I think Kansas was as hot as Texas this year, probably as dry and hot of a year that either have seen in a while

The land of the endless summer....

 That just really scares me.

I try to look at the bright side, firewood is plentyfull, there are oak trees all over the place that need cutting down now

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 10/24/2011:  12:05:11

There's this gorgeous tree up the road from me that I think may have died this year in the extreme heat we had over the summer. I'm so sad. It is this beautiful old oak. When they put in the road, they left a median right there and saved the tree. And now you drive by and all the leaves are brown and dead looking.

Maybe it'll revive next spring but I'm not real optimistic.

dat - Posted - 10/24/2011:  12:13:53

sometimes they will make it, they'll drop their leaves early to save water, then go dormant early and come out the next spring ok if the winter is wet enough

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 10/24/2011:  13:27:31

I just walked by cute guy's desk. (He's back from vacation.) He's wearing sandals and listening to Italian opera.

I'm trying to decide if that means he's cultured or just a dork.

DeanT - Posted - 10/24/2011:  14:05:52

Well, what if he was wearing cowboy boots and listening to the Urban cowboy soundtrack?

dat - Posted - 10/24/2011:  14:08:25

sandals mean quear around here, unless you're at the lake

DeanT - Posted - 10/24/2011:  17:33:48

Same here but I didn't want to say that...

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 10/24/2011:  17:50:35

I think he's kind of granola. Hence the sandals.

dat - Posted - 10/25/2011:  06:24:24

kind of granola? you lost me on that

DeanT - Posted - 10/25/2011:  07:18:15

Sounds like a health kick thing from the 70's or something... granola women didn't shave their armpits.

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 10/25/2011:  08:50:18

Granola = not quite hippie but getting there

dat - Posted - 10/25/2011:  08:52:59

our parts guy was at Woodstock when he was 17, I believe he has flashbacks from the early 70's

DeanT - Posted - 10/25/2011:  10:16:44

I still have flashbacks from the 70's... I was in like in 6th grade when Woodstock happened...

dat - Posted - 10/25/2011:  10:29:10

I wasn't born untill the end of august in '69 so I missed Woodstock by a few weeks and about 1600 miles

DeanT - Posted - 10/26/2011:  07:22:41

After seeing some of the mud in the old films... I'm kind of glad I was at home learning long division...

I think Joe was recked up like a douche

dat - Posted - 10/27/2011:  10:50:36

must have been his medication messed up, he just couldn't have done any drugs back then

DeanT - Posted - 10/27/2011:  11:05:28

too many Sudifeds....

maby his blood sugar was off

DeanT - Posted - 10/27/2011:  19:42:36

yeah, like more alcohol than blood...

dat - Posted - 10/28/2011:  05:49:06

he was looking for just the right level of blood in his alcohol level

DeanT - Posted - 10/28/2011:  07:31:41

I think something called blotter might have also been part of it... not that I would know

Kinda ironic that John Balushi did a parody of it  youtube.com/watch?v=dHaA4RePosY

DeanT - Posted - 10/28/2011:  09:56:20

John actually did a better job with the lyrics!

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 10/29/2011:  16:07:46

We got snow!

DeanT - Posted - 10/29/2011:  19:08:11

Send it to Kansas!

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 10/31/2011:  06:57:18

Someone must have beat me to the post office because it's all gone this morning.

dat - Posted - 10/31/2011:  06:59:42

ifin you get another batch of snow and there is enough left over after going to Kansas, would you send some to Texas too?

dat - Posted - 10/31/2011:  07:15:16

I got this in an e mail,  funny to me...

Last night my daughter just walked into the living room and said, "Dad, cancel my allowance immediately, rent my room out, throw all my clothes out of the window, take my TV, stereo, iPhone, iPod, and my laptop. Please take all of my jewelry to the Salvation Army or Goodwill. Then sell my new car. 

Take my front door key away from me and throw me out of the house. Then disown me and never talk to me again. And don't forget to write me out of your will and leave my share to my sister."



 



Well, she didn't put it quite like that. What she actually said was...



 



'Dad, I have decided to work for Obama's re-election campaign.'"

DeanT - Posted - 10/31/2011:  07:31:13

I can't believe the guy will even try to run... Hey we can talk all the politics we want... no one ever checks this thread...

dat - Posted - 10/31/2011:  10:14:23

I'm guessing as long as nobody fusses about it, so far politics haven't really been discussed, it would be more like family matters

DeanT - Posted - 10/31/2011:  11:17:52

My family would not be very happy if the present president got re-elected.

dat - Posted - 10/31/2011:  11:26:57

MINE EITHER

DeanT - Posted - 10/31/2011:  11:39:33

I've vote for Clint Eastwood or Rocky....

dat - Posted - 10/31/2011:  12:05:57

or Ronald Regan ifin he was still around

DeanT - Posted - 10/31/2011:  17:52:02

Heck, I'd even vote for Larry the Cable Guy over the current guy....

dat - Posted - 11/01/2011:  05:47:20

how 'bout Ron White  "Tater Salad"

DeanT - Posted - 11/01/2011:  07:16:23

That would be potatoe salad....

dat - Posted - 11/01/2011:  07:37:34

kinda like this?  youtube.com/watch?v=Wdqbi66oNuI

DeanT - Posted - 11/01/2011:  10:38:35

Yep, that would be the potatoe head

dat - Posted - 11/01/2011:  11:08:49

and that is being nice

dat - Posted - 11/02/2011:  06:12:41

....... I believe the guy that is president now is a putz, but then again that is talking about the person, not the position, so it would not be political.  right?

DeanT - Posted - 11/02/2011:  07:25:01

It really doesn't matter on this thread because it's flying under the radar. Sort of like talking about the Pope being a Nazi youth... something I didn't know until recently.

dat - Posted - 11/03/2011:  10:18:35

Ray Stevens id a hoot, I could listen to him for a great long while youtube.com/watch?v=J6TcpfBHlb...e=related
