Not as good as z-a-g-g's, but here goes...
I was home on summer break and was at a UD bar on Brown St. (The Shed, don't think it's there any more) with my fellow yahoos. Drinking massive quantities of 3.2 beer. Lots and lots of beer. Being 19, foolish, and this being 1972 and DUI laws aren't too bad yet, Roy is seriously and totally into his cups.
Closing time... Driving home to Centerville on Rt. 48 through Oakwood. Oakwood police are notorious for being unforgiving and strict. Roy's pals in the back seat have lit up a doobie and it's been around the car (a '62 Corvair named Mort) a couple times. We do the burn-the-roach thing and back seat passenger is holding it under Roy's nose as we drive. With all the smoke, Mort decides to wander some lanes. Next thing your know, blue and red cruiser lights are in the rear view mirror. "Uh-oh" Roy says.
Roy pulls Mort over. This is at the height of the streaking craze and my rear seat passengers are making plans to streak the cop car. After the license and registration thing, the officer says, "Mr. Tucker, we observed your vehicle driving in a weaving fashion, please step out of the vehicle", Roy is asked to step out of the vehicle and do a sobriety test. As Roy does the heel to toe thing, there is uproarious laughter coming out of Mort and much supportive cheering. "Oh man, I am totally, massively, and completely screwed" Roy thinks. However, probably due to the high volume of adrenalin coursing through his veins from being absolutely panic-stricken, Roy is actually doing a fairly decent job of walking a straight line. Thankfully, no streaking has occurred.
The Oakwood officer says, "Mr. Tucker, I'm ordering you to take you and your vehicle home and stay there for the night". Roy says "yessir, yessir, yessir", piles back into the car amidst great hooting and cheering, procedes off at the speed limit.
So disappointed that I didn't capture my second Rosie award. I might take the day off and sulk. Of course I do have some good "breaking the law" stories, but I couldn't beat zombie's, so I'll just keep them to myself before your opinion of me changes.
OK, I can't beat that for the simple fact that not only did Zombie crash into another car and a house, but he also spent time in jail.Quote:

In short, nice story Zombie! :gac:
Wow, looks like Zagg's story may hold up. Puffy was my choice for players still out on the course, but Zagg posted a pretty tough number to beat.
All hail the King of the Idiots.
We have a new leader.
:notworthy :notworthy :notworthy
I'm so proud. :MandJ:Quote:

Todays question is a two parter and you must get both parts to be the winner. I think this is an easy question, so the answer should be quick, so git on yur horses!
In the Seinfeld episode where George needs to keep getting his unemployment checks, he tells the worker he just had an interview with a company - what is the name of the company and what did the company sell/produce?
Vandelay Industries, purveyor of fine latex products
Zach passed. Got a 100.
Now I have to call my insurance lady. A 16 yr. old young man isn't cheap to insure :(
Hmmmm ..... what's an STK?
Ladies and Gentlemen - the man knows his useless trivia!Quote:

Good work - and great episode! When George runs out of the bathroom with his pants around his ankles yelling "Vandelay Industries, Vandelay Industries" its too funny!

It is a trivia award started in response to Krono's starting an award to the last person to post at night before HE gets on the computer every morning.Quote:

RL and I share similar hours. I love trivia. I think I may have to pay more attention to this thread. :)
Besides ..... quite a few people have documented their sins and criminal activity. I need to hang on to this for future reference. :mhcky21:
Great, that's all I need, more competition. I just got done building a display case big enough to hold 50 holographic awards in my house, I come in today to find that Rosie stole my Rosie Award last night and now I find out I'm going to get more competition for the STK award. Well, that's money down the drain! :MandJ:
And here I thought you were such a nice girl...Quote:

Did you ever notice that in the later years of The Cosby Show that all groups of people who showed up at the huxtable house were always multi-racial?
Theo brought three friends home - one was black, one was asian and one was white.
Cliff had a group of doctors come for a dinner party - one was black, one was asian and one was white.
Grandpa Huxtable had his WWII buddies come to the house - two were black and one was white.
The first Music Video I ever saw was "Do you believe in Love?" by Huey Lewis and the News on Solid Gold at my friends house.
Later that night we got drunk.......... we had no idea our paradigm had been shifted.
I am so glad that Barney the Dinosauer wasn't around when I was growing up. I would have been embarassed to have liked that travesty.
Much better to have Sigmund the Sea Monster, The Bugaloos and Captain Kangaroo to hang my hat on.
I'm from the BW era of the Captain, Yogi Bear, Mighty Mouse, Secret Squirrel, Underdog, The Thuderbirds and Fractured Fairy Tales.Quote:

Speaking of that, was anything better than Saturday morning cartoons? I mean the School house rock during the breaks was reason enough to love it.Quote:

