being that the last few posts of your thread looks like the picture forum's sig test thread, I'd beg to differ.

 

[Guest]

yeah nothing like having a friend and making a one line back to back to infinity conversation to waste internet space and label it babble, eh?

 

[derealcanuckeh]

actually I beg to differ I think that there are a few things that are kind of similar however I could be wrong its happened once in the past

 

[Guest]

It's silly to wonder what went wrong in a babble thread when the very purpose by definition is near purposeless. Still, I couldn't help but wonder where these locust breed came from, these standard drill bit sects ready to rip the grain. We had it steady and honest. Without me, that's for sure. The grind. I can still feel that first sweat of the summer. We didn't ask for marsh mallow colonists, that stork in the sky just dropped them on us, those pseudo men dressed in rag. I never disliked the cold head so much, that troilism between the twins and that dame whip holder named Stratics.

We are back and I have seen enough (way more than enough) of the state of Kentucky to last me a lifetime.

What ever happened to the era when freeways were marked with numbers instead of peoples names ? WTF cares who so and so was past present or future in history that an entire chunk of freeway is named after them ? And why do they not mark a darn foo thing on these parkways so ya have a clue as to where your really are ??

We felt like trying something different than the usual way to get from Memphis to Evansville Ind. *rolls eyes* GAH I do not wish to see that much of Kentucky ever again !!! At one place we zigged where we shoulda zagged thus 20 mins of our life time gone on missing that turn quickly recooped that loss with a very fast U TURN !! Then on another named after who cares expressway there was to be this turn off from going somewhat east to NORTH that should have led us right up to where we wanted to go. *wasnt marked natch* so we missed that turnoff ...thus when they finally bothered to slap up an informative road sign and it read Fort Knox and Louisville we figured we were a good 1.5 hrs too far east and had to ..turn that back around making another 1.5 hrs of seeing Kentucky all over again ........3 fricken hours of extra time *and the earlier 20 mins* being lost in Kentucky !!! That state is TOO WIDE it needs to be downsized !

And we had NO INTENTION to see it at all save for what was supposed to be a tiny jog thru it S TO N not s n e and w too ! A simple s to n trip that should have taken 5 hours hit 8 . 5 hrs long !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say we came home the ususal way, on the regular freeways not the wonder parkway named after people freeways, all over Kentucky that do not clue ya in as to where the heck ya are ever !

*goes into a coma after rt driving trip to and fro, from the south usa to the north usa in 24 hrs *

OH btw the two shelties we brought home with us from our daughter's ..the one remembered where he hid his tennis ball and squeaky toy that we spent hours looking for, before they left us from a trip visiting us here clear back in JULY !! The dogs knew exactly where they hid their toys IN our house and found em 15 mins after they got settled down in our home ! Unbeliveable !

 

[imported_fyr]

You ever watch that movie Wrong Turn, about West Virginia? You would never travel ever again on the back roads, if you watched that

 

[Guest]

My ex used to tell me that....still haven't seen the flick....but I loved taking her on back country roads

 

[Guest]

No but I have seen Deliverance. There some places in Kentucky there that reminded me of the movie Deliverance so in those spots, ya do not wanna stop at all.... at nor have your vehicle break down !

 

[Guest]

You know...your post made me realize I can be a really twisted feller....

The fishing hole I go to's a little backwoods...but occasionally there's some other folks out there...

Well, I decided to put the dueling banjos(the deliverance song) on a cd one time and got the bright idea when I saw other cars there and realized that the time of night and the weather made it a really fitting song, to put that cd on and my bullhorn right up against the truck speakers. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

 

[Guest]

Did any of those in other vehicles flee the area, at the time you played that music from Deliverance ?

 

[Guest]

this isn't related to the above, but I wanted to make sure you all were aware of Sony's recent DRM controversies.

For those who buy music from Sony, be weary of audio CDs that have digital copyright protection. The company Sony BMG has several CDs on the market that are protected, and they install dangerous rootkit software which may expose your system to worms and trojan viruses. Go here for more information:

and go here for a release list and

here for a removal tool

they say that they will have things changed by the 6th... but things are getting out of hand. it certaintly is not going to help Sony, nor help the trends of illegal p2p.

