“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” – Albert Einstein
“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” – Andy Warhol
I think Alan Parsons Project said it best…
Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river
To the sea
Goodbye my love,
Maybe for forever
This verse probably means a lot to Stuck right now. Hope I didn’t tread on you but this song came immediately to mind when I saw the title…. Chip
Like Zero Hedge, on a long enough timeline…
Goodbye my love,
The tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
Till it’s gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
Death, time, stalks us all…
Chip
One thing about time and aging is both can combine experienced quick thinking.
An elderly farmer in Florida had a small pond down by his fruit orchard. One evening he decided to go down to the pond and took a five gallon bucket to pick some fruit.
As he neared the pond, he heard female voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw six young women skinny-dipping in the pond. Being a gentleman he made the young women aware of his presence, and they all stayed under the water hurrying to the deeper end of the small pond.
One of the women shouted to him, ‘We’re not coming out until you leave!’
The old man, who was at the shallow end of the pond standing by all the woman’s clothes thought for a second and said, ‘Don’t worry ladies…I didn’t come down here to watch you swim or to make you get out of the pond naked, I didn’t even know you all were here….ahhh…tresspassing by the way.’
Holding the bucket up high he said to them, ‘I’m here to feed all the ALLIGATORS!’
The sudden charging screams were loud…and the frantic running jiggling an amazing sight to behold.
Moral: Old men can still think fast…and still enjoy the beauty of the female form in motion.
LMAO! Very funny Mark. Hope your homestead building adventure is proceeding according to plan… Chip
SmallerGovNow,
Well a bit delayed buddy…lesson learned, but clearing trees (into mountains of mulch) soon. However, never, ever, leave your wife alone with the architect…400 extra square feet, including a walk in closet big enough to play racquet ball in, unexpectedly appeared.
But, as my mate has occasionally reminded be…life and marriage is full of negotiations…so we ended up with only 200 moar square feet…but after the horse trading was over I realized that is what she probably just wanted from the very beginning.
However…she said she more than deserved the racquet ball court sized closet.
I asked her why?
She came in real close, grabbed me by shirt collars, pulled me into her, gave me a wet kiss…pulled back staring deep into my eyes and then softly whispered…
“43 years with you has been like a day at the beach”…then violently pushed me away and yelled, “NORMANDY!”
I couldn’t argue.
(Plus, I have always wanted to play racquet ball.)
Just glad it was not another Juan joke…thanks..
Has Mark been telling Juan jokes? I shall mark that down, 3 bad marks and he’s out of here.
EC,
These skits are a hole in Jaun! (Nikt, this is future FF material).
mark aka mickeywop….
MickeyWop:
Noun, singular. A racial slur for “Irish-Italian American,” or Iretalian. Combines the slurs “mick,” meaning someone of Irish descent, and wop, or Italian-American (wop being an acronym for “Without Papers,” used to describe Italian immigrants who showed up at Ellis Island with no paper identification). The slur can be sung to the Mickey Mouse Club theme with little difficulty.
M-I-C, K-E-Y, W-O-P! Mickey Wop, Mickey Wop… (That’s what they were really singing at the end of Full Metal Jacket)
Your name is Angelo O’Malley? Man, your parents should have just named you Mickey Wop.
Tommy Mangialardi drinks like a fish, swears like a sailor, fights like a Tasmanian Devil, flirts like Casanova, and cooks like the Galloping Gourmet. He’s the ultimate Mickey Wop.
(And he packs a .45 and an M1A like all Bommer Nam Vet MickeyWops).
Please be aware there are Marks here, a few marks here, at least one marc here and even a few marx here.
TBP is an equally opportunity bitchfest and slurrathon for all sorts of marks.
In case your forgot, Beaner. (Love ya.)
I don’t know if the beaner saw these, mickeywop, but they are based on Juan funny concept.
Calling EC…I’m hitting the sack…but I put two vids up for you buddy!
Mickey/Wop
an oldie but goodie
Time. You have all there is. Use is wisely.
The future is always coming
Though it never stays for long
The past is always leaving
we’re another day behind
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
I was sure glad to hear 70 is the new 40……. I’m just a pup. 🙂
Do not squander time… For that is the stuff life is made of.
Nobody posted the Chambers Bros. Their musical interlude sounds like an enactment of hell to me.
Just yesterday I was saying to a young man, things have gone pretty slow up to now but once you hit 30, you speed up and at 40 you are in 6th gear and you’re zooming down the highway.
where you been taco tico?
You look gorgeous, senorita! May I assume those boobs are real? I’m a grandpa again?
Hey! There’s a picture of me and Otto too. My Otto.
Her Otto is cute. She has a decent pair but not red rope rack rank.
I saw a rack I ranked as top shelf red rope milkers on FF.
Udder joy: Italian man is world’s best cow-milker
An Italian man has won the world cow-milking championship in northern Italy.
Gianmario Ghirardi, 31, won the title after milking 8.7 litres of milk from his cow in two minutes, La Repubblica reported.
You see why I married an Italian?
and you give me shit for posting shit
good point
He is so adorable. If he wants “Little Stinky” bunny, he can have her.
Cool
