How Is Everyone's March Show Schedule Looking?

Origins: This snippet of e-lore began its life on the Internet in October 1998. Whether it's an honest account or not is more difficult to determine than its date of origin, though. A number of the details provided argue against its being anything other than an inventive piece of fiction, so the textual claim of "true story" should be taken with a grain of sea salt.

A diving outfit by the name of Global Industries does operate out of Louisiana. They specialize in deepwater diving, underwater welding technology, and subsea completions. However, those knowledgeable about diving have pointed out that technical divers working in deep water wear dry suits (or even hot water suits for very deep dives), not wetsuits. (A wetsuit is open and allows water to circulate between it and the diver's body. A dry suit seals at the wrist and neck and prevents water from entering.) "Brian's" claim to have been wearing a wetsuit while engaged in a dive so deep that it required three "water stops" (slang for "in-water decompression stops") on the way back up to prevent the bends is therefore suspect.

Should you believe this particular tale about a diver with a jellyfish up his arse? Probably not, but on the other hand there's no harm in enjoying it.

However, I can tell you a true story some day about my husband, a vibrating cell phone and a vascetomy. That one I unsympathetically busted a gut laughing about!

OMG LMAO!

Ah, it's good to be here with so many friends. As a good friend told me today:

Friendship is like peeing your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

Hang on - was just pulling his original e-mail - it took awhile (happened in Dec. '04)...coming soon...making sure I don't need to edit anything!!!!

LOLOLOL! I love you guys! You crack me up!

I think Casmir Pulaski is a Chicagoland holiday. I remember when they first started it when I was a kid, and we thought, "We don't know who he is, but WHEE! A day off school!"

True story - from my hubby!!!! This will make you laugh!Well on my way to camp I was paged for a one car roll over on 47 north of Backwaters so I turned around and started to head to the accident. I didn't use my lights or siren due to the crappy road conditions. So I just drive over the bridge on Bridge road and something happened. What was it that happened you ask? Well I tell you. My cell phone vibrated because a server status email was coming in. Now normally this wouldn't be a big deal. But remember my nuts were cut off a week ago. I personally feel fine but my right nut apparently is still sensitive. I now know this because the phone in my pocket was close to my nut and as it vibrated it set a hell of a shock trough me. Now I don't know if I he the gas or brake while this happen but next thing I know the car is sliding towards the ditch. Luckily it was the dry side of the road and not the wet side.



Anyway we owe $40 for towing. I know we're not planning on it. They can't take credit cards on the road so I got his card and we need to call it in. The cars fine.

I had never heard of Casmir Pulaski day until I read the Yada Yada Prayer Group books. I feel so deprived to have never had that extra day off from school.

Pulaski High School is somewhere close to KG's neck of the woods - in Milwaukee actually.

Oh, Janet, that's hysterical!

I posted it unedited...my husband never was the best typist...

The funny after thoughts...Bridge Road cuts through the Wisconsin River...that would be the "wet side of the road".

Steve had called in that he was responding but never showed up...they were worried at first, then he was the talk of the ER.

A friend and fellow firefighter showed up after the call to try and help Steve out - he is normally a very reserved person, but he laughed so hard he cried (and snorted)! Steve was laughing at him laughing.

Bahahahahaha - oh your poor husband! L:OLOLOLOLOLOL

It's also funny that he inaccurately describes what a vasectomy is, despite having one a couple of days previously.

 

[Jilleysue]

I am doing ok..found my living room floor..can't imagine having too many shows come in at once..I think Kevin would KILL ME...LOL. I am trying to negotiate for some room in the garage...LOL.
I like the Myspace pages ...seems fun to see other pics than that of just the little avatars...LOL

Maybe a little quiet around here at hte University of Illinois. Students still recovering from hang overs from Friday's "Unofficial St. Patricks Day" at the University of Illinois (all day drinking day since they will be gone on spring break for St. Patricks Day). Out of town college kids come and drink here.

My kids didn't have Polasky day here in Central IL. The schools now can pick what days they take off. They had Lincoln's Birthday but not President's Day off.

[luvs2sellit]

LOL. Men exaggerate so much. I am pretty sure it is a little snip and that he still has all his parts intact. LOL.

 

[sarahmarie]

You guys are too funny! I love the inacuracy. I dont really know who it works but i know that is not it!

 

[cmdtrgd]

That snip is in a VERY sensitive place!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

It's also funny that he inaccurately describes what a vasectomy is, despite having one a couple of days previously.

It may not be physically acurate but figuratively accurate.

To quote the character of Franklin in 1776: "[a Colonist] Being called an Englishman is like calling a steer a bull. He's grateful for the honor but would rather have restored what is rightfully his."

 

[luvs2sellit]

Oh I know the snip is in a sensitive place but it is a snip and not the removal of his family gems.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

LOL. Men exaggerate so much. I am pretty sure it is a little snip and that he still has all his parts intact. LOL.

Remember that if you ever need sensitive surgery.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Oh I know the snip is in a sensitive place but it is a snip and not the removal of his family gems.

It's like having shiney balls on the Chritmas tree - they look nice and sparkle but they're empty and strictly decorative.

 

[raebates]

My DH would absolutely agree with KG. He went around for over a year telling everyone I had him neutered. (The vasectomy was his idea--cheaper than, in his words, having me "fixed.")

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Kinda tough to hang around with the real dogs at the fire hydrant, ya know?

DH had one, and I'd love to have "back-up", shall we say.... but even getting a doc to talk to you about tubal ligation when you're only 30 and childless is an impossible feat! Now that I'm 35, I could probably be more successful (but that would require a trip to the Doctor - bleah).
