"I discovered that even if I'm dressed as a dirty filthy pirate, I can just talk like this and women will want to sleep with me..." or something to that effect...and then he switched to Matt M...hilarious...
I gotta go with surfer dudes over pirate guys....  | I'll take a surfer dude dressed as a pirate guy . . . .
No, on second thought, it's better to take the pirate guy dressed as a surfer dude.
No, wait, that could be nasty, unless the pirate is Depp.
Sigh, I gotta think about this . . . this is getting messy . . .
Got it. I'll take a surfer dude dressed as a surfer dude and Johnny Depp dressed as a pirate guy. |

This forum is squirrely today, I think I will go get my nails done....maybe my post will appear by the time I get back...
Check out this little tidbit from wikipedia about Slap Shot...(really you should read the whole thing...most of the outrageous events in that movie are based on REAL ones...)
Critical reevaluation of the film continues to be positive. In 1998, Maxim magazine named Slap Shot the " Best Guy Movie Of All Time " above such acknowledged classics as The Godfather, Raging Bull[4], and Newman's own Cool Hand Luke. Ironically, for being credited as "the best guy movie," Slap Shot was written by a woman, Nancy Dowd.
In the 2007 50th Anniversary Issue, GQ named the Slap Shot one of the "30 films that changed Men's Lives." [5] In the November 2007 issue of GQ, Author Dan Jenkins proclaimed Slap Shot "the best sports film of the past 50 years". [6]

BTW, do your kids know about this?

BTW, do your kids know about this? | He just happened to notice some swelling in his throat, but it wasn't sore, and asked his doctor about it, who sent him to an ENT, who did a biopsy. All fairly quickly. So they'll just take the tonsils and some lymph nodes too as a precaution. Won't be for a few weeks. A lot of hoops to jump through first.
NOTE to all you big tough guys out there who don't like going to the doctor. If something ain't right...get it checked out!! 
Oh, and my kids know. We are very matter of fact around here... their granddad has had cancer twice, so to them it's not a big deal. He had an operation and got better...(they live out of town so they didn't ever see him going thru radiation etc...they have no idea about that stuff). So they aren't too worried.

Thanks guys...I will break the ice now with a joke, so nobody feels guilty about being goofy after what I said...
Cancer might be scary, but THIS is truly frightening...

Also...here are a couple of songs I'd like to dedicate to the FIDders...it's Friday ya know.
After the doctor left us in the exam room, I looked at my husband and said...well...should we go get drunk? We thought maybe we should tell his work he needed to spend the rest of the day with his family... in a bar. Alas, it was only 10 a.m. But needless to say, we are looking forward to happy hour tonight.
Anyway...I heard this song yesterday and it made me think of the forum as we have all types that like to hang out here to let off steam and socialize about nothing. YES it's a country song, but I hope you'll listen to the words, it's fun.
I Love This Bar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q85rPq1u9sc
This is for a select few... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp9852hq0W0
And this is for Edie, C and me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuMmfDWMLgY

My husband was diagnosed with cancer yesterday, in his tonsil, of all places.
| Sorry to hear about that - all the best to him with his treatment, and both of you take care.