In South Korea, which has the highest rate of high-speed Internet use in the world, more than one-third of the population plays video games, with the result an alarming number of obsessive gamers requiring counseling (and, so far, two deaths after, respectively, 50 and 86 straight hours of playing). According to an October Associated Press dispatch from Seoul, at the many Internet cafes, gamers "typically live on instant (noodles) and cigarettes, barely sleeping and seldom washing." Video games are also a spectator sport: Three cable channels show matches, and the government is building an electronic-sports "stadium," where competitions will be shown on big screens. [Houston Chronicle-AP, 10-7-05]

 

[Guest]

I remember hearing about that when them studies got done.....Made me feel so much better about(in comparison) my mild obsession

As far as folks fleeing....naww...just saw all the lanterns flicker out right quick though

 

[derealcanuckeh]

Gamers only eat instant noodles and ciggarettes

bah I'm now past that I don't smoke and I prefer TV dinners then just noodles

jk jk

Sorry about the trip Queen reminds me of last year when I was driving the fam down to FL and we had a little car trouble had to pull off in NC then got it fixed and looked at the map decided the best way to go was to keep going and 4 hours later made it back to the interstate blarg 8 hours of NC was to much for me to take. ehhe

 

[Innocent One]

The saying is true....

Men don't like to ask for directions!

I get the " I know where I am going woman, so just hush" then an hour later..."Hrmm, this doesn't look right" then the look that only a jackass could have..."OK damn it, you(me) tell me where we are".

GPS is a great thing!

Well, I perfer cereal and Cigs myself...those noodles are loaded with salt.

 

[derealcanuckeh]

I asked for directions from my wife and she told me that we were going where we wanted to go just took a little scenery to get there we were never actually lost it just took too long to get where we wanted to get to.

Man " lets buy a GPS"
Woman " Men anything but ask for directions"

 

[imported_fyr]

Gamers drink ale and eat peanuts, cheetos, or Chex Mix or at least I do anyway.

Or if I have no ale, beer will do.

 

[Guest]

I just smoke my cigars and drink my hard liquor when I'm playing and don't have to work in 2-3 hours

...not much of an eater while playing usually...

 

[derealcanuckeh]

I'm a bigger fan of Doritos for a quick snack while playing or some popcorn it always good and I don't care what I'm drinking sometimes its wine sometimes is hard stuff sometimes is a cider sometimes its a beer of some sort.

 

[imported_fyr]

Oh yah popcorn is da bomb, especially popped on the stove the old school way with lots of butter n salt..

Hard liquour straight I am not much into, now a nice Zombie that would fit in with UO but lots of trouble to make so that's why I end up with Ale..

 

[Guest]

Eh I'm still young enough that my livers got plenty of room for holes

 

[derealcanuckeh]

I still have room for holes I just don't want any I don't want it to change colour either. hehe

My new fridge doesn't help me with that but I think moderation is a good thing.





most days

 

[Guest]

*takes a swig* yup I agree*takes another swig*...moderations great....I mean..*swig*...it's hard to drink and type at the same time so I'm forced to...*swig* take breaks..

 

[Innocent One]

Their really hasn't been much to babble about lately I see...no one has been here in 3 days.
Today Howard Stern starts his show on Sirius Satellite Radio. I have known of him since he was on DC101 back in the 80's and he has gotten fame and fortune since those days for his crudeness and nasty humor. Don't get me wrong, I like nasty humor as much as the next person

...the question is...What do people get out of his show besides the sexual aspect, besides the bathroom humor...what about the Howard Stern show makes you keep listening, or made you go satellite for $13 a month just to listen to him? He has been set free now, no more FCC to chew on his ass, should be quite the show from now on.

 

[LordWillieNelson]

I never cared to listem to him on the radio, but I do like watching the show on E!, purely for educational purposes mind you. The movies wasn't to bad either, but anything with Carol Alt in it can't be all bad.

