In Shrewsbury in 1776, seven Welshmen were killed, three by musket, three by sword and one was bludgeoned to death with his own crops.

Being bludgeoned to death by a Leek must be eternally embarrassing.

Hmm.. waking up with a hard on would be something only guys would have I guess.

Siaf,

The early morning hardon is called a "EMHO" for obvious reasons.

So, refer to it as such so it will confuse your wife/GF or what have you.

Ma'am, I just gotta pee, and stop calling me Echo Mike.

One rule I've made is I never never lend anyone a video, be it DVD or VHS unless I'm prepared to write it off completely. I've had friends pop over, see the DVD stack and plead to borrow it...and a year later, Im still waiting to get those movies back.

Another...never offer an old PC to a friend. Throw it away or prepare to be free tech support forever.

That's so true LePaul.

Remember the old days when you used to have VHS tapes only?

When you borrowed something, you always had to ensure the other didn't have a 'killer-vcr' like we used to call it.

Old VCRs could eat up and chop your tapes completely. The viewer could watch it normally but leave the tape totally destroyed.

When I was in the army I borrowed a tape from a friend in another garrison. I had it in my open bag, stooped me. Since it was pr0n the guys stuck the tape immediately to the _ancient_ vcr that was in the corner of the kitchen area of the garrison and watched it.

When I returned the tape I noticed the inside of the cassette was filled with metal particles from the tape. It was like confetti all over.

I realised immediately what the guys had done, but had no option except return the tape. The guy I borrowed it from never forgave me.

It was not my fault!!!

"If you jump it, you pack it". So f*ing tired of student whuffos who come in, make their Brag Jump(tm), ditch the gear and expect someone else (namely ME) to clear up their mess.

Can be transferred to general life. I'll lend just about anything to friends, but with expensive items, I expect them to come back to me as good as they were or better.

Same's true if I borrow something.

Gifts are gifts. They're not a form of checks that can be cashed in at a later point. Once given, they ain't mine anymore, and whatever is done with 'em by the receiver is none of my business.

If you do someone a favour and expect some kind of payment (be it gratitude or another form of compensation), you're not doing that dude a favour - you're making a business transaction.

Ice on the swoop pond is not an excuse for not giving someone his certificate/100jump/500jump/1000 jump/5000 jump swimming lesson. That's why we got axes. Or aviation fuel, if the pond is frozen through

Nevermind.

What would be meant as a joke could easily be taken wrong or seen to be insensitive.

If we knew each other IRL you would know me. And know that such comments coming from me would be meant as nothing more then humor and not intended to be hurtful in any way
You would probably chuckle while you called me an A-hole.
I'd laugh, You'd laugh and that would be the end of it.

Here its different. Few people here really KNOW one another other then from the rantings that appear here and with online text it is all too easy to take something out of context.

I retract my comment. forget I said anything.
