Oh yeah!

Kids Incorporated!  I used to love that show!  I always thought even back 
then how fantastic it would have been to be in a group like that.  Guess I 
always did want to perform or something even way way back then.  hehheh

I remember those machines!
I also remember having to watch those film strips in class as opposed to on 
video.


I too remember BBS's. I actually had a few friends that ran them back in the 
day.  It still amazes me back then to think about it now--how slow those 
things were, yet somehow they were cool at the time!


And that's, one to grow on!

So

well, I did. Boy was he mad when all of a sudden, the power was just, uh,
gone when he was working.

When I was little, I had a stereo with a turntable, an eight track, and a

You guys wanna know what I had when I was little? I had this padded
headphone radio  with a tuning and volume knob on one ear. They were very
isolated and, though this was when I was like seven, I remember it sounding
pretty damn good back then. Until I dropped the thing. Oops. But to this
day, I remember listening to the radio on the first night I got them and
hearing Michael McDonald's song, I Keep Forgettin'. So til this day,
whenever I hear it (not that I particularly like the song very much), I
think of that old headphone radio.

Same for all that, sept I did that at age 3 by putting the tape/radio 
switch in the middle for blankness.
Then there was the really neet way I had of copying stuff that lasted 1 
day(s)

When I was 5, I got one of those mics that let you be on the radio.
When the mic died, which happend about 2 months later, it was still cool 
because that's when the little boombox broke that could do the fake tape

erasing thing.

So I could get myself a blank carier.

Dad took the mic apart and I got a very basic lesson in audio/electronics.

I had a set of headphones that broke, but they had a volume slidey thing 
on them.


I cut the plug off and stripped a bit of the bare wires and twisted them 
where the mic part use to be.


Then I could copy stuf

that way!

Mommy saw it, and in order to make it look better, cut some of the wires 
on the pcb, which broke it.


Needless to say, I went cry.

Since those things couldn't scan music it probably wouldn't have helped me

What's even worse though, is that for the longest time even when i was in 
college we had no internet at the school that I went to, so you still had 
to go to the library, or contact RFB and try to get them to help you with 
your research.  It, was, a, pain!
We had an Atari 2600, and while the graphics did blow from what I 
understand, it was cool because those things were totally easy to play if 
you couldn't see.
Every Friday night in my house, my brother, step-brother, my parents, and 
I, would have our version of a sort of family game night, which involved 
a sort of tournament version of playing Atari.  It lasted at least, until 
Knight Rider came on.  LOL

If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their
tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were
growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school
every morning  uphill
BOTH ways .. yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was
no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on
kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!

But now that...

I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look
around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy!
I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how
good you've got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we
wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and
look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!

There was no email! ! We had to actually write somebody a
letter .. with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across
the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a
week to get there!

There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you
had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!

Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and
the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!

We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the
phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!

And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone
rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your
mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent,
you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances,
mister!

We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with
high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games
like Space Invaders and asteroids and the graphics sucked ass!
Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!
And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen
forever!
And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder
and faster and faster until you died! . Just like LIFE!

When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium
seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some

Somehow I missed the original message that this was in response to...

I'm not sure about cassette tape sound, but what really rocks is vinyl if 
the person properly took care of their record collection.


My best friend in college had a hge record collection all very well 
taken care of, and she had a stereo system with a turn table that had one of 
those big tube amps.  Man!  That thing could keep her dorm room really warm 
in winter!
Anyway, we listened to all sorts of stuff on it and it came in handy if we 
had to take exams on some classical pieces.  The sound was amazing!

Hey, i still have vinyl and cassette tapes in use. In fact i prefer them. 
Many people are going back because they realize that analogue still has 
the purest sound. You just liked the sound of your collection. Come back 
to us. Back to paradise.
Also, considering MY age, i could go off on good things no longer around. 
But i remember everything you mentioned, and more. I still have a 
newspaper advert page of toys in my shirts drawer from 1964. Honey West 
dolls and Buster Browns anyone? Lucky Cakes?

Well even if you are a fake blond, you're still a real Amy. Aww.

I also remember the Apple 2E and using BEX as a word processor and 
flipping

the disks over when it prompted you to do so. I remember playing that
Lemonade Game too. In elementary school, I also remember having tape
recorders hooked up to these computers on which kids used to learn math 
and

reading skills. The computers ran off of these tape drives and I remember
wanting to play the tapes in an audio tapedeck to see what they sounded
like. In the late 80s, I also remember when people started getting into
calling BBS's.

