Under the heading "Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight":

**********************************************
These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are (purportedly) things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.


ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning?
WITNESS: He said, "Where am I, Cathy?"
ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you?
WITNESS: My name is Susan!
____________________________________________

ATTORNEY: Are you sexually active?
WITNESS: No, I just lie there.
____________________________________________

ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory?
WITNESS: I forget.
ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot?
___________________________________________

ATTORNEY: Do you know if your daughter has ever been involved in voodoo?
WITNESS: We both do.
ATTORNEY: Voodoo?
WITNESS: We do.
ATTORNEY: You do?
WITNESS: Yes, voodoo.
____________________________________________

ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?
WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?
____________________________________

ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the twenty-year-old, how old is he?
WITNESS: He's twenty, much like your IQ.
___________________________________________

ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken?
WITNESS: Are you shitting me?
_________________________________________

ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: And what were you doing at that time?
WITNESS: getting laid
____________________________________________

ATTORNEY: She had three children, right?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: How many were boys?
WITNESS: None.
ATTORNEY: Were there any girls?
W ITNESS : Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney?
____________________________________________

ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated?
WITNESS: By death.
ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated?
WITNESS: Take a guess.

____________________________________________

ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual?
WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard.
ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female?
WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I'm going with male.
_________ ____________________________

ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney?
WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work.
______________________________________

ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?
WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight.
_________________________________________

ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral. What school did you attend?
WITNESS: Oral.
_________________________________________

ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.
ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?
WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished.
____________________________________________

ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?
WITNESS: Are you qualified to ask that question?
_____________ _________________________

And the best for last:

ATTORNEY: Dr, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for pulse?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive & practicing law.

According to this My new name is Farcus Lizardtushy (I added the "Y" cuz it's more girly) I like it. I think it'll be my Nom De Plume

MY NEW NAME IS IN THE SUBJECT..
DON'T LAUGH UNTIL YOU FIND OUT WHAT YOUR NEW NAME IS.



The following is excerpted from a children's book, Captain Underpants And the Perilous Plot Professor Poopypants, by Dave Pilkey, in which the evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names...

So:- 1. Use the second letter of your first name to determine your New first name:

A = snickle
B = doombah
C = goober
D = cheesey
e = crusty
F = greasy
G = dumbo
H = farcus
I = dorky
J = doofus
K = funky
L = boobie
M = sleezy
N = sloopy
O = fluffy
P = stinky
Q = slimy
R = dorfus
S = snooty
T = tootsie
U = dipsy
V = sneezy
W = liver
X = skippy
Y = dinky
Z = zippy

2. Use the first letter of your last name to
determine the first half of your new last name:
A = dippin
B = feather
C = batty
D = burger
E = chicke n
F = barffy
G = lizard
H = waffle
I = farkle
J = monkey
K = flippin
L = fricken
M = bubble
N = rhino
O = potty
P = hamster
Q = buckle
R = gizzard
S = lickin
T = snickle
U = chuckle
V = pickle
W = Hubble
X = dingle
Y = gorilla
Z = girdle

3. Use the last letter of your last name to determine the
second half of your new last name: a = butt
B = boob
C = face
D = nose
E = hump
F = breath
G = pants
H = shorts
I = lips
J = honker
K = hea d
L = tush
M = chunks
N = dunkin
O = brains
P = biscuits
Q = toes
R = doodle
S = fanny
T = sniffer
U = sprinkles
V = frack
W = squirt
X = humperdinck
Y = hiney
Z = juice
Thus, for example, George W. Bush's new name is:
Crusty Feathershorts.


TOO LATE! *G* I know what you're thinking.. and I already did it! Here's the break down..

Glenn Frey - Boobie Barfygorilla
Don Henley - Fluffy Wafflegrorilla
Joe Walsh - Fluffy Hubbleshorts
Timmothy B. Schmit - Dorky Lickinsniffer (I think this one is my favorite)

12-16-2008, 10:51 PM
Ok, you caught me.. I do.. *G* or did. I think we quit getting them when Jenni out grew them, but Sarah is coming right up behind with the other Dave Pilkey series Dumb Bunnies. It's nearly as entertaining AND Much more juvenile! (Hard to believe, I know, but Dave Pilkey seems to know no boundies in his youthful exuberance and tastelessness *G* )

12-16-2008, 11:42 PM
It looks like we're skipping the Dumb Bunnies stage, and we are just about done with Captain Underpants. We only hit those on rare occasion, but they are good backup when the child doesn't really want to do the required amount of reading that night!

Warning: Adult Content!

There I was minding my own business when I noticed a most beautiful model standing right in front of me. And all of her attention was focused on ME! She was beautiful. Tantalizing round softly aluring protrusions prominently displayed to do NOTHING but tempt me! Oh God how I wanted to just reach out and feel them. Flick them. Yes, even turn them! I fought the Devil in one last halfhearted attempt to remove myself to the depths of despair rather than be lifted to the heights of estacy I knew were freely awaiting me! I do have my pride and I KNOW I am above such flauntingly obvious methods of seduction!

