KUDOS, NYC!
I often tell you that on our WWF games, too.
I heard it was a real miracle.Thank you.
Somebody who shall remain nameless just played “quad” for 99 points.
It was the only right word I probably played in weeks.Someone in a quandary played the wrong word.
It's an abbreviation. I would have challenged it.It was the only right word I probably played in weeks.

Is this the candidate that is "running" for office?Yesterday I got a large postcard in the mail from a man running for a town office. First I see a list of things he stands for. One is
Keep tax rates stable (so families have more money for their pets)
That made me turn the card over. On the face of the card there is a collage of six pictures, two of which show the candidate with his dog. The other four pictures are of the dog only.
I'm betting that if bad dog was still about then there are some US mailmen who would beat the marathon record.Is this the candidate that is "running" for office?

Forgive me (especially two of you) but this came from a thread kids in schools and also about problems with names (and I fall into that category).
I worked in an innercity school. First day, I got around hard to pronounce names by calling out last names to check attendance, and asking my kiddos what name they preferred... and explained even nicknames were ok, so long as parents knew who I would be calling about. I get to one particularly dark skinned young man and he says something that sounds like “bluk boi” I look around and no one is laughing. I ask him to repeat himself a couple of times and finally and clearly says, “black boy”. Rest of convo went like this-
Me laughing: black boy!? You want me to call you black boy?!
Him, totally serious: yeah, everyone calls me that. Even my grandma.
Me: so let me get this straight, when I need your attention you want me, a white guy, to shout out “hey Black boy come here.”, “hey black boy, sit down”, “hey black boy pay attention”? Other kids finally realize what I’ve been laughing about and start to laugh too.
Him: yeah (said like I’m an idiot)
Me: you’re just trying to get me fired aren’t you
Him: so you’re not gonna call me black boy?
Me: I can’t man. Did you get another nickname?
Him: How about Monkey
We settled on BB for the year.

I watched a movie on Netflix two days ago; "Black Crab". I didn't really like it very well, but today I had already forgotten what it was about, so I'd googled to jog my memory...thank goodness I still remember several hours later....I always remember my favorites though.
This is a "True Confession", not a movie...anyone else have a story of your own?
Your memory is still sharp.Twilight Zone nearly all episodes.
Star Trek all episodes. Original series.
Harry Potter.
Soon Inventing Anna memorized.

I knoooooow! That's what I told my Butler.Intolerable! It just goes to show that one disaster attracts the other!

No, the butler is just a very good listener and hopes for a raise.What! You talk with your butler? Are you a psychologist or 'somethin?

I'm clueless.
Turga, I think you are lots of things, but clueless isn't an adjective to describe you.Welcome in the club

A great story, BB...it gave me a laugh even if it "might" be a true story. I've been told recently I look in my 50's...now that's a joke, but I'll accept it. Boy oh boy, I never thought I'd like being told that, but my ship has sailed on a lot farther so it sounds good to me, even if the person was just "buttering me up".This reminds me of a story of when I was in Richmond Virginia.
I had travelled to bring my eldest son back from University and we were in a restaurant having an evening meal.
My son ordered a Wheat beer (nope...me neither) and showed his i/d as proof of age.
The waitress asked what i would like. I went for any American beer i could think of. She just stood there looking at me and I tentatively/quizacally asked if she wanted to see proof from me. She said yes so I pulled out my driving licence.
Her reply (to my smile) was "Sorry about that sir...its the law....and you look so damn young.
It was a true story alright....and she was being perfectly serious (not)A great story, BB...it gave me a laugh even if it "might" be a true story.

That all depends...did you have any "Grecian Formula 44" in your hair?It was a true story alright....and she was being perfectly serious (not)
No, it's true. You're the Lena Horne of our time.I've been told recently I look in my 50's...now that's a joke, but I'll accept it.
That picture was taken on her 133rd birthday.Hmmm, not sure if this is a pun or compliment, but she is/was an attractive lady...except for those fangs.

It's amazing what plastic can do, in addition to ruining our environment.I was watching an interview on television with Vera Wang.
She looked like she was in her twenties/thirties. I fell off my perch when I found out she was in her mid seventies.

It's been three and a half weeks of travel and hanging out so far. We are leaving Gulf Shores tomorrow for a couple of days in the Florida panhandle. Then we drive north to park the trailer in my sister's front yard for a bit. Then we head home stopping at yet unknown heres and theres.Rick, are you and phantom Peg still meandering around in your tiny home? I realize this is a personal conversation/question and off piste to any Notsense.
So true for me, but if I didn't have any change in my pocket it was of no use.
And people gripe about the size of their Camino backpacks.
Another ice cream and chocolate fan I see.So true for me, but if I didn't have any change in my pocket it was of no use.
I think you are saying I spent all my money on "good stuff"...yep!Another ice cream and chocolate fan I see.
Reminds me of the question posed to George Best ( a famous footballer) who had a reputation of enjoying all that the nightlife could offer him, possessing remarkable riches and never short of a beautiful woman on either arm.Should be a famous quote:
"I spent my money on wine, women and song. I didn't say I wasted it."
Another famous George...
