  • There needs to be a Mabufilter. This is just tremendous. It seems as though no effort is made to attempt clothing of the future. That certainly adds to the charm. And I remember when I was a kid in the 70's that my brother and sister had some roller skates that looked very similar to the "car shoes." They were metal and flat, with some sort of strap that came over the top. They were sort of like metal sandals on wheels. Great post.
  • Sorry to say... Slice of banana bread here.
  • Glass and a half of milk.
  • I feel like my orgasm has been minimized.
  • Once bitten twice shy, eh?
  • arse
  • OK, I'll just have to post something about goats.
  • Back to the future, eh?
  • "French prints from 1920 which depict a world run by goats in 2010."
  • I missed the first FPP and was VERY happy that I clicked on this link.
  • Is that Kirk Cameron and Emilio Estevez?
  • Talk Like a Pirate Day is next week. *ahem* Mi mi mi mi miiiiiii *cough* Yeeharr my mateys . . *ahem* Yeearr muh ma- wait . . Yarr . . yeah . . Yarrr my mateys!
  • "Do not dance with the bears."
  • Ah-C'mon nah! Do the Bear! (Doot doot dee doo!) Ah Do the Sloth! (Doot doot dee doo!) Do the Squeee! (Doot doot dee doo!) Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
  • I am so tired of Merv Griffin pictures.
  • bernockle, I had those metal roller skates in the 70s
  • bernockle, I had those metal roller skates in the 70s Reason #2583 why I have to perform insertus vaganalus on Medusa.
  • That's gotta be some bar exam.
  • I had those skates in the 80's. Please, no Latin.
  • is that going to involve putting things in my butt? /runs away
  • Now now, it's all nice and legal. Or so I'm told.
  • /monocle queef
  • You guys are in so much trouble when Gramma gets here.
  • So, what, now, the future is gonna be all French roller-skating bears makin' whoopee in Latin?
  • I'm pretty sure Medusa doesn't need another vaganalus inserted, but nice to have a spare, I guess.
  • thank you fish tick! I was kind of afraid. and I even speak Latin!
  • Well, I'm a bit of a vagan myself, you know.
  • But what about the snails?
  • Bernockle, I've been meaning to ask you. I've had this idea for a while. See, when I'm walking out of the grocery store, there's always some idiot who zooms his or her car right through the pedestrian walk, almost running me and my groceries down. Every time this happens, I have this mad urge to just let go of my cart and let it mess up the front of whatever SUV is bearing down on me (keeping myself back, but close enough so they think they missed me by a hair), as well as wreck my groceries and scare the hell out of the driver. I think maybe then he or she will think twice about roaring through the pedestrian walk. Now, if I do this (and one of these days, I just will, without even thinking), and I need a lawyer to sue for mental trauma, as well as the cost of my Boca Burgers, would your fast-food law experience be of any help to me?
  • The snails are not vagan due to the beaver cheese.
  • My experience would certainly be of help to you. I would not take a dime from you until you have paid me. I would charge you a nominal flat-fee, plus 103% of any settlement or jury award that you would receive. What could you expect as a result? You could expect that I would be able to get the court to order that the SUV guy not be allowed to drive forward in public parking lots ever again. I also should be able to get you one month's supply of Boca Burgers (or the equivalent) at a ten percent discount.
  • *bangs gavel*
  • re: Fuji-Q is a bear habitat. There are bears all over the place. If you see a bear - do NOT attempt to wrestle the bear do NOT attempt to tackle the bear.
  • *door slams back against the wall GramMa's here!! *looks around, shrugs, fastens metal roller skates she had as a kid, zooms away
  • See, that pisses me off, because whenever I see a bear, I fucking go headlong & flying tackle the hairy plantigrade bastard, straight up. This is what I do, people, & I don't question it. I don't appreciate being prevented tackling and/or wrestling bears just because of some fruity sign. I tend to use the older, more graceful forms of Kung Fu, rather than Karate or Judo which are less fluid. I go for the testicles. Or, if absent, eyes.
  • Oh Fuji-Q ...
  • I broke my hip roller-skating. The lasting effects are occasional aches, stiffness, and premature fist-shaking-at-you-damn-reckless-kids.
  • I love the way you growl I love the way you scowl! I love the way you growl, I love the way you scowl Fuji-Q
  • Yay! *puts on helmet and knee pads* *heads for grocery store*
  • Oh...I thought you said Fresh Prince. Never mind.
  • Ahh, you people are just sooo old-fashioned. *sips beverage, starts up engine and peels out on cooler*
  • Ooh, Swish! 1930's newsreel predicts Women's Fashions Of The Year 2000.
  • Why isn't my husband outfitted in a utility suit? I've been carrying my own stuff around like a sucker!
  • He can even carry fresh eggs in his hat!
  • "Oooooh, swish!" That's my new catchphrase. I'll use it like "Awwww, snap!" So they weren't far off on the man of 2000 being fitted with a telephone and a radio, although they did apparently envision the phone as a huge, circular-dialed black wall phone.
  • And in the year 2000 we ladies were all supposed to have French maids. Not fair--I didn't get one! Women were to wear impractical and cumbersome outfits, while men got nifty baggy pants with utility belts and hats that could transmit to outer space. SO. NOT. FAIR.
  • Ahem, they're called "Freedom Servants."
