I just read that Patrick Swayze was in a little fender bender. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. It occurred while he was buying some stuff at Target. Apparently he accidently hit somebody who was backing out of a parking space. Fortunately, no damage was done to either car.

That person that was in Patrick Swayze's way is such a loser! Why not just get out of his way?

besson3c · Apr 23, 2006, 03:03 PM

Apparently it was this person, named Sarah Cullander:

What an idiot.

Maybe Patrick was drunk. He's got a history of crashing stuff while intoxicated, even airplanes.

Is that before or after? If it was before she deserved it.

No way man... Patrick Swayze would never do that. Have you seen his latest wardrobe?

fixed!
He magically disappeared for a day after crashing his plane about 5 miles from here. But it's common knowledge around these parts that he was trashed.

link for wardrobe, please.

The secret leaked pics that were put online have already been taken offline...

Maybe somebody will leak some pictures of Steve Guttenberg's wardrobe before too long...

I think it was before. This is just a photo the press had on file for this lunatic who is probably a crazed fan.

What is your signature supposed to mean? Garden hose, slot machine? Hose slot? Is that supposed to be funny?

Ahhh! Clever.. no "G" in your sig, but close enough.... Why the 777 anyway?

Anyway, as much as I'd like to continue this conversation with you, we're getting off topic here.

Ghoser777 · Apr 23, 2006, 08:33 PM

Well, it is a garden hose, so there's the g. It all stems from the movie Rookie of the Year, where the coach messes up the kid's name several times. Rowengartner became Gardenhoser in one instance. My high school cross country coach couldn't get my name right either, so he started calling me that.

The 777 is fairly random, but 7 used to be my baseball number, and I liked having three in a row (seemed better than 666).

Is it really a fender bender if no fenders were bent?

Why so mean? I asked Ghoser777 about his signature and he answered... *I* cared. If you don't, you can scroll down (or up) to get to the heart of the matter.

That's a great philosophical question!

Aren't bent fenders just the post-modern dilemma though? They are only bent because our experience indicates that they are bent.

This thread is a fine example of a mixture of statements to and about several posters and about the nature of thread topics and a chance for bess to FINALLY show a wit and sparkle that usually got lost in fuzziness. This is very funny and very entertaining, but to avoid being a one trick pony would he dare try a third one of this type?

I give it a 10!

Truly sublime!

Dear Prince of Truth,

Maybe you could stop calling people fuzzy like you said you were going to? It might demonstrative a bit of humility sadly lacking, and perhaps an ounce of respect you might need for people to have patience with your lunacy.

P.S. try to not trip over your cape.

Negotiation 101: The first bump will likely be the biggest bump.

When the person you're negotiating with is finally offering to negotiate, that's when you should ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT RIGHT THERE. There will never be a better time. And do it with style.

besson3c illustrates this principle very nicely.

However, in any case you must always be prepared for the other person to balk at the terms you have asked. And you should ALWAYS be ready, willing and able to walk away from any negotiation unless it is known by both parties that you MUST walk away from the table with a deal.

In this case I believe besson3c asks too much and doesn't understand the importance of the word, Fuzzy, when it comes to the history of MacNN. There may be certain words or concepts that find their way from these pages and make it into the real world. Like the Hitler rule, what's it called?

Well, FUZZY has the potential of making it into the real world and to abort it when it has the potential to immortalize MacNN and abe as the person who started it, well, I just can't do it.

So, sorry bess. You'll just have to live with my glowing endorsement of your threads.

Nice try, though!

You're a riot Abe... If you didn't scare me so much, I'd be laughing right now.

Yes, you will become famous because of some word you created on a board on the internet that will find its way into the real world, just like Hitler.

Dork. · Apr 25, 2006, 08:46 AM

Wombats are fuzzy. Does that mean Hitler was a wombat? I'm confused.

I think that maybe this is the mathematical equation that explains everything:

Wombats = fuzzy = Hitler = Art Bell = David Bowie ^ Anna Benson * George W. Bush night lights

Does this help?

Please mods, I beg you, don't lock this thread? Please?

Since you're a guy this certainly wouldn't apply to you so I can just say it without reservation.

I once knew a woman who was so conscious of having trouble achieving 'satisfaction' that she mentally and emotionally pounced on an orgasm the moment it was even close to being tortured up from inside of her.

I told her to relax and don't worry about the big "Oprah." We played games and I told her I wasn't going to take her all the way so she should just enjoy the playing around for what it was.

You can guess the rest.

You and 'legendary' threads!

A good, funny thread doesn't always or automatically become legendary. While this one is certainly way up there you are all ready to pronounce it legendary???

Relax. Play around. It's not legendary. Just enjoy the posts, why dontcha?

Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to think of having an orgasm when addressing you in my posts.

I'm surprised this wasn't obvious!

Kind of interesting who got it and didn't get it. You got Turtle over here making like Zell Miller and getting intensely upset, and Kevin is probably still yelling at that stack of napkins...
