Nude shots Thank the Lord above for the Puritans! Whatever would we do if nakedness wasn't a sin against both man and God?!?

*Faux MD He's from Arkansas, has a green pick-um-up-truck, and is providing a needed service. What's the problem here?

Ice Fishing Wow! What I miss most about the mild winters here in sunny Athens is not being able to bore myself silly while freezing my gonads off!

Twins No photos but the judge was a female! Can you say 3way?

*Faux = to transmit printed matter, photographs, or the like electronically Can't fool me!

Ohio Woman: How am I supposed to judge the credibilty of this story without pictures?

Doctor with truck: I don't even trust those guys that sell meat out of the back of their truck. Anyone who gets medical services that way has it comin'.

Crazy Joe: A pizza parlor? The feds just got lazy with this one.

Evil Twin: The judge should have known that the "good" twin would insist on both of them being incarcerated for the good of society.

BK out of lemonade: What the F*** is wrong with this person?

I totally forgot about the goatee. Thanks Dumbfounded.

Is the fact that the faux MD's pickup truck green somehow relevant? would it be okay if he worked out of a blue or red truck? I ask because I have a lot of medical supplies here, and need a new paint job, anyway...

Oh, Crazy Joe, you so irrational!

I believe the twin who stands on the left is always guilty. Either that, or the one who is suspiciously well-behaved.

Lemonade - Damn it, Florida, sop screwing around down there. If I have to say that one more time, I am stopping this car and coming back there, myself! You got that?

Pictures: Where the children boys, girls, a combo of both? While still wrong if they were all girls, it DES make a difference.

Twins: I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

I lived in Bastrop, LA when I was a kid, I remember the aroma of the paper mill vividly.

naked pics
AGFH - I was thinking the same thing, also I wonder how provocative the pics were.

"faux"
I am surprised that someone doesn't know what "faux" means. That's not unique to Louisiana. Here, we tend to use eaux for the 'o' sound. e.i. Geaux Tigers!!!

Ah French! Where you don't pronounce any of the letters that are there and all the letters that aren't.

I don't know Tim but making those kind of comments is being snide and we don't do that here. :lol:

Can someone refresh my memory on why we are supposed to hate the French? Is it because they didn't agree with the war that we all don't agree with now? I forget! I misplaced my Republican Handbook right after Bush was elected for his 1st term.

Whadda ya mean she was? The old broad is still kicking!!!

Yeah, dad still stinks too!!

Right (pronounced rig-hut), Expat. I know (k'noh) what you mean (me-ann).

FOUR ALL WHO READ AND RIGHT:

The English Lesson
We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;
yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,
why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,
and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those,
yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
but though we say mother, we never say methren.

Then the masculine pronouns are he, his, and him,
but imagine the feminine as being she, shis, and shim.

Some other reasons to be grateful if you grew up speaking English:

1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
8) At the Army base, a bass was painted on the head of a bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into! the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
18) After a number of Novocain injections, my jaw got number.
19) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
20) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
22) I spent last evening evening out a pile of dirt.

Screwy pronunciations can mess up your mind! For example...If you have a rough cough, climbing can be tough when going through the bough on a tree!

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.

There is no egg in eggplant or ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

English muffins weren't invented in England.

We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham?

Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends, but cannot make one amend?

If you have a bunch of odds and ends, and get rid of all! but one of them, what do you call it -- one odd and one end?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

Where else would you park your car on a driveway and drive your car on a parkway?

youze can't hide now crazy joe...we're on our way.

BikerPuppy: What's amazing is how easy that is to read and not get the words all screwed up in your head.

Hey republican hater. We didnt like the french long before the stupid war. Im not sure there is a valid reason though. And also, people hated america in the 90s too. Quit being such a jerk.

BikerPuppy - Massive kudos, love it!

Patty, I think you would be too much fun if (or with) a twin.

And it has always been fashionable to dislike the french. I heard a comedian say his greatest aspiration was to become a French citizen so he could look down at himself.

English (et al) is one of the hardest languages to learn as a non-native speaker. As BP has demonstrated there just ain't no rules and it all has to be learned by rote. Then there's this bit about what you can do to sentence structure and not change the meaning of the thing!

Then there's UK English, US English, CDN English, AU English and we've not even touched, yet, upon all the sub-dialects! WAFM!

BikerPuppy - Funny thing is I just had that sent to me in an email. I would add words like porchswing, housefly and rubberband...wait....those are from a Dumbo song.
