  So where the hell is my big fat Greek shepherding call?

  by expatbrit in

  2. friends

  it's march 31. last day of the big round-up, isn't it?.

  well i haven't seen the merest hint of a shepherds crook, let alone a crooked shepherd.

  and you'd think i'd be an easy mark, what with the jw wife to let the elders in.

  All of Lisa's faults! (And all of yours, too!)

  by LDH in

  2. friends

  well i got the impression from teejay that i can come across as supercilious; that i don't think i have any faults.

  so for the sake of posterity, i am herewithin listing all of my faults (that i know about, lol).i frequently don't explain my thoughts thoroughly; i'm in a rush and just try to write down what i'm thinking at the moment.

  this leads to unclear reasoning when others read my words; on more than one occasion, i'll admit.i'm too quick with the sarcasm.

  I can't say it any better than Mac Davis already has.

  It's Hard To Be Humble

  Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
  when you're perfect in every way.
  I can't wait to look in the mirror
  cause I get better loking each day.
  To know me is to love me
  I must be a hell of a man.
  Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
  but I'm doing the best that I can.
  I used to have a girlfriend
  but she just couldn't compete
  with all of these love starved women
  who keep clamoring at my feet.
  Well I prob'ly could find me another
  but I guess they're all in awe of me.
  Who cares, I never get lonesome
  cause I treasure my own company.
  Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
  when you're perfect in every way,
  I can't wait to look in the mirror
  cause I get better looking each day
  To know me is to love me
  I must be a hell of a man.
  Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
  but I'm doing the best that I can.
  I guess you could say I'm a loner,
  a cowboy outlaw tough and proud.
  I could have lots of friends if I want to
  but then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd.
  Some folks say that I'm egotistical.
  Hell, I don't even know what that means.
  I guess it has something to do with the way that I
  fill out my skin tight blue jeans.
  Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
  when you're perfect in every way,
  I can't wait to look in the mirror
  cause I get better looking each day
  To know me is to love me
  I must be a hell of a man.
  Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
  but I'm doing the best that I can.
  We're doing the best that we can

  Saddam has key to Detroit & "Maxim"-ize the troops

  by Uzzah in

  1. social
  2. current

  these stories qualify as the "strange but true" articles of the day.... i am not posting this to fan flames but found the two stories interesting and both raised an eyebrow but in different ways.... a gift worth a foot in the mouth .

  this is one gift the city of detroit may never be able to live down.

  back in 1980, when times were much different than they are now and the u.s. was on a completely different footing with a certain despotic middle eastern leader, saddam hussein was given the key to the motor city.

  thanks, seven- i was looking for this thread!

  this is ridiculous. the men get to look at boobs and whatnot, and the women are stuck learning how to knit Martha Stewart Bomb Cozies?!? how is that fair?

  i agree with xander- that is a slap in the face for the women serving in the military. it would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

  i have a lump in the back of my mouth.

  it appeared around thanksgiving, and it was preceeded by a large black spot that appeared when i started smoking cheap cigarettes.

  ColdRedRain-

  PLEASE go see an oncologist as soon as possible. Like Francois said, do something while you have time. I'm so sorry- I know you must be so scared.

  Unfortunately, I can believe your parents said what they said. After all, they are jehovah's witnesses. They specialize in saying things that you wouldn't think loving compassionate human beings would be capable of saying to eachother; let alone members of your own family.

  hiya Phil

  i don't really give a rip what she looks like- it's her music that i don't like. i don't care if she's pretty or ugly, fat or skinny, or what have you.

  i disagree that sharing a few laughs with your friends at the expense of some pop star "tends to lower the quality of the board as a whole" as you put it.

  please excuse us for adding levity to a very serious subject. just what is it ok to laugh about these days, anyway?