I remember watching shows like Kids Incorporated and always loving those
little snippets between cartoons called, One to Grow on.

I remember playing Asteroids and some boxing game on the 2600 but we sure
didn't have tournaments. How cool that you guys did that!

Same for all that, sept I did that at age 3 by putting the tape/radio 
switch in the middle for blankness.
Then there was the really neet way I had of copying stuff that lasted 1 
day(s)

When I was 5, I got one of those mics that let you be on the radio.
When the mic died, which happend about 2 months later, it was still cool 
because that's when the little boombox broke that could do the fake tape

erasing thing.

So I could get myself a blank carier.

Dad took the mic apart and I got a very basic lesson in 
audio/electronics.


I had a set of headphones that broke, but they had a volume slidey thing 
on them.


I cut the plug off and stripped a bit of the bare wires and twisted them 
where the mic part use to be.


Then I could copy stuf

that way!

Mommy saw it, and in order to make it look better, cut some of the wires 
on the pcb, which broke it.


Needless to say, I went cry.

Braille tattoos for the blind
Posted: Oct 22nd 2007 10:01AM by Rigel Gregg
Filed under: General Health, Health and Technology

Tattoos are an artistic expression of individuality, style, and art, and have 
(until now) only been appreciated by those with the gift of sight. But now, 
through the efforts of a student at The University of Arts Berlin, you can also 
make a statement that can be felt and appreciated by the blind.

By having a series of small beads or a small plate embossed with text (made 
of stainless steel, titanium, or plastic) implanted under the skin you can have 
an expressive work of art that can be appreciated through both sight and touch. 
It's braille for your skin! 
http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braille-tattoo-blind

Would you do it? I'm thinking with color maybe, but without it just looks like 
an organized group of zits.

Re: The Talk2 List more oddness!

2007-10-23 Thread Amy Billman
Not only that, but say they had a tattoo of a pinup or of a flower or butterfly 
or something I would think that that could have the potential to be a source of 
distraction for your partner.
I'm not against tattoos, but I do not understand the need to feel them.  Not, 
at, all!

It is one thing if a person has a mole or birth mark, or like you and I a pock 
mark or freckles--or just natural imperfections that exist in skin that we are 
all born with--the cool little identifiers that make us all unique and the 
human body all the more fantastic and beautiful, but if I were to ever do any 
sort of body modification, I'd not want to have it be something that someone 
could feel, or that would look odd to a sighted partner either.
If you get a tattoo or something like that, it's for you anyway, not for 
someone else's benefit, so the point of feeling it really is stupid.
I'm with you: I'm perfectly happy with the way my body is now, and have no 
desire to add any additional blemishes!  LOL
The jury is still out as to whether or not I will get a tattoo, but if I do, it 
will have some significance to me, and that's that.
I do not believe that the inventors of such things are thinking about how these 
things would go off in the normal sighted world, where we all live.
I mean--it's almost as if they're laboring under the mindset that we are living 
in this world where we've got a bunch of blind people swimming in a sea of 
sighted, and everything needs to be made--um--blind friendly.  Perhaps some 
things in life need to be adapted, but wow!
Wow did we ever get on a tangent or what? hehhehehhehhehahhh

little Braille numbers to show us the degrees when you drew an arc through the 
circles. Blech! Anyway, what if they had those damn Playboy or Centerfold 
magazines to look like those geometry graphs? Whoa! 

   As for the tattoos?

  The description suggests that the person getting this, isn't actually getting 
a tattoo, but they are getting a Braille implant instead. I don't think this
  would be something I'd want either, Amy. And the zits comment was damn funny! 
  

  The feeling of smooth skin is great. Even the feeling of natural blemishes or 
marring due to life and all that it brings is understandable and can offer
  something unique. I have a small pock mark on my left cheek from when I had 
chicken pocks. Guys who have dated me have said that it is unobtrusive and 
looks more like
  freckles and offers character. Who the hell knows. But I don't think I'd want 
Braille implants.  I like my body just the way it is, thanks. Heheh.

  If people enjoy tattoos, more power to ya. For me, I guess I think that if I 
was meant to have a tattoo, Ida been born with a built-in pen.