But it's too much. She conquered me. I yielded. I gave in. I am scum! How disappointed my wife will be that I had no self control. But I could no more resist that display of wonten sensuality than I could voluntarily stop my heart from beating! Slowly, I raised a hand and gently carrassed her body. I felt that it would take no effort to dial her in to every erotic need I'd ever imagined! As sweat dripped from my smolder brow, and with fingers shaking, throbing in anticipation, I plugged in!

The Les Paul sounded every bit as good as I'd hoped when jacked into that Vox Modeling amp! Everything from oozing Blues to Phase Shifting Metal! All in one package. What a dream!

Well.... after all, B.B. King has his Lucille and Mr Frey once said 'her name is Old Black' when he referred to his trusty Les Paul.

MikeA
01-20-2009, 07:01 PM
Actually, it was about the amp :partytime:

And it wasn't really a dream. I visited a local guitar shop and saw the Vox Modeling amp back in the room where they let customers plug in and try out both guitars and amps. They had an LP hanging on the wall and I grabbed it, and plugged it into the Smaller of the two VOX amps they had on display. It was pretty amazing.

I'm saving penny's now to buy the amp. As much as I'd love to have a Les Paul, it ain't gonna happen! Too rich for my meager blood.

GOD AND THE BIKER

A man was riding his Harley along a California beach when suddenly
the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said,
'Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways,
I will grant you one wish.'
The biker pulled over and said,
'Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want ' .

The Lord said, 'That request is materialistic, think of the enormous
challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required to reach
the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take!
It will nearly exhaust several natural resources.
I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things.
Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help
mankind.' The biker thought about it for a long time.


Finally, he said, 'Okay, I wish that I, and all men, could understand
our wives; I want to know how she feels inside, what she's thinking
when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she
means when she says 'nothing's wrong', and how I can make a
woman truly happy.'

:angel:

And the Lord replied, 'You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?'

This morning on the way to work, I looked over to my left and

there was a Woman

In a brand new Cadillac

Doing 75 mph

With her Face, up next to her rear view mirror

Putting on her eyeliner.

I looked away for a couple seconds!

And when I looked back she was

halfway over in my lane,

still working on that makeup.

As a man, I don't scare easily.

But she scared me so much;

I dropped My electric shaver,

which knocked The donut

Out of my other hand.

In all the confusion of trying

to straighten out the car

using my knees against

the steering wheel,

it knocked my cell phone

away from my ear,

which fell, into the coffee

between my legs,

splashed, and burned

Big Jim and the Twins,

ruined the phone,

soaked my trousers,

and disconnected an important call.


Damn women drivers!!

Ought to be a LAW is right! I'm afraid that seeing someone driving with a cell phone stuck in their ear is probably right up there with drunk drivers as far as I'm concerned. Can't even begin to tell you how many times I've come close to getting run over by some idiot. Seems like folks who NEVER visit on the phone at home, first find their keys and get in the car, then before getting out of the driveway, dial (or try to dial) up someone to talk to while negotiating traffic at 70mph.

It becomes the responsibility of everyone on the road to avoid them from that point on! Cell Phones are one reason I quit riding motorcycles!

Recipes:

BREAKFAST FOR MEN!

Three fresh eggs.
5 rashiers of precooked bacon.
4 slices of bread.
Butter.

Put bacon on papertowel on microwave plate and nuke for 50 seconds on high.
Put butter in pan and melt on medium-high.

Put 4 slices of bread in toaster.

Quickly now before butter is cooked away in pan on medium high, crack 3 eggs and dump them into pan. It is fun to try to break and dump them with one hand...but really messes up stove and the smell is atrocious. Good Stuff!

Take bacon out of microwave....wait... .

DARN....bread popped up. Hurry and put butter on hot toast.

DARN again! Got one piece of toast buttered and now notice that Eggs are burning!

Drop knife used to butter toast and run to pull skillet off of burner, rush over to sink and majestically toss eggs into air and catch in skillet instead of using some crude method like a spatula! Spatuals are for Dweebs! If Emeril can do it, you can too!

DARN once more! Hot Butter splattered on arm causing the dropping of skillet into sink but not before splattering butter and uncooked part of eggs on floor.

Clean skillet and put more butter in it and get 3 more eggs out of fridg.
Break eggs into skillet and return to buttering toast.

Pick self up off of floor after slipping on spilt eggs and butter! You can wait until after Breakfast to go to emergency room with dislocated vertebra.

Darn! Toast is cold.
Get 4 more slices of bread and put into toaster.

Watch eggs carefully this time.

Toast pops up and needs to be buttered. Obtain another knife because the one dropped is not to be found! Hopefully it's not sticking out of cat's tail! That might mean having to shampoo carpets!

Start buttering toast.

Darn! Eggs burning again! Grab skillet and rush to sink and flip eggs by tossing into air. They do look so graceful while twisting and flipping in air! OH NO! Not again! Arm is a solid blister now.

Toast is cold.

Now where did I put that bacon? Oh, in microwave. Check it! popping greese everywhere. Supposed to put towel OVER bacon not under it!

Screem real loud!

