Lost discussion thread revisited or what????

**Jerry Oz** · 03-19-2015, 06:34 PM

Animated = cartoon = car tune. I LOL at my own jokes.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-19-2015, 06:57 PM

[[Ha! I missed that one. Yes, perhaps it is indeed best to laugh at your own jokes)

Just as you said, Jerry; you knew you could turn to him, to provide.....

**arr&bee** · 03-19-2015, 07:06 PM

I always do.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-19-2015, 07:26 PM

In your fashion.....

**arr&bee** · 03-19-2015, 07:28 PM

West i'm on top of fashion,i've got a fashion plate here somewhere,and it's not broken yet.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-19-2015, 07:35 PM

Just a little cracked.....

**arr&bee** · 03-19-2015, 07:42 PM

No,just frayed at the edges.

**Jerry Oz** · 03-19-2015, 08:34 PM

If you're 'fraid at the edges, wear a parachute. That'll keep you from falling over. Problem solved; nothing to be 'fraid of.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-20-2015, 05:33 AM

Some people say coming down off a high can be a bit tricky.....

**Jerry Oz** · 03-20-2015, 05:43 PM

I used to have friends who never had to worry about that for lack of coming down.

**arr&bee** · 03-20-2015, 08:13 PM

Allhey west they won't let me in the country,i told em i know you and they said i had ten minutes to leave or face the gallows,west what kind of gig is this call[hm].

**Jerry Oz** · 03-20-2015, 08:45 PM

Tell them you know 144man. Call first so he can bribe the authorities.

**arr&bee** · 03-20-2015, 09:45 PM

Now you tell me.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-21-2015, 09:36 AM

144man himself could well be an authority on any bribe which he would consider most acceptable.

If so, yet another is likely to be most welcome.

**Jerry Oz** · 03-21-2015, 12:06 PM

Yeah, you need to cough up the pounds, bruh. And a couple of ounces on top of that to show that you're not chintzy.

**arr&bee** · 03-21-2015, 01:42 PM

Look if somebody don't let me in i'm gonna dump[lipton]teabags in the thames river.

**Jerry Oz** · 03-21-2015, 02:11 PM

I thought that the Thames was 95% tea already.

**arr&bee** · 03-21-2015, 02:29 PM

Hey west,was[col.lipton]really british?

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-21-2015, 03:07 PM

Yes, although not English.

He was Scottish, born in Glasgow.

And, ahem, he was not 'Colonel', but 'Sir Thomas'.....

**Jerry Oz** · 03-21-2015, 04:36 PM

I met him at a Scottish heritage festival once when he performed an improvisational comedy routine. He really kilt them that night.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-21-2015, 06:24 PM

He must have used great material.

**Jerry Oz** · 03-21-2015, 06:25 PM

He had that and very stubby shins.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-21-2015, 06:31 PM

Shins. Makes me think "now there's another word no longer in common usage"...

**Jerry Oz** · 03-21-2015, 06:44 PM

Says a guy who apparently never suffered from shin splints.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-21-2015, 07:15 PM

In those days for me, I would have thought of them as 'leg cramps' - but it was a very long time ago.

'Shin' is specific, like 'calf' and such words, to me, do seem less used now in general verbal and written communication than decades ago.

General, and I'd say vague, descriptions seem to be in more popular use now - 'lower leg', 'upper leg' - or 'lower arm', and 'upper arm'.

**Jerry Oz** · 03-21-2015, 10:24 PM

'Lower front leg' seems like a long way to go when I can simply say 'shin'.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-21-2015, 10:37 PM

That's what I think. Very often, the original names for anything are far more specific, and to the point, than general descriptions.

Perhaps there is a fear that too many people will not know what, for example, 'a shin' may be.

**Jerry Oz** · 03-21-2015, 11:26 PM

Perhaps. But it works similarly for other body parts, like when people use the word 'eyeball'. I understand that 'eye' might be the entire region of the face, but it seems silly to suggest that I was poked in the eyeball when I was playing basketball.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-22-2015, 04:41 PM

Challenge many people to be more precise in what they are saying, in an attempt at a better understanding, and they are now more likely simply to say "whatever".....