  And as for why anyone would want to feel the thing, depending on where it was 
placed? Is there any place that it could be placed that you'd wanna feel it? 
Uh, I don't think sowowowowow... 

  How attractive would it be to run your hands over your partner's skin and run 
your favorite Braille-reading finger over the words, Amy, Mary Ann, Julie, 
Sam, Cindy, Donna, Michelle, Rosie, or whatever. Heheheheheh. Especially, now

matched so it didn't matter.  Sort of defeating the purpose you know?

Yeah I think that some of this goes a bit overboard.  I mean I'm all for 
accessibility and broadening ones horizons, but wow!  My mom was the one that 
sent me these, and she could not wrap her head round the idea behind the 
Braille tattoos either!
Personally I can't either. If I want a tattoo, I'll go and get one, and 
that will be that.
Plus given the places that some folks put tattoos, why in hell would you 
have the impulse to feel them anyway?

It just amazes me the things people come up with!  I have no reason, like 
you, to feel a neck tie, or bottle of wine or beer.  That's excessive to me.  
So what I want to know, is where is the line between meeting the needs of a

Hey Maria,

There are few words that can offer consolation in times like these. I am
thinking of you and your family. I am here for you if you need a friend 
to
cry to, a word of support, or even just someone to sit and talk with 
about
anything but, the situation. Maybe you just need someone to help you 
think
through the daunting logistics that no one ever wants to have to think 
about

when things like this happen.

If you need to get an emergency flight, there are airlines that may 
offer a
deeply discounted bereavement flight if you provide to the airline, a 
faxed
copy of the name of the person who has passed on, their relationship to 
you,

the name of the funeral home, and doctor.

If you need any help with the clerical aspect of these details, let me 
know.

I've done this before when I had to fly from Portland to Michigan. I can
help with making calls or coordinating faxing between parties if you get
stuck without faxing capabilities.

Maybe there are alternate airports that the airlines will tell you 
about,

given the fires.

Whatever you need, I will help. Just say the word.

Your friend,
Mary Ann

I don't know what you're talking about though re: Amy key chain.
My net died after the last time John came back on air, and so I didn't hear the

The Talk2 List TOO FUNNY!!!!

2007-10-25 Thread Amy Billman

A cabbie picks up a nun. She gets into the cab and notices that the very 
handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring.
He replies,'I have a question to ask you, but I don't want to offend you'.

She answers, 'My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have 
been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about
everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would 
find offensive.'
'Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.'

She responds, 'Well, let's see what we can do about that. #1, you have to be 
single and #2, you must be Catholic.'
The cab driver is very excited and says, 'Yes, I'm single and Catholic.'
'Ok' the nun says. 'Pull into the next alley.'
The nun fulfills the cab driver's fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker 
blush.
But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
'My dear child,' said the nun. 'Why are you crying?'
'Forgive me but I have sinned. I lied and I must confess. I'm married and I'm 
Jewish'
The nun says, 'That's ok. My name is Mike and I'm going to a Halloween party.'

You could just make one hge long mix like the six minute one you gave 
Mary Ann for her show that time, and it could just be played repeatedly over 
and over and over again.


Of course I think that it could possibly have some sort of negative impact 
on the universe in some way cuz that thing was really really intense, but

  Hey all

As of 8:00 last night, a great burden has been lifted off my shoulders.  
The past two weeks or so have seen a Clower become nearly catatonic with 
anxiety, but the massive term project for my constitutional law class is now 
complete.  So join me tonight at 6:00 Eastern Standard Time as I celebrate in a 
manner only becoming of the John Zone.  Last Tuesday saw the release of the 
second volume of the Sesame Street - Old School series on DVD.  Rather than 
work on the aforementioned project, I spent much of Friday night and Saturday 
morning ripping and cataloging various bits from the set.  Suffice it to say 
that Sesame Street segments will most certainly be in abundance tonight, along 
with some newly acquired music by Tim Wilson and Bob Rivers (non-holiday of 
course), and perhaps a few never-before-heard tracks by TBRN's favorite Irish 
minstrel, Seamus Kennedy.  As is the standard on The Beyond Radio Network, your 
requests and comments and rants of a Non sequitur nature are always welcome.  
So direct your media player of choice to your TBRN stream of choice tonight at 
6:00 and let's see what happens!

She got up, unplugged the TV, and threw out my wine.

