering when I can expect your Model T? Planning a road trip next week and would really like to have it before Thurs.

Oh dang, I forgot to let Pep know I'll be needing her freshly laundered Beatles T-shirt as well.

I'll just bank the SH session until after someone makes an honest woman out of me.

K?

Aha!

It's a Model "A", not a T.

...so you can have the T any time you want! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

...but I think the prize was just a ride. And if you 2k it 2day, you'd have 2 hold your door shut, 'cause the latch broke and it'll cost me $200 bucks 2 have it fixed (unless i do it myself, then it's probably more like 2 bits).

And seven years, if you are anything like me.

Don't worry, FF, he's on the radar. He's being tracked.

I think the contest was just a ride! Maybe the good Lord needs to bop WATchamacallit on the head. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

As far as the trailer guy with the pack of smokes -

one of the best parts of life is finally getting to a place where you just take things in stride.

..."and that's just the way the wind blew, not much more to say about it than that"

Sure is a peaceful way to live.

I was going 2 edit that and add something involving copious amounts of time, with a "2" for effect, but you beat me 2 it!

Oh, I don't mind a bit, 2.

Stay on your toes and watch your back...

BTW, did the trailer guy have a scraggly beard?

Ummm excuse me, but it was offered as a prize in a contest which I sense that I won.

Makes no difference to me if your hands are cold, I still won it.

I suggest that if you have a problem with it, you take it up with WAT.

I don't want your broken down old Model car anymore 2long, just the T-shirt! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, I was wondering if our brother 2Long was ready to testify. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

... all things in their time...

Hey 2Long! On another topic...


IT'S STILL A PLANET. BECAUSE WE (ordinary folk) SAY SO!

Pluto is Pluto. Whatever it is, it is. Classifying it doesn't change anything. This is not science.

It's just a plot to force all the school systems to discard 20 million textbooks and print another set.

<rant off>

And furthermore (Ok, still ranting) science and language are two different things. If people want to call something by a certain name, that's what it is. The name is not the thing. The thing is the thing. KWIM?! Does the whole world call a zit a "dermal eruption".

It's now a "dwarf" planet according to our news.

Weaver, I believe Tucktummy's entry in the song contest was just a tad better than yours. So, sorry, but she gets to pry the t-shirt out of Pep's cold dead hands.

I personally think the prize should have been a cruise around the Bahamas on WAT's yacht.

I love the "dwarf planet" designation, because it means that we have thousands, maybe tens of thousands of "planets".

Or:

We have 4. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.

Jupiter, Sa2rn, Uranus and Nep2ne are all "giant planets."


Besides, I met Clyde Tombaugh on at least 2 occaisions. Really cool dude, he was. And he found Pluto and he called Pluto a planet, so it's a planet. Dwarf, Diminutive, whatever. Planet!

It's got 4 moons, 2. Ol' Earth ain't got 4 moons.

Well I haven't read this whole thread yet but Weaver....what have u been smokin'?

That line about: [color:"blue"] Ummm excuse me, but it was offered as a prize in a contest which I sense that I won.

Makes no difference to me if your hands are cold, I still won it. [/color]

Sounds a bit like WS babble 2 me. LOL!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> I mean really.... u sensed you won that contest? U realize that contest was given by a guy who wants to live in a boat, impersonates Shrek and hates small obnoxiou dogs. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I wouldn't trust him to sell me a car much less run a contest. LOL!!!

Sorry Weaver, u r gonna have to start your new lyricist (is that a word? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> ) career someplace else. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Now 2L, where's the pix on that model A?
Pep...... that shirt is made just for you. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Believer...... is that Harley still running? Hope the OW isn't on it. I'd be <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

As for the guy on Lousiana..... I feel for those people down there. It sure looks like a war zone. We have been monitoring them here and as each one heads towards land, my heart just drops. Right now there's a whopper in the pacific and it appears to be headed to Guam. The eye alone 'looks' bigger than our island. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Aloha,

Um, Orchid, Weaver is from the south. That makes her a lyricer, prounounced "LEER-ick-er".