Chocolate is made from the seeds of the tree Theobroma cacao. Theobroma is Greek for 'food of the gods'. The ancient Aztecs venerated the cacao tree and used its beans as a form of currency. They saw the tree as a source of strength and wealth and assigned their god Quetzalcoatl its guardian.

The Aztecs discovered that by crushing the beans into a paste and adding spices, they could make a refreshing and nourishing drink. This drink would have been very bitter, unlike our chocolate drinks today. 16th century European explorers brought the drink back from their travels, added sweeter flavourings, and soon it was popular as an expensive luxury.

The first chocolate bars
In the 1800s, solid chocolate became popular, with the invention of moulding processes. Mechanical grinders crushed cocoa beans to a fine powder that could be heated and poured into moulds, forming shapes as it cooled.

Dutchman Coenrad Van Houten perfected the extraction of cocoa butter from cocoa beans in 1825. The beans are crushed to a paste, which is subjected to very high pressure, forming chocolate liquor and cocoa butter. The extracted butter is smoothed and treated to remove any odours.

In the 1880s, Rudolphe Lindt of Switzerland started adding extra cocoa butter during chocolate manufacture, to make it smoother and glossier. Cocoa butter melts at around 97°F, which is human body temperature. That's why chocolate melts in the mouth.

Milk chocolate
In 1875, Swiss Daniel Peter perfected the manufacture of milk chocolate, which is sweeter and smoother than dark chocolate. Nestlé's recently-invented condensed milk was easy to mix with cocoa paste, unlike liquid milk.

Cadbury's 'Dairy Milk', first developed in 1905, is the UK's most popular chocolate bar. Milk chocolate is now the world's best-selling variety.

 

[Innocent One]

I have never really cared for chocolate 'anything' all that much. White chocolate I can do, milk chocolate is ok, but dark chocolate is terrible...bitter...yuk!

 

[Guest]

oy, I feel the exact opposite, dark being the best and white almost tastes like candle wax.

When is someone going to make... blue chocolate? that might be neato

 

[Guest]

I have given up UO for over a month now and have at least another to go AND NOT BY CHOICE! Arizona sucks for adoption and that's all there is to it. We are stuck here at least until the beginning of February. Grrrrrrr....

Anyways dear friends, I haven't quit, I'm just detained.

 

[imported_fyr]

Hey Bonami good to see you back. Hope your troubles will soon resolve

 

[Innocent One]

Yes, it is great to hear from you Bonami!
I hope things straighten out soon for you, but hey...isn't the weather pretty good in AZ this time of year?

Ok Fine!

On the road again
just can't wait to get on the road again....

Happy Willie?!

Anyway, Don't even talk about football! I bout lost my voice screaming at the Redskins Sat evening! They sucked so bad...the Sat before I screamed a bit to, but they pulled that game off. They didn't deserve to win Sat game with the way they played. I love going with the underdogs so yes I am a Redskins fan.

Hey I think we have run off the LS gang finally...must be our lameness/lack of babble.

Happy MLK Day

 

[LordWillieNelson]

Ive picked all but one of the playoff games right so far. Only miss was the redskins last week. I didn't expect them to win that one, but oh well, 7 out of 8 isn't too bad.
This week:

Steelers @ Broncos - Broncos giving 3, take points and Steelers to win
Panthers @ Seahawks - Seahawks giving 4 1/2, take the points and Panthers to win

 

[imported_fyr]

What? You're not a joker, a smoker, a midnight toker?

 

[LordWillieNelson]

nope... but I know some one name Maurice. Does that count?

 

[Innocent One]

Does any one watch American Idiol? I love the first few shows because of all the people who think they can sing. The show cracks me up! I am one of those people who crank up the music in the car and sing my butt off, but if you were to turn that music down and just hear me singing...every dog for a 2 mile ratus would howl. How in the world can people stand up in front of millions of viewers and think they can sing...be told they can't sing...and still walk out mad saying Simon is an b****.

