Joe Shaw Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 But the Smiley Joe used epitomizes Maynard's deep-seated hatred for work. Indeed, it was a four letter word to Krebs. Well... it's a four letter word to ANYBODY really and not in the emotional sense. I mean, it contains four letters, so... well... (Listens as all he can hear is the chirruping of a few crickets...) Um... am I being pedantic again? Oh, bite me! And where's my turn? I feel the need to pummel you with puny 20mm cannon fire!For once ... and likely enough for the last time ... Boo Radley has it exactly correct. Nothing else would have done Peng to express the word they way Maynard said it. It is, in other words ... the exception that proves the rule!

Berlichtingen Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Nothing else would have done Peng to express the word they way Maynard said it. Except to actually express the words the way Maynard said it rather than use the crutch of the intellectual lazy or intellectual lacking. It is a short hop from using smilies to using netspeak. Soon we will see Joe spelling 'you' as 'u'. Shortly after that, what is left of his senile brain will leak out of his ears. Not necessarily a bad thing, mind.

How else to capture the elusive pathos, the consummate acting skill and subtle inflections of a trained professional like the late, great Bob Denver.

**YK2** Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Time for a sing song... All around me are familiar faces worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for the daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very very, mad world, mad world Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday And I feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very very, mad world, mad world Enlarging your world, mad world Gary Jules........

Lawson Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 By the way...Are you a real Queen or just a Drag Queen in disguise to fit in among the other fruitcakes here?

Berlichtingen Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Had a weird vision today. Saw Lawson's name, and then the lines that form it began to swirl and morph. Eventually they reformed into something recognizable... Gaylord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPeng Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Lawson == Gaylord? The deuce you say. I thought it was some fictional she-male, cat-dog, crocoduck, platypussy, platonic, zorconic, hydroponic, fuel-injected, tomato-brained, hyphenated thing. My gaydar didn't go off at all. Maybe it needs to be recalibrated. Usually I can spot a Gaylord a halfaclickaway. Piscataway? It's thataway! OK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbott Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Good morning gang! It was another wonderful weekend in paradise wish you were all here!

Just that they had been created because of atomic bomb testing. Sort of like Lars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
