Nickrz: [[It was clever the first couple of times someone used it. It’s not clever anymore, it’s trite and cliched and tired and stupid and shopworn and overused and who the hell ever gave a flying fuck on this board if the subject got changed anyway?]] Whatever you say, BABE. ---

You can jack off the thread, SanibelMan, but I would rather jack off myself. It’s more fun, if a bit lonely. * * * The Coyote gnaws … but he does not swallow. ---

Sanibel, I caution you this for your own good. Be very careful when using thread or rope during self-gratification. People have died that way, and the coroner always giggles. ---

Wait a minute, anyone can 'h_j_ck a thread! Allow me to demonstrate my mastery of this board… I think Nickrz has a point about keeping the discussion ‘on-topic’, though I must say he used some intemperate language in doing so. * * * In the bathtub of history, the truth is harder to hold than the soap… (Pratchett) ---

[[Anyone ever had to take shop in high school? I hated it.Anyone ever had to take shop in high school? I hated it.]] Just to give you an idea of my age, I tried to take wood shop in high school and wasn’t allowed to because I was a girl. I protested (since my mother was a carpenter, after all), and was told it was because girls had long hair. ---

I had to take woodshop (made a nice shelf- cut,sanded and stained it). Then, had to take metal shop (made a lamp out of sheetmetal and a soda can). All the guys had to take Home-ec, so I guess my school was ahead of the times 🙂 Zette * * * [Click here for some GOOD news for a change](http://www.binghamtonpress.com/binghamtonnews/local/Sanews5.html) [Zettecity](http://www.angelfire.com/ny3/zettecity/index.html) ---

I am guilty of hijacking. I am guilty of drawing attention to my own hijacks. I have pulled my head out of my ass, and am now bent & spread for that iron-fisted BCS. And though I am not worthy of a gentle touch, please try to be kind. This last baby I had left me with a coupla hemhorroids.