Wish I could be around for that one, but I will be deep in family time, and 
with all of the circumstances of late, that's more important, so even if I did 
have net access over there and could tune in, I more than likely would not be 
inclined to do so.

It's nice though to have a break from technology though.  I enjoy not being 
tethered to my computer since I am so much for work!

  OK, maybe in Greenville, but if the social services department comes out and

The thing is, that you still can do good and give back to people in this world 
without having a job as a social worker or what ever.  The paperwork wasn't the 
deciding no factor for me however, it was the fact that you spend more time in 
most cases dealing with red tape and overload of cases rather than doing the 
good for humanity that drew you to the field in the first place.

If you ask someone that graduated with their MSW why they got that degree, 
their generic response is because I want to help people,  That's awesome, I'm 
all for helping people, but you can accomplish that task by volunteering your 
time coaching special Olympics or being a big brother or big sister, a victim 
advocate or crisis center volunteer--go work for habitat for humanity.  My 
point, is that you can give and get back ten fold without a job as a social 
worker.

Paperwork should be outlawed in my opinion.  It exists in almost every 
profession where you spend any time working with people, but it is still an 
awful task!  *frowns*

Hey all

  The John Zone will be somewhat delayed tonight as I have a prior 
engagement which just happened to fall at 7:00 this evening.  With luck I can 
be back by 9:00 CST.  However since this is a relatively late hour, I may 
reschedule my oh-so random show for a makeup slot later this week, particularly 
if this event tonight takes longer than expected.  Hmmm.  A show from 11 to 2AM 
Eastern Time?  On a week night?  No thank you!  I apologize for the short 
notice, but it really is that time of the semester when papers and meetings and 
projects abound.  For those who don't have my MSN messenger ID address 
monicker, that may be the best way to keep up to date with my ever-changing 
show schedule, since I don't always have the time to send out an EMail to the 
various TBRN lists.  Feel free to add [EMAIL PROTECTED] iffen you don't already 
have it.  Alright, back to paper-writing I go.

  lol Well because I wouldn't dare risk TBRN's two most beloved hens from 
wasting away, and because I'm just flat burnt out at this point, I decided to 
bail on tonight's event.  This isn't something I technically have to be at.  
It's more or less a political pannel discussion in which a friend of mine is 
taking part.  But attending this would mean John would've had to stay on campus 
till after 9:00 for two days in a row, and doing a show is just far more 
enticing.  So be like Amy and Mary Ann and grab some dinner-like objects and 
join me this evening at 6PM for a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle 
and tustle? of your pre-pre-pre-Friday night existences.  What does John have 
planned for this week's show?  Why not tune in at 6 and find out!  Cuz right 
now, John doesn't know either.  http://tbrn.net:/tbrn.ogg

Two women friends had gone for a girl's night out.  Both were Faithful and 
loving wives,however they had gotten over-enthusiastic on the wine coolers.
Incredibly drunk and walking home they needed to pee, so they stopped in the 
cemetery. One of them had nothing to wipe with so she thought she would take
off her panties and use them. Her friend, however was wearing a rather 
expensive pair of panties and did not want to do that. She was lucky enough to 
squat
down next to a grave that had a wreath with a ribbon on it, so she proceeded to 
wipe with that
After the girls did their business they proceeded to go home. The next day one 
of the women's husbands was concerned that his normally sweet and innocent
wife was still in bed hung over, so he phoned the other husband and said, 
These girl nights have got to stop!  I'm starting to suspect the worst..my wife
came home with no panties!!
That's nothing said the other husband, Mine came to bed with a card stuck to 
her ass that said.
From all of us at the Fire Station. We'll never forget you.

Still good.
A jumbo  jet is making its final approach toTampa Airport.
The pilot comes on the  intercom, This is your Captain. We're on our final 
descent into
Tampa.  I want  to thank you for flying with us today and hope you enjoy your
Stay in the  Tampa Bay area.

He forgets to switch off the intercom.
Now the whole  plane can hear his conversation from the cockpit.
The copilot can be  heard saying to the pilot,  So, Skip, whatcha got planned 
while we're in  Tampa?
Well, says the Skipper,  first I'm gonna check into the hotel, take  a big 
crapthen I'm gonna take that new stewardess with the huge tits out  for
dinner  I'm gonna wine and dine her, take her back to my room and  give her 
a ride on the baloney pony all night long. 

Aghast and  amused, everyone on the plane hears this and immediately begins 
looking up and  down the aisle, trying to figure out who this new stewardess
is that the  pilot's talking about.
Meanwhile, the new stewardess is seated at the very back  of the plane.
She is so embarrassed that she starts running toward  the cockpit to turn the 
intercom off.

Halfway down the aisle, she  trips over an old lady's bag and down she goes.

The old lady leans over and  says: No need to hurry, dear. He's gotta land the 
plane and take a shit  first.

  Since the host of the show got a little drunk and barely remembers all of the 
strange hilarity that ensued while doing this show, it has been brought up that 
she should re-air it during her normal timeslot, as well as to include 
commentary. 

  And so I shall.

  If you missed the MarAmy show on Friday night, stay tuned tonight for the

The Talk2 List A Blind Man Blonds

2008-01-24 Thread Amy Billman
- BLIND MAN IN A BIKER BAR
A blind man wanders into an all girls biker bar by mistake.
He finds his way to a bar stool and orders some coffee.
After sitting there for awhile, he yells to the server, Hey, you wanna hear a 
blond joke?
The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice the 
woman next to him says,
Before you tell that joke, sir, I think it is only fair -- given that you're 
blind -- that you should know five things:
1. The bartender is a blond girl with a baseball bat.
2. The bouncer is a blond girl.
3. I'm a 6 foot tall, 175 lb. blond woman with a black belt in karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is blond and a professional weightlifter.
5. The la dy to your right is blond and a professional wrestler.
Now, think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?
The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head,and mutters,
No... Not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.


Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of God's 
best gifts. It involves many things, but above all, the power of going out of 
one's self, and appreciating whatever is noble and loving in another. --Thomas

  Good Monday all

If all of the proverbial stars can align, this could be one of the most 
jam-packed editions of The John Zone ever.  (that's jelly-packed for us 
American types.)  For you international peoples who may not know, last night 
marked our country's forty-second super bowl, which is one of the biggest 
sporting events of the year, if not the biggest.  Usually the commercials are 
even more entertaining than the game itself, and this year was no 
exception--well, up until the fourth quarter.  Yours truly has some of the 
highlights all isolated and ready to go for tonight's show, so be sure to tune 
in for some Superbowlish American hilarity.  (Take that, Patriots!)

And let's not forget that tomorrow is Marti Gras!  Since I have roots in 
Louisiana, the festivities will be expanding to The John Zone, complete with 
Cajun beds and Cajun tracks and gumbo!  How will gumbo transfer to online 
radio?  ...  Well I'm not sure, but hey we'll think of something.

Also featured this week will be part II of the tape I played last week from 
our summer vacation in 1998.  And if I have enough time, I may line in the 
infamous preschool video of me announcing to the world that 'I have to go 
potty.'  Yes, embarrasment will abound tonight beginning at 9:00 Eastern time 
at http://tbrn.net:/tbrn.ogg.  Come on.  You know you won't want to miss

The Talk2 List One question.

2008-02-19 Thread Amy Billman
Here's a one-question IQ Test to help you decide how you should
spend the rest of your day..

There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush.

By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses 
himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

Now, if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses,
how should he express himself?

Think about it first before scrolling down for the answer...

He opens his mouth and says. I would like to buy a pair of Sunglasses.  If 
you got this wrong, please turn off your computer and call it a day.

I've got mine shutting down right now.

quite yet. this is the night to wrap up things that must be wrapped up before 
the day is over. So stay tuned in the next week or so to follow. Since it soon 
will be the official start of a Mary Ann vacation, I do not promise to do a

The Talk2 List Are you a Democrat, Republican or Redneck?

2008-03-05 Thread Amy Billman
Are you a Democrat, Republican or Redneck?
  
 Here is a little test that will help you decide. The answer can be
 found by posing the following question:
  
  
 You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small
 children.
  
 Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the
 corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah,
 raises the knife, and charges at you.
  
 You are carrying a Glock cal 40, and you are an expert shot.
 
 You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
 What do you do??
  
 ~
 Democrat's Answer
  
 Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
  
 Does the man look poor? Or oppressed?
  
 Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
 
 Could we run away?
 
 What does my wife think?
 
 What about the kids?
  
 Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of
 his hand?
  
 What does the law say about this situation?
  
 Does the Glock have an appropriate safety built into it?
  
 Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does
 this send to society and my children?
  
 Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
 
 If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while
 he was stabbing me?
  
 Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound
 me?
  
 Should I call 9-1-1?
  
 Why is this street so deserted?
  
 We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a
 happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
  
 This is all so confusing! I need to discuss it with some friends over a
 latte and try to come to a consensus.

Did you put something in yours that caused you to forget that you are
currently sharing living space with the prime heh, thus negating the need 
to send a message all the way to London and back to get an answer that you

On a completely un-related note: it is painful to switch from my nice

The father Gets the message, and they both get up and head towards the

The mother turns back to the boys and says, We're going upstairs for a

boys nod ok, and the parents take off upstairs.
The oldest of the 2 boys is old enough to know what's going on now, and he 
gets up and tiptoes upstairs.
At the top of the stairs, He peeks into his mom and dad's bedroom and shakes 
his head. He goes back downstairs to his little brother. Come with me, He

On Monday, June 02, 2008 5:07 PM,
Amy Billman happened to mention in passing:


The History of Manure
 You learn something everyday...here's your lesson:

 Manure:  In the 16th and 17th centuries,  everything had to be
transported by ship and it was also before  commercial fertilizer's
invention, so large
shipments of manure were common.

 It  was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than
when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier,
but the process
of fermentation began again, of which a by product is methane  gas. As
the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and
did) happen.

 Methane  began to build up below decks and the first time someone came
below at night with a lantern, BM!

 Several  ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined
just what was happening.   After  that, the bundles of manure were
always stamped
with the term 'Ship High In Transit' on them, which meant for the
sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water
that came into the
hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of
methane.

 Thus  evolved the term ' S.H.I.T ' , (Ship High In Transport) which has
come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.

 You probably did not know the true history of this  word.

 Neither  did I.

 ,,,I had always thought it was a golf term.

other people in the eyes. If life gives you lemons, stick them down your
shirt and make your boobs look bigger.

The doctor arrived, and examined the baby,
checked his weight, and being a little concerned,

'Breast-fed,' she replied.

'Well, strip down to your waist,' the doctor ordered.

She did. He pinched her nipples, pressed, kneaded, and rubbed both breasts for 
a while in a very professional and detailed examination.

Motioning to her to get dressed, the doctor said,

The Talk2 List FWD: having a bad day?

2008-07-30 Thread Amy Billman
Things Got Ya Down?
Block quote start

   Well Then, Consider These . . .
 ..
In a hospital's Intensive Care Unit, patients always died in the same bed, on 
Sunday morning, at about 11:00 a.m., regardless of their medical condition.

This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it had something to do with the 
supernatural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred
around 11:00 a. m Sunday, so a worldwide team of experts was assembled to 
investigate the cause of the incidents.

The next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 11:00 am, all of the doctors and 
nurses nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible
phenomenon was all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books, and 
other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits

Just when the clock struck 11:00 , Willie Johnson, the part-time Sunday 
sweeper, entered the ward and unplugged the life support system so he could use
the vacuum cleaner.

Still Having a Bad Day?
Block quote end

The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez Oil spill in 
Alaska was $80,000.00.  At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively
saved animals were being released back into the wild mid cheers and applause 
from onlookers.

A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate both of them .

Still think you are having a Bad Day

Block quote start

A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, 
almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist 
towards
the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she 
whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places.

Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to his Walkman.

   Are Ya OK Now? - No?
Block quote end

Two animal rights defenders were protesting the cruelty of sending pigs to a 
slaughterhouse
in Bonn , Germany Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped 
through a broken fence, stampeding madly.

The two helpless protesters were trampled to death.

Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits. God is Good!

The Talk2 List Another funny...

2008-07-30 Thread Amy Billman
A man takes his wife to the State Fair and one of the exhibits is that of 
breeding bulls.  They come up to the first pen and there is a sign that says,
This Bull mated 50 times last year.  The wife pokes her husband in the ribs 
and says, He mated 50 times last year.
They walked a little further and see another pen with a sign that says, This 
Bull mated 120 times last year.  The wife hits her husband and says, That's
more than twice a week!  You could learn a lot from him.
They walk further and a third pen has a Bull with a sign saying, This Bull 
mated 365 times last year.  The wife gets really excited and says, That's
once a day.  You could REALLY learn something from this one.  The husband 
looks at her and says.Go up and ask him if it was with the same cow.
After nine surgeries and six years of therapy, the husband is now able to talk. 
 It is hoped that someday he will walk again.

