Plan B Forum

Thanks for that Joe, I've taken the blooper out of my link now as well.

Cheers mate!

I have a nephew who lives in those hills, and the roads are definitely twisty and windy. Didn't notice any staircases, but then they are hidden. We have staircases like that in the Portland hills, one right by me goes 300 feet down to the river. No glamorous stars here, though.

Apart from your good self that is...

No, no, no, no, no, not "Bank Manager," it's far too crawly bum-lick. Tell it like it is, put "Fascist Bullyboy!"

Dear facist bullyboy, Give me some more money, you bastard...bombshanka. May the seed of your loin be fruitfull in the belly of your wooomuuunn.

What off topic path has this thread taken? Please 'splain Lucy, I have no clue.

I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again: "If you're going to be that sycophantic, why don't you go 'round there now and stick your tongue straight down the back of his trousers?"

and

He'll never understand "Boom Shanka," you'll have to write the whole thing out.
Right, okay, here we go. "Darling Fascist Bullyboy, Give me some more money, you bastard. May the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman, Neil."

oldr - shouldn't that be "Please 'spain, Rucy?"

This is one of the things I like about this place...

Occasionally I learn something new, and I love learning new things...

I was completely unfamiliar with this bit of LA history; nice article.

Would have been a cool place to grow up. Playing hide n seek on all those stairs. Of course kids don't play outside anymore, video games are the rave.

Can we get you a part in this show?

I could write and star in that show.
I was just lamenting the other day how when I moved to my current domicile 28 years ago, the main road through town was only two lanes (one in each direction) and there were just two traffic lights in the mile long span. Now it's four lanes with wide shoulders and there are 5 traffic lights (3 in between the original 2) and how if you time it incorrectly, it take you over 5 minutes to go that mile.

When did underpants become a fashion statement? pull your pants up dickweed

It's 85 degrees out, what's with wearing a sweatshirt with the hood pulled up?

Your a middle class white kid, stop trying to be a gangster.

And it's spelled G-A-N-G-S-T-E-R not G-A-N-G-S-T-A

And don't any of these so called "stars" have last names?

When did it become "fashionable" to wear pajamas out and about?

I have yet to meet a housewife like any of the "Real Houswives of.......". Not one.

There were no "play dates" when I was growing up. You went to the other kids house, knocked on the door and asked if he wanted to come out and do something (play ball, build a fort, wander around aimlessly, etc)
You dated when you were in your teens (if you were lucky, you got to "play" with your date)

When did underpants become a fashion statement? pull your pants up dickweed

That reminds me of something I heard PJ O'Rourke say in a radio interview a few years ago when he was asked if he had any advice for "young people". He said :

"Yes. Pull your pants up, turn your cap around, and get a job."...

Shorter oldr: "Hey you kids, get off my lawn!"

When I was a kid I am reasonably certain that if you walked down the street with your underware exposed a fine would be the result.

A fine? For what? Hell, in a world that permitted plumbers--even those who worked on outside spigots and sprinklers--I doubt that would be the case. How bad was seeing an underwear waistband compared to a plumber's waxing crescent or--worse--full moon?

I don't think a fine would be the penalty but a wedgie was definately coming.

I thought he was fixing the Norge?