Wife rushes in to see what is wrong. Tactfully, ask WIFE if she will cook breakfast! Wife says to stay the hell out of her kitchen. She'll cook meals. I can go blow out garage (or go suck agges! or something to that effect.)

Note, similar receipe works well for baking cakes too. I only had to do that one one time. Cub Scout Bake Sale and Auction. Took Wife two weeks to get flower off walls and ceiling.

The Perfect Husband

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: "Hello"

WOMAN: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"

MAN: "Yes"

WOMAN: "I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"

MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."

WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2009 models. I saw one I really liked."

MAN: "How much?"

WOMAN: "$90,000"

MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."

WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing...the house I wanted last year is back on the market.. They're asking $950,000"

MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer of $900,000. They will probably take it. If not, we can go the extra 50 thousand if it's really a pretty good price."

WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!"

MAN: "Bye! I love you, too."

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths agape.




He turns and asks: "Anyone know who this phone belongs to?"

I got this in my email and it made me giggle. If I can find this church, Im going there!!!

********************************

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.

After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.

The monsignor replied, 'When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip.'

So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice.



At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink.

He proceeded to talk up a storm.


Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on the door:

1) Sip the vodka, don't gulp.

2) There are 10 commandments, not 12.

3) There are 12 disciples, not 10.

4) Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.

5) Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.

6) We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.

7) The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Big Daddy, Junior and the spook.

8) David slew Goliath; he did not kick the shit out of him.

9) When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.

10)We do not refer to the cross as the 'Big T.'

11)When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, 'Take this and eat it for it is my body.' He did not say 'Eat me'.

12)The Virgin Mary is not called 'Mary with Cherry'.

13)The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God.

14)Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's

Here's an email I received this morning.




Stutter

A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students. "Human beings are the only animals that stutter," she says.

A little girl raises her hand. "I had a kitty-cat who stuttered."

The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident.

"Well", she began, "I was in the back yard with my kitty and the Rottweiler that lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard"!!

"That must've been scary," said the teacher.

"It sure was," said the little girl. "My kitty raised her back, went Sssss, Sssss, Sssss and before she could say "Shit", the Rottweiler ate her!!!!

The teacher had to leave the room......

haha..that made me really LOL...

ok, here's one:

Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed
Monitor of the church's morals, kept sticking
Her nose into other people's business….
Several members did not approve of her
Extra curricular activities , but feared her
Enough to maintain their silence…

She made a mistake, however, when she
Accused Frank, a new member, of being an
Alcoholic after she saw his old pickup
Parked in front of the town's
Only bar one after noon. .

She emphatically told Frank
(and several others)
That everyone seeing it there
WOULD KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING !

Frank, a man of few words,
Stared at her for a moment and
Just turned and walked away…
He didn't explain, defend, or deny…
He said nothing….

Later that evening,
Frank quietly parked his pickup
In front of Mildred's house ...
Walked home
.. . .and left it there all night !!!

(You gotta love Frank !)

REPOST: Tipper Gore to be Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
By Barry Blain
CLEVELAND–In what might be the most controversial news in the world of rock ‘n’ roll since the passing of Elvis Presley, it was announced today that Tipper Gore, wife of former Vice President, Al Gore, is to be inducted in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, causing both praise and outrage from rock ‘n’ roll fanatics throughout the world.

Gore, 60, besides being known as the wife of the former vice president, had also made a name for herself back in the Eighties by leading a group composed mostly of Washington wives called, The Parent’s Music Resource Center (or The P.M.R.C., as it was more infamously known). The P.M.R.C.’s main task was to force the music industry to label each record it released, in the same manner films were rated by the MPAA, particularly those that included “explicit lyrics.”

In response to many of the rock videos Gore had watched as part of her research with the P.M.R.C., she had once publicly cried, “The images frightened my children! They frightened me! I am frightened! Way frightened! The graphic sex and the violence were too much for us to handle.”

Eventually, a Senate-hearing on the “dangers” of rock music was held and artists including Frank Zappa, Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider and legendary folk artist, John Denver, came to the defense of the first amendment rights of the artists in question. It was later decided that each record company would “voluntarily” label albums if they felt they might cause a disturbance in certain communities. Still, once the smoke had cleared, Tipper Gore had become a full-blown enemy of the rock world.

Ironically, years later, after her husband and Bill Clinton had won the 1992 presidential election, The Gore’s made an appearance on MTV, the very channel they had once accused of perpetrating “pornography,” thanking all the young people that had supported them in their campaign. Those that remembered the Tipper Gore of the 1980’s were shocked and somewhat perplexed by the appearance.

Mike Scorzelli, 39, Massapequa, N.Y. remembers: “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I remember thinking, ‘Wasn’t that the same broad that tried to outlaw music videos like seven years ago? Now, all of a sudden, everyone’s on MTV’s kissing her ass? That’s so f**ked up.’”

And if that wasn’t enough to inflame the rage of those that remembered Gore’s past as “Public Enemy No. 1,” Al Gore, himself, during his bid for the presidency in 2000, was, surprisingly enough, financially backed by such famous rock stars as Sheryl Crow, Joe Walsh, Stevie Nicks and Dweezil Zappa, son of one of Tipper Gore’s most outspoken opponents, Frank Zappa.

