I tried reading a manual once while assembling Ikea furniture. Somehow wound up building the thing upside down. It was really confusing. [&:][:D]
That was your anti-wisdom at work.

Besides, you're a guy. What the he11 are you doing reading the manual? Are you a girlie man or something?

Next thing we know, you'll be confessing that you actually stopped and asked for directions.

And if you admit that you have ever left the toilet seat down, I will have lost all respect for you.

1) I wasnt reading the manual. I was just looking at the pictures.

2) I never stop and ask for directions. I ask for them while moving. The doppler effect is really cool.

3) I may have left the toilet seat down once or twice, but it was only because its more comfortable to rest your chin on while you pour out your deepest feelings.

I beg your pardon. At my age and state of decrepitude, such an activity is something not to be even contemplated, let alone attempted.
Put my faith in the people
And the people let me down.
So, I turned the other way,
And I carry on anyhow.

It's the grabbing, mostly.

That activity should be contemplated with care at any age.

I used to be a great grabber. The neighborhood pre-teen girls loved me. Then, I was sent away to a place where I had to learn basket weaving.

But I'm feeling much better now.

Oh don't be silly! No monstrous, cataclysmic explosion will have any effect on the ANTI-THREAD. The Anti-Thread will live for 10,000 years.

Now, because of your action with the threads most of humanity could be vaporized any second now but that is another story. Maybe you should call the Ghost Busters since they have experience with crossing beams, threads and the like?

Long live the Anti-Thread[&o][&o][&o]

Care to explain that? C'mon, you cant just make a statement like that and walk off. I went and put my lucky, anti-vaporization boxer shorts on, but nothings happening.

We can only hope.

Is there any chance we can pick the parts to be destroyed?

Hmmm...let's try the picture thingie again...


Image
I remember back in the '80s, Lightfoot and another young fella whose career was pretty much over, Kris Kristofferson, did a nostalgia tour. I had a seat close to the stage (it wasn't exactly a sellout crowd), and the two of 'em were creaking and croaking along at some song or other, when, all of a sudden, ole Gord leans back away from the microphone and says, "Aw, sh1t, Kris, I'm really drunk!"

Ah, yes, another moment to treasure...

If he toured with Gilbert O'Sullivan (another happy Canadian) there would be a mass suicide due to depression at the end of the show.

Well I consider a "monstrous, cataclysmic explosion" and "vaporized" in the same "disaster catagory", sorta the same end result. And you yourself admitted that you had crossed the threads and that there was a possibility of a "monstrous, cataclysmic explosion" because of said crossing. "Vaporized" just takes less time to type so I used it instead of "monstrous, cataclysmic explosion".

Which boxer shorts did you put on when you are expecting the "monstrous, cataclysmic explosion" earlier today?[:D] Are these different shorts than a possible mass vaporization event?

Maybe it wasn't a true "crossing of the threads" as I havn't noticed any cataclysmic events either. Except maybe in New York where they are eating there own as the Yankee fans have gone bonzo on ARod. You never boo you own guys, at least not untill the season is a total bust and there is no chance of making the post season.

You are clearly not from Philadelphia. Opening day goes like this:

1. National Anthem
2. Introduction of the team
3. 1st pitch
4. "You suck!" yelled by Phillies fan. [:D]

Then again this is OK by your rules because as of the 1st pitch of the season the Phillies are a total bust and there is no chance of making the post season.[:(]

Ah, there is always next year.

Now, see, when you put these things in the context of boxer shorts, the difference between them becomes evident.

The "monstrous, cataclysmic explosion" is what you generally get from Mexican food con frijoles. "Mass vaporization" follows a night of beer drinking.

When you eat Mexican food and drink beer all night, the result is similar to what is predicted if the earth is ever hit by a "planet killer" asteroid (I am refraining from breaking that last word up into its two component elements with comic potential - "ass" and "roid" - because I wouldn't want anyone to think I only indulge in bathroom humor).
