Thread Killer Champions: Franzbear & Moonbear

[Huckleberry]

Danger would fit right in down in New Zealand.

 

[BicycleTree]

God is in time. God's knowledge of the future is a prediction based on the past and present. Humans have free will. The future acts of humans are infallibly predictable based on the past and present. God can know the future free acts of his creatures.

 

[Moonbear]

Danger would fit right in down in New Zealand.

Yep, so many sheep there, he won't even need his velcro mittens.

 

[BicycleTree]

Young smokers identify with their future selves. Young smokers are irrational. Young smokers know that smoking causes cancer. Young smokers act without due regard for another person. Young smokers are immoral.

 

[Danger]

ow! If you're cleaning your ear with a q-tip and you hit something solid, you should probably stop, right?

I'm not sure how the US medical community does things. Up here, the consensus among doctors is that you should never put anything smaller than your elbow into your ear.

And if you see the Q-tip coming out the other side, you know you've gone too far.

Your head must be a lot narrower than it looks in your picture. Aren't Q-Tips like 4" long?

And 90% of their methane emissions are from sheep and bovine belches.

That's almost as much as the combined clientele of every Taco Bell in North America!

And Mary had a little lamb.

A lobster and some prunes;
A pint of beer, a piece of pie
And then some macaroons.
It made the greedy waiters grin
To see her order so.
And when they carried Mary out
Her face was white as snow.

If you've ever been in close proximity to a sheep belch, you'd fully understand the severity of this problem!

I'm usually at the other end of the sheep, but that has drawbacks of its own.

Danger would fit right in down in New Zealand.

Oooh... Lucy Lawless!

Yep, so many sheep there, he won't even need his velcro mittens.

Probably not, but I'll pack the gumboots just in case. They might be skittish around foreigners.

ahahah.. ohh.. man..

 

[Huckleberry]

Are the boots for you or the sheep?

I'm usually at the other end of the sheep, but that has drawbacks of its own.

Is this a dare?

Oooh... Lucy Lawless!

Now that I think about it, when she gets excited she kind of sounds like she's bleating.

That's almost as much as the combined clientele of every Taco Bell in North America!

Could be a solution to the world's energy problems. It'll finally give all those hampsters a break.

 

[Danger]

Are the boots for you or the sheep?

Both. That's the whole point of them. You tuck their back legs in so they can't run off.

Is this a dare?

Yeah.

Now that I think about it, when she gets excited she kind of sounds like she's bleating.

I haven't had the opportunity to see her excited, but one can hope.

It'll finally give all those hampsters a break.

Is that a little animal that you put your dirty laundry in?

 

[Moonbear]

I'm not sure how the US medical community does things. Up here, the consensus among doctors is that you should never put anything smaller than your elbow into your ear.

And does anybody actually follow that advice?

It'll finally give all those hampsters a break.

Is that a little animal that you put your dirty laundry in?

LOL! Hamp-sters!

 

[Danger]

And does anybody actually follow that advice?

Not really, but I've seen a couple of dislocations suffered by people who tried too hard.

LOL! Hamp-sters!

Thanks. I figured there'd be one literate member around somewhere.

 

[Moonbear]

Not really, but I've seen a couple of dislocations suffered by people who tried too hard.

At least by pulling that muscle trying to lick my elbow, I learned not to try this one.

Thanks. I figured there'd be one literate member around somewhere.

No problem!

 

[Danger]

Quit trying to get your limbs more flexible and work on stretching your tongue. It could help you out with your clinic duties as well.

No problem!

I can envision Hypatia stalling out on that post for half an hour while she tries to figure out what the joke is. (Love you, Hypatia, but your spelling is scary. )

Aye aye, Cap'n!

I was sort of wondering if Huck would realize the mistake himself. I think it's a regional thing, because I grew up around people who pronounced the name of the critters hamPster as well, so spell it that way too (there's still a subtle "p" in my pronunciation of the word too). Hookt on fonix werkt for me.

 

[Danger]

I've heard a couple of people say it that way, but never seen them spell it like that. It's like those twits down in your country who pronounce 'aunt' like 'ont'. Who the hell are they trying to impress? It's 'ant', dammit. (Although I like Andy Griffith's 'Aint'.)