**arr&bee** · 03-22-2015, 05:38 PM

A shin here a shin there,we're all[shinners]in the end.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-22-2015, 06:47 PM

"let him who is without shin, cast the first bone...."

**144man** · 03-22-2015, 08:58 PM

...and all the little dogs will come running.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-23-2015, 07:39 AM

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!

**144man** · 03-23-2015, 07:46 AM

Why didn't Richard III get a state funeral? Margaret Thatcher did , and she wasn't even royalty.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-23-2015, 08:12 AM

No-one actually remembers him - ?

Margaret Thatcher actually declined a state funeral, so was given a ceremonial funeral.

However, she did decline a state funeral even before she became an MP, so obviously thought she was royalty.....

**144man** · 03-23-2015, 08:15 AM

My only objection to Margaret Thatcher's funeral was that it should have happened before she became Prime Minister.

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-23-2015, 08:19 AM

There still seem to be many who would wish the same of Tony Blair.....

**144man** · 03-23-2015, 08:32 AM

How many Tory MPs will get elected in the General Election at a Conservative estimate?

**westgrandboulevard** · 03-23-2015, 08:53 AM

Ha! Even their own loose estimate would be nowhere near as reckless as the firm quote that, ideally, they would prefer to submit.

**144man** · 03-24-2015, 02:16 PM

I'm not ruling out the possibility of a minority government rather than a formal coalition.

**arr&bee** · 03-24-2015, 05:51 PM

Wasn't he[richard the lyin hearted]?

**Jerry Oz** · 03-26-2015, 09:06 PM

I thought that he was the first English king to sport an afro. Wasn't he known as 'Richard the Lion Headed'?

**arr&bee** · 03-28-2015, 12:34 PM

Jerry,we gotta find big duufus,he's looking for moe who's gone into hiding,[west won't tell me where she is]big duufuss will tear up the countryside til he finds her...what a picture,golden turkey's here we come.

**Jerry Oz** · 03-28-2015, 02:51 PM

I know where he is. He made me mad by charging his London calls to my credit card so I put him in a round room and told him there was a bottle of hooch in the corner. He's been looking for it ever since.

**arr&bee** · 03-28-2015, 02:58 PM

Good work jerry,big duufuss likes you[lucky you]make sure you put a big nipple on the bottle[don't ask].

**Jerry Oz** · 03-28-2015, 06:05 PM

I'm going to wait until he passes out after looking for it and while he's sleeping, I'm going to paint a bottle of hooch on the wall. I got the idea from an old Roadrunner cartoon.

**arr&bee** · 03-31-2015, 07:13 PM

I'm shooting a western with big duufuss as the villain,i'm calling it...he drunkout at the ok liqour store at the edge of da hood.

**Jerry Oz** · 04-02-2015, 02:29 PM

Good luck on getting him to ride the horse without hurting it. And you need to make sure Duufuss uses the prop guns because he is typically fully strapped with more hardware than a Home Depot. I'll stop by after the gunfight scenes if anybody survives.

**arr&bee** · 04-02-2015, 06:55 PM

HAAAAAAAAAAAAA,I GOT CHA NO HORSE IN HIS RIGHT MIND WOULD LET BIG DUUFUS ANYWHERE NEAR IT,AS FOR THE GUN SCENESBIG DUUFUS WILL SHOOT AT FAKE STUNT MEN[the real ones are terrified of him]AND WE'LL WORK EM IN,THIS CLASSIC IS GONNA MAKE A KILLING AT THE BOX OFFICE...[there's already talk of a golden turkey]FOLKS WERE A LITTLE SKEPTICLE ABOUT THIS MOVIE BUT AFTER BIG DUUFUS KICKED IN A FEW DOORS[he never learned to knock]FOLKS GOT BEHIND THE PROJECT.

**Jerry Oz** · 04-02-2015, 07:58 PM

Yep. I told duufuss I got him something to put on his horse and he was so excited. When I brought a saddle, he was upset that it wasn't barbecue sauce.
