Moonbear, bet you 20p that you can't lick your elbow...

No way! My arm was sore for three days the last time someone posted that you can't lick your elbow and I was determined to find out if I could. :-p

My big toe is also longer than the other toes. I read somewhere a long time ago that a "big" big toe helps you to sprint.

I can lick the inside of my elbow. That counts.

My toes all progressively go down in length with the big toe the longest.
If you'd cover them up at night, they wouldn't be malformed. It's probably frostbite.:-p

I would like to try a couple of odd things with your body... :wink:

If you're getting that close anyhow, might I suggest an alternate target?:-p

Evo said:
I've noticed that the majority of people have a second toe (the toe next to their big toe) that is as long or longer than their big toe. Mine is shorter. My toes all progressively go down in length with the big toe the longest.

Anyone else with toes like this?
Yes! Mine too. :smile:

Well, I might have suggested the same until you told me about the flippers. I'm a bit of a bigot when it comes to dating within my own species. :-p

Well, I tried that ursine canine thing, and that just didn't work out well, so I'm going to just stick with other bears for now. Besides, I need warm and fuzzy, not cold and wet mammals in bed with me.

It's not that easy being green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that

It's not easy being green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky

But green's the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean, or important
Like a mountain, or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be


I wonder if Kermit got any lovin', besides the extensive physicals by Jim Henson. I'd have to agree with him, It's not easy being green.

Well, if he didn't, it was his own fault the way Miss Piggy had the hots for him! :-p

It's kind of hard to concentrate when your concealing Jim Henson's spare car keys. How do you break that news to your girlfriend?

Ah-hah! So some are into sheep, others into bears, and I like swine. :smile: BTW my current avatar is compliments of Danger, and HE is the one who informed me that Mark Twain was the author of my signature (thus revived).

You don't. Whatever experimenting you did when younger should be locked away and never shared with anyone (unless you think she might be into that). :biggrin:

So this high-brow woman walks into the deli and asks for the biggest salami in the place. The butcher shows her a few and she selects a fine 4 kilogram specimen. He then asks if she wants it sliced. "What do I look like," she snorts, "a piggy bank?" :-p

That took two readings before I got it. Sometimes the ones that take a moment get the best laugh! :smile: :smile:

I'm still having a bit of trouble with the fuses on these things. Maybe I should switch to electronic timers... :redface:

It's not your fuses Danger. I just forgot to flip the switch to Danger mode before reading the post. I should have guessed the premise before I read the first word.

If I may reference one of Hypatia's comments to me, what's that about a pot and a black kettle? If you were truly as sweet and innocent as you'd have us believe, you'd still be trying to figure it out. I mean really, if Moonbear took that long, what does that say about your mind? :-p

Moonbear said:

Yeah, I know the feeling. That's why I cut down on my nocturnal visits to Evo. :bugeye:

Yes, you should have. Shame on you. :biggrin:

I still don't get it. Someone explain it. I bet it's one of those things that I got but didn't get the humour in it.

We'll explain it to you when you're older.

(I sure wish I had written down all the questions I asked as a kid that got that answer; it would be fun to go up to mom with the whole list now and ask them again, just to see how she'd react.) :smile:

I'm sure that you can remember the salient ones if you really apply yourself. Just think of what you wouldn't want your kid asking... :devil:

Oh, I know the general gist of what those questions were, just was musing that it would be fun to have saved up the list since she said she'd tell me when I was older. :biggrin: Actually, most of the time, I think it wasn't that embarrassing, just jokes that were said in my presence that I didn't understand and wanted to know what everyone was laughing about.

I was a bit younger than that when I wasn't getting those jokes, and nobody noticed if I wore a dress. :smile:

Since SOS reminded me of this last night, I might as well toss it in now.

So typical of guys--everything must be "improved" upon, even if it isn't needed, and preferably if it will put your life at risk. :smile:

Probably "Holy ****, that's a loud seagull."

First, I NEED my M1 Abrams wheelchair, and it doesn't put my life at risk (don't forget the inflatable devices, er..um air bags), and if people get out of my way fast enough they will be just fine too. :-p

Alright... but I still think that there should be some kind of steering system.
 
  • #3,542
I'm Back! :smile:

And you people (danger, SOS, Moonbear, Evo, Etc.) have a lot of explaining to do.

franznietzsche said:
You get hit on by artman too?
I have never hit on you franz. :eek:

But that is a particularly nice shirt you have on today.:biggrin:

No time to read right now. I'll check back later.

Thanks for channelling me while I was away Huckleberry. :biggrin:

I don't know about that, Danger. I'd rather have a rocket coming at me than a guided missile. Some things are better left to fate. I'd rather not have mine be 'crushed to death by M1 Abrams wheelchair.'

Uh huh. Pirate sugar? I think I've got some reading to do.

And Evo! Dressing sweet little Franzbear in a beaver pelt to go beaver hunting! Really. You should no better than that.

Beavers are out of season. :biggrin:

I dressed him as a beaver? (have no memory of doing this) Although that is brilliant. :approve:

Are you referring to the merkin? See Ivan's post #90. :smile:

Right--there are no brakes either.

My pleasure. Do you think there is enough room for the two of us here? Might be time for Artman to take a more permanent vacation. :devil:

Ofcourse not. Need all the space you can spare for a kickin' sound system and those green apple martunis you gals are always talking about.

Exactly! One must have priorities in order, such as a cup holder for my green apple martini. :biggrin: I'm still working on the sound system. I was using a headset with an ipod, but it gets in the way of my night vision goggles.
