Begging for Ban Thread #11

[no rose colored glasses]

I'm just upset that I can't hide in the bushes and howl like a Coyote anymore. What am I supposed to do now?

You do know you left yourself wide open with that question, don't you, Babybear?

U.S. to Capture Cow Farts to Save the Planet

In the future, America will harness cow farts to curb pollution and power the grid. What? It sounds like a joke, but it's actually a real promise. By 2020, dairy industry emissions will be reduced by 25%, largely by persuading dairy farmers to capture methane gas, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced at the Copenhagen climate change summit this week. Farmers will be able to buy anaerobic digesters that convert cow, errr, emissions into electricity.

In that case, My Charlie can power the immediate neighborhood.

When we were teenagers a mob of us would meet at the school on Halloween. Then walk all over town. Some of the guys would gather up dog poop, put it a paper bags. Put it on peoples porches and light it. Then ring the doorbell or knock. First instinct is to stomp out the fire. hehe

Oh good Lord. I knew i would do it lol. I make a mess. If a mod comes in please fix this for me,

Darla, they're beautiful!!! Good job!

[darla]

Thanks Tevye. How are you doing?

Oh No Rose you just don't know the stuff we could get into back then. Like I said if my parents had known half of it they would have killed me.

My dad was quite the trouble maker when he was young, my mom never got into any trouble she would have been afraid to. I was a mix of the two of them, leaning more towards my dad. All I know is, I'm thankful I never ruined my dad's car, came close a few times, he would not have been to happy about that.

I was laughing and told my husband this, and he goes, come on you never tried that before, him and his friends use to do that also. And then proceeded to tell me the story how one night they tried to take the giant Colonel Sanders statue that use to be in front of KFC 

[Tevye]

Not only couldn't they trace calls, and no caller ID, I remember many interesting times I would listen in on phone calls, we had a party line. Eavesdropping at it's finest 

IN one of the small towns we lived in, you had to call the operator and have her connect you to the party you wished to speak to. So, no prank calls, as Clara knew who was calling who (and I swear she listened in on our phone calls!).

My grandparents had a party line, until all the other partyers complained to Ma Bell. Seems my gramma's afternoon entertainment was listening in on Aunt Anna's phone calls. Sometimes, just to be a brat, I'd make noise in the back ground so she'd get busted! Eventually, the phone company gave in and gave Gramma and Gramps a private line! 

(and you can block your called ID,ya  know. Prank calls don't have to be a thing of the past!)

Silly! You just stand on the other side of the garage, on your own property! Nowadays, we have coyotes all over the place, nobody would even notice. (It helps if you don't giggle, tho!)

Whew, just got caught up. Y'all are cracking me up with your stories of what y'all did back in the day. Only thing I ever did was throw an egg in the mailbox, got caught and the girl's parents said they were going to call the FBI on us because it was a Federal crime.  That was the end of my shenannigans. 

Darla, your lollipops are beautiful.

I wish I was able to be here today, work is crazy with one person being out. It s*cks that when I am out nobody can do my job but when someone else is out I have to do theirs and mine. I miss my monkeys when I have to work hard.

We put a toilet on the top of the flag pole at school one Halloween and we toilet papered everything in town. I was in the high school band and we use to charter Greyhound buses to go to football games that were way off. We put oranges in the toilet one time and you know they are filled with chemicals, that fool thing started blowing smoke everywhere....needless to say the bus had to stop and get all of us off to find out where the smoke was coming from.

  I love it, it was entertaining to listen to the calls. Selma Schmiling was the neighbor up the street that was on our party line, that woman never shut up, and she would never catch on that I would be listening, because she would never come up for air, it was constant gabbing.

Thanks Tevye. How are you doing?

Really really tired. so tired that walking up the stairs makes my legs scream. But that didn't stop me from refinishing a dolly highchair (from the 50's) and a child's piano (from the 60's) for my granddaughter today. I was going to do the reuposterly for the high chair tonight, but I think I'm just gonna sit in the chair and try to finish a couple of knitted scarves. Darn DH, he gets all his projects done early, and I wait till the last minute!

Oh the eggs that we threw  And fun with toilet paper never got old. Back in the day nobody in my town would have said they were going to call the FBI, half the town wouldn't have even known what the FBI was

  Between your stories and Tevye's I really missed out, my friends and I weren't that smart, and one of my good friend's father was chief of police, so she would always ruin things bringing that up

Awww Tevye, so sorry you are not feeling good. Rest up so you will be ready for Santa.

Thank you JSM.
I was never a part of egging anything, but back when I was young you could buy what they called cherry bombs, they were huge round firecrackers and a couple of them in a mailbox would do some heavy damage.

Take it real easy tonight, wow, your granddaughter is going to be thrilled to see that. You can tell us some more of your stories when you were a kid
