_Laurie_ Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Posted February 7, 2008 You know the roads must be pretty bad when you see a salt truck slide into a ditch....
Lucky Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 Just a little imput here...guys I could drink you all under the table as long as it's shots of Jack. My booze of choice and it loves me!! Maybe the guys... dunno about me! A shot of Jack with a beer chaser goes down really well with me as well!
Foolonthehill Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 Well this is a pretty random thought, but maybe this forum should be called the Off-Topic (not music related) forum since it seems theres a lot more than random thoughts here.
Shawna Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 How can it be "off topic" when it's supposed to be completely random?
Farin Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 Well this is a pretty random thought, but maybe this forum should be called the Off-Topic (not music related) forum since it seems theres a lot more than random thoughts here. ooh... a paradox if the topic is officially "off topic", how can it be off topic then?
Sweet Jane 61 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 Maybe the guys... dunno about me! A shot of Jack with a beer chaser goes down really well with me as well! Sounds like a night of fun!! But no beer for me, just line up the shots of Jack please!!
MarcM Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 Any of you SFer's in the Sumter, SC area?
_Laurie_ Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Posted February 11, 2008 Or Southern California maybe?
Shawna Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 Sumter is South Carolina. It's where the first shot of the Civil War was fired.
MarcM Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 That would be Fort Sumter. Sumter is 100 miles or so inland. I am going to be there for my nephew's wedding March 27 - 30. If any of you are in the area, it would be a hoot to meet face to face. I will buy the first round (if you are old enough!)
Shawna Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 That would be Fort Sumter. I meant to say that.
Kevin Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 In your face , Shawna ! Read some history ( and pay attention this time ) , you lousy punk !
Uncle Joe Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 So Mrs. Kev has let our boy out of the doghouse and he's back on-line, eh? Welcome back, Kev. We've missed ya.
MarcM Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 Anyone celebrating Charles Darwin's 199th birthday? Same as Abe Lincoln's, dontcha know...
skybluesky Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 I found this on Mental Floss, in an article about historical figures who married their cousins. Charles Darwin Yep, the Father of Evolution married his first cousin, Emma Wedgwood. They shared a grandfather, Josiah Wedgwood (who, incidentally, started the Wedgwood pottery empire). Darwin was decidedly unromantic – when torn over whether to propose or not, he made a list of pros and cons. The pros included the fact that marriage would provide companionship better than that of a dog. The cons revolved mostly around his career – marriage would provide less money for books and would take up a lot of his personal time. Ultimately, marriage won out. When he went to Emma to ask for her hand, though, he skipped the whole “endless love†mush and instead spent the evening discussing transmutation. The scientific talk must have really done it for Emma, though, because when they did eventually get married they had a prolific 10 children.
TheLizard Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 The pros included the fact that marriage would provide companionship better than that of a dog. BS.
Shawna Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 A "prolific 10 children"? Or "10 prolific children"? things that make you go "hmmmmm...."
MarcM Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 I guess Darwin had his own Theory of Relativity....
