1200 - THINGS I WISH I HAD KNOWN BEFORE
I WENT OUT INTO THE REAL WORLD......

tips for a healthy relationship....

When wife/partner/bint (hereinafter defined as "better half") asks if she looks fat, dont say "compared to what?"

Dont compliment better half on cellulite....

Dont suggest better half dresses up as Liz Hurley or Britney Spears for you...

If better half does dress up as Britney Spears, dont say she looks more like Brittany Ferries

Always be willing to pay for shopping

Always be gallant and always be a gentleman

Known Fact:
A fool and his money are soon partted.
Question:
How did a fool and his money ever get together?

Growltigga · #**1203** June 19th, 2002, 02:02 PM

he probably inherited it from someone clever....

hmmm... a fool and his money are soon parted..... does this explain why you are so broke?

Gryphin · #**1204** June 19th, 2002, 02:12 PM

Figures, Tigga interprets my confessed inabilty to Pay Attention for me being financialy broke.

I am not a fool, however
"Some say I'm crazy, but it keeps me from going insane"

Then again, some have questioned the wisdom of exchanging barbs with admitted soliciters.

Growltigga · #**1205** June 19th, 2002, 02:15 PM

never try and exchange banter and barbs with Solicitors of the Supreme Court

It is a bit like entering an arse-kicking contest with a porcupine...

You will always lose old boy...

We never thought you were crazy, loco or insane, just weird

That Nigerian scam has been around for the past 5 years. Its been on the tv and in the newspapers warning everyone not to get fooled by it. The FBI and other agencies have been looking into it for years. I even remember one of the local radio persona's called them on the air and got the round around from the other side.
It is unbelievable how naive some people are when it comes to money.... If they want to give away their money then I recommend "The Mac Retirement Fund or Deserving Mac Foundation. Now those 2 orgs suuuurrreee could use any money people are willing to throw away.....

aahhmmmm by the way in case you didn't read the papers, USA best Mexico and continue foreward into the harsh unknown....

UUU SSS AAAA
UUU SSS AAaa

"Wierd!"?!?
You callin me "Wierd"?

Why thank you, I am honored. You are far to kind noble Kat.

Gryphin, 'weird' obviously has a less derisory and uncomplementary meaning in north america than it does on the more civilised side of the "pond" -In Europe, being "weird" is not a good thing, unless you are Belgian or German...

Mac, the USA football team are not going forward into the harsh unknown, they are going forward to face the Germans who, I might add, will beat them...

then keep in mind that England beat Germany 5-1 not so long ago so it tells you where the USA team really stands in the world..

does anyone speak Japanese by the way? someone called me something that sounds like "uri-na-docha" earlier on this afternoon and I am sure it is not complementary

"Weird" has the usual meaning over here, but needless to say, a weird person would take pride in being weird. My observation is that the weird people are the ones who refuse to accept the status quo. Weird people are the ones that make progress. Normal people merely implement it. It takes a weird person to think outside the envelope. I will beat you in the Galactic Bash because you are normal. You will do what normal people do. You will be predictable. I will know what you will do, how you will do it, and when you will do it. As you know, predictability on the battlefield is fatal.

Growltigga · #**1210** June 19th, 2002, 03:18 PM

ahhh.. but that is an arrogant assumption that I am normal and that normal people behave in predictable ways... we dont and a mark of adaptability and intelligence is the ability to think outside the usual parameters.

Unpredictability is not a mark of weirdness. Wearing your underpants on your head, with 2 pencils stuck up each nostril and going "wibble" is a mark of weirdness

I am sure the pencils would look very fetching with your moustache
