Have you ever had a loose thread...

[MrPromey]

.. you know, like on a sweater or something?.. where you pull on it and it keeps getting longer and longer and you think that if you keep pulling on it you are going to start seeing your sweater unravel but it finally breaks and you can't tell the difference from looking afterwards? I mean, it's like the thread was never even there to begin with. Where did it come from that the fabric of that sweater could still stay perfectly held together with it now gone? Do they just pack sweaters with extra thread for thread pulling? Is it one of those things that's supposed to prolong the life of winter wear when worn by people who are subject to nervous habits such as thread pulling?

The really baffling question is how I came up with this whole stream of thought to begin with. I live in an area of Florida that gets cold for only a few weeks out of the entire year and I honestly can't even remember the last time I wore a sweater..

To be honest, I'm just bored and nobody else seems to be posting with much regularity at the moment so I just decided to make up a useless thread. If it continues to be quiet and I continue to be low on work, I will continue to add to the meaningless banter that I have now started with myself... So... everyone cross your fingers and hope it gets busy around here! :hammer:

I've wanted to use that little icon for something ever since Steve added all the new ones. I've just never had a reason to. Now that I have used it, I feel much better!

I was just looking over the members list and it struck me that the person with the highest daily average post count hasn't posted in over a month. How crazy is that?! Ok, I realize I'm stretching here but what can I say? This is the first day I've been able to post regularly from work in quite a while and nobody else seems to be active

Keep going MrP, I miss these long threads of yours. (posts not sweater threads)

A 7-year-old and his 4-year-old brother are upstairs in their bedroom. The 7-year-old is explaining that it is high time that the two of them begin swearing. When his little brother responds enthusiastically, the 7-year old says, ''When we go downstairs for breakfast this morning, I'll say 'hell' and you say 'a$$'.''
The 4-year-old happily agrees.
As the two boys are seating themselves at the breakfast table, their mother walks in and asks her older son what he would like to eat for breakfast. The 7-year-old replies, ''Aw hell, Mom, I'll just have some Cheerios."
The surprised mother reacts quickly and whacks him one. The boy runs upstairs, bawling and rubbing his behind. With a sterner note in her voice, the mother then asks the younger son, ''And what would YOU like for breakfast?''
''I don't know,'' the 4-year-old blubbers, ''but you can bet your A$$ it's not gonna be Cheerios!''

`In 1989, a North Carolina company introduced "Talking Tissue", a novelty gadget which fit the standard toilet paper dispenser. Each time you pulled the tissue, you heard one of four recordings: "Yuk-yuk," "Stinky-stinky," "Nice one-nice one," or alarm bells. Batteries were not included.

An elderly man in Phoenix calls his son in New York and says,"I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that yourmother and I are divorcing; 45 years of misery is enough.""Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams."We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the oldman says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talkingabout this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."Then he hangs up.Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone."Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll takecare of this." She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams atthe old man, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a singlething until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, andwe'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing,DO YOU HEAR ME?"The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "They're coming for Thanksgiving and paying theirown fares."

MrP, sorry I wasn't frolicking here today--I actually had to work and teach today and wasn't near the computer very much.

I'll try to do better, honest.

LMAO.... sorry. I was distracted by work and other stuff today... I'll try to focus on the business at hand...

Are we talking about sweaters here, or what? Because as someone who wears a lot of sweaters, I can tell you, you shouldn't pull those threads.... You could make a big hole that way...

So what you are saying is that I shouldn't pull my own threads, right?

Mighty, could you come here for a sec? I think you have a loose thread.

Fidel Castro was a star baseball pitcher at the University of Havana in the 1940’s. Cuba once had a minor league team (the Havana Sugar Kings) and when Castro took over the country, he enthusiastically supported it. In fact, Premier Castro once pitched an inning in the minors, striking out two batters–on called strikes (after which he left the mound and shook the umpire’s hand). In another game, his team was losing in the 9th inning–so he declared that the game would go into extra innings. They played until Castro’s team won.


Not so BTW, the only place you can see the sun rise in the Atlantic and see in the Pacific is Panama.
