The Official Derail Thread - Open Discussion About Anything - Let See Where It Goes!

[Rborist1]

Bring it!

[Bermy]

Some people's avatars are disturbing, is there a 'blank' button so we don't have to see them...
Borat's crack is one...

[Rborist1]

Who is Borat?

[Skwerl]

My last bowel movement was of a disturbing consistency and color.

[Rborist1]

This is one time that pics are not needed.

Your thinking is far to simplistic. Life is a lot more complex than that. If what you said was true, countries with strong social welfare systems would collapse all the time. Last time I checked, the biggest capitalist economy in the world was looking distinctly wobbly.
Well all the countries mentioned, like Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Austria, Australia, Canada, Netherlands, UK, have very strong social welfare state systems in place - And most of them are doing extremely well. Sure, you will always have freeloaders on the system. But they are a tiny fraction of a percent of most of these countries GDP.
The real freeloaders on the system are the massive corporations that get huge bailouts, subsidies, assistance and tax reliefs.

But seriously. I imagine that I am unlikely to change your mind on this. And as this is a serious derail, I'm not going to discuss it here any longer.

Let the discussion begin.......

Don't you mean fowl?

[CurSedVoyce]

[Old Monkey]

I always examine the pot after a sit for portents of the future. I am starting my own school of divination, fecal prognostication. Omens of the future lurk in the dankest recesses.

[canadiantreeman]

bwahah!

[CurSedVoyce]

Damn near signature material right there!

[SoonerFan]

T.V. commercials are too LOUD! (when compared to the volume of the show being watched).

[CurSedVoyce]

Sorta like cheer leaders and small children.

[SoonerFan]

i like my cheerleaders.

[CurSedVoyce]

I probably would too:evil:

[woodworkingboy]

My wife is always chiding me for being naked in front of the window with the curtains open. I tell her that until she wipes off the condensation, there is no concern....and even after. Women tend to worry about things like that for some reason.

[CurSedVoyce]

Right now the noise level is in commercial form here. Lilly has been sent to bed, would not finish her dinner and did not get any ice cream... WHOA... I guess I am now aware of her opinion on that.

[Skwerl]

Testing her boundaries, I see.

Can I have her ice cream?

[NeTree]

There are 25.4 millimeters to the inch.

[SoonerFan]

Who cares? :lol::lol::lol:

[woodworkingboy]

There are 25.4 millimeters to the inch.

If it makes you feel better.

[Old Monkey]

Who needs Viagra when we have metric system?

[NeTree]

Well, I thought this was the DERAIL thread. :lol:

[CurSedVoyce]

Thrifty's Chocolate Brownie Ice cream... Chocolate syrup with that ?
I still have at least an 8oz, or 236.58824 ml, or 226.8 kg :)

[Paul B]

[Old Monkey]

Smacked my nose opening a cupboard this evening and drew blood. I swear I need to wear my Petzl 24/7.

[MasterBlaster]

I've never worn mine on my face. Interesting.

226,8Kg! :O
That is almost 1/4 ton, not bad! How many inces is that?
Hahaha

236.58824 milliliter = 2,36 deciliter = 0,2366 Liter = 0,0002366 cubic meters

[Tree Reb]

He meant grams not kgs. 8 ounces = 226.796185 grams

Some itchy bug bit me on the neck and nose, big lumps. I can stop myself scratching but I think I'm going cross eyed.:wack:

[woodworkingboy]

We have an idiot living in proximity to my shop. Three of my tires were punctured when I went to drive home tonight. It has happened before and to some of the neighbors as well. Love to catch whoever it is, but it is difficult to do. The culprit works at night in the dark.

[MasterBlaster]

Cowards.

[flushcut]

I have a wood chipper, will travel.

You could cut your nose off just to spite your face!
Then you wouldn't have to worry about hitting it.

[CurSedVoyce]

HAHAHA... I obviously had a mathematical error....
Or the stupid on line calculator did :lol:

[Magnus]

I really like chainsaws!

Collecting, working on them, selling, the hole shabang! Wonderful things happen as soon as you start.
But you must pray to the saw gods... Yes Plural!
