It's still a pretty small Foundation, LH. I'll need your help and expertise.


You do it.

Rapaire, that is brilliant! You should start a special new thread for the Help the Hosers Foundation, repeat what you said here, and direct all those who open it to come to this thread and make their pledges!

YOU CAN HELP A HOSER!!

Poor "Shane" McBride will probably eat only Tim Horton's donuts today, surviving on grease. He will have no truck with clean water and will be forced to drink Budweiser or worse. As he staggers about looking for female companionship the ladies will laugh at him. In the loo his mates will laugh at his outfit.

But you can help "Shane" and thousands like him. Simply post to this thread and each time you do Bill Gates will send ten dollars Canadian to Help The Hosers Foundation.

Help The Hosers is the only foundation in the world dedicated to helping hosers lead quasi-normal lives. Last year we helped over six hosers -- won't you help a hoser now? It only takes a few seconds.

Maybe someday "Shane" himself will come to your house and thank you. But even if he never does, you'll know you've done Good.

I think it's fair to say we need a recruitment drive. How about we all post on other threads saying that, after reading the post they need to post 100 times on the 85 billion thread or will have bad luck for a year? Once here they would surely want to stay and could become recruiters themselves. Why we'd be at a billion within the month. Is this a good idea or is this a good idea? I can see a special badge being made for this one.

I knew something like this gonna happen. Boy, Shane is really ticked. They could hear the yelling all over Blind River. Don is pretty mad about it too, although he figures it is partly Shane's fault for carrying on the internet feud with Rapaire all this time. Still, family is family, blood is thicker than beer (though not as bubbly), and the McBride brothers are TICKED!

Yes, I was once invited to speak at a meeting at Girton College and my wife and I fooled around in East Anglia afterwards. That was the day Diana was killed. "Why," asked she, "are the flags at half-staff?" "I dunno. I'm not British. Might be some sort of holiday, maybe."

Then, at Ely Cathedral, the Bishop his own self said: "Perhaps you have heard of the death of our Princess Diana...."

Oops.

But I did visit Castle Rising and a neolithic flint mine, as well as some of Cambridge and that big aerodrome outside of town.

BB Don, you know what? Our Library Pistol Team is meeting here at my house tomorrow afternoon. And I'm the coach and trainer.

Back a few years (more than I care to remember), I taught hand-to-hand combat to guys in the Army. I taught them how to kill with knives, wire, string, belts, sticks, and all sorts of things -- and their bare hands (and feet).

During the time I've been shooting, Don, I've fired pistols, rifles, shotguns, revolvers, flintlocks, BB guns, air rifles, caplocks, machine guns, submachine guns, rocket launchers, grenade launchers, bows and arrows, 60 and 81 mm mortars, and even those slingshots that use rubber bands.

I can't say that I'm really concerned about your little bye-bye-baby-bunting-brother being pissed off at me. He should remember that it's lots better to be pissed off than to be pissed on.

Hey, Rap-man! You are really givin' the little brother a hard time, eh? Ha! Ha! Well, if you gos to Sudbury you might find him there sometime cos he gos to Sudbury now and then tryin' to find girls dumber than the girls in this town...and who alsos ain't heard of him yet! There are such girls, eh? Sudbury is big enuff that the field ain't been all played out yet, know what I mean? Hell, it will probablly NEVER be all played out, and that is good for idiots like my little brother.

Them guys who were lookin' for the little brother must be the same ones that lost there snowmobile, there chainsaw, a 2-4 of Export and a couple other things like that. Things that strangely went missin' in the night, eh? They seem to think the little brother might know somethin' about where them things are at. They are wastin' there time becoz if he did know where anything like that was then he would pond it in Sudbury right quick, eh? Except the 2-4. That he would drink, eh?

But man you are strikin' below the belt by bringing up Officer Dana. The boy is still carryin' the torch for her so he will be really ticked about it.

This means you are, like, in about the same flippin' degree of phisical danger as the flippin' Undertaker would be if Woody Allen decided to, like, take him into the back alley, eh?

Like none at all, eh? Ha! Ha! Ha!

Yeah, I went to Blind River once. I asked for "Shane" McBride. I asked several attractive young women, all of whom replied "Who's that, eh?" I then asked a cop, who laughed herself sick and then said something about someone named "Dana" thinking she could "rehab that drunken idiot." I asked a group of mean-looking men who said, "Yeah, we're lookin' for him too, if you know what I mean" and he showed me that he had a shotgun in his pickup truck and said, "Let me know if you see him, eh?" Finally a guy laughed and said, "Look behind the dumpster at Tim's. If he's not behind it he's in it, sleeping it off."

I wasn't interested enough to go dumpster diving, so I drove over to Sudbury.

Shucks, folks from Blind River fold up like a cheap pocket knife after only six or seven twelve ounce cans of Buddywiser. They start puking it up after three. Ain't nobody in Blind River can hold their likker beyond about seven cans of beer, and it don't matter what kind of beer it is, either.

Now, you take the good folks here in the Idaho Legion, THEY know how to drink beer! I've seen the poorest, sorriest, seediest, sickest member drink a whole danged keg of Bitch Creek in about a hour and a half. 'Course, she was usin' a straw so that slowed her down some, and she was eighty-seven years old. Usually she'd just pour it down outa the bung, but she'd been sick for a while, like I said. Now, you give a Blind Riverite that much beer and it would be "Last Post" for 'em. BRers just can't hold their likker, and that's all there is to it.

and there would be enuff fer all my frends to get drunk too. I would sell them beers for half price and get rich, eh? Then I would buy more beer.

1,600 cases of beer stolen; thirsty thieves sought

April 24, 2008

TAMPA -- If someone shows up at a party with 1,600 cases of Icehouse longnecks, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office would like you to give them a call.

Deputies said an entire Great Dane semitrailer truck containing the beer was stolen sometime between 8 a.m. and midnight on April 21 from 6408 Causeway Blvd. The owner of the cab parks on the leased lot and reported the truck stolen.

Deputies said the trailer is white with red stripes along the top and bottom and is valued at $10,000. The cab is a white 1993 Freightliner model valued at $15,000. Deputies provided a picture (left) of a similar cab.

Authorities valued the hooch at $20,000.
