You always, make me laugh! I’m sure your family is proud, having your aunt, wearin’ a suit and no shoes! Her feet are looking a bit icy, though.
Good shot! We have the same erosion, on the west coast, from San Diego to the Oregon border, and north. Amazing, how close, the supposedly rich folks, build to the ocean. Glad, you had a good vacation, Daffynition.
Stand for something!

But there, I've said too much.
Indeed you have.
Speaking of the anchor poor Sidebar Moderator took along on his ... errh ... swimming adventure, I don't suppose I ever shared with y'all what happened to a good friend of mine.
A sailor was caught AWOL as he tried to sneak on board his ship around 0300 hours. The Chief Petty Officer noticed the sailor sneaking on board and yelled at the sailor to halt.
After dressing down the sailor about his being AWOL, the Chief Petty Officer then said "Take this broom and sweep every link on this anchor chain by morning or it's the brig for you!"
The sailor picked up the broom and started to sweep the chain. Just then, a tern landed on the broom handle.
The sailor yelled at the bird trying to scare it off, but it wouldn't leave its perch on the broom handle. The lad picked the tern off the broom handle and gave the bird a toss overboard.
The bird flew away only to return and light once again on the broom handle. The sailor went through the same routine all over again, with the same result.
He couldn't get any cleaning done because he could only sweep at the chain once or twice before the silly bird came back.
When morning came, so did the Chief Petty Officer, to check up on his wayward sailor.
"What on earth have you been doing all night? This chain is no cleaner than when you started! What have you to say for yourself, sailor?" barked the Chief.
"Honest, Chief," came the reply, "I tossed a tern all night and couldn't sweep a link!"
Now you’re talking. Thanks Nully.
You are going to fry them aren’t you?
Steam ‘em in beer.
Dang. Was the poor bs’trd- a snipe, a deck ap or an occifer?
Have you ever had HoJos Fried Clams? It’s not too difficult to whip up a bunch and those look like fresh ones. Fried clams are ambrosia.
LOL
Stop! yer breakin’ my heart!
LOL!
....every thread on Free Republic is a potential path for Moderator messages, attacks or controlling rays. Did you ever stop to think just how many threads you read? And do you have any idea where they really come from? Naturally, they discourage investigation of the strange and unusual, because it might lead to them. But they encourage people to joke about the Moderators. They also post supermarket tabloids, just to make sure that everybody thinks "Hitler's Brain Is Alive!" and "Bigfoot Seen In Hawaii" are just jokes. And they encourage the craziest pseudo-science "researcher" articles they can find, because this tends to discredit legitimate investigators into the unusual.
A popular belief is that the Moderators want power for its own sake. This is true of some of them. But other Moderators exist to support an ideology, to achieve a particular goal, or simply to oppose some other Moderators.

You are writing about the Mods as if they were humans. They are a force far different from mere humans. Beautiful, awe-inspiring, at times frightening or comforting, mysterious, glowing with unimaginable and incomprehensible power, clothed in light—these are the Mods. People who have the good fortune to see them in real life usually fall to their knees or onto their faces, overcome and half-blinded by the magnificent power they emit.
You know not of what or of whom you speak. They are the Mods and they are above ordinary human considerations. You are not to worship them, for all worship belongs to God, but you should fear and honor them. If they turn their attention to you, be grateful for the opportunity to learn from them.
We can speak to them, but not move them with our inadequate human words. The only things that work to influence them are beer and bacon.
On your knees!
That’s a lot of chocolate! Followed by a lot of acne.
You left off the numbers. How do i know there are actually 50 items here without having to manually count the items? Numbers are very important in keeping order in the world.
Don’t let this happen again or i may have to put you in timeout.
Whatever y'all did with Doggone and Pardeck, y'all just need to undo. I could always trick them into making the last reply to undo my jinx. :-)
