All 3/15 of inch of it? Just used your litter box scoop, did ya?

Lets just say it picked up a tad during the late afternoon. Last I saw my car, it was up to the doors. I can only assume that its a bit deeper now.

On a slightly different note, it would be somewhat strange for me to own a litter box scoop, or, indeed a litter box, as I do not own a cat.

American houses don't tend to last too long in general...

My point about early Florida houses was that there were not that many people in Florida in 1918.

If they dont curb the gator population, there wont be that many people there in 2018 either.

A lot of development has been the reason a lot of those older homes have been torn down.

Let's tear it down and build a car park here.

Anyhoo, I think I shall continue my Mel Brooks-related mayhem tonight. Young Frankenstein yesterday, so tonight the choices are The Producers, Silent Movie, High Anxiety, Spaceballs or Blazing Saddles.

Bungee tithe. Watching 2010 with the kids.

What does that mean and why would you subject your kids to 2010.

And also, sometime my subs do not hit everything they aim at.

And I have noticed that if I do not pay attention, then I can easily screw up the Jap. economy. Why should I be penalized for not reading the manual, planning properly, or checking on my dispositions ?

If I were hard working, intelligent, skilled, motivated, and funded I could have done a better job.

Edited: IMHO, You should post that in the Main forums

Because very many people on the main forums do not seem to have either a sense of humor, or an understanding of sarcasm . Unlike the Threadsters

Agreed, Stu. This is a wonderful place, and my true home on the internet.

After you got kicked out of the Joan Jett fan club?

It's the thought that counts.

Anyone reading this, Onime had the same idea as me, but I've got more time for reading message boards and posting links to transvestite comedians

The reason it sprang to mind was that I was watching that show whilst Mrs Dixie was in labour

Time to go outside with a shovel and use the experience to decide if I want to leave the house today for any pretense other than fire, the roof caving in or precipitation consisting of large amounts of US government currency.

Yep. I hate to see nice, older homes torn down just to slap in a Taco Bell. I understand how much money can be made at times for the family selling, but still....

My father grew up in a house built around 1900. It had solid plank walls, solid plank floors and ceilings ( which were an odd height , around 14 feet tall ) all covered in plaster, etc. I bet you could build and entire modern subdivision out of the lumber and stone that went into building that thing

You know, that is a good idea

Even if you just did it for a short game period, it could be pretty funny commenting either on the stupid things we do in our games, or what the AI would llike to be doinng iif it only could and so forth .

That was sort of the underlaying plan - to poke fun at "the idiot human"