Apparently, all had either been forgiven or “forgotten.”

When asked why Tipper Gore was being inducted in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame, spokeswoman for the institution, Helen Gurchnecht, replied, ”The Hall of Fame is going ‘green’ this year and there’s nothing more ‘green’ than the Gores. Rock ‘n’ Roll is no longer about playing loud, living fast and expressing yourself creatively. These days, it’s more about whether or not you bring your own shopping bag to the grocery store. Or if you decide to walk to church instead of taking the family SUV.”

Along with Tipper Gore, other inductees will include Run DMC, Jeff Beck, Little Anthony and the Imperials and longtime friends of the Gore’s, Metallica, who have publicly defended the Hall of Fame’s choice to induct Gore.

“Tipper kicks ass,” says drummer, Lars Ulrich. “We all belong to the same country club and enjoy each other’s company immensely. In fact, we recently had the Gores over for cocktails and it turned out that my butler used to be their butler, like fifteen years ago. We got a great laugh out of that one. It’s such a weird and crazy world.”

Although the rock ‘n’ roll elite seem to have embraced Gore, regardless of her past assaults on their art and culture, there are still some rock ‘n’ roll fans that will never forgive or “forget” the havoc she wreaked back in the Eighties, no matter how “green” she may have become.

“I’ve got two words for Tipper Gore,” says Robby “the Snake” Fontana, 41, Freehold, New Jersey. “Go f**k yourself.”

EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.

With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.

Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.

After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags.

Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at this level.)

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.

This is cute...

An Irish woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on
reviving her husband's libido.
'What about trying Viagra?' asked the doctor.> 'Not a chance', she said.. 'He won't even take an aspirin.'
'Not a problem,' replied the doctor. 'Give him an 'Irish Viagra'. It's when
you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee. He won't even taste it. Give
it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went..'
It wasn't a week later when she called the doctor, who directly inquired as
to her progress.
The poor dear exclaimed, 'Oh, faith, bejaysus and begorrah! T'was horrid!
Just terrible, doctor!'
'Really? What happened?' asked the doctor.
'Well, I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate. He jumped straight up, with a twinkle in his eye and with
his pants a-bulging fiercely! With one swoop of his arm, he sent me cups
and tablecloth flying, ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and
there passionately on the tabletop! It was a nightmare, I tell you, an absolute
nightmare!'
'Why so terrible?' asked the doctor, 'Do you mean the sex your husband
provided wasn't good?'
'Freakin' jaysus, 'twas the best sex I've had in 25 years But sure as I'm
sittin' here, I'll never be able to show me face in Starbucks again.

Yesterday I had a flat tire on the highway, so I eased my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully got out of the car and opened the trunk.
I took out 2 cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic. They look so life-like you wouldn't believe it! They are in trench coats, exposing their nude bodies and private parts to the approaching drivers.
I started to change my tire, and to my surprise, cars started slowing down looking at my life -like men. And of course, traffic started backing up. Everybody was tooting their horns and waving like crazy.
It wasn't long before an officer pulled up behind me.
He got out of his car and started walking towards me. I could tell he was not a happy camper! "What's going on here?"
"My car has a flat tire," I said calmly.
"Well, what the hell are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?"
I couldn't believe that he didn't know. So I told him, "Hello-o-o-o, those are my emergency flashers."

'He sent them also,' the mother said.

A lady walks into Tiffany's. She looks around, spots a beautiful diamond bracelet and walks over to inspect it. As she bends over to look more closely, she lets out a fart.

Very embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone has noticed her little "accident" and prays that a sales person doesn't pop up right now. As she turns around, her worst nightmare materializes in the form of a salesman standing right behind her. Cool as a cucumber, he displays all of the qualities one would expect of a professional salesman in a store like Tiffany's, and greets the lady with, "Good day, Madam. How may we help you today?"

Feeling uncomfortable, but still hoping that the salesman may not have been there at the time of her little "accident", she asks, "Sir, what is the price of this lovely bracelet?" He answers, "Madam, if you farted just looking at it, you're going to shit when I tell you the price."

A 54 year old woman had a heart attack and was taken to thehospital.While on the operating table she had a near death experience.Seeing God she asked 'Is my time up?'Godsaid, 'No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live.'Uponrecovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift,liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck.She even had someone come in and change her hair colour and brighten her teeth! Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it. After her last operation, she was released from the hospital.While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance. Arriving in front of God, she demanded, 'I thought you said I had another 43 years? Why didn't you pull me from out of the path of the ambulance?'

God replied: 'I didn't recognize you.'

It's Bruce and the E Street Band...their current pic for the "Working on a Dream" tour. I'm still workin' on getting tix for their last show in the States this Saturday which I have backstage passes to :thumbsup:! But, alas, no tix...yet...but I will leave no stone unturned, no avenue un-explored. These tix at the arena at the Meadowlands are the tightest on the tour thus far (obviously being his home state), so he has been completely sold out from day 1 of Ticketmaster's Ticketgate snafu. I'm hoping my client who supplied my backstage passes will be come through with "Family and Friends" seats at the last minute, or that the arena will open up some ticket drops this week as well. Only time will tell... BUT, rest assured, as soon as I have good news, I will shout it out here on the 'Bruuuuuce' thread!

