QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 11:18 AM) I am a native American now. O.K., are we getting all technical here...or are you actually Indian? I've been told that "Indians" actually prefer being called "Indian" and actually are more offended by "Native American". I was told this by Owl Goingback, who is a great author. He's Russian.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 08:56 AM) How can you die if you never lived? But who is to say what is "living" to each individual? For me, living is seeing the movies I want to see, hearing the music I want to hear, playing as many guitars as I can, and the obvious ones of seeing my children grow old, meeting their children, and spending a lifetime with my wife. Living to me is not falling out of an airplane and/or climbing big things. But this the path these guys chose, hopefully they are O.K.

Man, you and your Silly Putty. Would you believe though that I have an egg of it sitting right in front of me on my desk? But then aagain, I also have a mini-Rubiks Cube, about 30 superballs, a rubber stretchy Creature From The Black Lagoon and a Wolf-Man, a yo-yo, a bunch of mini Godzilla (and Baragon) and Gamera toys, and a little Green Goblin (which will be going home to my Spider-Man freak son).

I try to be polite with a quick "No, sorry" and then hang up. You do know that there are scams out there where they pose as a telemarketer and get you to talk to them, while they record the conversation. Then they take the snippets out of the conversation such as you saying "yeah" or "yes" and turn it into a recorded conversation of you agreeing to a bunch of their crap, and thereby gaining access to your money and crap. I've seen numerous specials on these things, and that is why you are told to answer as quickly as possible and never to use the words "yes" or any other agreeable term. The only ones I am somewhat rude to are the police fundraising drives they do about this time of year. But then I am only rude to them because they are never courteous to me, and are always a pain to get off the phone with.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 11, 2006 -> 05:29 PM) My kid brother was selected to be in the cardboard box relay race the one and only time we were in the studio audience for a Bozo taping. This was a relay race variant where each kid had two boxes and had to step out of one box and into the other, then reach around and grab the first box, put it in front of them and repeat until they made it to the otther side. Well, my bro's team had it in the bag, ahead by half a lap, and there were some killer take-home prizes at stake (including Silly Putty, I'm sure). Then – and no disrespect to your fine organization, Tex – this kid on my bro's team in full Cub Scout uniform, stops at the turn-around of his lap, and takes 10 seconds to reach deep in there and pull the underwear out of his arse before finishing, costing them the race and that sweet, sweet Silly Putty. I don't know how much I believe you. Maybe it was a time difference. My sister was also in one of these races (circa 1979). Her team won, and all they brought back were big banks full of Tootise Rolls. As we later found out, the Circus gave the better prize to the losing team to make up for the fact that they suck, and the winners got the junk because winning was a good enough prize. My sister was sooooo pissed. I had just bought 4 packs of Star Wars cards that day, so I didn't give a rats ass no matter what.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 12:17 AM) No guilt there. Unless, by "Scotch" you actually meant "Scotts" and by "Scotts" you actually meant them: Hey, the Bay City Rollers had some decent songs. Saturday Night may have been overplayed, but if that thing never became a MONSTER hit, it would be an underground classic. The "high brow" crowd hated them for the money they made, and the pants.

Debbie Harry was once upon a time hot. But man, did Blondie suck.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 10, 2006 -> 12:28 PM) What do you want to bet that the Frito Bandito was deemed politically incorrect? Would you believe that the Bandito was a Tex Avery creation? One of his last. QUOTE(Brian @ Dec 10, 2006 -> 09:35 PM) Jessica Rabbit is my generation. Jessica Rabbit should be everybodies generation. Greatest female cartoon creation ever. Followed only by Red from the Tex Avery toons.

I stopped caring about this thread. Then I started to care again. Now I am about to go back to not caring.

Did he leave the road because it was snow covered and he didn't know where the road was? Does anybody know that? If the road was visible, what the heck logic is there in walking into the woods?

Whatever happened to the GOOD version of Good N Fruity, the original style? Whatever happened to Coke II? And since it is gone, why do they still call Coca-Cola "Coca-Cola Classic"?

QUOTE(bmags @ Dec 6, 2006 -> 06:52 PM) or yo yo's... they still make those? They got banned in my elementary school because kids heads were getting cracked. I stayed away from those devil spinners. I have a bunch of yo-yo's. It's another one of my semi-hobbies. My favorite is a wonderful BC Backbird wooden yo-yo. Whatever happened to Zots? Whatever happened to the REAL Whatchamacallit bar? The one without the friggin' caramel. Whatever happened to the REAL Honeycombs? The ones that were big.

Anybody else a little shocked that Tex and Flaxx aren't here getting all "geeky" on us???

I've done it. I have a buddy who swears by it. Recently I had some ear problems where the wax was so deeply imbedded from an illness that nothing I could do would get it out. I would wake up in the mornings deaf because the canals would seal up from lying on my sides. So, I caved in and bought some from the local health food store. They come to about $5 for two of them. I bought 4, 2 for my wife and 2 for me. I went home and did them. I didn't notice crap afterwards, other than a ton of wax in the candle bottom. But my wife said she did notice a difference. My buddy still swears by them, but I will never buy them again or recommend them to anybody. They do sound REAL cool as they get closer to your ear though.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 5, 2006 -> 12:57 PM) And its "manditory" f*** all that noise. It's mandatory for some of us. My boss has arranged it so that there is a meeting in the morning that I have to be there for (or so he says, even though I don't need the meeting) which will be right next to the "party". It's all so that he looks good to the owner. He told me I could just drive back here and finish my day working here and skip the party. It's all f*cked.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 5, 2006 -> 12:46 PM) Just get really drunk and make a pass at him, then you won't have to worry about a mandatory party next Christmas. Can't happen. Because of last year alcohol has been taken away from us, spouses are no longer allowed, and it is a "luncheon". It's also being held an hour and a half away from where I live.

I have a new one!!! But I am not going to type it here in case my bosses happen to wander by. Oh...f*** it...mandatory company Christmas parties can kiss my f'in ass.
