The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[Darn210]

Janet,

You've never seen "The Shining"?

There was a day when you could lose a "star" for such a thing...ahhh, the good old days

I am fully clothed for those that are wondering

YES! I have seen The Shining but it has been ages. Apparently, that was not a scene that stuck with me. And I speak for all of your co-workes (and co-sillies) . . . thank you for wearing clothes today.

I'm not much of a horror film fan at all . . . I don't care for the anticipation anxiety. I did however, love Pulp Fiction. I never saw (or had the desire to see) Reservoir Dogs or Natural Born Killers.

Sorry to hear that we have a couple of grumps in the group . . . you're welcome to join our Halloween festivities. They start about 4:30. We set up a buffet in the cul-de-sac. This year in honoUr of my children, we will be segregating gluten-free and gluten areas. The main course has been changed to gluten-free (walking tacos). My neighbor's idea - isn't she a sweatheart! Then usually the dads take the kids trick-or-treating, the moms stay in the cul-de-sac and hand out candy (as a group) and despite it being a week night, alcohol will be involved.

Jess! That's a terrifying look on your face....! Happy Hallowe'en, indeed! Had you just been glutened?

That is so nice you are having a gluten free section of the buffet. That is just thoughtful!

did I miss something? who IS that in Jess's avatar? is this something I should know? Doesn't Jess have her hair pulled, scientist-like, in a troll knot atop her head???

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where ARE you halloweenies today?? the half-naked Zombie Man is walking around my 'hood again!! I have posted his photo....

I find it MOST curious that never ONCE, in three years of living here, have I seen this man walking around......UNTIL he decides to go out shirtless, in hospital pants w/ no undies (trust me), in 60-degree weather and with a wound in his abdomen.

(BTW he is not, insofar as I know, playing w/ himself in avatar - he is clutching his abdomen )

what can it mean, sillies, what can it mean????????????????

:lol:

[elye]

what can it mean, sillies, what can it mean????????????????

Okay, okay...just trying to connect some dots, here....

The wonderful Robert Goulet languishes in an American hospital for a week, waiting for a double-lung transplant, before succumbing to a fatal pulmonary illness....A bizarre-looking man in partial hosptal gear is spotted, clutching what looks like a huge incision in his upper side--where one lung would be.

Hmmmmm.....

Wait!! There's something ELSE! Bev....thought she had pneumonia, but was happy to hear that it's an uncomplicated lung thing.....

Man...curiouser and curiouser.....I feel we're so close to something big here. Indeed, "what can it mean?!"

[TriticusToxicum]

what can it mean, sillies, what can it mean????????????????

was he mumbling "brains...braaains...braaaains" by any chance?

Has there been a rash of organ thefts in your gated community?

Call Geraldo Rivera, he'll get to the bottom of this. Meanwhile keep the Iroqoius Skull crusher handy, and maybe sharpen a chef's knife or two.

[DingoGirl]

Man...curiouser and curiouser.....I feel we're so close to something big here. Indeed, "what can it mean?!"

Hmmmm....curiouser and curiouser indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!

But wait - - I must clarify the location of the wound (and because I read too many parole evaluations, of COURSE I am sure it is gunshot or stab wound )

My dear Emily, I do entirely see where your logic is going with the lung connections and the untimely death of RG, and Bev's non p-neumonia. Alas, this escaped mental patient's wound is lower, just right of center. Not a big enough bandage to hide a colostomy bag.

but I really see your point, please DO keep the brilliant theories proffered up.

Has there been a rash of organ thefts in your gated community?

Now this IS something I'm going to have to look into....perhpas today's the perfect day, I shall make up a bright orange flyer with a gentle inquiry into any missing organs of tenants.

but you know something - - this freakzone where I live is exactly that because of its complete ABSENCE of freaks. Nothing abnormal ever goes on here. NOthing. The streets are dead quiet, every house looks the same, nearly every yard is perfect (except for mine), hardly anyone even WALKS around for pete's sake, and if you go outside at night - you can hear a pin drop (that part is not so bad!). NOT KIDDING. There is NO character here, it's absolutely Stepford in its sterility....

so to see this half-nude organ-stealing murderer shuffling around - well you can see the excitement and titillation I"m having.

Hey people - Can I just say how hilarious it is to see all of your avatars on other threads? There's Hot Tub Danny, the half-naked zombie...and I keep thinking Janet is Susie.. . Those poor innocent newbies who just want to know about safe toasters and imitation crab must be a bit confused

HI

Lurking here is most enjoyable

I know - they really shouldn't let us out - - -

They should, once in a while...it makes things a bit more...er..."interesting"

[elye]

Hello, Meredith! Nice to meet you...

I'm off to turn some tricks--er, NO! Trick or treat!! ..Silly me...!

[Mtndog]

Hello, Meredith! Nice to meet you...

