I'm even more cynical than I was before I started this thread!

9. And the stink of sweat
I'm just saying - I usually use my sweatclothes & sneaker, workout and then take a shower before putting on my good clothes


(BTW, you do look nice in that picture - I'm just having fun. Anyhow you got my thread locked so you deserve it too)

11. I'd blame BTBM for the lock.
I mean, really. At least I wasn't talking about my scrotum. ;)

14. But you were talking about your dog's anal glands
And really, I could create a poll and ask the DU lOunge population if they really wanted to know that and I think the truth would be told

15. It would have been worse...
...if I'd said the dog was expressing his anal glands on BTBM's scrotum.

Much, much worse.

On so many levels.

18. Your husband is horny and your dog is rubbing his anal glands

on your side of the bed.

HE wasn't going to tell you but I thought it was important to protect you

EDIT NOTE: And if Hedges smelled funny, kinda sweaty on your wedding day it's because he decided to work out in his wedding suit before he got married

You don't want to know what BTBM can do with his scrotum!

12. I know, but concentrate on the positive aspect
you won't have to see his smirk every day. And hear that faux Texan drawl.

21. Who doesn't love Eric Idle?
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

Geeky boys and girls finally getting recognized for their intelligence on national television might tug at the heartstrings of the inner geek in us all.

39. hmmmmmmmm
We're all connected, you know. I think if one takes time to sit quietly and really think about that, that it can be very inspirational... it certainly serves to slow my slide into cynicism. :P

But yeah... just to marvel at how close we all are, despite our many differences... that does wonders for me. Kinda like that guy in Adaptation, when he says in his screenplay:

"We're all one thing, Lieutenant. That's what I've come to realize. Like cells in a body. 'Cept we can't see the body. The way fish can't see the ocean. And so we envy each other. Hurt each other. Hate each other. How silly is that? A heart cell hating a lung cell."

41. I am just a poor girl
though my story is seldom told
I have squandered life's existance
For a pocketful of promise's.

I declare, there were times when I was so low
that I became an elected Government Official
and had to hide myself
from those who would otherwise put me down.

:hi: Lynne!

42. A few:
God loves us all. Even when we don't.

When you feel nobody else is there for you, YOU are still there and YOU can make a difference. And, in the end, only YOU are the one who counts.

In for a penny, in for a pound. Never give up, or you'll lose a lot of pennies.

Always love your loved ones; never betray them or be honest if you do. We're only human, but deception will make anyone, including one's self, inhuman. But it's best to never betray them.

Let's see my traducers respond with something. :D