After everyone is picked for Hollywood I won't give the show the time of day...the funny stuff will be over.

I heard the funniest joke yesterday...it may be an old one, but it was new to me. If it affends anyone I am sorry...I heard it on the radio so I figure it can't be that sick.

When a woman wants to be a man, what operation does she need?

An Addadictome

ROFLMAO
*clears throat* I thought that was so funny! Ok....ok.... I am sick sometimes!

 

[Guest]

Only counts if " Some people call..." you...Maurice...So I guess if it's his actual name...then no...unless a lot of folks call'em by a nickname instead...then I suppose it'd be alright....you know because then it'd only be some.....

[Guest]

Oooooooh! American Idol! See now, back home I don't have tv because my husband hates the propaganda commercials that the military uses to replace the ones you see when you aren't watching military sponsored programing. Now almost two months of tv and I got to see the American Idol auditions the other night. I nearly died laughing!

How can someone be so in denial that they can't hear that they can't sing? I can hear every note I hit wrong when I sing (and yeah it's a lot of them!) and I would never subject myself to that sort of humiliation. Guess that's what makes it funny but yeah you see this person who went in there with the attitude and comes out sobbing saying, "they are going to feel stupid when I'm a big star and they realize they turned me down." And you think to yourself, "don't they realize that to become a star... someone has to actually want to listen to them???"

Oh and "Beauty and the Geek." That has been great. Love that show and watched the marathon they had the week before the new season started. Dang, I'm going to miss tv when I get home.

 

[LordWillieNelson]

*opens the door and looks in*

Hello??

*looks around*

*closes door and walks awy*

 

[Innocent One]

*peeks out past the shower curtain**
ACKKKKKKKKKKKK
*screams*
Can't a Lady take a shower in private around here?!!
I am so embarrassed that someone seen me in my sponge bob shower cap!

Well Willie if you would strike up a good babble maybe we would have something to grab and run with!

 

[LordWillieNelson]

Shower cap?? I didn't notice, I didn't get up that far.

You know what it was...it was that damn Steve Miller and his sleep inducing musci that did it. It's more effective than the poppies in The Wizzard of Oz.

Or maybe its because Survivor is off...who knows. I never got into that show, or any reality TV show for that matter.

I went into the grocery store the other day and bought 7 apples, the cashier asked I wanted them bagged. I said, Nah man, I juggle, but I can only juggle 7. If I'm ever in here buying 8... bag 'em up.

Just a reminder, there are only 327 shopping days until Christmas. Yeah I said it, Christmas.

My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 today and I don't know where the hell she is.

I'm desperately trying to figure out why kamikaze pilots wore helmets.

I replaced the headlights in my car with strobe lights, so it looks like I'm the only one moving.

 

[Innocent One]

Well, I didn't start the Steve Miller thing! Hrmm...I forget who did. fyr? Oh well, lets just blame it on him anyway.

Guess what?....Survivor is back on with a new show tonight at 8pm EST, CBS. I know you will secretly watch it Willie!


Hey! Their were these 3 Preachers and their wives and they were on a vacation and the bus they were riding on crashed and they all died...so now they are standing at the pearly gates and the first Preacher knocks and says "Saint Peter let us in." Saint Peter replies "I can't let you in, all your life you have loved alcohol...loved it so much you married a woman named Sherry. Now get on outta here." Next Preacher comes up to Saint Peter and says "Let us in." Saint Peter says "Can't. All your life you have lusted for money. Lusted for it so much you married a woman named Penny. Now get on outta here." Bout that time the third Preacher looks over to his wife and says "Well Fanny, guess we should be going."