For anyone who might wanna know, rumor has it that he will return from his European summer for a 2nd leg of the US tour, doing stadiums instead of arenas. So, there will always be another chance for me...but I want this chance!

Here's the scoop on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey": :wink:

Three men married wives from different states.

The first man married a woman from Idaho. He told her that she was to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man married a woman from Kansas. He gave his wife orders that she was do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table.

The third man married a girl from New Jersey. He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, the dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher.

We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the 'seniors' special' was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99.

'Sounds good,' my wife said. 'But I don't want the eggs.'
'Then, I'll have to charge you three dollars and forty-nine cents because you're ordering a la carte,' the waitress warned her.
'You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?' my wife asked incredulously.

'YES!!' stated the waitress.
'I'll take the special then,' my wife said.
'How do you want your eggs?' the waitress asked.
'Raw and in the shell,' my wife replied.
She took the two eggs home and baked a cake.

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.

The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.

Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed..

'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.

The sand is everything else---the small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Spend time with your children.

Spend time with your Spouse.

Spend time with your parents.

Visit with your grandparents.

Play another 18.

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter.

Set your priorities.

The rest is just sand.

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented.

The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'

The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

Back about, oh, 10 or 12 years ago, when I was doing a LOT of motorcycle riding, our garbage disposal went out. It was old and time for it to give up the ghost. I found a GREAT bargain on a commercial duty disposal at Sears I think. Anyway, I bought it. When I got home with it, I really looked at the old one and knew instantly I was in over my head. One of my biker buddies managed an apartment complex for a long time and his wife volunteered him for my repair/installation and thinking that since I got such a good deal on the wood-chipping disposal at Sears, I could afford him.

Well, the new unit required different plumbing, and it wouldn't mate up with the sink we had...a heavy porcelain sink...an antique possibly! Okay, new sinks aren't that expensive so Verna went Home Depot or somewhere and found a stainless steel one she though would be okay and bought it and brought it home. While she was gone, Chuck, my biker hero, proceeded to remove the sink. Now Chuck is one of those guys who doesn't use a jack to change a tire...he just lifts the car up with one hand, removes the lug nuts with his fingers and replaces the tire. In the process, he can drain a half case of beer! In the process of taking the sink out, he busted the counter top, rendered the faucets unusable and left a huge scratch on the wall when he carried the 150 pound porcelain sink outside!

Of course in repairing the counter, we couldn't match up the Formica with the counter on the other side of the kitchen so we had to tear off that Formica and replace it too.

It all worked out in the end, and I saved a LOT of money on the garbage disposal and we did drink lots of beer. A few months later, we refinished the cabinets and put in some of that fake hardwood floor. We do have a new kitchen now!

Moral: Don't fix the garbage disposal Nancy. Just take the garbage outside and let the stray dogs and cats have at it. They'll love you for it and you'll save untold hundreds if not thousands of dollars!

I clipped a portion from a recent Vanity Fair article about Larry King, and for some reason I cannot stifle a snort of laughter every time I read this:

...[while] an inside tour was being conducted of the vacated rooms, a shadow crossed the end of the hallway. To those who dare to hope, it was the ghost of Michael Jackson returning to his place of solace. On YouTube, the shadow was there for all to see. "Plenty of America's most staggering dipshits saw it," reported Gawker, "so CNN devoted an entire segment on [Larry] King's show to solving the mystery." ... I'm not sure how large a percentage of CNN's core demographic fits the definition of "staggering dipshits," but it is reassuring to know that the network isn't ignoring their needs.

Couldn't believe I'd actually read that in Vanity Fair. :grin:

Haha! Well, the news is about 13% accurate, anyway, so you might as well obtain it from an entertaining source. Really, what's the point? "Here's your daily dose of death, destruction, impending doom and dirty laundry. Sleep well!"

I must second your affinity for The Daily Show! I used to watch it every night before I discovered Craig Ferguson. Stewart had a segment a long time ago... I forget what it covered but it ended with a full-'fro vintage pic of Henley and Stewart managing a dead-on impression of The Dude: "But everybody knows Don Henley's smug, superior attitude killed the Eagles, mannnnn." It was brilliant.

The poor man says to the rich man,
What did you get your wife this year?
Rich man says I got her a brand new Mercedes and a diamond ring
Poor man says why did you get her a new Mercedes and a diamond ring
Rich man says if she doesn't like the ring she can still keep the car and still be happy

Rich man says to the poor man
And what did you get your wife this year?
Poor man says a pair of slippers and a dildo
Rich man say why did you get her slippers and a dildo?
Poor man says
If she doesn't like the slippers, she can go F**K herself!!!

This is something that I DIDN'T know before I read this:

The first product Motorola started to develop was a record player for automobiles. At that time, the most known player on the market was the
Victrola, so they called themselves Motorola.

Now, with that quoted, I did have a "Motorola" that ran off of a bucket full of batteries and was designed for playing in a car. It was worthless unless the car was NOT moving. At the time, that was just fine with me! I was only 18 or so.

