I'm half tempted to never leave the unicorn forest again...somebody say something funny...make a bad pun...anything!! :'(
I went for a drive last week with my Hindu friend Hita and my other friend Julie , who is an Israeli.
The car broke down. We manged to get to a farm and knocked on the door. The guy said no problems staying the night but I've only two beds. One of you has to sleep in the barn. Julie said no problem and headed of. We went to bed,. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. It was Julie. Sorry my friends but there is a pig in the barn and I cannot sleep there. No problems says Hita and goes off. We settle. Another knock on the door. Hita is there. I'm soo sorry there is a cow in the barn and I cannot sleep ther. OK I say and go to the barn. Lie down and fall asleep. There is a knock on the farmers door. They open it. And there staning is a pig and a cow. :D

Good Job! Your work here is through.
That's more of an eye-roller.
I'm not good at funny (at least in text), but I will try offering amusement. Anyway, there are legions of traditionalists who wax poetic about how women act or present differently from men because those are choices they make. Let's test this theory with a timely example: go to eBay and do a search for "easter dress."
Look at the "Women's Clothing" category to see how many dresses adults voluntarily buy for themselves.
Then look at the "Infants & Toddlers" and the "Girls" categories to see how many dresses adults will buy for someone who cannot provide informed consent.
To be fair, the "Christmas dress" search only gives about a three to one ratio.

CSI:Miami is written by mindless fools and mostly acted by psychotics. I laugh at it all the time.
They accuse everyone they run into. They make judgemental comments to innocent people. They have some kind of standard that makes them infallable and better than everyone else. And a drunken coma victim could have all of their cases thrown out.

Who carried some stuff in a bucket
One day he said I'd rather be dead
Than carry this stuff
Then chucked it
He then came across
A golden field of Unicorns
Dancing about

No doubt
Began to dance about too
And said oh screw
Anyone that does not like it
Just then remembered the beer
And ran off to hide
And go Pee

How to catch a polar bear:
First, you get a hand saw and a can of peas. Then, you walk out onto the ice and saw a big hole in it. Next, you set the can of peas beside the hole and wait. Finally, when the polar bear comes out to take a pea, you kick him in the ice hole.
(hope that doesn't offend anyone :embarrassed: )
The Polar Bears may be offended, But I'm sure they'll get over it :laugh:

You should go to the readers digest site rd.com and submit that one. If they print it, they give you $300.00. They probably wouldn't even reword much (maybe they'd change 'kid' to 'child' or something).
Then you can send me $300.00 for the idea.

You did alright. We'd have to turn you in, though, if you used the word 'carrot' instead of 'pea'. Cause we don't like carrots and I, personally, am offended by their presence.

The first Bunny hops into the garden noticing the farmer is not about.

Two Aussies in Rome went to the Vatican and saw the Pope being carried in his chair blessing the faithful. They were impressed. That night at the bar they asked the barman what was the Pope's favoutite drink, Creme de Menthe he replied. We'll have two pints of Creme de menthe. After four rounds they were feeling seedy. Walking back to the hotel they passed out in an alley. Next day woke up feeling rat s**t. They lookat each other ans say, No wonder they carry him around in a chair.

A politician was campaigning on an Indian Reservation and was elated when every time he made a promise to the tribe, it was answered by the Elders and men standing and chanting "Ruk Ruk" while thumping their left chest with their left arm.
When the women joined in, he was en rapture.
After the speach, he headed for his limo to hit the campaign trail anew.
He spotted his ride across a rail fenced field.
Asking a local if he could cut across the field instead of walking around, he was told; sure,
but you might want a flash light so you don't step in the "Ruk".