You're going to need
If you write or read
Or even think about it.
Lolly Lolly Lolly, get your adverbs here!
Got a lot of Lolly, jolly adverbs here!
Anything you need
And we can make it absolutely clear!
An adverb is a word... {That's all it is, and there's a lot of 'em!}
That modifies a verb... {Sometimes a verb! Sometimes...}
It modifies an adjective,
Or else another adverb.
And so you see that it's positively, very, very, necessary.
Lolly Lolly Lolly, get your adverbs here!
Father, son and Lolly selling adverbs here!
Got a lot of adverbs and we make it clear,
So come to Lolly!
{Hello, folks. This is Lolly Senior, saying we have every adverb in
the book, so come on down and look!}
{Hello, folks. Lolly Junior here. Suppose your house needs painting.
How are you going to paint it? That's where the adverb comes in.
We can also give you a special intensifier so you can paint it very
neatly or rather sloppily.}
{Hi. Suppose you're going nut-gathering. Your buddy wants to know
where and when. Use an adverb and tell him.)
Get your adverb...
Use it with an adjective, it says much more.
Anything described can be described some more.
Anything you'd ever need is in the store,
And so you choose very carefully
Every word you use.
Use it with a verb it tells us how you did.
Where it happened, where you're going, where you've been.
Use it with another adverb at the end, and even more...
How, where, or when, condition or reason...
These questions are answered
When you use an adverb...
{Come and get it!}
Lolly Lolly Lolly, get your adverbs here!
Quickly quickly quickly, get your adverbs here!
Slowly surely really, learn your adverbs here!
You're going need 'em
If you read 'em,
If you write or talk or think about it.
Lolly...
}} {If it's an adverb we have it at Lolly's!
}} Bring along your old adjectives too, like slow, soft and sure.
}} We'll fit them out with our "l-y" attachment,
}} And make perfectly good adverbs out of them!}
Get your adverbs here!
}} {Lots of good tricks at Lolly's, so come on down!}
Lolly, Lolly, Lolly!
}} {Adverbs deal with manner, place, time...}
Lolly, Lolly, Lolly!

Father Son and Lolly!

Lolly, Lolly, Lolly!

Indubitably!
I'm just a bill,
Yes, I'm only a bill,
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city,
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law someday...
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I'm still just a bill.
}} {Gee, bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage!}
{Well I got *this* far. When I started, I wasn't even a *bill* - I
was just an idea. Some folks back home decided they wanted a law
passed, so they called their local congressman and he "You're right,
there ought to be a law." Then he sat down and wrote me out and
introduced me to Congress, and I became a bill. And I'll remain a
bill until they decide to make me a law.}
I'm just a bill,
Yes I'm only a bill,
And I got as far as Capitol Hill.
Well now I'm stuck in committee
And I sit here and wait
While a few key congressmen
Discuss and debate
Whether they should
Let me be a law...
Oh how I hope and pray that they will,
But today I am still just a bill.
}} {Listen to those congressmen arguing! Is all that discussion and
}} debate about you?}
{Yes. I'm one of the lucky ones. Most bills never even get this far.
I hope they decide to report on me favourably, otherwise I may die.}
}} {"Die?"}
{Yeah: die in committee. Oooh! But it looks like I'm gonna live.
Now I go to the House of Representatives and they vote on me.}
}} {If they vote "yes", what happens?}
{Then I go to the Senate and the whole thing starts all over again.}
}} {Oh no!}
{Oh yes!}
I'm just a bill,
Yes I'm only a bill,
And if they vote for me on Capitol Hill,
Well then I'm off to the White House
Where I'll wait in a line
With a lot of other bills
For the President to sign.
And if he signs me then I'll be a law...
Oh, how I hope and pray that he will,
But today I am still just a bill.
}} {You mean even if the whole Congress says you should be a law, the
}} President can still say no?}
{Yes, that's called a "veto". If the President vetoes me, I have to
go back to Congress, and they vote on me again, and by that time
it's...}
}} {By that time, it's very unlikely that you'll *become* a law! It's
}} not easy to become a law, is it?}
No! But how I hope and I pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill!
}} {He signed you, bill! Now you're a law!}
{Oh yes!}
I always thought the Scooby Doo All-Star Laff Olympics was rigged. The Really Rottens should have won at least once. The Scooby Doobies and the Yogi Yahooeys always seemed to find a way to win.

Is there any person alive who eventually didn't end up rooting for the Wily E. Coyote??
I mean, that Road Runner just sucked! And poor Wily E. Coyote came up with plan after plan and nothing ever went his way. My personal opinion was ACME had a side deal with the Road Runner and they kept rigging the poor coyote's plans.
The Beatles - The Monkees
Scooby Doo - Goober and the Ghost Chasers
Which was better?
Gilligan's Island when the Harlem Globetrotters were on the island, or
Scooby Doo when the globetrotters helped them solve a mystery?
The island
Scooby Doo was a jerk!
I just got back from Kenwood..fun place :D
