Zaphon B. thought it a good use of my time to say:
I live in the south and am from the north as I say to all the those
folks
from the
white trash mountains of Virginia.

We kicked your rebel asses 140 years ago and we can damn sure do it
again,
so
watch it. :0)


That war is over. Get on with your life.
Other than Vietnam, it seems to be the last war "you" won

Chronic and degenerative withering away of your funny bone "Sisyphus"?

Oh I know, what I said wasn't remotely funny and I'm too stupid to realize
it.

I thought I'd reply for you and save your fingers, I'm thinking potential
trolls like
you might need em.

Lighten up I was fun'n you.

WTF! You need to get out more. I'm from Ca and been all over the US and
several other parts of the Big Blu Marble and I live in MN USA now. And I
have yet to find the average person as bad as you say when I extend my
hand
and say hello. Get out more and you'll find people for the most part are
ok.
Yes I,ve gotten teased about being from Ca but its all in gest. I like
when
they ask if I own a gerbil and I say no, I prefer hamsters :)

Excellent point Mr. Hill, I'm constantly jumping up on strangers,
smiling and asking them how they like their burger or if they really
think the line were in is, just the right size. Almost without
exception you'll get a smile, a chuckle or a nod of the head BUT
this **** FREAKS my old lady out. It embarrasses her and makes her
feel uncomfortable. How can engaging a fellow human being in
silly conversation for a moment or two be bad?
**** If I do nothing else in life but make a person or two, grin or
laugh, then I think I've helped ease the pain in the world a little
or at least in that persons life.

I guess that's why she's working on being my ex-old lady.

I'm also NEVER suppose to talk to or start conversations in elevators

There is 1 out of 10 people that when you pull my silliness will just
look at
you with disgust and not play with me, but i just figure they have
broken their
funny bone and try and think a good thought for them and move on.

Rectocranial inversion.

It isn't very painful, because sufferers aren't usually
aware of their affliction.

Here in Minnesota, Shawn, that kind of thing is a team sport.
I believe we've got leagues set up to compete in small talk.

It's funny; I can always spot a non - Midwesterner: They
are the folks who, when you chat 'em up, look like you just
took a crap on their shoes.

| PS. Oh and another two things
| I'm also NEVER suppose to talk to or start conversations in elevators

Funny story from my days in Milwaukee: I was getting
lunch at the Grand Avenue Mall, and in steps a very
well - dressed lady and two guys who obviously worked
with her. The most oily, rauncy, smelly, raucously - loud
fart jumped out of me. I turned around, looked surprised,
and fixed my gaze on the lady, and said, "Jesus Christ,
lady!" She got out of the elevator on the second floor,
the guys stayed in, the door closed, and the guys laughed
to the point of tears. One of 'em said, "I've wanted to do
that since I started working for that woman!" I replied,
"Damn, that's going to itch when it dries." They laughed
their butts off, and we parted friends.

Life is good.

Great story - the moral, I guess, is "If you want to make friends you have
to break a little wind". Lucky for this NG you can't do that over the
Internet!

Damn, time to head to the Bunker of Doom.

Okay, it isn't a bunker, it's a den.

Well, all right, damn it, it's a walk - in closet.

I *think* I can hamster proof it. I hope I have
enough room for my MREs *AND* hamster
proofing equipment.

The odd juxtaposition of gefilte fish and rednecks made
me think of Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys.

I wonder if Kinky will get any votes? He'd make an
*interesting* Governor!
