The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[Mtndog]

Susie--You poor thing! What a heinous thing to befall our fair, young lass

You take care, and get lots of rest--and some of Bev's drugs wouldn't hurt, either!

I can't wait to see the "after picture" once you're up and around again

Go Patti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you used heinous, befall, fair and lass in one sentence. I do believe I have died and gone to Ireland!

Miss SusieQ- So sorry. Wish I could help you about but those drugs are in very short supply! And I'm trying so hard not to use them. Today my right arm feels like it's broken- OUCH!!!!!!!!!

OK doggie funnies from my uncle

Ten Peeves that Dogs Have About Humans

1. Blaming your farts on me...not funny.. not funny at all !!!

2 Yelling at me for barking.. I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG, YOU IDIOT!

3. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly whose walk is this anyway?

4. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose...stop it!

5. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home.

6. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! Whoooo Hoooooooo what a proud moment for the top of the food chain.

7. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I freak out

every time we go back!

8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.

9.Dog sweaters ? Hello ???, Haven't you noticed the fur?

10. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth, you're just jealous.

Now lay off me on some of these thing's, We both know who's boss here!!! You don't see me picking up your poop do you ???

All of you well spoken, illustrious folks are a tough act to follow! I'm just trying to keep up

Those dog-isms are too funny! I'm thinking Angus is in agreement?

[tom]

I am indeed well aware I'm out of my league here ..or is it my mind??

The HELL u say!!

I was just tossing in a line from the great song I just heard is all. I'd hoped that putting that much space betw 'content' and "lyric" could be a fast'n'dirty substitute for a change in signature.

I guess I gotta take a brit's word for it on 'sod'. But I've run into so many awful errors on wiki that I wish you'd posted just about ANY other source! (Tho sodomite gets a passing mention, I'd thought it euphemistically vulgar beyond the impression on wiki)

You need to quit making stuff up.

This thread reminds me of Monty Python.

making stuff up??? what???? but 'tis all true, you silly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:P

Susie has now secured many percocets from wonderful friend who just visited.

I took photos, she wants to steal Annie every time she comes....may post a pic of my SUPPLIER later.

feeling a bit better already actually, but clearly not astute and present enough to be clever. Sheesh, Taumn makes us all look rather stupid, really, don't he?

[nikki-uk]

Those dog-isms are too funny!

Patti said dog-isms

I guess I gotta take a brit's word for it on 'sod'. But I've run into so many awful errors on wiki that I wish you'd posted just about ANY other source!

I know - - scared taht we angered Carla over mention of VAtican.....

OMG Jenn is the CUTEST - - - actually looks like - who is the girl in the Ghost Whisperer show, but cuter - - - she is the GIRLIEST girl, always shopping, she is 5' 9 inches and a size 2 - model-thin (too thin) and she is like my little sis - - - so adorable - - - and so Annie is really in love with her (I don't have the heart to tell Jenn that Annie loves EVERYBODY ).....and Jenn says, oh I am SO taking her shopping with me, she wants to go shopping!....Annie do you want to go to Sephora with me?? and then to the Coach store?

:lol:

Sod--who knew?

Thanks Nikki--I learn something new every day!

'tis true, is it not???? who knew, in the silliest of all threads!

[happygirl]

I just have to pop in to add something, that is rather funny to me.

So, I pop over here and read occassionally, and laugh (of course ).

All this time, I've thought the thread was tickle me elmo.

I just realized today that it was tickle me elbow.

I guess I'm kind of slow sometimes

Thanks for the laughter---we all need it!

[nikki-uk]

Well HELLOO LAURA!!!!!

(...are we recruiting from OMG?? )

All this time, I've thought the thread was tickle me elmo.

....he's so cute and furry ....go on!! tickle me Elmo!!

Blame it on the Lyme Brain!!!

[jerseyangel]

Elmo was always my favorite back when Matt used to watch Sesame Street.

Gosh--that was over 20 years ago

[AndreaB]

I guess this is the side thread. We don't want to get too silly over on OMG afterall.

Don't know if you guys remember we prolific people were logging in 10-20 pages a day.

....*I* can actually visualise you doing the 'inverted' comma waggle with your index fingers whilst sounding exactly like a teacher

Hehe that cracks me up far more than anyone here would expect.

For the vast majority of my life I didn't do much usin'uh them $2 words.

