Sad but true. How awful things have become.

First words that came to my mind?
Fucking liberals.
This is crazy stuff! I remember specifically using the extra firecrackers from the 4th of July to build an engine for the rocket I had made! Not only was the flight successful, I recovered the rocket about 7 blocks away! It seems that I put just a tad too much black powder in the rocket! Remember the biggest engines are only about 3 inches long, I had enough for about double that!
Imagine if I pulled that stunt today? I could start world war 3!
Are you saying that the world has gotten wimpy? ;)

Ha-Ha-ha ! Those were great, Nomas ! Very clever !
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you !
Cyber-see you when you get a new power supply !
Ooooh, that naughty bunny ! Between her (him?) and the goat, they are more mischevious than toddlers !
BCC, Hammer, Slick: This is a wonderful statement on the way most kids are being raised today.
Fox: Yeah, watch what u say.
Dick: Woo hoo for political incorrectness.
Shawn: We used to tie tampons to various types of rockets to see how far they would fly. I'm guessing there is a "don't waste tampons cause it adds to the landfill" group lurking out there somewhere. You certainly would go to jail for launching rockets with loads of powder nowadays!
Anne: Bad Tux bunny! Now I wonder what else he may have gotten into while in the house for a few hours!
(I don't have a goat unless you count Hubby who lives in town).
I'm on my old compaq - it runs slower than a can with a string.
I see you had three libs posting with their fine controll of the english language and measured responses.
Kurt: Actually the previous comments were deleted by the author himself - he WAS on a rampage about Liberals but then he took his medication and calmed down. Seriously, he's a fine youngster; he was just confused about my meaning in posting these "funnies."
