  1. Bad Halloween Costumes: Ladies and Gentlemen, the King! Well.... sorta.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/bsg2112/HalloweenElvis.jpg What happens to Hooters girls after they retire? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/bsg2112/HalloweenRetiredHootersGirls.jpg Spiderman, our............. umm............ hero? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/bsg2112/HalloweenSpiderman.jpg No comment needed for this revolting costume. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/bsg2112/HalloweenToiletSeat.jpg Wonder Woman, who's undoubtedly seen better days (and better 'do's). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/bsg2112/HalloweenWonderWoman.jpg "I'm in looove with a redneck guuuurl!!" Well, not really, and definitely not THIS one. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/bsg2112/HalloweenRedneckChick.jpg The Royal Family, complete with Dukes, Duchesses, horsemen (notice the coconut shells ), brave knights, the King and Queen themselves, the Queen Mum, and a Russian woman masquerading as an artistic man, behind the Queen Mum on the right.

  2. We just got a new hold message here at my work . It got me pondering. (Uh oh!) What if hold messages were more honest? Just imagine..... An Honest Hold Message Your call is very important to us, so please continue to hold............ Aww! Who are we fooling? If your call was so gosh-fired important, we'd have hired a few real live humans to talk to you. Your money is very important to us. Please don't take your business elsewhere. Since we feel as if you'll put up with anything (I mean just look at the level of service you put up with!), we're gonna bounce you around the voice message system until someone gets off their cigarette break and is forced to answer your call. Either that, or someone else will finish chatting with their pal in another state. One way or another, if you hang on long enough, you're bound to get a live human being. Of course, once you do, that's no guarantee of good service. I mean, what sort of person do you suppose handles the first-tier support, anyways? Let's just say, it ain't the cream of any particular intellectual crop, sayin'? But, we'll let the guy give it a shot, and he'll read to you prepared comments from a script, and pretend to understand your issue. And should that fail (what are the odds of THAT happening? Bwah ha ha ha ), you can get a second-tier support rep. Of course, this really means only that this person has pages 1-20 in the tech support script, whereas the first guy you talked to had only pages 1-9. So, I guess you could say the second-tier rep has twice as much knowledge. We even have a few tech support folks who make a pretty fair impression of empathy. But they are on the verge of being fired, as their number of calls per hour lag behind. So inevitably, at some point, you will be forced in desperation and frustration to demand a supervisor, or even, heaven forbid, that mythical beast "someone who knows what they're talking about". Oh gawd! Do you have any idea how that notion just KILLS us? Please don't ask for THAT! Our hearts can't take the strain of such uproarious comedy. So, just save it. Or better yet, hang up now, and check us out on the web. We accept all major credit cards, paypal, and large wire transfers. And you can do it right there on our relatively-hacker-free website. Don't call back, eh? Have a lovely day. <click>
  3. I recommend The Return of the Living Dead from 1985. Great horror/comedy with a punk attitude. Anyone else?
  4. Yeah, good flicks. I remember watching "Silence of the Lambs" in the front row of a cinema drafthouse (it was packed), with my soon-to-be bride, and the beer was lukewarm. The movie creeped us out big-time. Anyone else here remember "Manhunter"? Excellent flick w/ Hannibal Lecter's character released a few years before "Lambs". Good stuff. Directed by Michael Mann before he went on to create "Miami Vice".
  5. QUOTE (Sweetmiracle @ Oct 27 2004, 12:34 PM) Hangover Marty wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table. He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. Marty looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go shopping. Love you." So he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Marty asks, "Son, what happened last night?" His son says, "Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and delirious. Broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door." Confused, Marty asks, "So, why is everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?" His son replies, "Oh that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you said, "Lady, leave me alone, I'm married!" A self-induced hangover - $100.00 Broken furniture - $200.00 Breakfast - $10.00 Saying the right thing - priceless Hmm. I'll have to keep that one handy.
  6. I enjoyed the R30 tour much more because I actually WENT to it. I missed the VT tour. (Yes, I was clueless, so leave me alone.)
  7. QUOTE (Quyn @ Oct 25 2004, 10:01 AM) As Jack will tell you - I have an additction when it comes to buying CDs. Here are the last couple of ones I have bought -- Scissor Sisters (self titled) -- the best album Elton John never made. Think Elton, mixed with the Bee Gees, throw in a little Frankie Goes to Hollywood. The Sister's version of "Comfortably Numb" is sacrilege, but really is a a scream! The Killers (Hot Fuss) - Not the greatest I have heard but good for driving around with the top down. Muse (Absolution) - pretty much a Radiohead-like group but "Time is Running Out" is a wicked cool song. The Libertines (Up The Bracket) -- ROCKS! Go buy it today. Bright Eyes (Lifted) -- not for everyone but if angst is your thing ... (it is mine). "Lover I Don't Have To Love" is amazing Franz Ferdinand (self titled) - art-punk, jangly guitars, great driving music Keane (Hopes and Fears) - In my opinion, the album of the year. If you like Coldplay, you'll love Keane. Damien Rice (b-sides) -- I adore this man! Sit back, relax and enjoy! I think I've heard of maybe ONE of those. You sure are on top of the trends, eh? Here's me >>>> "What's new music? Never heard of it. Give me my Dinosaur Rock."
