QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) Why would you put an Umbrella in a chimney. See I told you guys I was a genius. Would it be stroking your genius ego to tell you that my 7-YEAR OLD came home from school with that one the other day? OK then, here's another one from Mr.Whoopie: What has 18 legs and catches flies?

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 09:50 PM) Smoke? Nope.

What goes up a chimney down, but can't go down a chimney up? [Why does that sound like Mr. Whoopie from Tennessee Tuxedo asking that question?]

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) Why was my Congrats Mr. Zero thread deleted? Ridiculous. Good question. I thought it was funny. Looked like Zero got busy.

7. Born in Boston, Mass. whe it was a British colony, so the parents and kids are Brits. 9. The girls is an Aussie, and Dec. 27 would be in the Austral summer.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 04:47 PM) Old as the hills but... The beginning of eternity, the end of time and space. The beginning of every end and the end of every race. What is it? the letter "e"...

Ach, I looked. Should have got #2. I'll take credit for char(coal). Should have noticed what was od with that paragraph as well.

Oh, yeah... 3. COAL??

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) 1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in three years. Which room is safest for him? 2. A woman shoots her husband, then she holds him under water for over five minutes. Finally, she hangs him. Five minutes later they go out and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be? 3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away? 4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? 5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching! I'll post the answers below, with a spoiler warning... 1. Room 3; lions that haven't eaten in three years = dead lions 2. I dunno. Maybe the husband is Houdini? Shot out of a cannon, put in a water trap, hung in a cage?? 4. Yesterday, today, tomorrow??

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) Then, there should be a non-Sox "baseball talk only" area created. Any movement in Major League Baseball affects the White Sox one way or another. Did it kill you to have to wade through the thread?

QUOTE(Man Of Steel @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 12:59 PM) haha holy s*** thats like the funniest thing ive ever seen... man thats great and I also agree with these guys, Flintstones suckass Bite your tongue! Until they decided they needed to jump the shark and added Gazoo, it was a great show. As an animated series in primetime for 5 years it was the Simpsons of it's time. My favorit line form the Borowitz link, on how the groups isn't content to just ban the cartoon: We are very uncomfortable with Fruity Pebbles

QUOTE(thomsonmi @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 12:52 PM) Call me crazy but an ALCentral rival acquisition seems to have something to do with the Pale Hose. Crazy perhaps, but correct. Moves in Central bear directly on the Sox and are of interest to Pale Hose perusers, IMO.

Dang. Now I have to see Blazing Saddles again. And I finally just read the original "Focus on Flinstones" link. My favorite line from that is how the group wants to look at more than just banning the cartoons: “We are very uncomfortable with Fruity Pebbles” Borowitz is very funny.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) But nothing tops... "Excuse me while I whip this out..." Sheriff Bart Can't forget: Lammar: You spare the women? Taggart: No, we rape the s*** out of them Lamarr: Qualifications? Outlaw: Rape, murder, arson and rape. Lamarr: You said rape twice. Outlaw: I like rape.

What a mess. I wanna work there and get a retirement package like that put together on the side.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 12:37 PM) "Go do that voodoo that you do so well!" That line from Blazing Saddles always makes me laugh. Good line, but it doesn't hold a candle to this Korman quote from History of the World pt. 1: Count de Monet: Your Majesty, you look like the Piss Boy. To which Mel responds: King Louis XVI: And you look like a bucket of s***!

The Tigers are really making some moves here at the end of the off-season. Less the Royals, Central could be a tight race this year.

QUOTE(winodj @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 12:14 PM) Wasn't Paul Lynde the Great Gazoo anyway? Negative. Harvey Korman was the voice of the Great Gazoo in the original series.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 10:07 AM) Learn to speak Texas, that's All hat and no cattle . . . My mistake. I still like the earlier working title too... "PresiDense"

Good list. I hear the working title for the musical is "All Hat and No Horse."

Here's hoping life at the Home For Retired Mascots is good. Happy B-Day!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 09:17 AM) You kidding? It's right there in the song... We'll have a GAY OLD TIIIMMME...! Oh yeah, I almost forgot. What about the Great Gazoo? He would have been center square for sure if Paul Lynd hadn't already had the gig.

Love the eyebrow thing.

Here come the street cleaners.
