1972coronet Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 The best advice I ever got from a friend when I was telling him about my problems with my girlfriend : " Knock-a-self a pro , slick ! Grey matter back lot... perform us down ! I take T.C.B.'n ." All that I could say was : " You know what they say : 'See a broad to get dat booty yack... leg 'er down an' smack 'em yack 'em !'

Isn't that like casting John Mitchum because his brother's salary would've wiped out your production budget? Personally, I think Casey Affleck is 5 times the actor that Ben is! I can't think of a movie that I've seen Ben Affleck in that was made better by him!! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Good One, Snake! By the time I was stationed in Okinawa at Kadena AB in 1987, That "Meanest SOB in the Valley" was on T-Shirts, Door Hangers, and posters, all over SEA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chepp Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Here's one from one of my high school teachers: "Everyone brings joy to this classroom. Some by entering, others by leaving." ...and from another teacher after a student answered his question: "No, Ace, that's not the right answer." [then, in a stage whisper] "You know, 'Ace' is spelled with two s's." Edited March 9, 2020 by chepp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Was the glass empty to begin with ? Or was it full ? If it was empty , and someone filled it half-way , then it's half-full . If it was full to begin with , and half-of-its-contents were emptied , then it's half-empty . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
