April 5, 200817 yr I have not seen it either, being a procrastinator, procrastinating, I will possibly see it, unless I procrastinate
April 6, 200817 yr It would be a lot easier to keep this thread on topic if the subject of the OP posted a little more frequently. His latest literary gem(s): What if your parents are dead ? It is my understanding, that people who have killed their own parents are exempted from this requirement. What does that have to do with the price of fish in down town bangkok. This was in response to a post that said a farang (over the age of 86) could own 1 rai of land, if he showed up at the land registration office with his parents ! (note that I believe lannarebirth was being a bit cheeky, and WW might have picked up on that). I've also noted a dramatic change in his spelling ability over the last couple of posts. Maybe he really has learned how to use a spell checker.
April 6, 200817 yr Yeah, t'was an April Fools Post and, with respect to the OP, one of those old jokes that surface every now and then. Quite often see it on signs behind the bar at the pub. You know, FREE BEER TO ALL 90 YEAR-OLDS! (Must be accompanied by both parents). The OP assumed that most of us would be familiar with that and we'd have a chuckle. What he couldn't have predicted, however, was that WW would show-up and take the whole thing at face value thus insuring that the laughter was louder and more prolonged. Needless to say, he didn't twig. And yes, he does now use a spellchecker as he mentioned it in one of his posts. Shame really... Anyway, sorry to bring this thread back on-topic. Where were we?
April 6, 200817 yr Just wondered... Seeing as how he misunderstands a comic situation, perhaps he's also misunderstand a serious one. Which reminded me of the old joke: Doctor, looking grave: Ah, Mr Warrior. Yes, I've examined your wife and I can tell you she has acute angina. WW, for it is he: Yeah, I know, doc! Smashing pair of tits too, 'eh?

What he couldn't have predicted, however, was that WW would show-up and take the whole thing at face value thus insuring that the laughter was louder and more prolonged. Needless to say, he didn't twig. Allow me to just take it off track a little more, but akin to the above quoted text. I used to work with a lad who was the worlds worst joke teller, he would either screw up the punch line or forget it completely half way through. One day I told him a joke, an old joke, the one about Mickey Mouse and Mini in court, with him suing her for divorce. The last two lines being......... Judge - "Mickey, you can't sue Mini just because she has buck teeth" Mickey - "I didn't say that, I said she was <deleted> Goofy" Now, on a company night out, this lad started to tell this joke, everyone had heard it a thousand times before, but he was a nice chap so we all listened intently........ his last two lines went thus. Judge - "Mickey, you can't sue Mini just because she has buck teeth" Mickey - "I didn't say that, I said she was <deleted> Pluto" The bar nearly collapsed with laughter and the lad was grinning like mad because he thought that he had finally got a joke right. There is one big difference between him and the poster in question, he wasn't armed when he discovered the reality of the situation. P.S. Our company catch-phrase for any bad event after that was "it's all gone <deleted> pluto"
April 7, 200817 yr Yeah, the photo is of a groundhog. The song is a reference to Groundhog Day. Well, that one went down like a lead balloon, mutter, mutter... I've never really understood that expression. Surely if a balloon were made of lead it would go down quite well (ie quickly) I was thinking of alternatives: Went down like a girl with lockjaw? Went down like a guy who's allergic to fish? Sorry
April 7, 200817 yr I love it when a joke goes wrong. Can be funnier than the real thing! How dare you sir !!!! That's my marriage your refering to.

April 8, 200817 yr Yeah, I heard about those; ABSORBOMAX, I think they're called. Skanky, nylon affair with an industrial gusset. Any colour as long as it's shocking pink.
April 8, 200817 yr [snip]The bar nearly collapsed with laughter and the lad was grinning like mad because he thought that he had finally got a joke right. There is one big difference between him and the poster in question, he wasn't armed when he discovered the reality of the situation. P.S. Our company catch-phrase for any bad event after that was "it's all gone <deleted> pluto" We did something similar in our students fraternity... original joke...not sure whether this understandable in English at all, those who speak German, kindly retranslate.: A greek enters a bank and wants to open a gyros account. The bank clerk says this is not ouzo. Then whenever we visited other fraternities, we told the joke like that: A Russian enters a bank and wants to open a Borschtsch account. Bank clerk says this is not vodka. An American ....Hamburger....Miller ...and so on. It was always amazing having the blank stares of those who did not know the original jokes, and the painful groaning of those who did...
April 8, 200817 yr Glad you got it Tigs. It seems that my brain successfully applied for that vacant position.

April 9, 200817 yr Just had a gawp at his profile and nothing since the 4th. Really, you'd think that he'd show a bit of thoughtfulness, wouldn't you?
April 9, 200817 yr I think he got himself in trouble mickster, you'll have to wait a bit longer I know I've asked this before, but who thinks this guy is for real? Isn't he, well, a bit OTT, don't you think?
April 9, 200817 yr Ah, so it seems the odds may be shifting again. Can't accept bets from SBK though - that would be 'insider trading'.
April 9, 200817 yr I know I've asked this before, but who thinks this guy is for real? Isn't he, well, a bit OTT, don't you think? Didn't someone say that they had actually met him, and he was very much for real....... being for real doesn't stop him from being OTT though.
April 10, 200817 yr I think he got himself in trouble mickster, you'll have to wait a bit longer I know I've asked this before, but who thinks this guy is for real? Isn't he, well, a bit OTT, don't you think? Oh no! But his profile shows his last posts as being on 4th April. Coo, so he presumably said something bad enough to earn a holiday and have his post deleted. Still don't reckon he's a troll, SBK. Your fellow mod who PMed him might enlighten you, possibly. S'funny; his profile shows a very high number of viewings in relation to his post count and yet have any of you ever seen him as having looked at your profile? Perhaps he hasn't worked out how to do that yet... I know I've asked this before, but who thinks this guy is for real? Isn't he, well, a bit OTT, don't you think? Didn't someone say that they had actually met him, and he was very much for real....... being for real doesn't stop him from being OTT though. Yeah, Thaddeus; a fellow BM has met him in Australia. The PMs he sent me are on Page 1 of this thread. Actually, I've been wondering whether to go to the BBQ in Surin on 14th June. I just thought to myself last night "Hey, if I thought WW was going, I'd definitely go!" I mean, who'd need a cabaret? It'd be a scream, I reckon. I almost feel like PMing him about it...
April 10, 200817 yr I heard that not only is he going to the Thai Visa get-together, but he has already begun checking out the area for sniper positions. Be warned.
April 10, 200817 yr Bring body armor, perhaps? And mickster, I just have to add, that worries me even more. I probably would feel better thinking he were some deranged troll with nothing better to do than wind people up.
