What? Again...?

Humorist David Barry described Americans thus: “If you surveyed a hundred typical middle-aged Americans I bet you'd find that only two of them could tell you their blood types, but every last one of them would know the theme song from "The Beverly Hillbillies”

I thought posters here might enjoy http://www.nationstates.net/page=faq . The link is the NationStates FAQ page. Just so you know, I gain nothing by signing up new users. I won't even tell you which nation I am. No email address is required, and if you choose to give an email address in order to...

Maybe what is really needed is 'parent boxes' wherein irate children can shitcan their old folks.

As I've said, she is merely an acquaintance of mine. I can hardly walk up to her and ask. We no longer even live in the same city, and what I meant in my last message is that any questions or offers of assistance would only be interpreted as interference.

Sorry. I can obtain no further information, but it is as I said, the lady will hear no sensible advice, nor will her husband, and I'd bet my reputation as an interfering busybody that she got the job because twenty other candidates rejected the offer as outrageous. Thanks for tuning in.

The company recruited her in a Southeast Asian nation. I will try to find the answers to all the other questions posters have asked, and get back to you soon.

A thirty-year old woman of my acquaintance has signed a contract with an ethnic Chinese company based in several Southeast Asian nations to be some sort of assistant general manager in some media company in Sydney. At the end of the three years she is 'guaranteed' a general managership of her...

Does Anyone hate Mark Zuckerberg as Much as I Do? See, I already disliked FaceBook for its badly laid out website: what with its announcements that 4,562 people liked Billy Billson’s snot rag joke and it’s teeny tiny message doohickey (that works only intermittently, if at all) where you can...

A short poem by Mason Williams, entitled Death: You will know me by my touch It is the last

It is said that life arose as a clever way for water to transport itself from place to place. Similarly, consider the tongue. Feel it swell against your teeth. Move it dexterously about to remove orts from between your teeth and your gums, Use it to say 'thistlethwaite'. The ancient Egyptians...

I found this part impressive: "740: The approximate number of stars generated per year by the galaxy in Phoenix's center, a new high for the middle of a cluster. "This extreme rate of star formation was really unexpected," McDonald said. "It's nearly five times higher than the next most...

Think! What criminals would you steal from anyway, in real life? The Mob? Not wise. I voted yes. Buddha is right. If you steal, you are yourself a criminal, so it is not a question of a non-criminal stealing from criminals anymore. You have no moral legs to stand on. What shall we talk about...

What interests me about dreams is that everything in them is so familiar. Like, to make up an example, I can dream about a guy named 'Jeff'' - and it's like, "Yeah, old Jeff, typical! Just like always. He never changes!" I'll wake and know there is no such person known to me. So why and how all...

Retirement and retirement plans are for The Middle Class. I suppose they'll just find me dead one wintry morning and have to pry the coal shovel from my stiff, frozen fingers. How about you? :)

Gustav, I think you miss the fact that the poll and post are parody

sounds like me 'cept for the skinny part.

I am the sort that shows five o'clock shadow half an hour after a close and careful shave. So believe me when I say all shaving products are a crock. Any shampoo softens the hair and skin and works better than any shaving cream or foam. Go for cheap disposable razors that you don't mind throwing...

Where I come from, western PA, yiz is the plural of you, not yinz as many mistakenly think. I have noticed that students of English (non-natives) get confused by the general you as opposed to the personal you. As in You need vitamins and minerals to be healthy. They look around to see who you...

There is no statute of limitations on murder. And if only the lawyers profit then at least half of them work at the Simon Wiesenthal Centre. So what's the prob, Bob?
