Reply to Two Minutes of Terror at the Mall in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Luckily, my little guy told a pregnant mom who had a little boy his age that he couldn't find mommy. See, that's a good thing. He knows what to do. The one time I couldn't find my mother (in a grocery store) I went to the butche

I think what many people see as weaknesses and bad points of JoeUser (including those calling it Site X) are actually JoeUser's strengths. The points, the community atmosphere, the forum, the "auto-syndication" of the sidebar -- brilliant. I'm even looking for ways to adapt some of these things to my personal site. The solution to not having those things is simple -- blog elsewhere. Negatives instantly eliminated. If

Reply to It's PG-13?! OMG It Must Be Horrible! in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

Maybe I am making too big of a deal out of it. I've heard other people say recently that now PG-13 is like R, etc. (Heck, I remember saying that in the 70's. -- I was a hip child. ) And I've certainly been surprised by some of the language, etc. allowed in PG-13 films lately. It used to be "f--k" was an instant R. I think I saw a PG-13 recently that had the word, though. I'm tryi

Gene, It's OK to use my name in connection with the QUESTIONING of certain joeusers. I wasn't sure it was appropriate. Actually, I was so queasy about it I had come back to cut everything from "what carebear was questioning" to "just don't make any sudden moves," but you had already responded.

Reply to A small rant about roadwork and morons with flags. in Misc JoeUser Forums

Around here (where Highway 95 goes right through the middle of town) they do the work in the middle of night. One night I was coming home from the casinos and they had squished the southbound traffic down to one cramped lane. They had a 15 mph sign out. I was going 5-10 mph. Very slow. As I pass, this flag idiot steps out and yells "Slow down!" I screamed back, "Get out of the F&*^%ing road you idiot!" and kept going. What? Did he wan

By the way, chasing it around, trying to find out who said what and who said it originally is probably counter productive. (Even though I just did it.) Ultimately it started with Ashlee. I'm surprised you all didn't know what was going on and hadn't heard these sentiments being voiced before. And I again appologize that I was the conduit through who you found out. It may be for the best that it is all out in the air, though. You probably neede

Reply to Censorship... in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Now the even "bleep" the word "God" like it is an obscenity. They've done that for a long time. I always found it ironic that in the word "Goddamn" the part they bleeped was "God." They also tend to bleep "Jesus" and "Christ." It's an old blasphemy thing -- but still terribly ironic. </fo

Reply to Waiting for Something Good in Blogging JoeUser Forums

In it he said that you should only respond to a comment if you have something to say. Now I disagree with this. Now that you mention it, yes I do recall it. I also recall disagreeing with it when I read it. I'd probably have an e

It's PG-13?! OMG It Must Be Horrible! in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

This looked to be a fairly lame summer movie season for me. My must sees were pretty much Spiderman 2 and Alien vs. Predator . (I didn't know about Exorcist IV till the commercials started playing recently.) I've been excitedly looking forw

Wow, that really surprises me. I'd have thought they knew all about manger scenes since those Ashcroft pics involved several sheep, a donkey, and a little boy drumming... er... "something." (Yeah, no-one ever believes this when I tell them, but you just "Baaah" as Johnny-boy walks by and watch the reaction you get!

Okay, Kingbee, here's whatcha do: Pick up your phone receiver. Tap the flash button till the dial tone stops. Say very distinctly, pausing between each phrase, "Bomb.... President.... White House.... Those pics of John Ashcroft." Sit back and wait. They'll come to you. ("Honey, why does the Domino's guy have an Uzi?")

Are you thinking about Tom Clancy's novels when you wrote this?
