Oh Great and Mighty Lombozo.

I hope that you are still answering the occasional question in this thread.

A little background:

A few days ago (Monday) I moved to a house rented by a friend of mine (Kathy). Yesterday another friend of mine (Carol) helped me get my hands on some furniture so that I don't have an empty bedroom due to the fact that sleeping on a floor can be very hard. So Yesterday Carol, Kathy and I pile into this old pickup truck and head out to a address where this guy had a bunch of furniture (used of course) that he was willing to part with. I managed to get my hands on some nice but very used furniture (Including a nice bed with headboard) . Kathy spied a Headboard and footboard (4 post design) that was "Queen sized" to go with her queen sized bed. We then (Carol and I) got everything loaded on the truck and went back to the house. We managed to get the truck unloaded into the garage.

This morning I managed to lug about 70 tons of solid oak headboard followed by about 40 tons of solid oak footboard into Kathy's room. I then proceeded to disassemble her Bed, box spring and free standing frame. I then assemble the new frame. The problem occurred when I fit her boxspring and mattress on the frame. It was too narrow by roughly and inch so it wouldn't fit correctly without falling off. I managed to slide the rails inwards to what would fit a full sized boxspring and mattress and then proceeded to place the queen sized stuff on TOP of the rails. This worked. Or at least as far as I can deal with it.

How do I keep from strangling Kathy when she said this evening "Why don't you drill holes into the headboard and footboard (No drill), Drill holes into the rails of the old frame (no holes and still no drill), and screw on the headboard with screws (No screws)?

:bnghd:

Hmmmmmmmm........... Now this is makin' me do some thinkin' and stuff........
Like old snowy has alot of dust on it and stuff. Let me grab that fancy bottle of windex, and a really cool paper towel and stuff.
A little spritz, and some wipin'...... Oh yeah, that's what I'm talkin about. Ole snowy is really shiny and stuff!
Mmmmmmm shiny..............
Let me give that really shiny crystal ball a good shake and stuff.Wind her up, give her a shake........ Ahhhhhh........ Now I'm ready to do some good predictin' and stuff!

You talk about two women, a bed, drillin', and screws and stuff. I don't see any correallation. This is gonna be like tough predictin' and stuff.
Hmmmmmmm........... a hundred plus tons of wood bein' like assembled.

Hmmmm..... Ok like I'm lookin to ole snowy and stuff. That fancy wind up thing is helpin' me do that thinkin'..... Oh yeah...... Let me sing along to get in that predictin' mood........

'Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say.....'

Mmmmmm...... that snowman is lookin' really cool with all that snow and stuff.... Mmmmm

'Rudolph with your nose so bright.......'

How not to strangle Kathy, how not to strangle her........

Wait! I got it!

Get a couple woodchucks and a beaver! Yeah! They'll like eat up alot of that wood! And like you can make them do some fancy wood carvin and stuff! Oh man this is such good thinkin'! Like you can make them carve that headboard into really cool shapes and stuff
Who needs a stinkin' drill when you have woodchucks and a beaver?! Yeah!
And like you can get a couple of those fancy bendy drinkin' straws, and a couple fluffy socks and like make a really cool pair of handcuffs and stuff.
Then like you light up a scented candle and tell her you want to show her a surprise. Take another really fluffy sock and blind fold her. Then you take those really cool bendy straw & sock handcuffs and handcuff her to that bed. I bet she'll be so surprised!
Then let those woodchucks, and beaver out the back door so they can be free. Those really cool woodchucks and beaver will be so happy!

Then you go back upstairs and put out a table full of her favorite food. Sit down and eat that food in front of her, and say "Who needs a drill now?"
I bet in a week or two she won't give a darn about that bed crisis and stuff. Yep no stranglin' needed and stuff.

Oh man. I love you brain.

Oh I can say it allright, but that's unfortunately as close as the might EAGLES will come. I hate to say it. I really do, but Ole snowy says the giants.

Uggh.

That's what my gut says too. The Giants are tough and a repeat is very likely.

But still....I gotta hope.

Hey there lombozo. I have a tough one for you.(or at least it is for me) This one shouldn't really require much predicting, more along the lines of advice.

My brother-in-law( a U.S. Marine) has just returned from his second tour in Iraq. We are throwing him a surprise welcome home party on Saturday. A party which I have been asked to DJ. I was wondering if you could tell me the best possible song to play when he comes in?

Thanks in advance,

JesterMan

I need as essay topic for a position paper, sir. Something profound. Major is in anthropology, English minor.

Societal issues are always good but guaranteed some have been done to death like: communism, socialism, capitalism, woman's rights, abortion/pro-life, theism/atheism, etc, etc.

This is where I'm having problems, something that hasn't been beaten to death that won't make my prof sigh and roll his eyes as he reads the opening paragraph.

I need to be able to write at length about it, expand on a unique angle or as much as possible, develop new ideas to contribute and obviously have it be engaging to read.

Is there an alter I'm supposed to sacrifice a goat or something at to make this work? Thx you great Lombozo, I leave my future in your hands.

Oh mighty sage ...my question is as follows....

Will someone in the near future clone George W Bush to run Pretzel carts in the greater Huston area ? ...and if so... how many carts ?

First off, I have nothin' but respect.... I mean that.

Star Spangled Banner. Whitney Houstons is one of the best I've ever heard.
The Best Star Spangled Banner EVER

I remember that Super Bowl when she sang it. I was in a bar with a couple of my Brothers In Arms. They were as tough as they come. I won't go into details, but we had some pretty intensive training.
Anyway. In unison we stood up and saluted. Many in the bar looked at us as if we were crazy. Did I say I cared what they thought? By the time that the F-16's flew over after her PERFECT rendition of the song, we all got a little choked up.
9 of us. In a bar of strangers. 9 of us at ATENTION saluting to a tv over a table with pitchers of beer and hot wings. Close to 100 people there. 9 vs.90. Funny thing. Everyone, and I mean everyone in that bar were in unison. It was awesome.

I salute your friend. I mean that. He does what he has to do, and we are all free because of it.

In my opinion, it is the ONLY song.

Respect.
lombozo

Thank you very much. This will be the very first song I will play. I have so much respect for anyone that is willing to potentially lay down their lives in the name of freedom. There is no doubt that every single person in attendance tomorrow night will be touched by this.


This may sound a little cheesy but it is from the heart lombozo, Thank you for your service to this country.
