The Grand 3K Experiment
Edited by Jun 18, 2002 9:44 am
It has been said that there is a 3,000 post limit per discussion thread. So what happens when you reach that limit? Does it explode, spraying giant prehistoric zucchini everywhere? Enquiring minds want to know. Therefore this thread is dedicated to finding out. As a means of reaching the lofty goal of 3,000 posts, each poster can post ONE word per post. Collectively, we can see if we can construct sentences in this ridiculous fashion. So post now, and post often. Note that if you really do want to post more than one word in a row, you can. Just do it in separate posts.
Side note: If this works, it's bound to loft us well past those wacky Michigan boaters. I'll start us off.

Haha!!! good one! am off to play a tennis match. i am wearing my official "BRAT" t-shirt. she is a dinkmeister. i hate those. i...shall...kick...butt... talk to y'all later!

Wait, don't go!!! What's a dinkmeister?!!!!!
I think it's German for, "holder of the penis".
But I could be wrong...
- Nov 23, 2002 3:15 pm (#2629 of 2911)
Hard to play tennis while holding a penis. Of course, MacEnroe did a pretty good job of it.
Never tried that.
Tennis, I mean...
mac WAS a penis, rina. but he was great and did lots to make the sport less stuffy.
a dinkmeister is a little energizer bunny wannabe who always runs every shot down and gets it back and has very little pace on the ball, prompting "seek-and-destroy" types like me to think suicidal thoughts out of sheer exasperation. however, i did win my match in the end (barely) and now i hurteth badly.
signed, "gimp"
Congrats Caile, and good job on that last limerick very artfully done.

ok here is my nightclub pain story. my fiance and i were at an underground nightclub in st. catherine, canada. it was a goth/fetish thing and um, the highlight of the evening was on stage where these two dudes had meat hooks embedded in their backs at each of their shoulder blades. then they had a tug-of-war thing with them facing the opposite direction, trying to pull the other one across the line with the meathooks attached to cords. actually, by the end of it, one had dragged the other all around the perimeter of the club. it was one of the most disgusting club shows i've ever seen. the flogging part was kind of kewl, though. hehe

Dorothy: Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.
Toto: No kidding, dumbunny - I smell fresh man-blood. Got to be freakin' Canada, yo.
um, i think i scared everyone with this particular post, rina. hehe. BE AFRAID! I WEAR COLLARS (one is faux barbed wire) AND HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO BE LEASHED on occasion. However, I DO NOT enjoy pain. Ever. I am just open-minded (remember, i made myself into a sofa sandwich once) and the kink factor is kinda kewl. plus i like to shock my mother, which i do at every available opportunity. other times, i am very demure, upscale, sophisticated and proper. boy does that suck, so i can only do it for short periods of time. i even work in boxer briefs (with an optional shirt), which if worn at all is most likely to be of the spongebob squarepants variety. i defy normality, the establishment, and the tedious! be afraid. be very afraid.

More to fill up this thread:
Frank Lingua, president and CEO of Dissembling Associates, is the
nation's leading purveyor of buzzwords, catch phrases and cliches for
people too busy to speak plain English. Business Finance contributing
editor Dan Danbom interviewed Lingua in his New York City office.
Danbom: Is being a cliche expert a full-time job?
Lingua: Bottom line is I have a full plate 24/7.
Danbom: Is it hard to keep up with the seemingly endless supply of
clichis that spew from business?
Lingua: Some days, I don't have the bandwidth. It's like drinking
from a fire hydrant.
Danbom: So it's difficult?
Lingua: Harder than nailing Jell-O to the wall.
Danbom: Where do most cliches come from?
Lingua: Stakeholders push the envelope until it's outside the box.
Danbom: How do you track them once they've been coined?
Lingua: It's like herding cats.
Danbom: Can you predict whether a phrase is going to become a cliche?
Lingua: Yes. I skate to where the puck's going to be. Because if you
aren't the lead dog, you're not providing a customer-centric
proactive solution.
Danbom: Give us a new buzzword that we'll be hearing ad nauseam.
Lingua: "Enronitis" could be a next-generation player.
Danbom: Do people understand your role as a cliche expert?
Lingua: No, they can't get their arms around that. But they aren't
incented to.
Danbom: How do people know you're a cliche expert?
Lingua: I walk the walk and talk the talk.
Danbom: Did incomprehensibility come naturally to you?
Lingua: I wasn't wired that way, but it became mission-critical as I
strategically focused on my go-forward plan.
Danbom: What did you do to develop this talent?
Lingua: It's not rocket science. It's not brain surgery. When you
drill down to the granular level, it's just basic blocking and
tackling.
Danbom: How do you know if you're successful in your work?
Lingua: At the end of the day, it's all about robust, world-class
language solutions.
Danbom: How do you stay ahead of others in the buzzword industry?
Lingua: Net-net, my value proposition is based on maximizing synergies
and being first to market with a leveraged, value-added deliverable.
That's the opportunity space on a level playing field.
Danbom: Does everyone in business eventually devolve into the sort of
mindless drivel you spout?
Lingua: If you walk like a duck and talk like a duck, you're a duck.
They all drink the Kool-Aid.
Danbom: Do you read "Dilbert" in the newspaper?
Lingua: My knowledge base is deselective of fiber media.
Danbom: Does that mean "no"?
Lingua: Negative.
Danbom: DOES THAT MEAN "NO"?
Lingua: Let's take your issues offline.
Danbom: NO, WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE MY "ISSUES" OFFLINE.
Lingua: You have a result-driven mind-set that isn't a strategic fit
with my game plan.
Danbom: I WANT TO PUSH YOUR FACE IN.
Lingua: Your call is very important to me.
Danbom: How can you live with yourself?
Lingua: I eat my own dog food. My vision is to monetize scalable
supply chains.
Danbom: When are you going to quit this?
Lingua: I may eventually exit the business to pursue other career
opportunities.