A friend, who was maybe the smartest person I've ever met (Yale Physics), and I would occasionally venture beyond bar vernacular - ok he did often, me occ. - and he had some comment that made me reply "hey w/ my usual crowd, if you're using a 4 syllable word, it better be m*the*f*c**r!! ".

So a comparison to a teacher cracks me up.

[tom]

Bugger!! double post.

So I'll take this opportunity to call all the sodding definitions grammatically, if not gomorrah-cly, correct.

[tom]

2. A pitiable person. E.g."He's just had his car stolen and his wife has just run off with the milkman, the poor sod." This use is also be found with the expressions 'poor bastard' and 'poor bugger'.

Isn't "poor sot" in use for this also?

As for the rest, save the lark section, aren't they all examples of euphemistically replacing common vulgarities used in exactly those contexts?

<omg I'm sodding professor spice here now> (please don't make that stick. It's only there for a laugh. Saxy is much more fun)

[DingoGirl]

As for the rest, save the lark section, aren't they all examples of euphemistically replacing common vulgarities used in exactly those contexts?

um, halloo, WHAT??? Listen you'd better take THAT kind of talk to the Smarty Pants thread, pal.

HI LAURA!!!!! So nice to see you here!!

Elmo or no, just a buncha nonsense here, really, but we really do crack ourselves up. :lol:

And yes, we are recruiting from OMG.

back to the couch and the cool, darkened room.

[nikki-uk]

So I'll take this opportunity to call all the sodding definitions grammatically, if not gomorrah-cly, correct.

Now, see - I love this!! You peeps are sounding more British everyday

Beautifully executed Torm!!

Isn't "poor sot" in use for this also?

Ahhh, no - actually a sot is a person who is very intoxicated by alcohol.

Suzeeee referred to my husband as a sot a couple of pages ago as he had been knocking back copious amounts of vino!!

As for the rest, save the lark section, aren't they all examples of euphemistically replacing common vulgarities used in exactly those contexts?

STOP!!!!

PLEASE!!!!

MY BRAIN!!!!!!!!

<omg I'm sodding professor spice here now

You don't own a corderoy jacket with leather patches on the elbows by any chance??? ....wait.... ...how long are your eyebrows??

(excellent SODDING execution AGAIN)

um, halloo, WHAT??? Listen you'd better take THAT kind of talk to the Smarty Pants thread, pal.

SNORT, SPLUTTER!!!!!!!!!!

OH DEAR GAWDDD!!!!!! - you NUTS!! - I'm off to ma bed

LATERS!!!

[tom]

(excellent SODDING execution AGAIN)

Nope; not; Thx!!

[CarlaB]

Is Carla angry?? (hope not )

No, silly!

I am having trouble following this thread ... pathetic huh?

[DingoGirl]

No, silly!

I am having trouble following this thread ... pathetic huh?

now THAT is funny! nothing to follow......you're overthinking. Tom uses too many big words, that's all. He's forcing us to stretch our addled brains.....we're REALLY not used to that over here.

[tom]

All this time, I've thought the thread was tickle me elmo.

Omg I now have to tell a little story that should elicit some "awwwwwww"s from this estrogen-filled bunch.

There's an old girlfriend of mine who I'm still close with and she has two daughters I love dearly whom I've known all their lives.

When the elder Nicole was 2.5-3 or whenever a kid 1st discovers they *do* have at least one small bit of power over adults - namely tickling them - was the xmas that tickle-me-elmo was hot.

She took to it like celiacs to a gluten-free bakery's grand opening.

W/ me she quickly, and I mean VERY quickly, became so giddy in just the anticipation, that she'd be two notches from uncontrollable giggles on approach. And how am I supposed to NOT laugh w/ this alligator-armed finger-wigglin' mini-cutie w/ the rapid-fire giggle slowly stepping my way ???

I ask u that!

One time, I'm on the couch and she's acting stealthy tho in plain view. Still 2 steps away, we're already both giggling away, and her grandmother was there and SHE says "why do THEY need a TickleMeElmo, they've got a TickleMeTom?"

They STILL call me TickleTom and maybe always will. Hehehehehhe. I mean, I get *mail* addr that way!

It HAS made for some uncomfortable moments to get introduced as that - even once to their school vice principal!!!!

Can u imagine how their friends' parents & other adults 1st look at me when they HEAR THIS???!!! Gets quickly cleared up of course.

Cute story.

No matter who writes it, I'm not sure I'm comfortable w/ stories that have references to possible pedophilia. <blegh>

Might be editing time.
