Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Quote from calamitybob :
I never got a bike as a kid and the last time I rode one was in 1958 (one-speed, push the pedal back to brake). In anticipation of the Fuji bike's arrival I've -

-viewed dozens of bike assembly videos on YouTube
-bought the wrenches and allen keys I think I'll need
-bought a helmet, hydration backpack, air pump, lubricants, bike stand to hold it upright in the living room (only place I can store it)
-called an area bike shop for a quote on assembly and tuning (in case I botch it) - only $40

I just hope that after all of this, after ten minutes of huffing and puffing on the bike, I don't end up wishing that I had called Marlboro to switch to the netbook pc. EEK!
Now that was a good story,,,was able to visulize all the way diwn to the huffing and puffing,,,esp for a smoker,,,,good luck to you

First of all, Count the 2 f's in the words "of"..It's a common mistake..

THERE ARE 6 -- The reasoning :

The brain cannot process "OF".

Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.


Three is normal, four is quite rare.

Quote from scaaty :
we have been brewing our own beer for a while, I do agree, home brew is better, it doesnt have the chemicals that give you the headache. tastes much better also. just dont know which I prefer, home brew beer or wine. we have all types of fruit trees in the yard, when the fruit started ripening, we ran out of people who wanted fruit, so rather than composting, we decided to make wine. well, we have been for a long time, rather dry, but strong. my favorite is eldeberry. cherry should be able to make this year. I feel like we live in a distillery. EEK!
