I think Astro is going to be history. Get yourself ready to be flame-broiled.

Your only hope is to go into a rant and upset as many of your supporters as possible with much poking of sharp sticks into sensitive areas and bludgeoning of heads with heavy stones. Then you stand a chance of not winning funniest member. Unfortunately, you would probably lose the community spirit award forever. The volcano gods show no mercy.

virgin? i only know of one and it flies away as soon as one gets aboard.
I know where to go to find virgins. In front of the Library in NYC, you will find a pair of lions. These lions are trained to pounce upon any virgin that walks by.

Ok. Here is my shot at irrelevant humor:

What do you get when you cross a mosquito and a mountain climber?

You can't! A mosquito is a vector and a mountain climber is a scalar!


(This is one of those jokes that you don't get and suddenly start laughing the next morning.) Unless you are a member of PF of course :biggrin:.

It's almost volcano feeding time...

That looks more like a flaming mole hill than a volcano.

Aw man.. we've been doing it wrong.:redface: We're supposed to be throwing in virgins. No wonder Danger and Tribdog got coughed out like furballs.

I wouldn't taunt it if I were you.

Fess' up MIH! That was picture of your Junior High Science Project! A little PhotoShopping goes a long way! If there had been a team of volcano-appeasers on the peak preparing to throw a virgin into the caldera, I might have been convinced. FAKE volcano!

Looks like the National Geographic couldn't find a picture of the real volcano and thought that sticking a flare in a mole hill with some dramatic back lighting would do the job :smile:

That's not real! The victim has to be bound and be tossed in by a rather large crowd-surfing party with drums, chanting, and stuff. The volcano gods will not be satisfied by such a lame effort and we will all suffer the consequences. Perhaps a MIH sacrifice would suffice, or maybe MIH and Moonbear. I'll miss you both but for the common good... bye!

heh. No way, Jose. Moonbear and I have immunity :approve:

I wonder if the volcano likes spicy food. I figure with all that hotsauce and salsa you eat... :devil:

Sorry. This is just an urban legend. College campuses are not a good place to find virgins. This urban myth is debunked here.

When I think of all the hours I've wasted at the NYC public library.

I'm too hot for the volcano, and it would spit me right out to avoid heartburn.

We could dump in a truckload of Tagamet before we throw you in. :biggrin:

That might work, but there's still the virgin thing. How do you undo 40 years of non-virgin-type activity? :wink:

This works every time.

I guess those could prevent future participation in unvirgin-like activities, but the bloodthirsty volcano gods would still know about my past. (How DO they know?)

Volcano gods prefer women 10:1, so if we can't find a PF sister who is a virgin, we should pick one or two pretty ones to toss in that haven't had sex for a while. Close enough!

And the rest of us are starting to wonder how a photoshoped science project has this kind of power.

I assume that the PF volcano is the secret underground lair of the PF Mentor Palace? Is SpaceTiger still scrubbing the bathtub with Lysol? Or did you get another bathroom that is not unisex anymore? I'm confused.

:rolleyes:

It seems like a terrible waste to sacrifice a perfectly good virgin to a flaming leaf pile. So Astronuc, looks like you're a go after all! :biggrin:
Then again maybe not. I've been married 25+ years, so that makes me a eunuch. I don't think I'll even get to the qualification round.

Leafpile or flaming volcano, it would be nice to put it out before G01 uses it to set fire to the place.

Do we still have that fireproof plating from when Evo moved? That would be nice.

To paraphrase W, you misunderestimate Evo. If she ever had any fireproof plating, it was probably constructed of thermite. Not that there's anything wrong with that... :rolleyes:

If I remember correctly, while she was gone, we just covered everything with big granite slabs.

Thats where the big pile of scorched granite over in the career help section came from.

Those look like mighty dull and mighty scorched scissors. Did you play scissors/paper/rock with them on the PF volcano?
I threw the rock and the paper into the volcano. A pair of dull, rusty scissors is far superior. They are the favorite weapon of all the savage island tribes, who often fasten them to the ends of pointy sticks. It's the perfect tool for herding potential sacrifices into the fiery pit. The tribes experimented with knocking out sacrifices with rocks and dragging them, and binding them in laws and contracts on paper, but they ended up sticking with the scissors in the typical savage tradition as it produces the most pleasant hooting and jeering effect and promotes a sense of cooperation and participation from all involved.

It looks like someone's leaf pile caught fire and Evo is trying to put it out with a penguin.

:smile:
 
  • #86
I wonder whatever happened to tribdog?
 
  • #87
and the pengwuino? And I wondered about cyrus, but cyrus has been showing up lately - now and then.
 
  • #88
He has been gone awhile.

Greg is probably going to ask us to niominate members in a week or two. He usually wants 5-6 nominees.

This is your last chance to be funny people. :devil:
