You can put a fake name on this thread if you like, so all you lurkers out there, as well as nonlurkers, break down and let us know what you want to see--or not see. I think y'all know what I like!

Well, I rely on TB2K for the meat of the Middle East news, so I don't need an attempt to reconstruct that here. (Not at all against the occasional ME thread, especially something that isn't likely to appear on TB2K.) Otherwise, I like the diversity. Different folks posting different types of items.

Barefoot... LOL!

Brooks - I read the ME threads over there as well. As an aside, last weekend when working on painting the old house, I kept hearing tons of jets. I happened to walk outside to see what they were... Well, to my surprise they were all fighter jets fully loaded. I have never seen so many that loaded before. In a way, wish I were still on the flight path, cause I could sort of tell when things were up. Question is, what, exactly, was up?

Git, I see a pattern here. Clearly we're screaming for more articles on gardening and cats!

-- Anonymous, August 21, 2001

Sure. Lots of gardening articles turnip and get posted. And cats--well, we've only scratched the surface.

-- Anonymous, August 21, 2001

I read breaking news either here or TB...sometimes I actually go 2-3 days with out stopping at TB. I enjoy gardening and whatelse..CATS...and things that go bump in the night....and herbals and health. I can start cross posting Chicken soup stories more iffn you all like them.

I do not subcribe to newsy articles because if I am asked to "pick up" something...and I have read the article, it clouds my perception...that is why I seldome post news items.... I only read stuff if it keeps "coming up" you know...real solid news. shameless, I know, but I do not read all the ME stuff either.... I would crawl under the covers and throw in the towel.

Don't forget the tales about the lower torso.

Good heavens! I know the guys cringe any time anyone mentions Lorena Bobbitt or anything that would threaten their family jewels--that photo is enough to send them running for titanium codpieces.

Let's just hope that it wasn't an on the job accident. Can you imagine the looks you'd get filing for a worker's comp case?

hmmmm. The penal bone. Can't find it in my Gray's.

Git, maybe the answer to your original queston is it really doesn't matter what is posted, we're champions of thread drift.

-- Anonymous, August 21, 2001

It's true we are good at thread drift.

Pity I may not be here to see it happen since I have to get ready for work, and we have a nasty stormto our immediate west, and it has hail.

here is the bulletin:

Here I am at a client site for the past few days and I am catching up on my reading here. Do you all know how hard it is to keep a straight face and not bust out laughing like a hyena??????? I think I strained something.

Sigh! Another vote for broken willie news stories. Does NOBODY care that Al Gore and Al Sharpton plan to run for president?

Poor Beckie!!!! I almost choked on my tea reading this thread! I sent the "picture" to Dan at work......it will be waiting for him when he gets there...SURPRISE... heheheheh

OG, It is hard to take the Democrats seriously if they decide to run Gore again and Al Sharpton?????

Besides did you really think this group would give you a serious answer??

Also, just wondering how you got another broken willie story out of my response? I am female.

-- Anonymous, August 22, 2001

Well, yeah, I did kinda hope for some serious answers. It didn't occur to me that the thread would deteriorate so quickly. But, you're right, I shoulda known. Degenerates!

Oh--I took it you were laughing like a hyena at the reference to the broken willie photo that Sheeps posted. It seems to be very popular.

-- Anonymous, August 22, 2001

Sorry for the ... degeneration. Just couldn't help myself.

As for news, I like all kinds.

OG, I haven't looked at that photo yet because I am at a client site. Just the responses here have been hilarious. Too bad Carl is off-line right now, I am sure he would have added his touch to this thread as well.

At least over here we keep our sense of humor (bawdy as it might be :^) ) and I really like that.

As far as news, I think what has been being posted is fine.

"I haven't looked at that photo yet because I am at a client site." Good move, Beckie, goes to show how well you know us!

I'm sure Carl's here. He's just too busy guarding his jewels with both hands to be able to type anything.
