A Gumball In Heaven in Current Events JoeUser Forums

A little something I heard on the news last night... Perhaps you know that when a plane ran off the end of a runway in Chicago last week it plowed into a passing car, killing a six year old boy. Just moments before, he, his parents, and two younger brothers had been driving to visit his grandparents, singing Christmas carols as they went. The Woods family buried their oldest child, Joshua, yesterday. In his hand he held a cross and a quarter. The quarter had b

That way they could be heard inside the casinos across the river. We're a bit far from the casinos, but who knows, maybe they were headed that way! I wonder if the merry evangelicals had tried that from a boat how long it would have taken before the local constables piled into a boat and shut them down. <TABLE cellpadding=

Reply to The New Book So Dirty I Can't Review It in Books JoeUser Forums

I have laughed my head off at one of his jokes and the next second be ashamed that I even know his name. That's about right. There's a third of a good book in there. I'm not a prude. I love Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. Maybe it's that there's a difference between vulga

If I had to guess, I would say the Nigerians have a new scam going. And so far it is paying off very well with the loons on the left fringe that have more money than brains! Hmmm, that gives me an idea.... (sings) "Cash registers ring, are you list'nin'? / 'Cus the Libs, they are a given'"

Tookie's Supporters Did More Harm Than Good in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Next to himself, Tookie's worst enemy was his supporters. All we ever heard, as if on an endless loop, were the ludicrous arguments "nominated five times for the Nobel Peace Prize" and "he wrote children's books." The bizarre notion that writing children's books should exonerate someone from murder would be laughable if so many people hadn't just tried it. I hear Dr. Suess wasn't such a lovable fellow. I wonder what he'd have done knowing writing children's books was con

Reply to Beyond Any Reasonable Doubt in Current Events JoeUser Forums

It's moot now, but... Okay, I read every blasted word of it, even the footnotes. There's a lot of it I'd dismiss out of hand as unfounded speculation. I could come up with my own logical arguments to refute even more. I think way too much of it focuses on crimes by others way after the fact that no court has any business paying attention to. So, let's say I'd discount -- pulling a number out of my back pocket -- more than 50% of it. That leaves nearly 50% of it I

My Favorite Richard Pryor Punchlines in Humor JoeUser Forums

Talking with NBC News about the death of Richard Pryor, Arsenio Hall said, "If you haven't stolen something from Richard Pryor and you're doing stand-up, you're doing it wrong." I don't do stand-up (except rarely on my website), but I have been known to borrow from Richard Pryor. One of the easiest ways to be witty is to know a lot of punch lines, recognize when one fits your real life situation, and deliver it. Whether stand-up or raconteur, one of the best you could ever learn or

Reply to Is Your Blacklist Like Mine? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

some of the names on it are of people who started blogging almost 2 years ago, I clear out the names when it becomes evident the people have disappeared or been banned.

The New Book So Dirty I Can't Review It in Books JoeUser Forums

"Larry the Cable Guy" has written his first book, titled after his popular catchphrase, Git-R-Done! It's so dirty I can't review it -- not properly, anyway. I never realized how perverse Larry is. I've seen the Blue Collar Comedy Tour movie and watched his Tonight Show appearances. Either he cleans it up a whole lot for the visual media or I just wasn't paying that much attention. The book started well enough. I was laughing all over the place, so mu

Signs point to yes... Yeah, Little Stevie Wonder could read those signs. Israel did it to Iraq, there's no reason to think they wouldn't do it to Iran as well, especially with Iran's loose lipped new president practically begging for it. That's how I assumed this non-se

For a brief period it was supposedly "in the public domain" It is. The musical soundtrack isn't. Pulled on a technicality.

"The Village People Movie" You mean Can't Stop the Music with Valerie Perrine and Bruce Jenner? I remember liking that movie as a kid, even though it probably killed the Village People's career. I don't know what I'd think of it now. I'd like to re-evaluate it, but it's not exactly an easy thing to find. <img src="../images/sm

Reply to Student Suspended for Speaking Spanish in Current Events JoeUser Forums

How petty and ridiculous can you get? This kid I know, he's like, 'Me prestas un dolar?' ['Will you lend me a dollar?'] Well, he asked in Spanish; it just seemed natural to answer that way. So I'm like, 'No problema.' " Wow. That's it? I know people whose mastery of Spanish pretty much ends at "drop the chalupa" who use "No problemo!
