sandals with the thing that goes between your toe is still called a thong...thought it was kinda funny when I worked at Nike and some english guy would come in asking for sandals...or flip flops (depending on where there from)
I'd say well sir we have some nice thongs over here in orange...

The things on the end of laces are called ferules.
The loops used on sadles and military vehicles to strap on equipment, tools and gas cans are called footman loops, Ive always wandered why, and why aren't there other loops name after other body parts like headman loops or buttloops (assloops?) or...... oh well you get it.

Oh yeah I remember now. Supposedly two Army DJs at the Armed Forces Radio station in Japan after WWII decided to copy Orson Welles and do a show that had some monster coming up out of the sea and detroying its way to Tokyo sweeping aside the military and generaly laying waste to Japan and the Army and Navy, and just as in Orsons case some freaked out.
Some say its because of these two GIs the Japanese made all of those horrible movies.

Wouldn't it be great if a huge sea monster came up out of the ocean and swallowed the tiny overpopulated island nation of Taiwan?
I don't think so, they would put wal mart out of business.

I love Toy Story, all kinds of subliminal hints that get me thinkin'. I liked Toy Story II and Monsters Inc. I just wish I owned them, I get a lot of crazy thoughts from my nephew (3). My girl used to be a good source but she quit talkin' to me.

Wow I just realized that I have been on all day. Its strange to be addicted to a website.
I was just thinking about my kitty, I miss her. She has some pretty serious attitude though. I wonder if cats think we are weird.

They're putting an oil well across the road from our house. It's probably 50 feet from our pond and we saw a worker from over there come over here and look at our pond. I'm thinking, if they get oil in our pond then we should sue them for killing the last of an endangered species of micro-organisms. And being Illinois, we would probably win.
oh yeah, and we can't use our cell phone because we might blow up the oil well...I want to see if it works!!
In fact, they shut down the machine shop across the road from the well for a few hours today, just in case.

Where have all the cowboys gone?
Why is a jack stand called that when we put cars/trucks on them?
Why are they called speakers when they dont answer my questions?
If you ground an electric window does it short out?
Have you tried to find the end of the rainbow? Where is it?
When everyone feels sick, sicks is pretty big dont you think?
Whats the circumphrence of the world? How many tooth picks would it take to go the distance?
Have you measured dental floss to see if your getting your moneys worth?
Why doesnt your head light up when feeling lighted headed?
What if at the exact moment you jumped into the air the earth lost its gravitational pull, how far would you go?
If your knees bent the other way would we have back pockets?
Food for thought............how does it taste?

Pillsbury dough boy dead at 71
Subject: Pillsbury Dough Boy dead at 71
Date: 2/18/99 9:53 p.m.
Veteran Pillsbury spokesman, Pop N. Fresh, died yesterday of a severe yeast infection. He was 71.
Fresh was buried in one of the largest funeral ceremonies in recent years. Dozens of celebrities turned out, including Mrs. Butterworth, The California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, and The Hostess Twinkies. The graveside was piled high with flours as longtime friend Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who 'never knew how much he was kneaded'. Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions.
Fresh is survived by his second wife. They have two children and one in the oven.
The funeral was held at 4:50 for about 20 minutes

Last week, I went to a furniture store to look for a decaffeinated coffee table. They couldn't help me.
For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier. I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.
I went to a general store but they wouldn't let me buy anything specific.
I bought some powdered water, but I didn't know what to add.
I put instant coffee in a microwave and almost went back in time.
I have an answering machine in my car. The message says 'I'm home now, but leave a message and I'll call when I'm out.'
I bought a house on a one-way dead-end road. I don't know how to get out.
I went to a restaurant that serves 'breakfast at any time'. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.
I have the world's largest collection of sea shells. I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world. Maybe you've seen some of it.
I photocopied a mirror. Now I have an extra photocopy machine

They won't let me keep them holed up in my room here at school, plus I don't think my roomate likes sleeping on the couch, not that he's allergic or anything.
I love them play on words, puns I believe they are called. We should think up some and post 'em here.
don't let it get too out of hand though.