FTC rules
My cat is named Felix.
BTW: My cat's breath smells like cat food.
I don't have a cat.
I wish I was a cat, except for the whole bad breath thing
Me too, I thoroughly enjoy lying around on the couch all day. About the breath though..if you were a cat, I don't think you would mind. My cat seems to be proud of his breath.
Good point, but I would have to do something about the food. My cats seem rather eager to gulp down that mess but I think I would prefer to be fed from the table. That or I would have to hunt for my food, a little exercise to keep me in shape.
The true benefit of cathood is the 5-6 naps per day, minimum. That and all the massages I want. puurrrrrrrrrrrrr
F*ckin' meow.

Dang. Here kitty kitty kitty.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Cats make great coyote food. The whole "circle of life" thing. Disney approved.
One important negative of being a cat would be Not getting to use the toilet paper. I think the cat method of cleaning up after the litterbox could go a long way to explain the bad breath.

It's been an amazing time for reflection. I did fine until I heard her 3 year old sister running around their family home the next day asking "Where the baby? Where the baby?" and it dawned on me that she'd never understand. Never get it. She'd just slowly quit looking. And then forget. That was my major moment.

'Rina - She was a little girl with breathing difficulties from birth. She got sick one day with a flu-ish sort of illness. Her mom was in the process of getting her meds to comfort her in Evanston, Wyoming when I last saw her. I'd just gotten out of church and it was an unplanned rendezvous. I felt Sophia's forehead and gave her a kiss. I could still hear her weak cries as her mom, my sister checked out. Her mom took her to Salt Lake City where the baby died in a pediatric facility. Just quit breathing. The medical people worked on her heroically, for 45 minutes. She simply wouldn't re-start.
This child had done this at home two or three times, but each time was able to start breathing again with the assistance of her mom (a nurse). My sister believes that her baby waited until she wasn't at home anymore, in a place where her mom couldn't blame herself. Who am I to say otherwise.
Mur: No need. I've printed up this sheet.
BOT: Only a little over 300 messages to go, friends.

Mark, again, I am sorry. What a horrible ordeal. Your sister has a beautiful vision of her daughter's intent. I certainly wouldn't question it, either.
If the family decides to start a fund at a charity or the SLC pediatric facility in Sophia Bell's memory, let me know, OK?

everytime ted talks about having a shasta, i get this mental image of ted mounting my nephew's saint bernard called "Shasta". does anyone have any brain drain-o?
You should have seen the look on the flight attendant's face the this past Sunday when she said, "and you sir, what can I get you to drink?" and I said, "Oh I'll have a Shasta."
I knew a girl named Shasta. Life can be hard.

The drugs (Vicadin!) are working well enough for me to play with this computer and nothing really hurts much at all. Not bad considering I got out of almost 3 hours of surgery at 4.

Because they don't live in the same world as us. The extra make-up is needed to look glamorous under bright lights & at a distance. I think Barbara's dress looks lovely (did you notice the man behind her is standing on the dress' train??)

Damn straight. "Aging Men in Pony Tails" WBA realistic NF some RB. And why anyone would want to be a Steven Seagal wannabe.... YISH.
One thing that I find grating are girls who wear the skin-tight half-tops and hip-huggers but are way too chubby for it. I also hate seeing really young girls in any shape dressed like hookers. A little self-respect, teens!

