RIP Rodney - you rocked Hard to believe he has been dead for over 6 years now In honor I could tell my parents hated me, my bath toys were a toaster and a radio I know I drink too much. Last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it I have good looking kids. Thank god the wife cheats on me I haven't spoken to my wife in 10 years - I don't want to interrupt her I worked in a pet store but people kept asking how big would I get I'm taking Viagra and prune juice. I don't know if I am coming or going My mother never breast fed me. She said she only liked me as a friend My wife and I were happy for 20 years, then we met When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I kept finding them With me, nothing goes right. My psychiatrist said my wife and I should have sex every night. Now, we'll never see each other! My wife was afraid of the dark... then she saw me naked and now she's afraid of the light.

There you go. That proves that, while we are idiots, we are not dummies. It's always interesting to see how easily these "fun facts" are debunked. I think I will do some snooping, or should I say "snoping" tonight and find out just how many of these are actually true.

These got my attention as I am technically an Electrical Engineer - Some of them apply - more than I want to admit to though!!! At Christmas, it goes without saying that you will be the one to find the burnt-out bulb in the string Buying flowers for your girlfriend or spending the money to upgrade your RAM is a moral dilemma Everyone else on the Alaskan cruise is on deck peering at the scenery, and you are still on a personal tour of the engine room In college you thought Spring Break was a metal fatigue failure The salespeople at Best Buy can't answer any of your questions You are at an air show and know how fast the skydivers are falling You bought your wife a new CD-ROM for her birthday You can quote scenes from any Monty Python movie You can type 70 words a minute but can't read your own handwriting You can't write unless the paper has both horizontal and vertical lines.

You look forward to Christmas only to put together the kids' toys You own one or more white short-sleeve dress shirts You see a good design and still have to change it You spent more on your calculator than on your wedding ring You still own a slide rule and you know how to work it You think that when people around you yawn, it's because they didn't get enough sleep You wear black socks with white tennis shoes (or vice versa) You window shop at Radio Shack You're in the back seat of your convertible, she's looking wistfully at the moon, and you're trying to locate a geosynchronous satellite You know what the geosynchronous satellite’s function is Your checkbook always balances Your laptop computer costs more than your car Your wife hasn't the foggiest idea what you do at work Your wristwatch has more computing power than a 300Mhz Pentium You've already calculated how much you make per second You've even tried to repair a $5 radio

If you go to a bookstore and ask them where the 'Self-Help' section is, would that defeat the purpose?

Wilkommen Herr Tolkmaster sehen Sie Sie in den Kämpfen

Couldn't agree more Artie

Welcome to the forums - nice pics, nice looking family

Mord, are you using Google chrome by any chance? I get the same error whenever I try to upload any graphic to the forums: Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0214 : 80004005' Invalid Path parameter /core/classes/class_assetman3.asp, line 204 The Path parameter excedes the maximum length allowed. I have resorted to using IE just to upload graphics, then go back to Chrome for all other surfing activities I have not found any solution for this, perhaps Phantom, sho is the website guru, can comment

Thanks a lot Labob and Artie

A couple more for your list The economy is so bad that: Even the President of Wal-Mart shops at Wal-mart when I went to the bank the other day the teller handed me a note that said "this is a robbery" Third World TV stations are showing "Sponsor an American Child" informercials Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting Bill Gates had to switch to dial-up The highest paying job in town is jury duty I went to Costco to buy one roll of toilet paper Mother's in Ethiopia are telling thier children "finish your food, there are starving kids in the US" They built an Indian Reservation on a Casino 7 of 10 houses on Sesame Street are in foreclosure And this was us at work last year:

Are you using a soundcard? I have heard of issues with COD2 if you have a sound card but don't disable the on-board audio

Blackbart killroy45xi OK I JUST HAVE TA DO THIS ....LMAO INITIATION TIME.!!!!! Damn not again... Well at least I know why they call them "Head" admins now

Blackbart Thanks Boss...I consider this a great honor...I want to thank everyone in the Clan especially my COD2 family...You guys rock...Congrats to all my fellow new Head Admins...I try to help out where I can and I will always be the same old Bart that I have always been...Except for when it comes to arty, he will now have to kneel before me and kiss my tags before he can enter a game...J/k... Boy, am I glad you said "tags" LOL

Congrats to all, but especially to Bart. Well deserved honor

Not that it carries any weight (unlike me) I think Ferret would be a wonderful addition to this dysfunctional family. Just what we need is a glorified, overgrown domesticated rat in the house. Perhaps we need to put some traps out behind us instead of trips so he doesn't sneak up on us and try to get a slappy head crown back (or whatever it is called) Just don't forget, ferrets sleep 14-15 hours a day so we might be able to speak up on him then!!!!

I played D and D as a kid (for about 5 minutes, till I realized I would NEVER get laid like that) One day I was watching Reno 911 and this scene came on. As my real name is Nick (surprise, surprise) I laughed my ass off and I used it once during lunchtime COD at work before the Fun police shut us down, and it stuck This is the scene with the dude from the old King of Queens show (can't remember his name off-hand)

Wow

How about a VIC20, u think he can handle that raw power?