Please don't try these at your home Wal-Mart... professionals only, please!

Mr. and Mrs. Fenton are retired and Mrs. Fenton insists her husband goes
with her to Wal-Mart. He gets so bored with all the shopping trips. He prefers 
to get in and get out, but Mrs. Fenton loves to browse. One day Mrs. Fenton
gets this letter from Wal-Mart:

Dear Mrs. Fenton,

Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a
commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and may ban both of 
you from our stores. We have documented all incidents on our video surveillance
equipment. All complaints against Mr. Fenton are listed below.

Things Mr. Bill Fenton has done while his spouse was shopping in
Wal-Mart:

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts 
when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute 
intervals.

 3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the
ladies rest rooms.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone,
'Code 3' in house wares.and watched what happened.

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and asked to put a bag of MM's on 
layaway.

6. September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other 
shoppers he'd invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding 
department.

8. September 23: When a clerk asks if they can help him, he begins to cry and 
asks, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a
mirror, and picked his nose.

10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, asked the clerk 
if he knows where the antidepressants are.

11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously loudly humming the 
Mission Impossible  theme.

12. December 6: In the auto department, practiced his Madonna look using 
different size funnels.

13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browse through, yelled 
PICK ME! PICK ME!

14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumes 
the fetal position and screams NO! NO! It's those voices again

And last, but not least:

15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited
awhile, then yelled very loudly, There is no toilet paper in here!

The Talk2 List And another one...

2008-09-04 Thread Amy Billman
When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace  
expensive
so, I took her to a gas station. that's when the fight started

*

I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Milller Light for $14.95.
Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95.
I told her the beer would make her look better at night than the cold cream.
And that's when the fight started.



After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social 
Security.
The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age.
I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home.
I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come 
back later.
The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.
So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.
She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she 
processed my Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social 
Security office.
She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten 
disability, too'
And then the fight started.

***

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion,
and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a 
nearby table.
My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'
'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend.
I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, 
and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'
'My God!' says my wife, 'Who would think a person could go on celebrating that 
long?'
And then the fight started.

*** 

I rear-ended a car this morning.
So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his 
car.
You know how sometimes you just get s stressed and little things just  seem 
funny?

Yeah, well I couldn't believe it he was a DWARF!!!

He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, 'I AM NOT HAPPY!!!'

So, I looked down at him and said, 'Well, then which one are you?'

And that's how the fight started.


I took my wife to a restaurant during the mad cow scare. The waiter, for some 
reason, took my order first.
'I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please.'
He said, 'Aren't you worried about the mad cow?'
'Nah, she can order for herself.'
And that's how the fight started.

Re: The Talk2 List new facebook is a pile

2008-09-24 Thread Amy Billman
At the risk of starting a blindy uprising, I'd venture to guess that the reason 
why nothing has shown up in blindy lists in the online universe, is because 
other than the headings being taken out, (which is probably the only valid 
gripe that people disliking the new fb have,) it really comes down to something 
as simple as folks not liking a change and being ripped out of their comfort 
zone.

They're not gonna change it back guys, so get over it.

Yes... The profile page is kinda nasty in spots, and removing applications 
is sort of a pain in the almighty asshole, but it's still totally doable.
Personally I like what they did with the news feed by making it in a 
chronological order, and they needed to have it so you could comment on 
statuses... That one was a long time in coming.
If you really feel the needfor something easier and faster, you can check out 
m.facebook.com in Firefox, but (at least I can't anyway) access the 
applications that way.

  There are several I'm sure, but those who took the time probably complained 
with the hundreds who have already done so.
  Thing is, I'm not for playing the blind card usually, but if I could 
talk/write to someone withpower, explaining why the old facebook was nice, 
rather than just saying how bad the new one is, I may hopefully make an 
impression.
  Like you, I must confess that I am surprised that one of the hard core 
advocates, who would normally start a petition about practically anything 
hasn't clamped on to this and ran screaming quite loudly.

  So, I'm going to ask the same question that many have asked around the 
net;  anyone manage to get the old facebook back?
  I've yet too, and I've spent more time on trying to get said version back 
than editing church things PDAudio stuff, and things I actually get paid to do.
  Oh well.