Not the "Onion" but "Sports Illustrated": ENJOY...or try to.

Below is an article written by Rick Reilly of Sports Illustrated. He details his experiences when given the opportunity to fly in a F-14 Tomcat. If you aren't laughing out loud by the time you get to 'Milk Duds,' your sense of humor is seriously broken.
____________________________

Now this message is for America 's most famous athletes:

Someday you may be invited to fly in the back-seat of one of your country's most powerful fighter jets. Many of you already have. John Elway, John Stockton, Tiger Woods to name a few. If you get this opportunity, let me urge you, with the greatest sincerity...

Move to Guam. Change your name. Fake your own death! Whatever you do. Do Not Go!!! I know.

The U.S. Navy invited me to try it. I was thrilled. I was pumped. I was toast! I should've known when they told me my pilot would be Chip (Biff) King of Fighter Squadron 213 at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach .

Whatever you're thinking a Top Gun named Chip (Biff) King looks like, triple it. He's about six-foot, tan, ice-blue eyes, wavy surfer hair, finger-crippling handshake -- the kind of man who wrestles alligators in his leisure time. If you see this man, run the other way. Fast.

Biff was to fly me in an F- 14D Tomcat, a ridiculously powerful $60 million weapon with nearly as much thrust as weight, not unlike Colin Montgomerie. I was worried about getting airsick, so the night before the flight I asked Biff if there was something I should eat the next morning.

'Bananas,' he said.

'For the potassium?' I asked.

'No,' Biff said, 'because they taste about the same coming up as they do going down.'

The next morning, out on the tarmac, I had on my flight suit with my name sewn over the left breast. (No call sign -- like Crash or Sticky or Leadfoot. But, still, very cool.) I carried my helmet in the crook of my arm, as Biff had instructed.

A fighter pilot named Psycho gave me a safety briefing and then fastened me into my ejection seat, which, when employed, would 'egress' me out of the plane at such a velocity that I would be immediately knocked unconscious.

Just as I was thinking about aborting the flight, the canopy closed over me, and Biff gave the ground crew a thumbs-up. In minutes we were firing nose up at 600 mph. We leveled out and then canopy-rolled over another F-14.

Those 20 minutes were the rush of my life. Unfortunately, the ride lasted 80. It was like being on the roller coaster at Six Flags Over Hell, only without rails. We did barrel rolls, snap rolls, loops, yanks and banks. We dived, rose and dived again, sometimes with a vertical velocity of 10,000 feet per minute. We chased another F-14, and it chased us.

We broke the speed of sound. Sea was sky and sky was sea. Flying at 200 feet we did 90-degree turns at 550 mph, creating a G force of 6.5, which is to say I felt as if 6.5 times my body weight was smashing against me.

And I egressed the bananas.

And I egressed the pizza from the night before.

And the lunch before that.

I egressed a box of Milk Duds from the sixth grade.

I went through not one airsick bag, but two.

Biff said I passed out. Twice. I was coated in sweat. At one point, as we were coming in upside down in a banked curve on a mock bombing target and the G's were flattening me like a tortilla and, I was in and out of consciousness, I realized I was the first person in history to throw down.

I used to know 'cool'. Cool was Elway throwing a touchdown pass, or Norman making a five-iron bite. But now I really know 'cool.' Cool is guys like Biff, men with cast-iron stomachs and freon nerves. I wouldn't go up there again for Derek Jeter's black book, but I'm glad Biff does every day, and for less a year than a rookie reliever makes in a home stand.

A week later, when the spins finally stopped, Biff called. He said he and the fighters had the perfect call sign for me. Said he'd send it on a patch for my flight suit.

What is it? I asked.

'Two Bags.'

A man visits his granny in the nursing home. When he arrives, she is asleep, so he just sits down in a chair in her room, watches television and eats some peanuts from a bowl on the table.
Eventually, the granny wakes up, and the man realizes he's absentmindedly finished all the peanuts bowl. "I'm so sorry, granny, I've eaten all of your peanuts!"
"That's okay, dear," granny replied. "After I've sucked the chocolate off, I don't like them anyway."

You may laugh, probably will, but it AIN'T Funny!

ABOUT THE WRITER
Dave Barry is a Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist for the Miami Herald.


Colonoscopy Journal:

I called my friend Andy Sable, a gastroenterologist, to make an appointment for a colonoscopy.

A few days later, in his office, Andy showed me a color diagram of the colon, a lengthy organ that appears to go all over the place, at one point passing briefly through Minneapolis.

Then Andy explained the colonoscopy procedure to me in a thorough, reassuring and patient manner.

I nodded thoughtfully, but I didn't really hear anything he said, because my brain was shrieking, 'HE'S GOING TO STICK A TUBE 17,000 FEET UP YOUR BEHIND!'

I left Andy's office with some written instructions, and a prescription for a product called 'MoviPrep,' which comes in a box large enough to hold a microwave oven. I will discuss MoviPrep in detail later; for now suffice it to say that we must never allow it to fall into the hands of America's enemies.

