Random Thoughts

[Poquelin]

The Oscar for best song in 1939 was for "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"; In 1940 for "When You Wish Upon a Star"; in 1942 for "White Christmas."

Fast Forward to 2005:

"Its Hard Out Here for a Pimp"

I doubt if you would say that if you were black in 1939.

It's better than the welfare state where the only reason black people have children is to get more welfare. And before you say racist, I live close enough to them to see how they live. You probably don't have any clue, you've probably never talked to them or been in the neighborhoods where they're the majority and you're the minority.

Art imitates life. Think about it! What do they sing about??

It is disgusting. The Oscars honor those who should be shamed.

Can we agree to stop this thread now? If someone else has random thoughts, create a Random Thoughts 2 thread.

[Poquelin]

This thread took a very different turn from the one I had intended

I'm not sure what you intended, but sorry to have hijacked your thread! (with my second post; my first was a joke).

I'm not sure what you intended, but sorry to have hijacked your thread! (with my second post; my first was a joke).

1. My intention was simply the hope that other people would post their random thoughts -- you know, like, "My concept of Hell is to be forced for the rest of eternity to listen to Charles Aznavour sing."

2. No hijacking was involved, since I meant to open the thread to other people's random thoughts

3. I realize that your initial comment was a joke

<RANDOM USE OF SARCASM>Agreed! Boy Geoge IS an embecile.</RANDOM USE OF SARCASM>

Is the sarcasm tag recursive?

Good grief (hear the Charlie Brown music?). A thousand things come to my mind. I will just let the "other John" take it from here.

Goodness...seems an idiot is not allowed to post a random thought...and it was the only thought I have had in years!

[Professor John]

<RANDOM USE OF SARCASM>Agreed! Boy Geoge IS an imbecile.</RANDOM USE OF SARCASM>

Is the sarcasm tag recursive?

Is Boy George a polynomial? Are polynomial's imbeciles? Are either/neither/both elements of a sarcastic set?

This response was intended to be as oddball as the one I read earlier in this string.

Recursive Sarcasm Tags...DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT THEM!

[WendellWit]

I find your abuse of Boy George quite distasteful. After all, he is our President.

Oscar Meyer hot dogs come in a pack of 10, buns are an 8-pack. Do they think I'm going to buy 4 packs of weenies and 5 packs of buns just to even things up?

Do they ever think? WW doesn't. Maybe he is Oscar.

Maybe they are suffering from recursive sarcasm tags. I have heard that it can be fatal.

The symptoms are:

-Breaking out in cold polynomials and,
-an overwhelming desire to find the least common denominator between hotdogs and buns.

Ewwwwwww!!!

[WendellWit]

For the record, I am NOT Oscar Meyer, although I was once caught singing "I wish I were an Oscar Mayer weiner" (but nothing happened). And Professor John is apparently more full of baloney than Oscar. AND he has just admitted to being the Lowest Common Denominator. But enough about him.

To make things even worse, now Hebrew National franks come in packs of SEVEN.
No wonder Mel Gibson hates the Hebrew Nationals. (Which, by the way, is now owned by ConAgra, makers of such not-necessarily-kosher foods as Armour Sausage, Banquet Really Cheap TV Dinners, Blue Bonnet Margarine, Butterball Turkey, Chef Boy-Ar-Dee Canned Ravioli, David Sunflower Seeds, Egg Beaters, Healthy Choice Allegedly Low-Calorie Foods, Hunts Ketchup, Kid Cuisine, Marie Callendar's Frozen Foods, Orville Redenbacher's Popcorn, Pam, Peter Pan Peanut Butter, Reddi-Whip, Rosarita Refried Beans, Slim Jims, Snack Pack Pudding, Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate, Van Camp's Pork and Beans, Wesson Oil, and apparently most of the pizza served in school cafeterias)

No! WRONG!!! I said my real name is: Poly Nominal

Really Wendell, you have got to work on paying attention.

I am going to make you stay after class if this keeps up.

BTW, your singing did work after all. You aren't a weiner but you sure a ham.

Hmmm...maybe I like that name after all, Poly Nomial, the Lowest Common Denominator

[WendellWit]

Or like an average frozen french fry from Lamb Weston-Inland Valley (another rather confusing brand from ConAgra), you can be a Common Tater.

And I need to make a correction. ConAgra is in the process of selling its "refrigerated meats businesses", including "the Butterball, Eckrich, Armour, LunchMakers, Margherita, and Longmont brands", but NOT "the Hebrew National brand and products, Brown 'N Serve frozen sausage, or its Slim Jim and Pemmican meat snacks" to Smithfield Foods, which itself has way too many brands to keep count. This concludes your daily edition of the AgriBusiness Report.

They say that some "taters" are more equal than others - as evidenced by many less than imPRESSive spuds.

[WendellWit]

Yeah, but have you ever printed with a potato? Y'know, cut a spud in half and carve a picture in the cut side, then dip it in ink and use it like a rubber stamp? Not great journalism... and it makes the mashed potatoes taste funny.

Ouch. That hurt.

God is love, and what would Jesus do?

I thought in this forum it was WWKJD? (If you can't figure out the acronym, go directly to the Idiots thread and stay there)

I didn't want to get into this particular discussion, but I've lived in neighborhoods where I had the lightest skin and the lightest hair color and others where Bill Envall was considered 'ethnic'. And when I hear loud, obnoxious, profanity-laden 'gangsta' rap music blasting from a car on the street anywhere in California, I'm much more likely to see a white person driving than a black. (Yes, "Latinos" are well represnted too) It wouldn't be making so much money for the Major Record Companies (none of which are black-owned and less than half of which are American owned) if it didn't have frighteningly large crossover appeal.

And speaking of "integrity and morality", the hardest work I ever did was after 4 years computer-wrangling at a "financial services" firm, when the company turned insolvent due to investment in over-hyped over-risky junk, I (and half the company) had to spend 2-3 hours a day for two months just answering the waves of phone calls from people who had entrusted their futures in the company's 'annuities' and telling them the official company story: there would be no checks sent out this month, and nobody knew when that would change. That taught me something. No matter how much integrity and morality you put into your own work, your 'honest' paycheck is the dirtiest of dirty money if your bosses don't do the same.

Got it! You will be famous!

Wendell Wit Killed John Doe!

Impressive WW...who is next? Jane? Dick? Sally? Tarzan? Boy? Cheetah?

[WendellWit]

WWKJD?

Wendell Wit Killed John Doe!

I was only emulating my hero, Ken. And considering how many morgue residents have that particular designation, it's nicely non-specific. Not like "Wendell Wit Killed JonBenet, Dummy".





I'm gonna regret that, I know.
