I find it funny and a bit warming that you got the "open-marriage" thing
from my comments. I mean, in this short time you have gotten to know me
quite well - as that was where my brain was when I thought of that
sayings - BUT

Even with you description I still the the saying falls short of logic.
If you have your cake you should be able to eat. I know when ever I've
had a cake, I've always been able to eat it too. - AND

I still am curious if anyone can think of other silly or seemingly out
of place sayings. I can think of a few that are just real old that
still get used even though the things they refer to are no longer
relevant.

Well said Peachy - people with prejudgement often make excuses for why
they have a right to hate people. A black guy robbed my family so all
them are bad. A Mexican guy I knew was always lazy, so all Mexicans are
lazy. We have to take everyone at face value and if someone is a jerk,
they are a jerk, not everyone like them. So one lesbian wanting to cop
a feel of your breast, or even a few that may have hit on you also does
not mean all of them are on the prowl for you (refering to an earlier
post full of face punching anger). But everyone has to live in their
own skin, walk their walk, and even the negetive energy and hatred seem
to have a place in the world, so I will do what is right for me. I just
think the world would be a better place if people could soften their
hearts a bit. If someone gives you a crappy situation, deal with it and
move on.

No templter, you are mean because you called someone you don't really
know a queer ass based on a nickname. You've only posted a few times
and you start with getting an attitude with partyfag - I guess because
you think it is OK to slam on a gay guy. I'm not sure why you thought
that was OK. Maybe you will explain.

I don't think I'm a cat person. I think I am not an animal person. I
prefer them to do their thing without involving me. So dogs rule. I
like cat because I have nothing to do with my cats. We have a mutual
respect in my house. They stay away from me and I try not to kick them
walking through the house. I also have way to much respect for a dog
spirit to have another one. The last one loved me so much and it simply
annoyed me. He was a good doggy, but as I said, I'm just not a good
owner.

templter - that was uncalled for.

Regarding Brit - I think everyone could see it, but it seemed more
polite to back off and let it drop - and so I did. I'm thinking we
won't see much more from Brit anyway.

I hope the subject drew you in, but the idea will make you post.

I hate saying I can't understand or don't make sense. I was walking
this morning and I was thinking about various things. I thought of
something that made me think, "well, I can't have my cake and eat it
too, I guess". Then I thought, "what the hell, why can't I eat the cake
if I have it?".

So, if you can think of any of these stupid sayings that don't seem to
make much sense, please feel free to share them. Also, if you can
explain the logic behind having your cake and not being able to eat it,
please proceed. That saying is totally non-sensicle to me and I have
used it a million times and never thought of how dumb it was.

I have to say these are all sort of sad - I mean thinking of the way we
and other kids are treated sometimes is horrible. What doesn't kill us,
makes us stronger I guess, but I think it is what drives me to be a more
reasonable parent -

I never had this one happen to me, but I use this to remind me how silly
the parenting logic can be sometimes.

A parent smacking their child and saying "don't hit your brother (or
whoever), hitting is wrong". Boy talk about a logic loop.

Yeah, that was the other thing that peachie reminded me about - sleeping
by my feet. I could not roll around in bed without kicking that damn
dog. It really got me annoyed. So having to get up and walk the dog
right away, walk in the cold, walk in the rain and snow, the dog would
escape the fence if I put him out back, and he would not stay clear of
my feet when I slept. He really loved me and was very loyal and he just
ticked me off. So - fair to say - I'm not a dog person.

I'm going to get blasted for this one, but I'll be honest -

Jeneane Gerafalo (sp?)

I don't like most "sexy" women. The whole model/starlet image really
does nothing for me.

I've always like the weird girls and the "quirky" good looks.

Carol Cane, Patricia Arquette too.

I have two cats - Jezebel (a black female cat) and Smokey (a grey female
cat). Both are very low maintanance.

I had a dog once, but I wanted to kill it for all the times it needed to
be walked in the rain and the cold - and first thing in the morning, and
chewed up my kids toys. So I figured out I was not repsonsible enough
to own a dog, and the dog deserved better than me. that lasted about 3
months. Sad really - he was a cute little guy, but as I said - he
deserved better than me.

Chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomatoe, and mayo. Side of fries and 3
beers.

I can tell now. It is a traffic thing. If you post down there you
won't get seen, where in the general forum you get the chance everyone
will look. If I was moderating the board I would move these - but I'm
still a new guy and not the boss. Please disregard my complaint.

I'm not trying to be uncool here, but don't we have a section on this
board for Songs, Poems, and Lyrics? I see people post that down there,
but we also seem to post them anywhere.

I now comprehend. It would be good in the future to mention that you
were getting private messages that you didn't appreciate. I would have
understood right away. I apologize for butting in.

Tricky area to be sure. You are just about to enter into a place where
you say you are wanting to trust and be with someone for the rest of
your life, but then you want them to think about if you break up, and
agree not to take what is not rightfully theirs. I can understand
protecting yourself, but I can also see how it could kill a great
relationship asking for that to be signed. It wouldn't take a dishonest
person to be hurt and decide that is the proof you don't even trust them
prior to marriage.

Boy, do I feel lucky to be in my current situation.

21 years together, 19 of the married. Knock on wood.

I have a hard time seriously answering after the ones before me refering
to the hair pie - but here you go -

French silk pie (which is choclate cream, but lighter really)

Taurus is the spelling, but hey we are not that picky here - but since
mentioned being unsure.

I drive a 02 Subaru Imperza WRX and a 03 Kawasaki ZRX1200R.

Yeah, I'm not sure about all the anger. Was there some sort of
proposition off-line or something. I think he was just announcing to
everyone the pictures were hot. How did this become "I don't want some
40 year old picking me up" - Like I said, if he was bugging you
privately, I appologize, but here in public he just said the pictures
were hot.

I'm not starting a fight, but just trying to figure out why you thought
it was something that should make you mad???

TV is bad and evil -

And I watch it all the time. ;)

I have TiVo, so I have a few favorites I record and watch when I have
time.

The Office is great. I like the old show Just Shoot Me. Great writing
on that show - very funny and a great use of David Spade. Scrubs use to
be a pretty funny shoe too, but it lost its edge for me.

Opiate for the masses, I've heard it called. Dumbing us down so we keep
quiet. There are much better things to do, but sometimes I don't want
to do anything.

Cheers,
Dave