I spent the next several days productively sitting around being nervous.

Then, on the day before my colonoscopy, I began my preparation. In accordance with my instructions, I didn't eat any solid food that day; all I had was chicken broth, which is basically water, only with less flavor.

Then, in the evening, I took the MoviPrep. You mix two packets of powder together in a one-liter plastic jug, then you fill it with lukewarm water. (For those unfamiliar with the metric system, a liter is about 32 gallons). Then you have to drink the whole jug. This takes about an hour, because MoviPrep tastes - and here I am being kind - like a mixture ofgoat spit and urinal cleanser, with just a hint of lemon.

The instructions for MoviPrep, clearly written by somebody with a great sense of humor, state that after you drink it, 'a loose, watery bowel movement may result.'

This is kind of like saying that after you jump off your roof, you may experience contact with the ground.

MoviPrep is a nuclear laxative. I don't want to be too graphic, here, but, have you ever seen a space-shuttle launch? This is pretty much the MoviPrep experience, with you as the shuttle. There are times when you wish the commode had a seat belt. You spend several hours pretty much confined to the bathroom, spurting violently. You eliminate everything. And then, when you figure you must be totally empty, you have to drink another liter of MoviPrep, at which point, as far as I can tell, your bowels travel into the future and start eliminating food that you have not even eaten yet.

After an action-packed evening, I finally got to sleep.

The next morning my wife drove me to the clinic. I was very nervous. Not only was I worried about the procedure, but I had been experiencing occasional return bouts of MoviPrep spurtage. I was thinking, 'What if I spurt on Andy?' How do you apologize to a friend for something like that? Flowers would not be enough.

At the clinic I had to sign many forms acknowledging that I understood and totally agreed with whatever the heck the forms said. Then they led me to a room full of other colonoscopy people, where I went inside a little curtained space and took off my clothes and put on one of those hospital garments designed by sadist perverts, the kind that, when you put it on, makes you feel even more naked than when you are actually naked..

Then a nurse named Eddie put a little needle in a vein in my left hand. Ordinarily I would have fainted, but Eddie was very good, and I was already lying down. Eddie also told me that some people put vodka in their MoviPrep.
At first I was ticked off that I hadn't thought of this, but then I pondered what would happen if you got yourself too tipsy to make it to the bathroom, so you were staggering around in full Fire Hose Mode. You would have no choice but to burn your house.

When everything was ready, Eddie wheeled me into the procedure room, where Andy was waiting with a nurse and an anesthesiologist. I did not see the 17,000-foot tube, but I knew Andy had it hidden around there somewhere. I was seriously nervous at this point.

Andy had me roll over on my left side, and the anesthesiologist began hooking something up to the needle in my hand.

There was music playing in the room, and I realized that the song was 'Dancing Queen' by ABBA. I remarked to Andy that, of all the songs that could be playing during this particular procedure, 'Dancing Queen' had to be the least appropriate.

'You want me to turn it up?' said Andy, from somewhere behind me.

'Ha ha,' I said. And then it was time, the moment I had been dreading for more than a decade. If you are squeamish, prepare yourself, because I am going to tell you, in explicit detail, exactly what it was like.

I have no idea. Really. I slept through it. One moment, ABBA was yelling 'Dancing Queen, feel the beat of the tambourine,' and the next moment, I was back in the other room, waking up in a very mellow mood.

Andy was looking down at me and asking me how I felt. I felt excellent. I felt even more excellent when Andy told me that It was all over, and that my colon had passed with flying colors. I have never been prouder of an internal organ.


On the subject of Colonoscopies...
Colonoscopies are no joke, but these comments during the exam were quite humorous..... A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies:

1. 'Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!'

2. 'Find Amelia Earhart yet?'

3. 'Can you hear me NOW?'

4. 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?'

5. 'You know, in Arkansas , we're now legally married.'

6. 'Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?'

7. 'You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out...'

8. 'Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!'

9. 'If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!'

10. 'Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity.'

11. 'You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?'

12. 'God, now I know why I am not gay.'

And the best one of all:
13. 'Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there?'

Cynd, that is so cute!


Cracked me up --Another Eagles devotee!!!!!!!!!! My son tells me she refuses to listen to anything else in the car (which drives HIM crazy).
This reminds me of mine little neighbour (2) every time he is with me (he is each day with me) he wants to hear The Heat is On several times in a row!

When I was out there last year for Thanksgiving, Liv confiscated my iPod (which has essentially nothing but the Eagles on it) and she fell in love with all of it. In a matter of days she had every complete lyric to every song from LROOE down perfect. She is an absolute riot to watch when she's listening to "Guilty of the Crime" and "Sombody" -- her facial expressions are too danged funny!

OMG cynd - that is just hilarious. You are doing an excellent job of schooling this young lady. I mean, after all, you are teaching from a distance so you can't expect perfection, you know. You can work on that later! :lol:

Cynd, that is too cute! It reminds me of something GA's 5-year-old son, Chris, said the other day while Lisa & I were chatting... I can't remember whether he was watching a video or looking at one of Lisa's songbooks, but he said "I didn't know Glenn looked so pretty in a suit, mammy." LOL! How adorable is that?

