As I'm nearing my 0x3C birthday, I thought I'd share with you youngsters something an elder friend told me recently. It may help as you grow older...
I'm getting on in years and probably not the best looking guy anymore. Some would even say I'm a little frayed around the edges. But, I have a nice car, a little money, and I spend most of my time casually traveling from place to place and enjoying life.
I met a nice looking girl in a park the other evening. There was an instant spark between us. All of a sudden, she did this cute little dance, then immediately dropped to her knees and lay on the grass at my feet. As we lay there making love, I thought--- "Wow, these Taser Guns are really worth the money!!"

Thoughts like that are ... "off the Reservation" !
Merry, merry, cheers, Bill

Nice but maybe should be in Soapbox.
Not to mention I just got an Amber alert on my phone!

Sorry Roger, not funny. I would vote you down if I could. Am thinking about marking your post as abusive though.

I'm apologize if it offends you, Pete. Personally, I find most things that are politically incorrect terribly humorous, if the joke is taken as meant - an example of absurdity or illustration of a stupid idea. I always have, and always will lampoon stupid attitudes through humor, and that often leads to tasteless jokes.

Which may be the origin of "egg on your face" ? [1]
[1] The late literary critic and scholar John Ciardi suggested "egg on your face" originated in the rough-and-tumble of cheap-ticket comedy shows where comedians were often pelted with eggs, and whatever produce was handy.

What? Blimey, who's upset you today?

I just do not find jokes about sexual assault very funny. I have lots of women in my life that I care about, some who have been assaulted, and I know the pain it causes even years after the fact.

Not a side splitter (they are few and far between except for the Q&A) but there is a certain irony. Doesn't cross the line for me.

Thanks, great picture. Still can't get Mike's link to work, maybe it's Chrome ...

I'm using Chrome as well [Version 41.0.2257.0 canary (64-bit)], so it may be your ISP...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I'm still on 39 and it's up to date; must be the 32-bit version. Either way the link seems to be working now.
Hope you have an enjoyable and relaxing Christmas.

Or, as we say in Phoenix, just another day. 
Actually I haven't looked at it yet. We had a rather nice sunrise today due to a lot of moisture in the air.

When I was there the month of April it had just started to get hot and I was so glad I didn't wait to make the trip or I would have been miserable. As it was my hiking was limited, not used to the dry heat.

Yes we are and it makes you wonder if someone somewhere else is saying the same thing?

One of my favorite movies: Plan 9 From Outer Space
(They actually used the digit "9" instead of the word in the title)
One of my favorite scenes from that movie...
The general is speaking to Colonel Tom Edwards, whose official assignment is to oversee Saucer Field Activity. The General tells the Colonel, "You realize that there is a government directive stating that there is no such thing as a flying saucer." He asks the Colonel if he stands by his statement that he's actually seen flying saucers. The Colonel confirms it, and the General says, "This could mean a court martial."
Shortly thereafter, the General asks if the Colonel wants to hear the tape of the latest transmission from the flying saucers from outer space.

Well, Pete, you want to go for three horripilatious video recommendations in a row ?
Xmas cheers, Bill