Judi...I lost a couple of pounds right before I got married and my off-the-shoulder dress was drooping all day! I had to keep pulling it up and pulling it up...that lady could use a similar reminder, don'tcha think? Or a little of that "body glue" that pageant girls use to keep their swimsuits from riding up.
Here's some more Barbara Hershey...I think she's a pretty good actress. That picture of her at some award show doesn't do her justice.

they're talking about the exact same thing on my book list. pre-teens in spaghetti straps with bra straps showing.... and overweight people with low-risers and belly shirts...one woman said she had a student dressed that way with a hairy belly.... ugh.
- Dec 4, 2002 2:11 am (#2829 of 2911)
Yish!!
A local school adopted a strict dress code to deal with that. Instead of being sent home, however (some punishment!), girls were given a really ugly t-shirt to wear for the remainder of the day that said "I violated the school dress code today. Tomorrow I will dress appropriately." CRUEL! But I think it's great. How are guys supposed to pay attention in class when the girl in front of him is wearing hip-huggers so low they're called "Pencil Holders"...because you can put your pencil in her butt cleavage!!

Here is a fun fact: Oregon only has four drive ins still running. I grew up in a town with one of them, and my mother grew up in a town with another one. I've seen the third, but the fourth is still in an unknown location. If you have any information regarding this fourth drive in theatre please call: 1 800 drive in.

we still have a working drive-in down here in south florida, and it gets first run movies too. we went once ... when the power rangers movie was on another screen. i can't remember what we went to see, but the kids watched that one ;)

Is your Hummer made of Legos?
We still have a drive-in around here, 30 minutes north in Mt. Airy (hometown of Andy Griffith, y'all!) but I've only been there once. It was nasty & overrun with stray cats & mosquitos!! There was another a bit closer to Winston-Salem in Walkertown that closed a couple of years ago because the owner was tired of it and couldn't find a buyer. They did a great business, had a wonderful grill, and we'd get there early, park up front & sit outside in a chaise lounges, kids running around in front of the screen waiting for the sun to go down. Gorgeous Americana! I miss it.
Now, Judi, about those pants... how old were you when some guy bought you pants he could get you out of so easily & your mom allowed you to keep them?????

So I went home and asked my wife " why have I heard of Barbara Hershey?" - and it turns out she's in one of my favorite movies, The Stuntman, which we watched sometime in the last couple months. I don't pay much attention to names of actors and actresses, and I didn't recognize her picture with those Mr. Potato-head lips.

Minnesota still has quite a few drive-ins, even though they can only operate about 4 months a year. My earliest drive-in memory is when dad took the whole family to "Lawrence of Arabia*" back when they charged $1 per car; that's 16.67 cents apiece for those of you who care**. Anyhow it was pouring rain through most of the (4 hour) movie, so we got to see Peter O'Toole and Omarriding camels across the desert and nearly dying of thirst in a thunderstorm.
* 1962 according to the IMDB
** no one.

I spent a lot of my teenage years camped out underneath one of the screens at the local drive-in...it was party central, convenient to our neighborhoods and the liquor store where my sister someone would buy us beer...it also was convenient to the neighboring woods where we grew some uh...botanical influences...
Never got caught sneakin' in but we often got hassled at the snack bar...
- Dec 4, 2002 2:43 pm (#2848 of 2911)
Wow, now that's getting a lot of entertainment for your money, even then! I still recall going to the Drive-In when I was a kid. We saw...what was it called? "One Million, BC" with Raquel Welch? I found a copy on video and brought it when I visited my father during his last year, and I never saw the man's face light up quite like that when he saw it and said, "For ME???" Well, I couldn't say NO!! It was a pleasure to finally give him something he really liked after a lifetime of getting it fairly wrong!

Hey! >>true story alert<<<
Back when I first started posting at the old herald board, I posted something which someone immediately followed with "Doorknob!" I interpreted it as an insult or an admonition and spent literally tens of seconds agonizing over what I had said to offend. Eventually I got over it and moved on. Andnow here I am again reliving the trauma, and wondering is this a movie reference or something that I don't get, or an old board inside joke, or am I in fact, a doorknob?

"Doorknob", in some social circles, is what one says immediately upon hearing or letting a fart and wishes to deny claiming ownership of said fart...one also simultaneously positions their preferred thumb upon their forehead and glances around the room to see who else is doing the same...the last one in compliance then becomes ridiculed by the rest as the farter...
At least that's what we did when I was growing up...
It's just used here as an obscure reference, usually to divert attention or change the subject...
And that's not the mother-in-law, don't know who it is...but getting that fox to jump on command was tricky...
Google image search is great, if you've got the filters "off"...
I think that disclaiming farts is part of growing up in any social circle.

I, for one, liked Mikey's demented train of thought on door knobs. And that oddly timed "we... will... never... make... it,... I... biscuits" series of posts almost caused me to bust my stitches. Have I mentioned today just how sore my nose is? I really want to tell someone who hasn't already heard me whine about it. It hurts today. The sinuses don't feel like much of anything, but this nose could be nicer. Bad nose.
