it's common, everyone has it, everyone knows the smell.

If you want to impress someone, get the expensive, lesser known stuff. It's neat to see a girl's face light up and say "wow, what are you wearing? i never smelled that before". Automatically you've distinguished yourself from the rest of the crowd, now you have to live that up...

 

ahhh been going out with my girlfriend 5 years now.

I don't need to impress with it. Smells good to me. And thats all I care about LOL.

Chado

ps. I'm out, have to use speedstick...thanks for reminding me I am going to get some after my test just before I change fuel filter.


Leaving now actually lol.

 

I feel like a ricken roodle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are those things on the end of your shoelac called and who invented them??????

 

"Aglets", I believe.

ROTFLOL RJR99SS, the thought of a girls eyes lighting up after sniffing yer pits is just about the funniest thing on this thread. Can't you just see the commercial, though?

Girl lounging on this guy, sniffing him, obviously enjoying it "wow, what are you wearing? i never smelled that before".

cheesy announcer says: "Automatically you've distinguished yourself from the rest of the crowd" Suddenly the guy is covered in hot girls in bikinis "now you have to live that up..." Guy gives you a big thumbs up with the canned enthusiasm of a Mentos commercial while the brand name flies across the top of the screen. "It worked for me!!"

Which reminds me, I saw this once on the side of a VW bus:

A flute with no holes is not a flute
but a doughnut without a hole, is a Danish.

How true.

How very, very true.

 

well it dosnt exactly work that way....but that is funny.

Did you know shoe laces were originally called thongs?

 

woo hoo, I snagged the 200th post. Its great to see so many fellow thinkers out there, and that they frequent FTE. Yay. I really wasn't sure how this one was gonna go over, I didn't think there were so many disconnected people out there. We should have a big party sometime.

I remember thong sandals, so whenever I see a girl wearing those little flip-flops I say "Nice thongs"

Did anybody else notice how all of Tom Petty's songs are about relationships?

 

running down a dream....?

 

Chasing a girl.

Im listening to wildflowers right now. Tom Petty was the only decent thing to survive the 80's, what a miserable decade, bad cars, bad hair, bad president, bad economy, (mostly) bad music, just bad. ewww the 80's

 

ok...nother long thought.

Old west "draws"

According to historians and just about every account of old west gunfights...the "Draw" was completly fictional. One man staring down another, each waiting to draw his gun, would of been considered a completly idiotic thing to do in that time. As most "gunfighters" were men of low character and honor, despite what hollywood dipicts. These draws didnt even take place in fiction of the time. It was only until the "spagetti western" genre of film did the draw come about.

Where does the draw come from though?

The western fictional draw is in fact identical to the very real EASTERN japanese draw.

As depicted in many studies on swordplay, paintings, art, all writings of the time, just about every aspect of samurai lifestyle was based on the philosophy of the draw. One samurai faces another, staring into their eyes, with their swords sheathed, waiting for the right moment to strike...or die. This was considered the most honorable, and in fact ONLY way to fight another samurai.

How did this turn into the western draw? Thank a tall Japanese man name Kurosawa, How wrote and directed many famed films, most of his most known work was done in the 1950s. Two films he made were the seven samurai, and yojimbo.

The seven samurai (1954), a story about a adverse group of samurai who gaurd a village from raiders (their only payment is 3 meals a day), was remade later as the western "The Magnificent Seven" in 1960.

Yojimbo(1956), a movie that first introduces the old familer western "stranger comes into town" plot was later remade into "a fistfull of dollars" in 1967 and starred clint eastwood none the less. It was even remade again in 1996 with "last man standing".

Those two films inspired the western genre of film, more than any actually western history. So it's sort of funny that many of our western cliche's are actually inspired by japanese culture.

 

For some reason or another, i feel this has become a rather productive thread! I really liked that story, RJR99SS. And Matt, I think we are all a little disconnected a times, we are just the only ones with the courage to admit it. I think everyone has these kind of weird random thoughts sometimes.

Hey, what if there were 3 genders? Dont anyone elaborate (that would get us in trouble), just think, if there were males, females, and something else.....

 

I try to let people know when I am feeling disconnected, they usually look at me funny, I don't know how to describe it.

I look at the people that I hang out with and they are perplexed by college, they spend a lot of time studying, and stressing over stuff. I just sit here and think up funny answers to put on tests, i find that only a few professors actually get the answers.

I don't even want to think about a third gender MTMD.
