have a cigar, folks!

you're gonna fly high!

a momentary lapse of reason in this topic about nothing can be cured if we breathe. it is ok if some need time to take care of pigs.

i have to admit that i wonder about and feel for some of the guys i used to work with in chicago. part of our collective bargaining agreement was that we were only paid when we worked. how can one work in temperatures so low?

  The use of a block heater works ..

speaking of darwin awards....

when i first moved to florida there was a story about a drunk lady that insisted on swimming in an area of a lake known to have alligators. signs everywhere. naturally, a gator bites off an arm-or a leg-i don't remember, exactly. 

the response was disgusting. there was an alligator hunt for her appendage. a number of them were caught and killed, until, voila! we found your half eaten arm/leg! 

 

when i heard the story, i thought it was quite stupid to kill animals-they shoulda killed the woman instead.

I always wonder this too when a bear or cougar or shark or some other predator kills or attacks an idiot.

Well I heard the "Big Game" was a real snooze alert. Think of all those poor saps that paid thousands of dollars to drink beer and watch paint dry.

When they started showing Rugby on TV I started watching it, then whatever sports strike ended and they took it off the TV again. The World Cup was pretty interesting, but most soccer games are not.

   ---   Yes I heard that the most expensive seats were over $ 100,000 in US Dollars. When I think of the nice antique cars that I could have bought with that money, unbelievable  lol.

I used to work with this Electrician that went to New Zealand and Australia to play Rugby. They even played against the All Blacks.

Recently Warrior asked me about my FIL. There's a funny story about the guy: in the early 70's the couple emigrated to Germany, like many other Spaniards (especially Galicians). It has been great there for people of that generation, but he had a little problem. He messed with a Turk at the factory and, according to him, those people usually were carrying the knife at work. So he broke his arm with a huge wrench he had in handy. 

Naturally those cube heads kicked his ass back to the little Galician village, and six years later he got a job in Madrid. Better so, I can't even imagine my wife scolding some poor sap in German, it is bad enough in Spanish or Galician.
