  1. My ex was big into decorating for all of the holidays and seasons. I didn’t mind it until she would get hung up on minute details. I told her that half of the people would not care about the decorations because they are dudes. Which left half being women. Of the women maybe half of them would care. So in the end, at best, she was trying to please maybe 25% of the people.
  2. Google Frank Slide in Alberta, Canada. A large portion of a mountain gave way creating a massive landslide in 1903. The mountain was unstable to begin with and underground coal mining aided in creating the large slide.
  3. There is a reason I am in the surface (daylight) mining industry. The safety protocols of going underground cover everything and then some. Once the lights go out it is straight up dark. It is easy to get disoriented. However there are massive operations underground that have large open spaces. I like having a bit more control over the situation that surface mining provides.

    Colonoscopy

    I had that option too for the last couple of years. I would get a box and it would get lost in the shuffle and I would never remember to use it. I ended up giving a box away this past Christmas as a white elephant gift.
  5. I have SVT. Have always been able to mostly control it with meds. The doctor said that the older I get the ability to control it with meds decreases. I am going to have an ablation done in mid-March. I know that it is a “regular routine” procedure but I am still not looking forward to it.

    Colonoscopy

    I kept putting mine off forever. I did it this past October at the age of 56. I am clear and do not have to do it again for 10 years. This site encouraged me a lot to get it done. You got this.
  7. Do not be so gullible. This is women code speak for "no probem, I will get you back in due time".
  8. For the western comedy genre I submit The Paleface with Bob Hope. There have been many good ones already covered. Though they may not all be great I am a sucker for ‘40s and ‘50s westerns. Some representatives below that I have enjoyed: Bend in the River starring James Stewart Dodge City starring Errol Flynn Firecreek featuring Stewart Many Rivers to Cross with Robert Taylor Rocky Mountain and Santa Fe Trail both featuring Flynn Sergeant Rutledge with Jeffrey Hunter and Woody Strode Shane starring Alan Ladd The Ox-Bow Incident featuring Henry Fonda Walk the Proud Land with Audie Murphy There are so many more awesome and hokey westerns from that era. I remember watching one of them and a couple of the Indians were actually wearing wedding rings. So much for detail and authenticity!! Another one featuring an Indian raid, with a bunch of horses running around, actually had mannequins laying on the ground. It was noticeable since they were all laying face down all in the samE posture with their feet firmly 90 degree to the ground.
  9. Thanks to the Googles I now know what you are talking about.
  10. The other day I was in a meeting at work discussing the action that someone took at a mine and I compared it to Slim Pickens riding the nuclear bomb down out of the plane. A couple of the guys laughed out loud at the reference. Two others asked why the laughter? Me: Have you not seen the movie Dr. Strangelove? Them: Nope. Who is in it? Me: Peter Sellers Them: Who is that? Me: The Pink Panther!!! Them: Never heard of him. When was the movie made? Me: The 60’s. Them: That explains it. Me: You guys ruined an awesome reference. Go watch the movie.
  11. I had a '78 Monte Carlo while I was in college. It loved to eat starters. It got to a point that most of the time I was using a long screwdriver to jump the post to get it started. It once "died" in the Intramural field's parking lot where it sat for a week until I had time to change it out. I got quite proficient in changing that sucker out.
  12. I hope that this is not a qualifier. I love this show.
  13. I believed this up until you said that you do not get sick at sea.
  14. I bet your kids did but perhaps your kids were smart enough that they did not need to consider applying to an aggy school?
  15. Scooby Doo is/was a kid’s cartoon to watch on Saturday mornings. I would think that it was not written or produced to be critiqued by adults, acting and viewing it as adults. When was the last time you got up on a Saturday morning, got a bowl of cereal, and planted yourself in front of a TV to watch cartoons for an hour or so before you went outside to build a fort in the woods, ride your bike, play army or cowboys and Indians with your friends until it was time to come in for the evening? It is/was great viewing for a kid.
  16. Our (NE Texas) fight song was the tune of Dixie played super fast. Had been the fight song forever. Two, three years or so ago it was changed. Some alumni that was the former drum major at Alabama wrote a new tune. The school song remains the same.
  17. Do I need to lend my expertise to this project to move it along? I have access to equipment and explosives.
  18. How can something like that happen to your head and you lived?
  19. Same place of business as the image I posted yesterday. Left another note for what it is worth. As mentioned before this happens all of the time. Spoke to the store manager about it. He is hoping to have that area painted red for a fire lane or something like that.
  20. Of course you do things logically...you are not a wife.
  21. Another lazy mofo that is too privileged to park in a proper space. This happens all of the time at this supermarket. Not that it will do any good but I have begun to leave nice little notes on the windows.
  22. Not sure if Dutch but seems to be a Texas Tceh grad looking at his plates.
  23. Was recently at an event where the Fabulous Equinox performed. They are a modern “big band” group with a vocalist that covers many genres. They are out of Georgia with some Louisiana ties.