  8. QUOTE (GhostGirl @ Oct 25 2004, 12:40 PM) I'm thinking... Hmm............ I wondered where that smell of smoke was coming from. Ooops! It's my microwave popcorn burning! Hmm............. pondering this question.
  9. QUOTE (madra sneachta @ Oct 21 2004, 01:01 PM) How about "Freeze" "Coiled for the spring, or caught like a creature in the headlights" Excellent job, Madra! I really expected this one to last longer. You're up!
  10. Welcome to the forum, peartygirl! (Yes, us guys sometimes hang around with our Rush sistahs here in the Sisterhood forum. We'll try and behave, keep our feet off the furniture, and not belch too loudly, ok?)
  11. QUOTE (madra sneachta @ Oct 21 2004, 06:19 AM) OK - I'm on a tongue fixation at the moment, so let's just get The Enemy Within out of the way "Every breath a static charge, a tongue that tastes like tin"
  12. QUOTE (GhostGirl @ Oct 20 2004, 05:09 PM) QUOTE (Jack Aubrey @ Oct 20 2004, 03:54 PM) Looks like a total chick-flick. Enjoy, ladies. 'In Good Company' I just LOVE that term "chick flick." I guess if it's a "guy" movie, we can call 'em "d*ck flicks" eh? OMG!! GG coming out of her "shell"!!
  13. QUOTE (paganoman @ Oct 20 2004, 03:36 PM) ...If anyone does watch it.... I hope they return to this thread and say what they thought of it. Good point, Pag! Anyone who follows any of these recommendations, please report back here and let us all know what you thought.
  14. Back on topic. Here's one you might have missed. It's a cult classic from 1984. Repo Man. Starring Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton, this tells the story of guys who are paid to do stuff which gets "normal people" arrested. Wild, wacky, and with punk attitude to spare, check it out.
  15. QUOTE (yankeeyankeezulu @ Oct 20 2004, 10:52 AM) "The Hidden", a low-budget 80's SF flick with Kyle Maclachlan and Michael Nouri. Has a really great car chase & dialog and interplay between the characters is terrific. Also has a lot of very subtle nuances to the story that you probably won't catch the first time through. One of the first DVD's I bought. Here's the IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093185/ Yes!!! This is definitely an obscure, but cool flick!
  16. QUOTE (Jack Aubrey @ Oct 20 2004, 11:16 AM) One in five snake-bite victims is tattooed. One in three is drunk. How many are rednecks whose last words are "now watch me stomp this sucker flat?"
  17. QUOTE (madra sneachta @ Oct 20 2004, 06:39 PM) Stick it out - "Spit out your anger, don't swallow your tongue" Good guess, but
  18. QUOTE (GhostGirl @ Oct 20 2004, 03:01 PM) Anagram for Mongo Good guess, but
  19. Yep! Very cool to have an international community here, Slaine! Here's the next photo: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/bsg2112/snake.jpg
  20. QUOTE (Slaine mac Roth @ Oct 19 2004, 11:50 AM) QUOTE (BSG @ Oct 19 2004, 12:35 PM) Beneath, Between And Behind Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foe (TAKE THAT KING GEORGE III !!!!!!!!!!!!!!) You got it. I suppose you damn colonials have got to have something to be smug about. You're up boy. No offense, my Limey Rush pal! I'm gonna have to ask for a continuation from the court now. Gimme a few minutes to retrieve an appropriate photo, eh? Watch this space.
  21. ....and for my penance 3 "Hail Mary's" and 3 "Hail Neil's"..... Yadda yadda yadda! <sarcasm> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/bsg2112/neildrum.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/bsg2112/neilboard.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/bsg2112/neilblack.jpg
  22. QUOTE (Jack Aubrey @ Oct 20 2004, 11:16 AM) In 1991, the average bra size in the U.S. was 34B. Today, it's 36C. (Did I ever imply I was NOT a dog?)
  23. QUOTE (GhostGirl @ Oct 20 2004, 10:04 AM) I couldn't resist posting this here. My six and half year old son loves U2 (for SOME reason ) and his current "listen in the car" song is "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." For those familiar with the lyrics, there's a line that goes: "I believe in the kingdom come Then all the colors will bleed into one" But, my son sings, with much gusto: "I believe in the King of Kong...." I believe, too. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/bsg2112/kingkong.jpg
  24. bah! humbug! Must be standing on one of his drum risers!
