Tink: awwwww! she's so CUTE! Give her a little lovin for me!

I just moved Chewie's cage. I've got one of those L-shaped computer desks so I've got plenty of room on it. I moved my printer to on top of my computer's tower to make room and then put Chewie's cage on the desk so he can be closer to me when I'm online.

I think this weekend I'll build him a bigger cage myself. The one I got at PetFart's recommendation just seems way too small for an active rat and Chewie himself doesn't seem to like how small it is. So he's gonna get himself a bigger home.

First dates....what to say....and "all 'dat".....UPDATE, UPDATE

by logansrun in

yeah....see below....

Bendrr

I get so nervous about a "first date"! I want everything to be just perfect. I've only had a scant few, but have always ended up having a great time anyways.

Mike.

p.s. Can I make a suggestion? Seeing as Frannie's "pick up lines" thread got hijacked and crashed in a fiery mess, maybe we could give her a little respect and incorporate some of the bad pickup lines we used to get those first dates?

thought we could all share a few of our favorites...here's one i'm fond of....

"chaps my grits" is a southern colloquialism, referring.

to.....well, i guess you better know what grits is.

Bendrr

I don't use all of these, but do use quite a few.

F***ed up as a soup sandwich / football bat / busload of Jerry's kids. (please don't take offense at the Jerry's kids reference)

He/She could f*** up a steel anvil with a rubber hammer.

I'd rather take an ass-whuppin' than....

Looks like four monkeys tryin' to f*** a football.

God bless a milk cow!

He's so slow I need to draw a circle around him to see if he's movin'

Granny was slow but she was 90.

Old folks f*** faster than he's movin'

She's about as sharp as a bowling ball.

If dumb was gasoline you wouldn't wanna smoke around him.

She's so ugly you could mash her face in dough and make gorilla cookies.

Good googly-moogly!

Somebody oughtta slap his momma for havin' him!

I'm so poor I can't pay attention.

He's got so much money he writes a check and the bank bounces.

Gotta love the south!

Judge Roy Moore (The Ten Commandments Judge)

by UnDisfellowshipped in

i'd like to hear everyone's comments about judge roy moore, the "ten commandments judge" in alabama.. i have a couple of questions:.

here is what the constitution of the united states of america says:.

that's it.. is judge roy moore congress?.

When this whole war over that monument started, I was in favor of just letting it stay there. I mean seriously, why are people getting so torqued over a *thing* right?

Then I got to see the people on both sides.

Now I say take that damn *thing* out of that courthouse and put it in A CHURCH WHERE IT BELONGS. There seems to be more hysteria on the part of some of Moore's supporters and some of that hysteria really scares the hell out of me. If there's violence to happen at that courthouse it won't suprise me one little bit.

I still don't support the complete eradication of all references to "God" and Christianity in our public places. Christians do a lot of good things and shouldn't be viewed as a whole on the basis of the zealots. I remember something to that effect being said about Islam a couple of years ago.

Not long ago I said "what's the big deal, it's just a *thing*, get over it and move on to bigger and better things." I say the same thing now, except I'm saying it to those who would spend their time at that courthouse all day instead of at their jobs or homes, get a grip people! Your church is still standing and your religion is alive and well. Go practice it and teach your children to "do what Jesus would do" because he sure as hell wouldn't be in a riot-waiting-to-happen over 5 thousand pounds of granite. I can't remember the passage or exact words right now, but I do remember something to the effect of Jesus came to fulfill the Mosaic law. Jesus himself summed up the law pretty succinctly when he told his disciples it all boiled down to "you must love your neighbor as yourself". (is it just me or does he sound a little Libertarian? "don't hurt anybody and don't take their stuff")

Yeah, just get that *thing* out of there and move on with your lives Alabama. I'll still hold to my original position regarding the opposers of Moore's. There's bigger battles to fight than over a sculpture in a courthouse.

We've got a long way to go y'all.

Or maybe the old geezers finally decided they'd had enough of the big city and wanted a quiet view of the Catskills and to be a little closer to "the launching pad".

Learning The Language.

by Englishman in

jw
friends

a few moments ago, in the chat room, reference was made to a tv series called "mi 5".

now simon, little toe and myself had never heard of it, even though it's a brit programme.

reason is, because in the uk, it's simply called "spooks".. it was immediately pointed out to us that this is a derogatory term in the us, although over here it simply means "ghosts".. so, ladeez and gentlemen, .

Bendrr

E-Man, I just love hearing British English spoken. Especially by a woman!

Hopefully I'll be able to make it to the Int'l Freedomfest so I can hear you and my other British friends in person!

Oh and about that word "spooks". I haven't heard it used to refer to black folks in years, hopefully that particular meaning is being lost. I've heard it plenty of times in spy movies, even ones made in our modern "politically correct" day.

Corporate stupidy (doors and blind people)

by Simon in

jw
friends

i work for a large company.

the site i am on has several thousand people on it.. some of them are stupid.. to be fair, i think it's the group-think effect that creates corporate stupidity where no one has the gumption or the energy to stand up and say "this is a dumb idea".. the latest example of this happened today.

we've been in the current open-plan office for about 2 years.

Bendrr

To help people further I've stuck a post-it note on the door with "Door" written on and one with an arrow saying "Handle".

Good one Simon!

I'm glad to know America isn't unique in the dumbing down of society. Unfortunately Simon, signs like that which you and I may consider unnecessary are in fact necessary for some of our intelligence-challenged fellow humans. People can be just plain stupid these days.

Any idea on how to tell the age? PetSmart couldn't tell me how old he was. I know they only live like a couple of years, so I hope I didn't get an old geezer.

I don't have too much experience with rats. Chewie doesn't seem to be very active. Possibly he's still getting used to me and his new home.
