We need to make it offical and give CB an invitation to Friday's open house.

I did. He is bartending and I volunteered you and I to bar back for him. BTW, the woman got real excited when she heard we were throwing a party. LOL-- willing to help any way she could. I may parlay this into her frying me chicken livers wrapped in bacon on Friday. RTR

One vote for the gold fish with the huge shark fin.

I see that Chechem is pouting and has now lowered himself, and the board, into booing each other. I guess he was offended by the political posts I made earlier this morning.

1-- The joke which included the president and his wife and a past president and his wife was not political in nature.

2-- The ID cards (one with Obama) came from a list of 15 fake IDs not to use. They gave reasons for not using each one and the reason for not using the one with the President's picture was obvious-- never use a photo ID of a really famous guy.

Without going back through this entire thread,(although rereading some of our stuff might be a hoot) I don't think it is boo worthy and he owes us an apology.

BUMP!

Are you booing yourself for attention?  Must have, if indeed you received a boo.
I have not booed anyone.
You owe me an apology (probably hundreds)!

So you didn't post (Daily Thread) this AM at say, 8:28AM, encouraging the board to Boo me? I'm sorry you did that but if in error your apology will make it all go away. TIA

Here is some bluesy music to listen to while kickin' the tires on the new thread. Enjoy it by leaving the tray open for music while you skip around or simply enjoy the swampy cypress scenes of the video. RTR

I think everyone should keep buying the $4.00 gasoline in a show of solidarity for POOR OL' BAMAWV.

Here is what I posted:

LOL.  But "can't we all just get along"? (LOL again)
The only news on TV seems to be political, and now folks insist on pushing their political agendas into our beloved sports news.  But maybe that's what the "boo" button is for.

So you were merely referring to the politics on television? Then what was this previous comment all about?

Morning, Leroy.  Glad you got just a bit of rain.

Enjoy your trip. 
  Party?  Is this a Republican Party (or would that be held in the President's Mansion)?   

I bought the Roosevelt book so I could read along and have something to talk to you about on your vacation. BTW, The River of Doubt was a interesting break from my civil war books. I posted a couple of references to the book but I guess you never noticed. I would never encourage anyone to boo others,-- you in particular. I'll get over it. Don't worry about apologizing. RTR

Socrates' Philosophy
  
Keep this in mind the next time you are about to repeat a rumor or spread gossip.

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about Diogenes?"

"Wait a moment," Socrates replied, "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."

"Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance.

"That's right," Socrates continued, "Before you talk to me about Diogenes let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it."

"All right," said Socrates, "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about Diogenes something good?"

"No, on the contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "You want to tell me something about Diogenes that may be bad, even though you're not certain it's true?"

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, "You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter, the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about Diogenes going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really."

"Well," concluded Socrates, "If what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me or anyone at all?"

The man was bewildered and ashamed. This is an example of why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.


It also explains why Socrates never found out that Diogenes was doin' his wife.

It also explains why Socrates never found out that Diogenes was banging his wife.

  I wonder if Diogenes used a filter?

Did anyone check CB's resume to see if he can bartend? We don't want him serving up Hemlock and ginger ale or breaking out barrels of E&J swill brandy. Just sayin'........
