Well you can mention John Cleese,, but whatever you do don't mention the war.
I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.

Hey CSXeng98 [8D]

Don't forget John Cleese. I am a big J C fan. Heck, I even liked his Magnavox commercials, Smart, Very Smart. [:D] [:D]

And how can we discuss John Cleese and not mention, (drum roll please) . . .

Here's one that came from a friend of ours: wanted to share it with
all of you. It's from a forum friend:

Noah 2005

In the year 2005, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the United
States, and said, "Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-
populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and
save two of every living thing along with a few good humans."

He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, "You have six months to build the Ark
before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights".

Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his
yard...but no ark.

"Noah," He roared, "I'm about to start the rain. Where is the Ark?"

"Forgive me, Lord, " begged Noah. "But things have changed. I needed a
building permit. I've been arguing with the inspector about the need for a
sprinkler system. My neighbors claim that I've violated the neighborhood
zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height limita-
tions. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision. Then
the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future
costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the
passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I argued that the sea would be coming
to us, but they would hear nothing of it.

Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local
trees in order to save the spotted owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists
that I needed the wood to save the owls. But no go!

Since I started gathering the animals, I got sued by an animal rights group.
They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. As well,
they argued the accommodation was too restrictive and it was cruel and
inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space.

Then the EPA ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an
environmental impact study on your proposed flood.

I'm still trying to resolve acomplaint with the Human Rights Commission on
how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew.

Also, the trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire
only Union workers with Ark building experience.

To make matters worse, the IRS seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave
the country illegally with endangered species.

So forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least ten years for me to finish
this Ark.

Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched
across the sky.

Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean, You're not going to
destroy the world?"

"No, " said the Lord. "The government beat me to it."

Some punk tried to bust everyone in the chops, and it backfired on him. Your supposed to pull the pin Right before you through it! not fancy it as a ring when it's in your pocket.

I supposed I should laugh somewhat: I like to kid around quite abit. This thread made me laugh a fair amount, which is good. If yopu can't laugh, you sure as darn won't like me.

I keep hearing Terrist beiung thown around. To a french person like myself Terrorist means nothing more then "Kangaroo's pouch"

Thats just purely funny.

I like seeing people slamming other people down, then it blows up in their face. Actually I like it when anyones plan backfires on them, Like When I tried to open an ice cream parlor:

me: and yes we have 4 flavors of ice cream... Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and people.

X: what was that last one?

me:..uhh... Chocolate?

SO not everything works out, and it is funny when it doesn't.

SO I can't rememebr what I was saying.. so.. uh...

I'll just end it here.


Is it just me or has Kev's spelling and grammer really improved over the last few months.

I only counted 4 spelling errors and no real grammatical errors.

Good job Kevin!!! [:p][;)][:p][:D]

Still, I'd rather have a modern day Evangelical Fundamentalist argue with me than the modern Islamic version of Torquamada and his auto de fe's. Even if he/she blows himself up along me.

We will all have to learn to get along with each other eventually. Then the Planet might survive. And a bit of humor does help!

Just being honest, bt it really doesn't bother me when people pressure me for my views, I'll share my views with anyone.

it's when they pressure me to accept their views, because they have dewtermined that mine are wrong, that it gets irritating.

yes, I'm talking about the evangelical bit.... The ones who, having been "saved" are determined to share their special relationship with god with everyone around them.... THAT is the part that suxxors about the fanatics.

And then lets not forget "Frankenchrist", that mythical assembly of legend than has congealed over the years, as ever more sects have split off from the core of christianity due to differences of opinion, and found it necessary to personalize their share of the holy trinity..just to give their separatist pursuit legitimacy...
