Now that is a darned good question.

Can we please keep the posts on topic? It is rude to those of us who enjoy non-cohesive ramblings.

I've never believed Leon's far-fetched origin story of Net54.

Leon is demonstrating the three strike rule employed by the forum using three consecutive posts. In the case of Net54, the penalty is just a plain o’ jail. Don’t worry though, Leon knows where the back door is, and it’s not locked.

I think Leon should put himself in a corner for about 5 minutes, and think about what he just did.

For the last time...it only happened one time when I was in college. I wore a lab coat and carried a clipboard. I was clearly experimenting! Now can we please just move on?!

I don't know who you are, but I am so sorry for your loss! Everyone in your family must be devastated. Can I ask if he refused life saving treatment? Why? What kind of loser does that? Was it something I said? My uncles wife went through the exact same thing that you did, except he didn't have a rare blood disease passed to him by a squirrel, he burned his face off lighting a barbeque with gasoline. Did he at least try a holistic doctor? I could recommend a few in case you seriously want to change your life! It's too late for him, but maybe if he listened to us he, we wouldn't be feeling so awful. So grateful, my new shipment of essential oils have come in so we can just put all of this behind us. Contact me if you need a little sumptin, or want to be part of my laddertosuccess organization.

RIP whoever it was.

Default Tommy Kramer & me

Tommy Kramer autographed 25 Met Stadium seats for me today. I painted the wood purple and the standards and stands will be yellow.

For some reason I can't get the picture to upload properly.

Default Ouija Boards are not harmless games

Ok, I will admit that I am probably a Sensitive going back to seeing an old woman hanging in my Grandma's bedroom when I was 10. Landlord confirmed that his Grandma committed suicide in that bedroom.

In my 20's friend and I were playing around with a Ouija asking who we were going to marry. Spirit said it was Chief something or other. My friend was of Native Ancestry and thrilled with that. It sent chills up my spine hearing that. She asked "Chief" to show itself. Oh, NO, please do not do that.

On her sofa a "Gumby like" shadow like figure appeared. CHIEF? Hell, no. I am OUTTA here. This figure not only stayed in her apartment, but followed her where ever she went. Why didn't it follow me?? I never invited it in and show itself.

Friend had to go to a Priest to get an Exorcism to get rid of it from herself and her apartment. Ouija is not a harmless game.

EDIT: Sorry wrong forum

It's always a shock to me when I see a current picture of a player who was on cards that I collected as a kid, in my mind they are perpetually the young man in their prime as they are pictured on the card.

Hijack Man Here.

I was just rifling thru these posts and have decided to say 'UNCLE'

That's U.N.C.L.E.

(and, Yes, the blonde is the guy from N.C.I.S.)

Best Groucho Marx quotes:

I've had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it.

Women should be obscene and not heard.

A man is only as old as the woman he feels.

No man goes before his time - unless the boss leaves early.

The other day, I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got there, I'll never know.

At the Circus, Groucho as Loophole:

Whitcomb : Pardon me, Madame, but here are the seating arrangements for your final approval.

Mrs. Suzanna Dukesbury : Oh, no, Whitcomb. Judge Chinner will sit on my left hand and you

[turning to look at Loophole]

Mrs. Suzanna Dukesbury : will sit on my right hand.

J. Cheever Loophole : How will you eat? Through a tube?
