The Cocktail Party Thread (a.k.a. The "Jack This Thread" Thread)

I came out of my mommy's tummy.

My mommy's tummy is really flabby.....

Your Mom jokes really don't offend me, i just feel bad for whoever is claiming to have had relations with my mother....

I've never had relations with your mother. I'm sure that she's a very nice woman. I have a good relation with my mother. Two months ago she fell and tore her meniscus. The ACL seems to be the king of sports injuries. Have you ever torn an ACL?

[swordwench]

I've always considered joining the ACLU. I'd just like to say I was a card-carrying member and all. But then I stop myself, because they seem to defend some really scummy people (who should be put on a desert island to die for the crimes they've committed) all in the name of civil liberties for all.

[Inquartata]

Speaking of desert islands, did you hear that Bob "Gilligan" Denver passed away? 70 years of age, gad I feel old now.

[keith]

hey cheer up feeling old gives one the sense and fortitude to rail against the failings of the world. Have they turned the lights down in here?

Chill, you have at least 20 good years until you're thaaaaat old!

[Have At You]

I hear the last 20 sort of suck anyway. Like my smoker friends keep saying how it's no big deal that smoking takes years off your life, because they're the crappy years. Ignoring of course that the crappy years come sooner and harder for the smokers.

[epeeisky]

Speaking of smokers. My neighbors car cought on fire yesterday and nearly took out a very nice shrub. It looks like those Continentals are not as safe as 3 tons of steel would seem.

[fencergal33]

Did you hear they just recalled like 3 million different Ford's? Wow, American cars are crappy......I guess I shouldn't say that though because my husband drives a Saturn and I drive a Jeep. Bad karma is coming my way, I can feel it.

[mrbiggs]

Not all American cars are crappy. One or two are OK. (And I mean models, not makers. )

I wonder if the recently increased gas prices will cause an increase in fuel efficient cars, especially foreign ones, as it did in the 70s.

[Fencergrl]

Did you know that Ford was the first car manufacturer to introduce plastic parts in cars? Not surprising when you think about it. Ford sure had some good designers... I hate Fords, yet I own a Baby T, and a '65 Mustang. They are 2 of the 5 most collectable cars.

[mrbiggs]

I've never quite understood the Mustang thing. Corvette, now that's a cool car.

By which I mean modern mustangs...

[Fencergrl]

Mine's one of the first, Google '65 Mustang and you'll see what I mean. I like the '64 Corvettes too, but I don't like the modern ones. The retro T-Birds are quite nice but a lot of $$$, it would be nice to have one in the same colour as my original. What other cars do you like?

[Go? Fencing?]

'57 Chevy's not bad. My mom's quite fond of them.

[Fencergrl]

You're a funny one my dear squirrel... everytime I talk about cars on this forum, you jump in. I find it interesting because I know you have very little interest in them. I can understand why a squirrel wouldn't like cars much they tend to no do well against them.

I like the format of this thread... nice and loose.... but then again I tend to be the queen of thread-jacking.

[Go? Fencing?]

No, I don't like cars, it's true... but there are some things, my dear, that you have never perhaps read....

[Fencergrl]

Well now I have read it.

I suspect most wives, squirrel or otherwise are quite happy when their husbands don't get run over by a car (accept those that are driving the car at the time, their unhappiness is suspect, especially when there's insurance money involved).

[Go? Fencing?]

My great-grandfather got run over by a bus. It... didn't stop.


Anyway, you're wanted on the question thread.

[cornflower]

I remember my grandmother telling me a story that was obviously intended to frighten me: "When I was a little girl, a boy tried to ride on the back of a bus and he fell off and got squished by a car!" *claps hands*

[broncofencer]

Actually it was a Yugo so I didn't get squished more like bumped into rudely. its not like I had my head sticking out of the window or anything. You can get it taken clean off that way.
