        Happy Birthday, Grampdaddy! I believe turning 60 is the milestone at which you may now say anything that comes to your mind without any editing whatsoever, and be as crankity as you want, and everyone will say you’re “cute”. Enjoy!

          First of all, I would like to make it clear that I am NOT the “Troll Who Must Not Be Spoken to (or of)”, although I do fit the description above, so aptly presented By Andie.

          Thank you all for your generous wishes for my birthday. I do truly appreciate being a part of this community and the sense of acceptance and belonging expressed by all of you. More comments in response to your good wishes will follow……..

          I regret to inform you that the “Forbidden Thong Dance” is banned in this and 47 other states and the District of Columbia. I think the nearest location is in North Dakota, and it is allowed only in late January and Early February.

          Therefore, it will be cold enough to freeze the spheroids off a metallic primate when we see the dance number.

          [cut and pasted medical corey that will produce gross mental images]

          Saponification (Adipocere formation)

          Sometimes putrefaction of a corpse does not lead to skeletonisation. Sometimes, during the breakdown of fat by hydrolysis and hydrogenation, conditions become too acidic for bacterial activity to continue. When this happens, the body fat remains as adipocere, a yellowish-white, greasy, waxy substance which smells of cheese, earth and ammonia. This substance floats on water, dissolves in hot alcohol and ether, and when burned produces a faint yellow flame.

          Formation of adipocere, a natural form of preservation, is rare and requires a warm, moist environment as well as the participation of putrefactive bacteria including Clostridium welchii. It usually develops in subcutaneous tissues, especially in the cheeks, breasts and buttocks; on extremely rare occasions, the subcutaneous tissues of the entire body may be converted to adipocere. Viscera are very seldom involved. The adipocere will combine with mummified remains of muscles, fibrous tissues and nerves to form a naturally preserved corpse whose features are preserved. This takes upwards of 5 to 6 months after death, and the body may endure for years in this condition.

    A little OT, or maybe not if you’ve followed the past several days…

    A Limerickal Ballad of Candorman the Cankerous

    There is such an asshat from Candor.
    Boasting all of his snark is much grander.
    We called out this tool.
    For just being cruel.
    And thereby we ‘up got his dander’

    Candorman, a self-themed enchanter
    Who thought he was clever at banter.
    Too much insulting.
    A wee bit revolting.
    He’s not, but a really bad ranter.

    He would make of his posts to be lewd.
    Felt accomplished and coy, but he’s crude.
    He got a tad gruff.
    And left in a huff.
    And claimed on this site, all a prude.

    He returned to this place as a troll.
    And brought all his humor so droll.
    Puppet of sockery.
    Can’t hide his mockery.
    And mother bragged, ‘he’s smart as a bole.’

    To candortrollz we must give some credits.
    Whoops, thats after ahhh… twenty-some edits.
    Bees be upon.
    Deleter of pron.
    Praise ammender of Trollz egotistics.

          Right before the end of his junior year, my father’s class year was painted in mega-size numerals on the side of the school, so that class had to help clean it up (and/or possibly pay to have that done).
          Class consensus was that the departing seniors did it.

          Well, when I was born, there were but 49 stars on the US flag.
          Which would also be before manned US Spaceflight, too (for those needing a loop throug wiki).

          I was a JR in college (1980) when MTV premiered. And the CD came out. M*A*S*H, Hill Street Blues, and the original BSG were all still on network tv.

          Now, let’s see if thia “takes”–already know it will 400 Bad Request when I press “Submit Comment” as adores give “Internal Error” when pressed.

    Astro, per your comment from yesterday, keep an open mind about the people you sneer at now. Some of my best and brightest friends were 420ed out in HS, and are WAY more successful today than pretty much all of the squares that were making fun of us then. Also make sure that no young lady escapes your kind attention. Fat girls get thin, Skinny girls fill out, and if you play your cards right, at your 20 yr reunion, there will be a line of ladies waiting to re-make your acquaintance. Having abs and looking good in your crackerjacks helps immensely too. Food for thought.

    This is supposed to be at the very end. Hmm…

      I was actually going to say something to Astro alone these lines too, but I can remember being his age and having very strong opinions about various things that I now have the opposite opinion about so I let it go.

      Personally I think they should legalize all drugs and tax them, there’s no way of ever stopping people from getting/using drugs so we may as well get something out of them instead of wasting money trying to fight an impossible war.*

    ::Ehem::

    Ok so here it is…

    So last night, I was having this dream. In the dream I was looking at this paperback book from an author I like (no, not Stephenie Meyer). I was like “wow, that guy on the cover looks like…” and everyone was like “OMG yes he does!” So I o…pened the front jacket to see if it listed his name. I kid you not…it said “Model on front cover: Hugh.” I thought to myself, “OMG, so THAT is what they meant by the ‘Hugh, Hugh, Hugh’ ad! That they were selling this book and it has this cute guy on the front.” The cute guy was Rob Pattinson (aka: Hugh). So hilarious I had to get up and tell everyone before I did anything else this morning. Except pee and brush my teeth 🙂 I’m not kidding…