(there's still a subtle "p" in my pronunciation of the word too).

I don't really care how subtle your peeing is, unless you're in the same room with me.

What's odd is I use both pronunciations, "ont" and "ant" depending on which aunt I'm referring to. "ont" is a New England pronunciation, and my family came from Maine and Massachusettes, but I grew up in NJ, where that variant dies out, so heard both and used both. I remember my mom laughing at me when I wrote a letter to one of my "Ants," and that's how I spelled it. (Yeah, one of the required "thank-you" letters mom made me write for every gift I got.)

 

[DocToxyn]

Your head must be a lot narrower than it looks in your picture. Aren't Q-Tips like 4" long?

After multiple Q-tips are lost, they will eventually line up and begin to exit the other side. It a tricky maneuver, but not unlike cleaning a gun barrel.

 

[Evo]

LOL! Hamp-sters!

I spell it hampster all the time, then correct it.

 

[Artman]

They better not find any of Danger's or Artman's genes!

Ut oh, now my palms are sweating.

 

[Artman]

Wow, I had heard that New Zealand has several times the amount of sheep that it has human population.

You know an awful lot about where to find sheep, Huckleberry. Yes sir, quite a lot.

Are your palms beginning to sweat?

 

[Artman]

Yep, so many sheep there, he won't even need his velcro mittens.

So many sheep so little time.

 

[Artman]

At least by pulling that muscle trying to lick my elbow, I learned not to try this one.

Yeah, I've learned it's just no use to try and lick some of my own body parts myself. You know...like elbows.

 

[BicycleTree]

I have always pronounced "aunt" ahnt, not ont or ant.

 

[Danger]

"ont" is a New England pronunciation

Okay... if it's really a dialect and not an affectation, I apologize to New Englanders. I always saw it as some fake-Harvardesque snootiness, like those stupid little shirts with alligators on them.

After multiple Q-tips are lost, they will eventually line up and begin to exit the other side. It a tricky maneuver, but not unlike cleaning a gun barrel.

I'll defer to your professional medical opinion on this. I figured that they'd just fall into the bottom of her skull and start piling up until there was enough cotton in there for mice to nest in.

I spell it hampster all the time, then correct it.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to just spell it correctly the first time?

 

[Moonbear]

Ut oh, now my palms are sweating.

DocToxyn, stop injecting Artman with your drugs! He doesn't have mouse paws!

 

[Moonbear]

Okay... if it's really a dialect and not an affectation, I apologize to New Englanders. I always saw it as some fake-Harvardesque snootiness, like those stupid little shirts with alligators on them.

Well, for the snooty Hahvahd boys who didn't grow up in New England, it probably is an affectation. If they're pronouncing it "ahhhhhnt" it's probably an affectation.

Though, I guess I'd rather have a dialect people consider snooty rather than one that makes them think I'm a dumb hick.

 

[Danger]

If they're pronouncing it "ahhhhhnt" it's probably an affectation.

That's what I was talking about.

I'd rather have a dialect people consider snooty rather than one that makes them think I'm a dumb hick.

Well, there goes most of the southern US.

 

[Evo]

I spell it hampster all the time, then correct it.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to just spell it correctly the first time?

Then I wouldn't have anything to do.

 

[Artman]

The sweaty-footed little buggers.

 

[Danger]

Then I wouldn't have anything to do.

I have a suggestion or two...

The sweaty-footed little buggers.

That's why they like nice absorbent stuff to live in; it keeps them fresh and dry and they don't slip all over the place when they walk in their sleep.

 

[Artman]

That's why they like nice absorbent stuff to live in; it keeps them fresh and dry and they don't slip all over the place when they walk in their sleep.

That's nice, and even with all those Q-Tips in there, there is plenty of open space for them to spread out and just wander around.


(Uh, MIH isn't around is she?)

 

[Danger]

(Uh, MIH isn't around is she?)

I have a feeling that we'll be most emphatically notified when she shows up. (Luckily, I'll be at work by then.)

 

[Artman]

I have a feeling that we'll be most emphatically notified when she shows up. (Luckily, I'll be at work by then.)

It will probably be embarrassing being beaten up by a good looking woman...


doesn't sound too bad though does it?