Glenn's got the younger fanbase covered, apparently. :thumbsup:

I firmly believe in breaking 'tm in young and as long as it's an Eagle, doesn't matter which one. Liv particularly loves that song -- what she calls 'French Fry's sad heart song'.......although she also sings a mean version of "It's Your World Now" and when she watches F1 she gets right up close to the TV for "You Belong To The City"......THE GIRL'S GOT TASTE!

In the latest New Yorker there's a cartoon of a father sitting on the couch reading his newspaper with a son standing sheepishly off to the side. The caption is, "Someday when you have a kid of your own and you feel the urge to arbitrarily say no just because you can, you'll understand."

The Sunday supplement in our local newspaper always has a couple of cartoons, sometimes really cute. But yesterday the first one caught my eye and I laughed till I cried. I had to cut it out and stick on the frig because it's part of the reason my Significant Other is a FORMER instead of a 'current'.

Two guys sitting in a bar chatting with one another. One guy turns to the other and says: "My wife left me for someone who isn't right all the time."

Honestly, gals, can you relate???? :hilarious:

A Mom is potty training her 3 year old boy. She get's him situated on the potty chair and gives him a Golden Book to look at and then goes about her business.

After quite a while of not seeing her little boy, she sneaks to the bathroom to make sure he's okay. He's still there but after a watching him a short while, she observes him laying the book down and gripping the toilet seat with his left hand and bops himself in the head with his right hand. After doing this, he picks up the book and resumes looking at it.

The Mom, a bit confused, asks him if he's "okay".

"Yes", says the little boy.

"Why did you just hit yourself in the head?"

The little boy answers, "Works with ketchup."

My daughter may kill me if she ever reads this, and my grandson (3 years old) will certainly finish me off in a few years if he reads this.

Last week, we were keeping Miles as we usually do on Thursdays. Now, Amanda and Phil have been working hard with Miles on potty training.

I work in the basement and Miles isn't allowed to come downstairs while I'm working. My cell phone rang and it was Verna telling me to come up, I just had to see this!

I go upstairs and Miles had a couple of cane sticks dried from our watergardens that were about 24" long. I've been letting him beat on my drumkit for quite some time now and Miles was hammering the floor as he marched around but he was chanting in time with the beat:

It's coming out.

It's coming out.

Tha poop is coming out!

"Pastor's Business Cards"

"A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came
to his repeated knocks at the door.

Therefore, he took out a business card and wrote 'Revelation 3:20' on he back of it and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that is card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message,
'Genesis 3:10.'
Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins 'Behold, I stand at the
door and knock.' Genesis 3:10 reads, 'I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked.'"

My wife saw this on LVA (Las Vegas Advisor). LVA is a forum (membership required) that is about everything Vegas. Phil Helimuth and Phil Ivey are two of the best "Texas Holdem" poker players playing today. Sort of celebrities in the poker scene.

Seen on the "Director's Cut" (the weekly summary) of "Poker After Dark" last Sunday: Phil Hellmuth asks Phil Ivey if he's ever played golf against Tiger Woods. Ivey responds, "I've met Woods, but I'm so new to golf and, relatively speaking, so bad at it, that I've never even considered asking Woods if he wanted to play." Hellmuth kills Ivey: "Well, you play poker against me, don't you?"

Three Wishes
An old lady is rocking away the last of her days on herfront porch, reflecting on her long life, when *** all of asudden ***
a fairy godmother appears in front of her andinforms her that she will be granted three wishes.

"Well, now," says the old lady, "I guess I would like tobe really rich."
*** POOF *** her rocking chair turns to solid gold.

"And, gee, I guess I wouldn't mind being a young,beautiful princess."
*** POOF *** she turns into a beautiful young woman. "Your third wish?" asks the fairy godmother.

Just then the old woman's cat wanders across the porch in front ofthem. "Ooh--can you change him into a handsome prince?" she asks.

*** POOF *** there before her stands a young man more handsome thananyone could possibly imagine.

She stares at him, smitten. With a smile that makes her knees weak, he saunters across the porch and whispers in her ear:

"Bet you're sorry you had me neutered."

Haha the Onion rocks. "Unfortunately, tying a scarf to a microphone stand is no longer a marketable skill." Excellent.

Quite appropriate I post this after TBF's Expando signature...

I stumbled across a half-satire faux screenplay about how Frey and Henley keep shafting Schmit. I must caution that it's scripted in a deliberately mocking manner - naked Korean girls tend to Henley while Frey behaves as a lowlife fratboy, with Schmit cast as a variant of Pretty in Pink's Ducky. However, Walsh makes concurrently the most effortless and perhaps entertaining fictional appearance of his life - I snorted Diet Coke through my nose (not recommended). If you didn't find the Onion article suggesting Walsh's premature termination hilarious this will leave you completely affronted and it's best you steer clear; however, if you take life with a touch of satire and a healthy dose of sarcasm, I recommend this as one of the most entertaining fan-composed Eagles articles I have ever snickered though (http://popdose.com/you-again-timothy-b-schmit-expando/).

"The tour has had a bit of a residual effect on Joe." Classic.
