Re: Room 101

Post by Bighuey »

That bugs me too. Holding a door open for someone and a whole herd goes through. When I was a kid you never wore a hat in the house. It wasnt considered good manners. And you always made sure ladies were seated before a man sat down, and open car doors for ladies. I still do that, one woman I dated thought that was odd, no one ever did that for her before. Its just common courtesy, good manners are important. And unruly kids, that also bugs me. Some of those little bastards need a good dose of dicipline over a knee with a paddle.

Just why does it hurt so much? I've had a few injuries over time but stubbing your toe really really hurts.....easing off a bit now though. :wink:

If you stub your toe, anything goes. You're allowed to:
1. Animate inanimate objects.
2. Deny God's Existence.
3. Praise God's Ubiquity.
4. Eat aspirin like popcorn. With a Dewars chaser.
5. Beat the offending inanimate object with a 5 lb hammer.
Like I say, anything goes. I like option #5 best myself. That's why nearly every room in the Din household is
furnished with a 5 lb hammer. I like to think that the presence of The 5 Lb Hammer in a room serves as a reminder
to the Inanimate Objects in that room that Mr. Hammer is more than just a pretty face. Cuidado, Senor Martillo

A 5 lb. hammer is good. Ive also found a good heavy pair of steel-toed boots is very effective for kicking and stomping.

I kept stubbing my toe on the &%#$ vaccum cleaner until I got some smarts and moved the damn thing. I would have used steel-toed boots on it but it dosent belong to me.

Im flattered, Din. The father of white bread. Sad thing is, I dont even like white bread. Tastes too much like wallpaper paste.

Escucha bien, Ugito. In Mejico, the term "Pan Blanco" is used as a generic reference to bread produced in a
"maquiladora"(factory) and not locally. It's used mostly in restaurants that cater to turistas, for French toast,
sandwiches, garlic bread, etc. These restaurants use "Pan Blanco" cause its SLICED. And that's where you come in.

Cool. I Learn something new every day. It must be a lot different from this Bimbo bread they have around here. Horrible stuff, but good enough for tourists, I suppose.

It is Bimbo bread. Bimbo and Blanco are the same bread.

Bimbo has a multi-grain that isnt too bad, but its not the best. I get bread from a local bakery. Its a little pricey, but a whole lot better.

Not many blondes around here, Fran. Lots of Bimbos, but not many blondes.

I wish I could remember that song, when I was a kid I used to hear it all the time, but I dont remember the name or the artist. There was another silly song that came out about that same time, something about a ruptured duck. I forgot the name, but the group was Cactus Pryor and his Prickly Pears.

If the baker was blonde, then you'd call the bread "OK"(Not really good, but not really baaaaaaad). If the baker was
a sly coquette beseiged with gifts and furtive promises of "amor" from an unrequitted public, you'd call the bread
"A World Class Bimbo." Hope this provides a measure of clarity.
