OT Things to ponder

[geofflambert]

Somehow I stumbled into this, and it had my eyes welling up plenty. I wasn't at this game, but it was typical and both teams had tons of utterly awesome players.
I guess my favorite would have to be Ryne Sandberg, but I loved Willy McGee the most.

*** Caution, the following clip may portray disturbing images of Bullwinkle58 ***

Well, not really, I slowed it down (for myself) like the Zapruder film trying to see if Bullwinkle58 was involved, but my determination is inconclusive. Pay attention at 12:30 and make your own judgement.

Bird for the day: If I am correct this is a female Ruby Throated hummer. Only the males have the ruby throat.

I didn't know Gorns into hummers!!

Yes, the army is dumping them on us in favor of some new hybrid MRAP. [;)]

Does anyone know what this is? I thought maybe Lark Sparrow but that doesn't look right.

Are you being serious? What is it? It's a freakin' bird feeding table you stupid Gorn.

Oh sorry... did you mean the bird?...

It looks like a happy birdie to me. [;)]

Once more, I'm going to give you all the bird. In post #136 I showed you a female cowbird. Here is a male.

[warspite1]

Listen Gorn, this forum is a mostly male preserve (sorry Grafin [;)]) so with that in mind I have to ask; just what in the name of Bonaparte's balls are you doing posting a picture of a male bird? What is that anyway - a geezerbird?

Allow me to put things in order here:

Now that's my kinda 'bird'.[:D]

[geofflambert]

warspite1, better not post any pics of your fütbol heroes. Somebody just started a thread about that rubbish. I will petition the moderator to lock that thread down.

Is that "bird" Emily Mortimer from Newsroom? I'll take Olivia Munn over her. I love freckles.

[BBfanboy]

That expression says "I dare you to try ...."
I think she could make you hurt, even if you did detach your tail.

You are certainly correct. I'm hurting just looking at her picture. But I wouldn't detach my tail, after all she might have some use for it while it was still attached to me.

[geofflambert]

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to flip another bird on this thread in the same day.

Easy there Mr Gorn, your starting to sound like a certain person [;)]

But by way of clarification I would not dream of posting pictures of footballers on this thread. And if I did it would certainly not be Lionel flippin' Messi.

Now Sir Harold of Kane on the other hand.....

He's one of our own
He's one of our own
Harry Kane
He's one of our own

How do you know I'm not that certain someone in a gorn suit and heavily medicated? Let me make a checklist:

1) Everyone who thinks gorns are not perfect are fatheads!

2) Anyone who likes fütbol is a fathead.

4) Everyone who thinks gorns are not perfect are fatheads!

4) Anyone who thinks I can't make a perfect checklist, well, I know some people who know people who can get you banned for life from this forum!

*** Just to make sure no one mistakes as to whom I'm trying to satirize, as there are several forumites who enumerate their posts, I'm certainly not referring to Alfred, who is a really good guy just a bit stuffy. I'm referring to someone who is a former forumite.

Sssssssssssshhhhhhhhhuuuuuuuussssssssssshhhhhhhh! [:-]

No. He usually stayed out of this forum but did show in "The War Room", I think. I'm not sure, nobody ever goes there anymore, it's too crowded.
