Texsox Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Subject: Jeff Foxworthy on Chicago[/font] Forget Rednecks .....here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about .Chicago If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you live in Chicago If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you live in Chicago If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Chicago. If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you live in Chicago If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of I - 80 for the weekend, you live in Chicago. If you measure distance in hours, you live in Chicago. If you have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again, you live in Chicago If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Chicago. If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you live in Chicago. If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you live in Chicago. If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you live in Chicago If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you live in Chicago. If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you live in Chicago. If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you live in Chicago If you find 10 degrees "a little chilly", you live in Chicago . If you actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all your friends & others, you live in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 03:56 PM) baleen or sperm? If this is a legitimate question (rather than a bad joke), the answer is baleen, almost certainly minke. Iceland is planning on taking 38 of them this year as they resume whaling to the dismay of the rest of the world outside of japan and Norway. Japanese "scientific" whaling has also legally taken fin and sei whales, and has illegally taken humpback and even blue whales according to DNA recon done on whalemeat products purchased at market. As far as I know only a few indiginous peoples hunt toothed whales. The Faroe islanders (an oceanic atoll between Iceland and Scotland) still take pilot whales on a sustencence scale, and some North American Inuit tribes take beluga. There's 100 ice-trapped beluga being taken by an Inuit village at this moment, as a matter of fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Correct, Iceland is now fully admitting to commercial whaling, but strictly limiting the quota to between 30 and 40 whales. (30 minke and 9 fin). There are approximately 44,000 Minke Whales in Icelandic waters. 39 whales a year is a sustainable harvest of one of the few natural resources that Iceland has available to it to feed its population. And it was delicious. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rexkickass My pics from Iceland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Pratt Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Got a new cat today. Told Anne, my friend, that she could name it. She named it Lina, as in, Felina. Just Lina, though. It's a cute cat. It's a girl. Lina is tiny. Maybe six months. Runt and Greyback reacted different to her. Greyback was very friendly, just wanting to smell her. Runt hissed. I'd never heard Runt hiss before. I've never seen Runt as mad as she is today. I've seen her mad and jealous, like when Anne comes over, but not like this. Gave Lina a shower today, and I'll give her another so as to clean her feet because she still mildly stinks. That's what happens when you're abandoned and live in your own feces in a closet for a few weeks. Good cat. Gotta protect her, though, but I'm tired. I think I'm going to bed way early tonight.

Gene Honda Civic Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I agreed to watch my brother's dog, who doesn't exactly get along with my dog, this weekend. (We never do Thanksgiving in my family until Sunday because multiple members of the fam work in industries that don't care that a Thursday in November is a holiday, but they can always request the Sunday after it off.) He's off hunting. I don't do hunting. So I've spent the past 5 hours trying to keep two dogs from killing each other. I didn't even remember that tonight is the best bar night of the year. I can't believe I'm giving up getting laid for this. He owes me one hell of a Christmas gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyback makes me think of Grebeck which makes me think of Craig Grebeck which makes me think if I ever have a pet cat (not likely) I'll name it after a Sox middle infielder from the nineties.
