bookwoman27 Member	posted 02-09-2007 06:43 PM quote: Originally posted by Mistress Hibbins: PLEASE BEAR WITH IT. This is not really a prejudicial joke, but when it was first told to me I thought it was very funny: What do you call a black man who flies a plane? Um, a pilot? I'm afraid I'm not very clever when it comes to answering jokes.... IP: Logged
Saint Aelphaba Moderator	posted 02-09-2007 07:01 PM quote: Originally posted by Mistress Hibbins: You poor dear, you cannot be "abstain to the woman's death." That doesn't make any sense! Abstain is a verb, not an adjective, and it means to deliberately refrain from performing or from taking part in some action or activity. It sounded like you were trying to say something like "I am indifferent to the woman's death" or perhaps "I shall obstain from becoming too involved in discussions concerning the woman's death." Anyway, some other people need to have a go at my joke--otherwise I feel a fool with that seemingly off-color question just hanging there.

Mistress Hibbins Member	posted 02-10-2007 10:26 AM quote: Originally posted by bookwoman27: Um, a pilot? I'm afraid I'm not very clever when it comes to answering jokes.... Gah! It is not your fault, but you didn't have to be clever when it came to answering this joke. Usually people either try feebly to guess something clever, or are just stumped, and after some minutes the answer is technically given as: A pilot, you fucking racists! So, congratulations, Bookwoman, you are not a racist. IP: Logged
bookwoman27 Member	posted 02-11-2007 01:02 PM Ha ha, that is good news. Actually, it reminded me of that "brain teaser" where the boy and his father are in a car accident, and the father is killed, and while the boy is in surgery, the surgeon says, "I cannot perform surgery on this boy, he is my son" and most people are usually confused because they never think about the fact that a surgeon could ever be a woman and therefore the boy's mother. Anyway, that's what came to mind when i read your joke, so I decided to give the obvious answer.... [This message has been edited by bookwoman27 (edited 02-11-2007).] IP: Logged

lostladyknight Moderator	posted 02-18-2007 10:30 PM I saw the most horrible thing in Wal Mart today. Rachel and I went back to pick up fish food and look into talking to a clerk about how to care for our rapidly growing baby fish. Well in the back there was a sign saying "all fish 50% off" and the fish tanks will filled with either dead or dying fish. They were anywhere from half full to having little less than an inch of water in them. And the tanks were grimy with slime and debris. One poor fish was trapped beneath a broken filter in a half an inch of water. I wanted to scream at one of the associates to DO SOMETHING about it. IP: Logged
bookwoman27 Member	posted 02-18-2007 10:47 PM Ugh, Walmart is notorious for those types of stories....I hear that over and over again from fish-keeping folk.... IP: Logged

And about the Wal-Mart thingy ma jig...that is terrible, my friend had a pet fish named sam, I loved him, he was so cute! But that is just wrong.

Saint Aelphaba Moderator	posted 02-23-2007 05:29 PM Oh, Maine, is one of the states I'm absolutely dying to go to! I hear it's wonderful! Oh today was amazing. IP: Logged
helenbooktrip Moderator	posted 02-23-2007 07:08 PM why was today amazing St A? today was a milestone day for me. after 4 years, i finally started telling my mother how i've been feeling about her leaving us. i sent her an email with a bunch of stuff about what she did and how i'm angry at her and everything. it barely scratched the surface, but its a start. IP: Logged
Saint Aelphaba Moderator	posted 02-23-2007 08:30 PM Well, for everyone else, this probably sounds really stupid. But I had my favorite teacher full out apologize to me - because I asked him why he made fun of my opinions all the time - and he said it was because they were actually good and sparked discussion, and such and such and such. And he told me was sorry like four times. So that made me really happy. (And we listend to 80's music and sang along to American Pie.. plus, we watched a really good video on Cosimo Medici and the Medici Dynasty.) Basically, just a nice day. And Helen, that is really really REALLY good, what you did. IP: Logged

SoulOverflowing Member	posted 03-19-2007 01:23 PM For those of you who have pets and haven't heard about this, there's a major recall on dog and cat food due to some unknown ingredient that is causing renal(kidney) damage and/or death. The link below lists all of the brands that are being pulled. It's also updated frequently so it's good to check up on it every so often. http://www.menufoods.com/recall/ IP: Logged
lostladyknight Moderator	posted 03-19-2007 01:35 PM I am proud to say that I do not use any of the products mentioned on that list. I'm glad my loyalty is to Purina. Thanks for posting this though. I was scared for a minute. IP: Logged
Risika Member	posted 03-20-2007 06:19 PM LLK and I just saw the list when we were shopping for cat stuff at Walmart today. That's pretty crazy. I've always like Purina as well. IP: Logged
munchkin Member	posted 03-30-2007 01:17 PM I didn't want to start a whole new topic for this so I thought I'd just, you know, throw it out there... Is Fiyero's surname mentioned anywhere in the book? I've got it into my head that it is but I can't find it, and I feel like I know it and it's on the tip of my tongue! The reason I ask is that in the muscial they use a surname which, to me, sounds ridiculous. I can't make out what it's supposed to be, but it bugs me every time. IP: Logged
Saint Aelphaba Moderator	posted 03-30-2007 03:11 PM I believe it is something along the lines of: Prince Fiyero of the Arjiki Tribe in the Vinkus. No surrname, just a title. IP: Logged
munchkin Member	posted 03-30-2007 03:41 PM Arjiki. That's what I was thinking of. Thank you!!! IP: Logged