OMG- the Scorpios JUST CAN'T KEEP IT CLEAN. It's not our fault. We Scorpios are always turning tricks, under tables, jumping on trampolines, hangin' with the danglin' (participles, that is) :P

It's not easy being us you know.

Susie- I think that since this man has been wandering around sans shirt with hospital pants (at least it's not just a johnny!) with an obvious organ missing......maybe someone should call the police. Perhaps he needs help. I can't believe you took his picture....OMG, wait a minute....are you SURE it's not K-Fed? And Britney ran into him? Or over him? Hmmmmm.......the plot thickens.

Me, too! Sounds like an enviable neighboUrhood, Janet!

[jerseyangel]

Hi all--I'm back!

You guys have been so busily funny since I've been gone. It was so-o-o-o nice to log back on (finally)!!!!!

Gosh--so much has gone down....we lost Robert Goulet (when I heard, I immediately thought about this thread), and Amanda's wedding day is just about here.

I took some time out from this heinous unpacking (still not as bad as packing ) earlier and read what all I missed. I have a rotten cold and I don't know my way around my new town--but I was cracking up reading

Susie--that poor surgery guy in your neighborhood Anything new on him?

Janet--I wanna come to your Halloween party, too

We live out in the country now--no trick or treaters at all !!! In our old neighborhood, we would get so many kids, at least one year we ran out of candy.

Carry on--I'm too tired to be funny

Pattichuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We missed you! I take it yur excess facial hair disappeared with the move Happy halloween!

Just thought of the funniest Halloween card I saw on my friend's fridge...her 5 year old made it. It said;

Trick or treat, smell my feet

Give me something good to eat

If you don't care, I don't care

I'll pull down your underwear :lol: :lol:

[DingoGirl]

Susie--that poor surgery guy in your neighborhood Anything new on him?

PATTICHUCK - - you're not too tired - you're still funny!! Welcome back! How is Allo handling things?

and BTW WHAT makes you think that guy shuffling through my 'hood had surgery??? It was a stabbing or gunshot, I AM TELLING YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trick or treat, smell my feet

Give me something good to eat

If you don't care, I don't care

I'll pull down your underwear

OMG--my kids used to say this when they were in elementary school

Susie--Allo's fine. He has explored the whole house, and seems to prefer a shelf in the basement

So, has anyone heard from Chuck? Now that my beard is gone and the Chuck arm-muscles have shrunk back down, he isn't returning my calls.

[DingoGirl]

well

HARRUMPHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's been ignoring all of us, really. Don't take it personally. We're actually goign to find a replacement, he just had a lot of 'tude and it wasn't working for us.

*snigger*

HI

Lurking here is most enjoyable

Hi Meredith . . . I'm going to assume that's your name since Susie called you that and you didn't correct her . . . of course you don't want to make Susie angry . . . don't disagree with Susie . . . Oh, no, wait that's Bev. She's the one that will come after you with a cornstalk!! Of course, who knows what that poor man did to Susie and now he walks around the neighborhood with no shirt and an abdominal wound.

In my experience, lurking is required for awhile. You have to get some history on some of the cutting edge discussions that we have and get a handle on our personalities (and most of us have more than one )

Trick or Treating is over here . . . now I will spend the next two days cleaning up after the feast. I'm miserable - you have to try a little of everyone else's candy, right?

Patti - Yea! Worse parts over! How are the washer and dryer? Did they make it OK?

I just wanted to point out that I joined this thread on page 154 on September 14th. We have more than doubled the number of pages since then. I just want that documented so that when Scott hands out the raises, I get a big o' chunk o' change because of the increase in production!!

[~alex~]

Patti, I hope your move went smoothly.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Top Five Reasons Trick-or-Treating is Better Than Sex.

3. Forty years from now, you'll still enjoy candy.

2. If you don't get what you want, you can always go next door.

1. You can do the whole neighborhood!

Oh wait till those Scorpios get ahold of that!!

[DingoGirl]

Of course, who knows what that poor man did to Susie and now he walks around the neighborhood with no shirt and an abdominal wound.

OMG - - we are REALLY not going to go into that today, on this spooky day...he LIVES IN MY 'HOOD, you know.....what if he's CELIAC and READING ALONG HERE??????????

Don't worry - - I do have my Skull Cracker at the ready! dear gawd, I hope I don't whack some hapless young trick-or-treater tonight by accident - I might be a little trigger-happy these days - as there is a MUH-DA-RAH (a dramatic English accent) roaming loose in my streets.....

Well, ahem, Meredith/Mango goes WAY back, to the crazy days of Rachelville. Um, BTW that is really where all the craziness started.......Richard moved our town to here - where we NEVER get in trouble any more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAH-VOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG it's true.....

Now, the top two reasons...they apply to both trick-or-treating and sex...right? (I'm a scorpio, remember...) Bev?

Janet, how on earth can you precisely recall when you joined this madness?!...or muster the energy to look it up? Gad, I'm lucky if I can remember when I last ate...