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
Plato: For the greater good.
Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability.
Machiavelli: So that its subjects will view it with admiration,
as a chicken which has the daring and courage to
boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom
among them has the strength to contend with such a
paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the
princely chicken's dominion maintained.
Hippocrates: Because of an excess of light pink gooey stuff in its
pancreas.
Jacques Derrida: Any number of contending discourses may be discovered
within the act of the chicken crossing the road, and
each interpretation is equally valid as the authorial
intent can never be discerned, because structuralism
is DEAD, DAMMIT, DEAD!
Thomas de Torquemada: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll find out.
Timothy Leary: Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment
would let it take.
Douglas Adams: Forty-two.
Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road
gazes also across you.
Oliver North: National Security was at stake.
B.F. Skinner: Because the external influences which had pervaded its
sensorium from birth had caused it to develop in such a
fashion that it would tend to cross roads, even while
believing these actions to be of its own free will.
Carl Jung: The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt
necessitated that individual chickens cross roads at
this historical juncture, and therefore
synchronicitously brought such occurrences into being.
Jean-Paul Sartre: In order to act in good faith and be true to itself,
the chicken found it necessary to cross the road.
Ludwig Wittgenstein: The possibility of "crossing" was encoded into the
objects "chicken" and "road", and circumstances came
into being which caused the actualization of this
potential occurrence.
Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed
the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.
Aristotle: To actualize its potential.
Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken-
nature.
Howard Cosell: It may very well have been one of the most astonishing
events to grace the annals of history. An historic,
unprecedented avian biped with the temerity to attempt
such an herculean achievement formerly relegated to
homo sapien pedestrians is truly a remarkable occurence.
Salvador Dali: The Fish.
Darwin: It was the logical next step after coming down from
the trees.
Emily Dickinson: Because it could not stop for death.
Epicurus: For fun.
Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.
Johann von Goethe: The eternal hen-principle made it do it.
Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.
Werner Heisenberg: We are not sure which side of the road the chicken
was on, but it was moving very fast.
David Hume: Out of custom and habit.
Jack Nicholson: 'Cause it (censored) wanted to. That's the (censored)
reason.
Pyrrho the Skeptic: What road?
Ronald Reagan: I forget.
John Sununu: The Air Force was only too happy to provide the
transportation, so quite understandably the chicken
availed himself of the opportunity.
The Sphinx: You tell me.
Mr. T: If you saw me coming you'd cross the road too!
Henry David Thoreau: To live deliberately ... and suck all the marrow
out of life.
Mark Twain: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.
Molly Yard: It was a hen!
Zeno of Elea: To prove it could never reach the other side.
Chaucer: So priketh hem nature in hir corages.
Wordsworth: To wander lonely as a cloud.
The Godfather: I didn't want its mother to see it like that.
Keats: Philosophy will clip a chicken's wings.
Blake: To see heaven in a wild fowl.
Othello: Jealousy.
Dr Johnson: Sir, had you known the Chicken for as long as I have,
you would not so readily enquire, but feel rather the
Need to resist such a public Display of your own
lamentable and incorrigible Ignorance.
Mrs Thatcher: This chicken's not for turning.
Supreme Soviet: There has never been a chicken in this photograph.
Oscar Wilde: Why, indeed? One's social engagements whilst in
town ought never expose one to such barbarous
inconvenience - although, perhaps, if one must cross a
road, one may do far worse than to cross it as the
chicken in question.
Kafka: Hardly the most urgent enquiry to make of a low-grade
insurance clerk who woke up that morning as a hen.
Swift: It is, of course, inevitable that such a loathsome,
filth-ridden and degraded creature as Man should assume
to question the actions of one in all respects his
superior.
Macbeth: To have turned back were as tedious as to go o'er.
Whitehead: Clearly, having fallen victim to the fallacy of
misplaced concreteness.
Freud: An die andere Seite zu kommen. (Much laughter)
Hamlet: That is not the question.
Donne: It crosseth for thee.
Pope: It was mimicking my Lord Hervey.
Constable: To get a better view.

Of course. "Meccano" sounds like something you use to make cool killer robots. "Erector Set," on the other hand, sounds too much like a dead-end construction job you might grow up to toil at until you either retire or die.
a dead-end construction job
I'm sure many are. I'm just as sure that my working for a construction company sent me all over the world, and the people who worked there made very good money. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge I interviewed a bunch of guys (and they were all guys) about working on that thing and to a man, every man-jack one of them told me it was the greatest thing they ever did in their life, and each and every time over those 50 years they looked up at that bridge they had a feeling of great satisfaction.
Myself, most of what I do is construction by a different name. We take an empty stage - a black box - and build within it a show, and put that show on, and when its done we take it all back to that empty stage, that black box. And a thousand, or two thousand, or like Outside Lands, 10 thousand people have a good time, are entertained, perhaps even enlightened a bit.
As for a dead end, perhaps moving bricks from point A to point B might be that, but anyone with real construction skills can make very, very good money.
And, its honest work. And, at the end of the day you've done more than push a pile of papers from one side of the desk to the other. I look at some of the shows I've helped put on and know exactly how those guys who built that bridge felt.

Someone, PLEASE, get me cool cloth for my forehead,
I'm feeling faint. Am I about to agree with Tekla? :icon_blink:
There is no greater feeling in the world than the satisfaction
in a job well done. Not so much in any recognition of your
accompishments, which is your due, but the KNOWING within
yourself that, with yours hands, you made the world a slight
more beautiful, awe inspiring or simply a more accessible
place for someone you'll never meet.
Forgive me for lapsing into a moment of tongue-in-cheek cynicism, but after 30 years of literally wearing my body out - and still earning the same wage that I made in the early 80s, when I was still a kid (except now I don't get any retirement or medical benefits) - I guess I was somehow looking forward to just a wee bit more reward than the satisfaction of a job well done. :P

You mean it never occurred to him to blow up his own toys...? :rolleyes:
What an odd kid. ;D
They were trying to blow the toys up but didn't really know how :laugh:
what's the difference between a musician and a 401k plan? Eventually a 401k matures and makes money...
... and as for Legos... they is awesome. I still allow myself a bot of guilty pleasure every once in a while... and I'm -totally- mature and well-balanced :D (so says the Libra...)

Me too, I love it when people repost pix I can find in any number of thousands and thousands of other sites. Makes me feel all warm inside that they know how to use the 'save image as' feature.

How to catch a polar bear:
First, you get a hand saw and a can of peas. Then, you walk out onto the ice and saw a big hole in it. Next, you set the can of peas beside the hole and wait. Finally, when the polar bear comes out to take a pea, you kick him in the ice hole.
(hope that doesn't offend anyone :embarrassed: )
Growl Wroar! Hmpf! We polar bears are smarter than that! Sort of. I think. Kinda. Are you gonna eat those peas?
How do you catch a girl like Virginia?
"Well, that's a good question? Up for a dinner and a movie? Maybe a sporting event?"
"A sporting event sounds interesting, and I haven't been to the movies for awhile...But I can cook better than most restaurants. It would be nice to have a day away from cooking." :laugh:
"The opinions of a peculiar Goth Death Rocker girl are interesting. To say the least."

What did the elephant say to the naked man?
How do you breathe through that little thing?
"yes, yes, if it helps, you can buy all the big guns you want. Just keep them in your pants"
"Oh, and your a lifelong Republican too I see."
