Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 11 Dec 09 - 09:52 AM The Ballad of Shame McBride Allegro con vivo, with slack-string uke. He was a handsome, lusty lad His parents pride and joy And when he was born his parents sobbed For he was barely a boy. CHORUS: Sing flippity floppity flail, Shame is barely a male. He failed at school, he failed at home He could not write nor read And he was eighteen years of age Before he was weaned to solid feed. CHORUS Tim Horton's and Budweiser Was what finally made him grow From a tiny little nubbin To what we all too well know. CHORUS He has spent his time in durance vile He knows each cop by name His record file is twelve meters long His manhood is...not quite the same. CHORUS And that's why he dribbles down his legs For he can't get it out his pants It's about a long as his thumbnail And may disappear by chance. CHORUS Someday, when he's dead and gone, Folks will gather 'round and say "It's really pretty awful out, How're the Habs doin' today?" CHORUS "And do you remember what's his name? That kid with the worldest smallest...you know?" And everyone will shake their heads And reply, "No...who are you on about?" CHORUS, coda, growing softer on repeat. |

Just post some lines and you will see how wonderful this place can be." "Okay, all right, if you insist! Look, I'm typing! How 'bout this: 'Mudcat Café is full of shit!'

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 10 Dec 09 - 06:47 PM Speakin' of liquid bodywash... My neighbor Bubba accidentally got his bodywash an' a bottle of "Doe in Heat" deer attractor mixed up. He was gettin' ready to mow down a field of picked cotton stalks the other mornin' when a eight-point buck comes runnin' outta the woods headin' straight for him. Well, he didn't have no gun with him, so he clumb up into the cab of that big ol' John Deere of his an' got the door shut just before that buck got to him. That deer was so pissed off that he throwed back his head and bellowed for three or four minutes, butted the tractor in the grill a couple of times, and then started humpin' that tractor's left rear tire just like Gluon goin' after Rapaire's leg. That went on for a couple of minutes until the buck seemed to have finished his business, after which he snorted, pissed on the ground, and walked back into the woods. I asked Bubba how come he didn't just crank up the tractor an' run over the thing, an' he said he was just too dumbfounded to think of it. Well, I don't have too much trouble with that explanation bein' as how dumbfoundin' Bubba ain't much harder than fishin' with dynamite.... |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 10 Dec 09 - 06:28 PM Actually, only the part about kayaking is true, although of late the weather's been too rough for so light a craft. I have often sought, but never found, the seal of Approval I used to hear about watching TV as a child. I suppose he lives on the East Coast somewhere. A |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 10 Dec 09 - 06:26 PM I understand that Amos kayaks so even the seals can admire a sleek, well-muscled, body. He picks up a lady seal, you see...never mind. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 10 Dec 09 - 06:22 PM Rampant narcissism indeed! I suppose, Amos, that you are not about to own up to the full length mirror you have mounted on your own bedroom ceiling so you can admire your oiled supine body in it, and the pet Mynah bird whom you have taught to repeat "Amos is a genius!" over and over again while you compose MOABS verses at the computer... ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 10 Dec 09 - 05:41 PM I use body shampoo while camping, but I don't use it at home. A bottle of liquid is easier to take back and forth to the bath house at a festival than a wet bar of regular soap. It doesn't seem to have any auto-erotic effect, but it's the the cheapest brand out there. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Ed T Date: 10 Dec 09 - 04:48 PM I admit, I thought a bit before making the confession. Would it shock the MAOB macho community? Will it forever be mistaken as a giant leap toward confused mankind? |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 10 Dec 09 - 02:59 PM I think you misinterpeted my post, Amos. Your posts certainly were BS oh the highest degree and, ergo, a reminder that BS is our goal, our aim, our raison d'etre. Carry on. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Little Hawk Date: 10 Dec 09 - 01:24 PM Ah! It is good to see Amos showing a little humility and self-criticism. This means we will not have to give him a good slapping at the next sissy boy slap party. Ed, that was probably the most bizarre short film I have seen yet. In fact, I may now be able to say that "I've seen everything". I didn't see Shane anywhere among the participants. He would be horrified and disgusted by that film. He has a deep hatred for that sort of sissy boy stuff. He calls such people "winky-twisters" and/or "corkpullers". |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 10 Dec 09 - 12:58 PM Every now and then, we need a reminder that this is The Mother of All BS Threads, not just The Mother of All Threads. The last few posts have provided such a reminder. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 10 Dec 09 - 11:34 AM The noble and forgiving Rapaire has forgiven you. Noblesse oblige, you know. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 10 Dec 09 - 11:31 AM No, not at all. As with all things MOAB (including applause for chansons de geste) it is merely an option. The trick is in who chooses which options. SOmetimes we make the wrong choices. I for example, have repeatedly chosen to lampoon the various eccentricities of Rapaire and Little Hawk in these pages. This, I think, was morally an error. I need to learn the True Power Of Forgiving Everything. A |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Acme Date: 10 Dec 09 - 11:23 AM Class? Is that a requirement here? Why didn't you say so? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 10 Dec 09 - 11:05 AM It gives a great frisson, Ed, to see you use so rare an expression as "chanson de geste" in a MOAB thread. I have always maintained you added class to this joint, and Gawd knows after the moral terpitude being condoned by LH and Raspaire around here, we can use it. A |
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Amos Date: 10 Dec 09 - 10:24 AM Ed: It is bizarre enough to fit into LH's repertory of overheated imaginings. Why are you even looking at it? Is there something you need to be telling us, now? Rapaire's list has inspired me so I am going to take a day off work and try each of these techniques. A |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads From: Rapparee Date: 10 Dec 09 - 08:46 AM After Mr. and Mrs. Fenton retired, Mrs. Fenton insisted her husband accompany her on her trips to Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, Mr. Fenton was like most men -- he found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunately, Mrs. Fenton was like most women -- she loved to browse. One day Mrs. Fenton received the following letter from her local Wal-Mart. Dear Mrs. Fenton, Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and may be forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr. Fenton are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras: June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in House wares to go off at 5-minute intervals. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, "Code 3 in House wares - get on it right away." August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M's on layaway. September 14: Moved a "CAUTION - WET FLOOR" sign to a carpeted area. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department. September 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?" October 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were. December 6: In the auto department, he practiced his "Madonna look" by using different sizes of funnels. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled "PICK ME! PICK ME!" December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed "OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!" December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, and then yelled very loudly, "Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!" Regards, Harvey W. Pringlegast Attorney at Law Wal-Mart I think there's some really good ideas in here.... |
