Thanks MM- I knew you would know, but I have to say that Ms. Nicholls fan dance was a catastrophic event in and of itself as well.
dittoburg- then we could have transparent aluminum foil- much more fashionable for those of us who want to fend off alien transmissions and look good doing it.
I think wasder and dittoburg are super duper posters and they’re both invited to our next party (along with 11217) as well as being invited into these kinds of threads when you miss them! I’ll bring the REM tunes – they’re a great band
cobblehiller–just trying to point out the inconsistencies in the What’s positions on a few things. and the balls thing is his. anyway, perhaps I should take a walk. thanks.
Wasder, uhm, I’m a little anxious reading your posts, take a nice walk outside, I’m starting to worry for you.
Star Trek 4 also came up with transparent aluminum (for the whale aquariums). I don’t know why they haven’t invented that yet.
Also, I will undertake to do what the Twat never does and that is to respond to his questions. I can see that 11217 asked the What a very reasonable question and What responded that he wanted his balls sucked (teabagging I guess?) before he would answer. So even though the what doesn’t play by the rules I will try to give my answers to his questions.
1. Do you think you made a wise decision buying in this climate? I DO THINK I MADE A WISE CHOICE BECAUSE THIS CLIMATE CAUSED THE PRICE OF THE HOUSE I BOUGHT TO FALL SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS THEREFORE BECOMING AFFORDABLE TO THE LIKES OF ME.
2. Do you think your “Investment” will appreciate in 2009?
I FEEL CERTAIN THAT MY INVESTMENT WILL DEPRECIATE IN 2009. I ANTICIPATE THAT WHEN I SELL, SAY IN 20-30 YEARS, IT WILL HAVE APPRECIATED.
3. Do you think you will be able to sell at a profit?
YES–SEE ABOVE.
4. Do you think you will be able to access capital in the future.
YES, ONCE YOU SUCK MY BALLS
Bxgrl, I think you are referring to “Mimic” with Mira Sorvino as the entemologist looking for the creatures that look like homeless men but are, in fact, giant roach mutants in the subway system. A NY classic.
Star Trek 4 was the whales movie. 5 was the one Shatner directed, best known for the fan dance performed by Ms “Uhuru” Nichols, who should have known better.
As always, a font of information. 🙂
Oh my goodness how did I miss this thread? What’s greatest (or at least latest hits). Still missing your day counter What–its at 83 now. I am keeping track.
Biff–you are right, the What is a super excellent foil–just idiotic and reactionary to provide laughs and persistent enough to keep coming back for more abuse.
REM has a nice quote for this thread: “Its the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.”
the Birds
That Laura Dern movie about genetically altered bugs (ugh. uck uck) can’t remember the name but did someone else post this one?
Star trek 5 (?) where they save the whales to save the world
The Bees
The devil’s Rain (2- count em! 2 William Shatner movies)
