Re: A Thread for Random Videos I love the sound of paintball guns in the morning.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Texas State Wildlife and Game Department Yet more shocking revelations came to light today regarding last weekend's hunting 'accident' in Texas. Officials at the Texas State Wildlife and Game Department revealed that Vice President Dick Cheney violated established State hunting laws when he shot Mr. Harry Whittington. As Wildlife Ranger John Burton explained - "We got nothin' against huntin' lawyers around here - hell, I've bagged a few myself. And Mr. Huntington's age made him a prime candidate for herd-thinning: he's 78 and way past his prime. But Huntington is a TAX lawyer, and you ain't allowed to take tax lawyers until May 1st." In 1987, in an agreement reached with the Texas Bar Association, the Wildlife & Game Dept. established a series of laws regulating the hunting of lawyers. "You have to understand," said the Chairman of the TBA, "if we don't thin 'em out then they overpopulate their egosystem. Next thing you know, there aren't enough cases to go around. Young lawyers starve, or clog up the court-houses and television trying to drum up clients. It just messes things up. But we also didn't want indiscriminant slaughter, so we got together with the Wildlife boys and set up a few rules." These rules include the following: 1) Only lawyers above the age of 64 and personal-injury attorneys may be taken, with a limit of two per hunter per year. Muzzle-loader hunters are allowed three, bow-hunters are restricted to four. 2) Only female lawyers above child-bearing age may be shot, even personal-injury attorneys. 3) Tax lawyer hunting season is the only time restriction, with the season running from May 1st to December 12th. "Of course, the usual standard hunting rules apply: no setting up lawyer-stands within a 10-mile radius of a courthouse, no money-licks, and no shooting 'em when they're seated," said Ranger Burton. "We Texans are hunters, pure and simple - there's nothing like bagging a 67 year-old corporate merger attorney at 200 yards with a compound bow. But you have to have standards, and you have to play by the rules and give 'em a fighting chance." The Vice President will more than likely receive a fine of $10,000, and may even be required to perform a few hours of community service. "I know that seems sorta harsh for just nailing a really old one with some bird-shot, but me and a few others suspect that this was what we call a 'canned hunt' - the Vice President invited the lawyer along. It ain't illegal per se, but a canned hunt is just plain wrong, and an insult to all of us who hunt lawyer the proper way." When asked for comment, White House Spokesman Scott McClelland confirmed that "Vice President Cheney did indeed pull the trigger which activated the primer which detonated, which caused a rapid formation of gas which pushed the shell which sent the pellets flying in the general direction of the lawyer. But he didn't know about that tax-lawyer loophole."

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Thanks! :thumbup: Consider it put to good use.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Would you or DT mind if I borrowed this pic for a 3 Musketeers game that I'm currently running? It would be perfect for the visiting Cardinal that the players have to save.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Thanks!

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Hehe... I was right!

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I have only seen it hail here a handful of times since I've been here (1979), and that one has to be the most impressive I've ever seen. BTW, it is currently 63 degrees outside and sunny. Freaky California weather...

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER So what do I have to talk about these days? Nothing.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Her force field holds it in place.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER That sounds like the plot for a movie... Oh yay, they did it in Transporter II.

Re: "Neat" Pictures Perhaps the aliens picked it up thinking it was really someone inside.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER And if that one didn't make you chuckle this one will. Desired Salary Range Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked the young MBA fresh out of MIT, "And what starting salary were you looking for?" The candidate said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The HR Person said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a red Corvette?" The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow!!! Are you kidding?" And the HR Person said, "Certainly, ...but you started it."

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER That isn't sex. That is called m@sturb@tion. Unless you are defining sex as "The sexual urge or instinct as it manifests itself in behavior", and even then you are pushing the definition based on what they are talking about. Nope words aren't important at all... Also, why would they be surprised? Apparently they weren't around for late night "phone chat" in the 80s and 90s. Oh, and yea, that shouldn't be news worthy.