Who here loves tax time? Went and got ours done last night and boy this year was a really good year! (Just for Willie...I know a great Accountant in Vinton who has done our taxes for years, does rapid refund and he is good and reasonably priced...thats if you happen to go to one of these HR Block places. Stop! you are paying to much!) Some people like to do their own taxes... I have just never tried it. *shrugs*

I pulled up in front of Kroger the other day to pick up my daughter at the door who had walked inside and got some things and she came out with a few bags and I drove up to the door to help her out...out of nowhere this Animal Control Cop comes up and says I gotta move and points to the sign which says "No Stopping, No Standing, No Parking, Fire Lane". I said "you mean to tell me I can't pull up here and load my bags into the car?" He just looks at me and points to the sign. I said "FINE"! I get into the car..park the car...go inside the store and request to speak to someone in charge. So he comes up to me and I explain my troubles outside and he says "Yes Ma'am you can pull up and load your groceries into your car. Oh let me tell ya, if that little f*#$er outside was still there...but he was long gone. Not sure why but that had me mad damn near all day long that day!

Did I ever tell ya'll that I love Hank Hill's voice?


I will end this babble for now, but here is more music trivia for ya...name the song and artist.

Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine
must of been a dream
don't believe where I been
come on lets do it again.........

 

[LordWillieNelson]

Peter Frampton's "Do you feel like I do?"
What I win this time?

 

[LordWillieNelson]

I use my dad's accountant to do my taxes. He has done mine since I turned 18. He is in the Mt. Pleasant area, up past Garden City.

I feel you pain with the dog cop though. One morning I went in the kitchen and put my daughter in the high chair to feed her breakfast. Before i fed her, I took the trash out and my dog ran through the open door, no biggie...I thought. We have Sliding doors in our kitchen that I could see out while I was feeding her, and could hear my dog barking, then I saw him streaking acroos the back yard, stopping to turn and bark, then darting off again. I then saw a cop walking through my back yard with the leash-loop on a stick thing in his hand. I went to the back door of the den and swung door open and said what the f--- are you doing!?! Well, I must have startled him because he jumped 2 feet in the air, lol, i'm lucky he didnt' panic and shoot me. Anyway, with the door open and the cop stopped, Peajay (my dog) shot between his legs and darted around me into the open door, so I went all the way outside and shut the door. The cop asked if it was my dog and I said well it just went in my house didn't it? He didn't like that too well either, but that's just how I am, I'm a smartass. He said did you know he was running in the street loose? I'm sure he was, but I said no I didn't, all I saw was him in my yard with you chasing after him. Well more words were exchanged and in the end he wrote me 2 tickets, 1 for not having him registered and another for get this...Dog at Large! I was so pissed, but I had to laugh because my dog is a Yorkshire Terrier/Toy Poodle mix, he is about the size of a cereal box and weighs in at a whopping 8 pounds! I was like dog at large?? Are you sh--ing me? and started laughing. He was getting more and more fed up with me the longer it went, so I figured this better end before I ended up in jail or he got an ass whopping...and then I ended up in jail, so I finally signed the tickets and he said Look I'm just doing my job. So as serious and sincere as I could act, I said thank you officer, and thank god you were here before he killed some one. Then I went inside and was laughing my butt off, I even called my wife so I could have some one to laugh with, although she didn't think it was as funny as I did

. I went to get the dog registered before the courtdate and all that stuff and when I went to court, I didn't contest anything and judge asked if he was registered now, I said yes, and then he asked about him not being on leash, and I told him we usually have him on a leash when he goes out and that he got out by accident and then I showed him pictures of the dog..and the judge and clerk both laughed and said dog at large, huh? I just replied, that that was what I was charged for and then the judged said all charges are dropped, have a nice day. So in the end, Peajay got off scot free and I got the day off from work for nothing...WooHoo!!

 

[Innocent One]

You know you can't win the prize! We have been all through this before. Ok, ok...you can have my Sponge Bob shower cap.

Was the Animal Control Cop an older man? Maybe late 50's early 60's?
I went to Subway last night and had to park over in front of Big Lots and got out of my car and there he was again...parking his truck across the isle from me. I felt like this guy was stalking me....anyway, he walks over like in front of Little C's and stands there watching. creeped me out!

Maybe Vinton has him go over there and do this part time or something. *shrugs* I think they need to send him over to South East and have him stand in front of one of those "nice" convenient stores over there...*giggles*

Alright! I will stump you Mr. Nelson! I just have to think of the song first.
