We were talking about something like this today. We used to have rattlesnake round ups every spring and summer around here but these have either gone away or gone underground because of pressure from outsiders. They have not managed to shut down the noodling tournament but are working on that too. For you city boys noodling is catching catfish with your bare hands.

The Moose dropping festival in Talkeetna! Peta killed that one


What, were they dropping meese from helicopters, or celebrating poop? If dropping meese from helicopters I can understand, but how do you define poop cruelty?

Maybe PETA killed the moose. People Eating Tasty Animals.

Watch out plumbers, your next. No more male or female fittings and nipples are history for sure.

One of my favorite non-insults incorrectly taken as an ethnic slight is the phrase "get off scot-free." Many have taken this as an insult to the Scottish, fueled by the old stereotype of them being cheap. However, "scot" is a Middle English term for "tax" and so it merely means getting off tax-free. Has nothing to do with Scotland!


OTOH, the term "Paddy Wagon" is common parlance for "Prisoner Transport Vehicle" and nobody seems to mind. Of course, in many cities the Paddys were driving the wagon as well as being the passengers. "Taking the best of the worst jobs" was an Irish tradition.

Another long lost job... paperboy. I used to have a paper route on my bike every day, but now it's been taken over by corporate and their (under)paid adult drivers.


Yes, I had that one as well. I was one of the last paperboys for our local paper. They fired the lot of us and hired a guy in a car to do the delivering. So much for having the paper right on the doormat every day! With a couple of my customers I even opened the door and handed the paper directly to the customer so they wouldn't have to get out of their easy chairs!

I grew up in Nevada. The bars never closed. For that matter, neither did the supermarkets. It was very jarring when I went to college and found that I couldn't do my grocery shopping at 2:00AM!

Yeah. I'm on a couple of other auto forums and their concept of "modding" cars pretty much ends with floor mats, carbon fiber gas door trim, and, for the very technical minded, fart-can exhausts.

A buddy of mine told me that the military banned calling them dykes ten years ago. I asked him what did they call them, he said "side cutters", I laughed at the thought of them calling all the lesbians "side cutters".

There is an un-PC joke that says something about a house built by lesbians with no studs and all tongue and groove.

I make it a point to have a dry day regularly, sometimes a dry week or two.

I found it a bit shocking to go from Nevada, where they sell liquor just about everywhere, to places with state liquor stores open 9-5 on weekdays where you have to specify your libation by number.

Remember when mailmen had to wear a uniform? There are postal workers that wear shorts & T-shirts & they're driving USPS vehicles, not their own vehicles like the subcontractors.

Mailmen? That's no longer PC. it's mail, or postal carrier now. A friend explained that regular USPS carriers are still required to wear the uniform and drive a USPS vehicle. "Irregulars" (USPS employees who don't usually deliver mail) may not be in uniform, but must drive a USPS vehicle. That's why your mail is usually delivered later when a substitute is delivering.
Contractors don't have to do either.
