Ok... In other news... I'm digging the man belly. Chicks dig that ya know.
The black freighter sails at 1159 PM on July 3rd.
Participants are advised to remove any and all sticks from their rectums before setting off.
You lost me there.Quote: billryanIn totally unrelated news.......

Googling that reveals
Quote: some guy on t'internetThe Black Freighter itself represents nuclear armageddon.
The protagonist is a stand-in for Ozymandius.
In the end, he does some horrible things, all in the name of saving people from the Black Freighter. But in doing these things, he himself has become a monster.
It also serves as a sort of meta-statement, that comics can tell Big Important Stories that reflect what's going on in the real world, while couching those stories in more accessible metaphors.
But somehow I think Bill is referring to the start of Independence day?
I've removed the sticks from my rectum anyway. Better safe than sorry.
Quote: OnceDearNeither, IMHO. I merely echo Wizard in indicating that we don't enforce the rules on other forums, just as we don't enforce a "Do not defecate in your neighbors swimming pool" rule. It does not imply permission, nor that it's a good idea nor any promise of support in such mischief.
Indeed. Naming other forums for the purpose of causing mischief is specifically not allowed here in the interest of avoiding forum wars.
Gotcha. Nudge, nudge. Wink wink.
Sounds like you threw the phone book at this one Nastradamus. It would be pathetic if you could not deliver on your promise of only $50. Along with your numbers, should should keep a running tally of bets and results posted. The high low paying shots you take really says something about your risk tolerance. You're dipping into your hobo bag money to make them.Quote: NathanWe're all betting people here, right? ;) I will make the pot sweet and donate $50 of my own money

43 Pick 2 showed up yesterday. ;) So, my prediction already came true. ;) You know what? Pick 2 was WAY too easy. I'll make the pot even sweeter and up the ante and put the bet only to the Pick 3 and Pick 4 numbers I chose as of this post. If NONE of the Pick 3 or Pick 4 numbers I chose come up within 2 weeks, I am going to donate $50 towards next year's WOV Spring Fling. :)
So what are those numbers on the line then?Quote: Nathan43 Pick 2 showed up yesterday. ;) So, my prediction already came true. ;) You know what? Pick 2 was WAY too easy.

Quote: onenickelmiracleSo what are those numbers on the line then?
EVERY Pick 3 or Pick 4 number I predicted would show up. I decided to not put the Pick 2 numbers on the line considering how ridiculously easy Pick 2 is to play and win. It's literally only 2 numbers. By the way, 39 Pick 2 showed up, and it was one of my very first choices. ;) See how incredibly easy Pick 2 really is? ;) Pick 3 and Pick 4 are considerably harder to play. ;) By the way, I predicted 782 Pick 3 would show up, 784 popped up. ;)A word to the wise. My numbers have a scary rate of being one digit off. ;)
My misheard lyric from the same song. "It's a free ride when you're already there." The correct lyric. "It's a free ride when you've already paid." My misheard lyric makes sense because it be pretty messed up to have someone offer you a free ride when you're already at your destination.
Bangles, Manic Monday.
My misheard lyric. "Blame it on the train, but the bus is already there."
Correct lyric. "Blame it on the train, but the boss is already there." My misheard lyric makes sense because I have been in the situation where the bus was already there when I arrived taking another bus. I have screamed,"Stop that bus!" Like a maniac when the newer bus began picking up people while I was running 5 feet away behind the bus. ;)

Who is it hurting ?
Nobody is forced to open the thread. As a matter of fact anyone finding it silly or even just not enjoyable can block it. Then it’s like it doesn’t exist in their world.
EvenBob claims he has 80% of threads blocked. Yet this isn’t one of them. So It can’t be that bad

Quote: onenickelmiracleI actually never understand half the words in songs. It's a little bit easier when the speakers are high quality, which is normally not what I'm listening on. If you have a top of the line car with all the options, you'll understand more words. Some people are just good at understanding words and being able to repeat them although.
My brother and I are alike in many things, but very different in this. I hear the music, rhythm, and harmony with the melody, often not sung but the harmony rings in my head. The words are generally the voice as instrument and I don't "hear" the phrases or meanings.
Him, otoh, he doesn't sing much, but he can quote thousands of song lyrics and find deep meaning in their statements and themes. He gets his charge off the poetry and philosophy expressed. He will quote lyrics for hours, if you'll listen to him, relating different artists, moods, thematic albums in ways that are incredibly insightful and IMO original observations.
Funny how different minds work.

I am curious, can you speak any other languages. My brain works the same as yours with songs where I dont really hear the words. My brain also works like that with foreign language. I can not hear another language. I have tried for years to learn others but I just can't hear the words. They all just kinda of run together as a noise. I would love to speak something else, but I just can't. Do you have that problem too?

I thought he said, "Don't mess around with the Diet Shasta, no." If it had aspartame, maybe he was right.

Correct! First pint is on me, preferably served at the Cyder House Inn in the lovely village of Shackleford.