 

[Math Is Hard]

(Uh, MIH isn't around is she?)

HEY!
My ears aren't so full of q-tips that I couldn't hear you guys!
Why I oughta k- aw crud! here comes my boss.
I'll deal with you wise guys later!

 

[Moonbear]

HEY!
My ears aren't so full of q-tips that I couldn't hear you guys!
Why I oughta k- aw crud! here comes my boss.
I'll deal with you wise guys later!

How do bosses always know the precise right moment to walk in and interrupt your goofing off?

 

[Artman]

HEY!
My ears aren't so full of q-tips that I couldn't hear you guys!
Why I oughta k- aw crud! here comes my boss.
I'll deal with you wise guys later!

That was close. I better
get out of here!

 

[Moonbear]

That was close. I better
get out of here!

What do you mean you're still here?! The sheep are going to be very maaaaaad that you've been keeping them waiting.

 

[Evo]

FRAP!

I just got my replacement laptop and some of my stuff is missing and it better be replaced. Grrrrr Not to mention I have to get used to a different computer.

Oh, and a helpful hint... do NOT pour hot coffee with amaretto creamer into your laptop. Something about liquid and electricity... Ungrateful computer, it was GOOD COFFEE!

 

[The Bob]

Oh, and a helpful hint... do NOT pour hot coffee with amaretto creamer into your laptop. Something about liquid and electricity... Ungrateful computer, it was GOOD COFFEE!

We appreciate it was good coffee.

Electricity just doesn't have the capacity to enjoy it. I fear to say that electricity will not get charged up about it. It would rather Drain Coal than take coffee.

[Moonbear]

Oh, and a helpful hint... do NOT pour hot coffee with amaretto creamer into your laptop. Something about liquid and electricity... Ungrateful computer, it was GOOD COFFEE!

Uh, yeah, I find that computers are far too unappreciative of coffee. Just because they don't need coffee to get started in the morning doesn't mean they have to cough and sputter and get all stubborn if I try to feed them some. I might not need coffee either if someone could just plug me into recharge me.

 

[Artman]

I might not need coffee either if someone could just plug me into recharge me.

Sure sounds better than sheep. I mean, Whatever are you talking about, Moonbear?


MIH around?

Gotta run. Time to head home. Yeah!

 

[Moonbear]

Sure sounds better than sheep. I mean, Whatever are you talking about, Moonbear?

Well, I was referring to my laptop -- plug it in and it gets recharged.

 

[Huckleberry]

Hey, now this is more like it.

I spell one word wrong and Special Agent Danger from the Canadian Spelling Police jumps all over it. If I knew it was that easy, I would be spelling words wrong all the time. Look around, I do it all the time. Sometimes even on purpose to create another meaning or draw attention to a particular part of a sentence. Sometimes I'm just too lazy to correct myself.

Artman, I don't know much about sheep, but if you hang out around New Zealanders and Australians for any length of time then you'll hear sheep jokes flying all over the place.

Was that The Bob?

 

[SOS2008]

Was that The Bob?

Yep, another hit and run. Speaking of which...

 

[Huckleberry]

It's always funny when someone who almost never posts here just pops in and makes a quick post. I'm so used to seeing the same names in this thread that It surprises me when I see a new one. I forget sometimes that other people are actually reading all this great nonsense.

Yeah you, you know who you are!

 

[icvotria]

Yeah you, you know who you are!

Who, me? I was just passing through

 

[Artman]

Who, me? I was just passing through

Fresh Meat!​

 

[Huckleberry]

This is the place where all threads will eventually meet. Might as well stay here. Pull up a chair and have a dry apple martini. Plenty of room in the RV. And nobody will tell you to wait half an hour before swimming in the pool.

 

[Moonbear]

Who, me? I was just passing through

We really need to put in an alarm system, or set up some sort of nets to catch these hit and run posters.

 

[icvotria]

Fresh Meat!​

[ shakes in her boots... ]
I was in Saigon last year wandering around the back streets totally lost and saw this war vet in full uniform and he said that to me, it made me laugh for ages. I'd been trying so hard not to constantly pretend I was in a naam war movie and then a soldier says 'fresh meat' to me in a mid-american drawl.
