I hereby declare that I can take a joke.

mrichhcirm · May 18, 2015

Go ahead, take shots at my spelling, grammar, dog, opinions, weight, baldness, rockets, other hobbies, etc. I can take it, because they're just words and we're all here to get away from real life where everyone is so darn serious.

I also promise not to ask the moderators to lock the thread.

I also grant permission to tell me to lighten up....not that I think you should need it here.

Gary Byrum · May 18, 2015

Oh dear. You're having a senior moment. Get used to it. And know this, you'll like the ride.

While I'm sure you're right, I was kinda hoping other people would take the pledge with me.

Not to make a big deal of it or anything, I was shaking my head after noticing that a thread about hats (of all things) was locked. Not religion, not politics, or even the proper pronunciation of CATO...hats.

I mean, it's not my thread and I didn't even post in it...but really!?! What exactly does that say about this forum?

Climbing down off soapbox now

You forgot Jet Hitch. :wink:

Locked threads around here are running in abundant for the past half year now. Must be a power of the throne thing.

No, that was "lighten up". Telling me to shut up requires a written request with 14 days' notice, sent via certified mail.

For me, it has to be an old throne. The power of these new 1.6 gpf thrones just isn't as satisfying as a good old fashioned full five gallon model.

Oh, I embraced that pledge a long time ago.

Actually, that movie clip was based on cwbullet's usual reaction to my clever posts. :facepalm:

OK. I wasn't sure where you were going with that so I wisecracked back to you

I suppose I should have smiled when I said that. All in good fun.

ThirstyBarbarian · May 19, 2015

Are you ok with jokes that start with, "Yo mama so fat..."?

Absolutely! And I don't always drink beer. But when I do..... :rofl:

Now you take those ass clowns down in Waco this past Sunday. They ain't got no sense of humor at all.

The one (and possibly only) good thing about the new 1.6gpf excuse for a crapper we have now is that when you clog one up, you don't end up with so much water to mop up.

They don't have a sense of humor, but they do have a sense of the surreal. How often do you hear about a motorcycle gang shootout in the parking lot of Bed Bath and Beyond?

Dude, perhaps you should lighten up some?

ThirstyBarbarian · May 19, 2015

I'm going on record that I can take a joke too.

Just don't make fun of the horns.

I shall put myself in the corner until my attitude improves

Speaking of hats, here's yours.

Now think about what you've done, young man!

OK. But I think you'd look snappy with a set of these.

Once is enough. You can't go to any lakeside park in central Texas without putting yourself or your family in jeopardy. A plumber friend of mine and his brother have a cabin down in the Hill Country on Lake Whitney where he and family used to go water skiing, fishing and the like. Not anymore. The area is so infested with this meth head motorcycle scum that the entire area has become a no-mans land. They can't even sell the place. It's time to bring in the flamethrowers!

LOL!

Someday I'm going to have to collect all the variations that have been made of my avatar. It's getting to be quite a lot of them.

Ah....Central Texas. I remember it well.

Swimming in Cowhouse Creek...fishing at Belton Reservoir...Farm Roads but I guess they call them Farm To Market Roads now.

Here's one that has a little more clarity.

Once you've taken the joke what do you do with it?

Bottle it, hand it out and see if others like it. :wink:

mrichhcirm · May 20, 2015

Stack them up on pallets and ship them to places where they desperately need humor
Like Waco, or Pyongyang.

I hereby declare that I can take a joke.
