Sheep wrestling! That's hilarious! :rofl: :rofl: Oh! the things you get up to, Tsu! Sometimes I think Ivan should just follow you around with a video camera! Have we ever seen you on one of those "Funniest Home Videos" shows? :biggrin:

Not a CHANCE! I don't let any kind of camera anywhere NEAR me! They steal my SPIRIT! :rofl: :rofl:

The only picture of me that I allow others to see is the one I posted in the Member Photo thread. (My friends snuck a shot of me while I was waterskiing - I'm the speck at the end of the rope in front of the spray of water. It was my 50th Birthday Party Picture. Wish they'd got a shot of one of my rooster tails! I was shoulder-skimmin' THAT day! WOOHOO! :wink: :biggrin:)

DO NOT sit down on top of the jet-boat wake while waterskiing.
(Unless you really WANT a 50-70mph enema - or douche/enema combo if you're a woman! - !)
Not a pretty picture...

One death is a tragedy, one million deaths is a statistic.

Ideas are much more dangerous than guns, we don't let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have Ideas?

You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.

A man falls into a hole and can't find a way out.

He sees a doctor passing by and shouts out "doctor, help me please."

The doctor, writes out a prescription, throws it in the hole, and walks away.

Later, he sees a priest passing by, and begs for help.

The priest writes out a prayer, throws it in the hole, and walks away.

Finally, he sees a friend passing by, and asks him for help. The friend immediately jumps into the hole. The man says to his friend : "Why did you do something so stupid ? Now we're both stuck here."

The friend replies : "Yes, I know what it's like to be down here. I've been here before, and I know the way out."

Want to hear my jet ski experience? It was the first time I ever tried riding one. Everyone was giving me pointers telling me to sort of lie down behind it and grab the handlebar, give it some gas, then carefully stand up. Sounded easy so I got into position, gave it some gas and the jet of water whipped my shorts down. I reached back with one hand to retrieve my shorts from my ankles and accidently gave it more gas. The jet of water whipped my testicles down around my ankles.

You got that last one wrong. I thought it was: Today is a good day to die.

I can't do it. I was going to attribute that quote to jimmy's cat. but that would have been going over the line.
