Re: Caption This for 2/16/2018

02/16/2018 6:05 PM

took my dad to the mall once to get him new shoes (he is 66). We decided to grab a bite at the food court. I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him… the teenager had spiked hair in all different colors — blue, red, green and orange.

My dad kept staring at her. The teenager would keep looking and my dad would be staring every time. When the teenager had had enough, she sarcastically asked, “Whats the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?”

Knowing my dad, I quickly swallowed my food so I wouldn’t choke on his response — I knew he would have a good one.

In classic style he responded without batting an eyelid: “Got stoned once and phuc#t a parrot. Just wondering if you were my daughter.”

Don't you mean the one that hated George W. Bush? I even remember that!

But I have no reason to doubt you. I have no doubt she hasn't changed her socialist views.

Hermaphroditic Antennae Have Contentious Honeymoon !

If you'll notice, both these Aerial's have Yagi's (and corner reflectors) just like earthworms. As far as the honeymoon: there used to be a limerick which concluded, "They argued the night, over who had the right, to take what and do which unto whom." Seeking an annulment the next morning as many identically matched as opposed to complementarily matched couples do, these two seem to have difficulty with trapped asset disentanglement. Their E-vectors and H-vectors may require surgical, mechanical, electrical, as well as legal separation and the reputations of their Poynting vectors will, in all probability, never fully recover their original plane polarizations. Arguments to the contrary will all result in circular polarizations thus attenuating the S/N on their Yagi's. Their unintended and unexpected offSPRING will certainly be Beverages. Once they propagate those Beverages they will be able to slowly wave as they try to check out but they will never be able to leave "Heavyside's Hotel California" neither in the near field nor in the far field.

This is off topic, but what I thought was somewhat humorous... when you connect to your internet,... you see all you neighbors WiFi available such as... The Olsen Household, Jenna Smith, The Robinson Clan, and so on...

One is to ID your router as “FBI Surveillance Van #3”, and then to visit your neighbors at the end of the week to catch up on the latest.

somebody marked me OT for referring to a running gag around here (not by me) with a picture of Bill Clinton and a caption reading "I'd tap that"?

OK, but