Mrs. Joeman is upset because she says I have ruined this song for her by singing this when it comes on in the car. Apologies if anyone feels likewise! :P

I speak and read French reasonably well, but I had 5 years of classes in my teens, so that may help. French is also lyrical in tone and phrasing, so it appeals to my musicality.
Never really tried any other languages, but I don't think I have a particular gift for them, either, or I would have pursued it.
Interesting question.
Quote: beachbumbabsI speak and read French reasonably well, ...
In France, when kids play hide and seek or Marco Polo, and need to count to ten, what do they say between to the numbers, to ensure they don't count too fast, in the same way we Americans say "Mississippi"?

In France, the kid hiding usually surrenders before any counting takes place.

WHAM! Made me lol.
Wizard, IDK from my own experience. However, this conversation from some years ago showed up in a google, and someone said,
Quote:I'm French. At primary school we used to have a skipping song involving counting "un Mississippi, deux Mississippi, trois Mississipi" and so on. It was 25 years ago. I didn't realise what it was about until someone told me it was a way to count seconds. I have no idea how it came to a small village in the French countryside, though.

Very interesting, thank you.
Back to music lyrics, I would hate to think of how many hours of my childhood were spent arguing over this line from the Brady Bunch theme song:
Quote:That this group must somehow form a family
I'm pretty sure I was in the "group" group but many would argue until the cows came home it was "crew."
Father Marquette and Father Joliet were instrumental in French domination of the river until Napoleon sold the USofA the land.
The name Mississippi itself isn't French, but the French may have taken the word home with them.
"There's a bathroom on the right"
when the actual lyrics are:
"There's a bad moon on the rise".
There's an entire website devoted to this:
http://www.kissthisguy.com/
(Named after the Hendrix botched line; "Scuse me while I kiss the sky")
Misheard lyric. "You're going down!" Correct lyric. "You're gonna die!" My misheard lyric makes sense since Axl does say,"You're going down," earlier in the song and his final line in the song says "It's gonna bring you down." Besides, this is how Axl sings it. "You're gonna diiiiiieeeeeoooowwww!" LOL. ;) Seriously listen to how he sings the word die and tell me it doesn't sound exactly or very close to how I mentioned it. ;)
106. Pick 3
7702. Pick 4.
89. Pick 2.
Wow. My predictions were off the mark for tonight. Pick 2 came close(I predicted 49 was coming up soon) And 816 is close to 106. Nevermind. My predictions weren't that far off. ;)
La la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la.
There is a close-up of someone who is sitting with two groupies and is frowning while looking at a TV screen. This is Axl, right? To be honest this person could be a woman. There is another shot of a person who is clearly Axl strapped in a chair going mad as he watches the News. What makes this seem weird is that later on, Axl is shown on a TV screen strapped in the chair going crazy, and another person who looks suspiciously like a very unkempt Axl is watching Axl go crazy on the TV screen and shakes his head in disbelief and walks away. So weird that unkempt Axl is watching himself strapped to a chair on TV.

Another poster mentioned Alimony and I responded,"Alimony sucks! It should be outlawed!" I was unexpectedly suspended for hijacking twice a thread about a guy hiding his Jackpot. I honestly wasn't trying to hijack, I was responding to two different posters who brought up Alimony.
Threads do meander off topic sometimes quite naturally. It happens. I just caused a bit of a diversion on the health thread.Quote: NathanQuestion about my inadvertent hijacking. I tend to go off on tangents at times such as an Alimony incident in a thread about a guy trying to hide his Jackpot. Someone said something like,"The guy could have been hiding his Jackpot because he could have Alimony payments. I don't even know what Alimony is, but it seems awful." I replied,"Alimony is what you pay your ex spouse after divorce. I hate the idea of Alimony. Why should I have to support an adult that I am no longer legally bonded to? Especially if my ex spouse cheated on me and that's the reason for the divorce? So I have to pay someone who cheated on me? No, just no!"

But it can sometimes be hard to get back on topic, so we are ALL beholden to try to stay or get back on target or sparingly launch new threads... or take the conversation over to a thread which already exists and has it covered.
Just as you hug the 'edit button' show some love for the 'cancel button' too. You've been pretty well directed to take extra care. You've also been on the forum quite a while now, so please continue to embrace the very best behaviors possible. Imagine yourself having been made a moderator and having your every post scrutinised and picked apart, just as mine and BBB's are. You had a close escape there :o)
Best behaviour. Rise above the rest of us to be a shining example. C'mon you know you can do it.

Did that actually happen. I dont complain about suspensions often but if that is an accurate story and you got suspended then a model did a terrible job and really should be looked at to whether they should be a mod.

GWAE, and all.
I was hoping not to have to comment, but...
That's not the whole story, either then or now. That's Nathan's perspective, or how she chooses to present what happened over a year ago. Part of both then and now is PM protected (which she counts on in bringing this up again), but she's angry (I think that's evident here) about being called out on continual hijacking of numerous threads then, and now, and so she's lobbying the forum, looking to be divisive.
Please don't feed it. She has some side agreement where she can post what she wants in this thread (still respecting forum rules), but you don't have to take the bait.

Just get back to those stellar Lotto picks and move on. No sense in looking at the past when seeing the future is so much more profitable.
