Hell, you're gonna have to ask Korimyr. I cant remember how it goes exactly....its been a while.

It's an old lightbulb joke.

Q: How many kids with ADD does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: Let's go ride bikes!

And speaking of mental disabilities, I just tried to look at the rate schedule (and benefits) for Contributing Members and the chart's broken. Might want to fix it.

edit: Either that was really fast or the Internet is gaslighting me.

2nd edit: Hey, what level of subscription gives you Search and New Posts access?

LOL, that's what I thought it was. A friend of mine used to tell that joke PERFECTLY. It helped that she was on ritalin I suppose..of course it wasn't exactly prescribed.

I'm actually better at telling this one:

Q: How many Vietnam War veterans does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: You don't know! You weren't there!

Actually got a little chuckle out of my Dad before he disowned me.

I've had Platinum for a while now. I'm thinking of chucking it and just going back to being a freeloader. I need some incentive to stay (i.e. a date with an admin (not including O'Sullivan or Marc)).

WEB

hehehe

Should I add "Do you want a date with an admin?" to my sig?

I wonder if I could auction off a date with O'Sullivan and have all proceeds go to the site

Just curious:

Do such formulations hold in front of a court trial in the US? No offence, but I am not sure if such understatement wouldnt be null and void here in Austria.

No offence however, just being curious...

I mean I allready tried it to explain the tax officer that I simply had pitty with those poor Polish workers and donated them a little bit connected with no obligation at all, and only because they were sooo thankfull, they made my new bathroom.... Damn the tax people just dont want to accept this... also at my new kitchen......

ummm, maybe the lawyer (O'Sullivan) will be around later. I'm going to auction him off with all proceeds going to the site. If you win him, you can ask him

Speaking of proceeds, how much did we rack up from the Moderator Calender? wphelan and I need that for beer money. We must grieve, both of our teams got the boot early.

Maybe. I'm saving up for a date with yourself. If not, I'll settle for a hot night on the town with Marc. I hear he's quite dashing.

HA! The Lord Moderator calendar did amazingly well. It was a HOT gift item for the holiday season. I think we have enough money for Pabst for all (you are sharing, right?)

I'm a cheap date. A six pack will get you far

. Hey, wait a minute...maybe I shouldn't admit that...

Actually, scratch that...I must be wined and dined and, errr...maybe I shouldn't admit that either

First, I need a plane ticket. What are we gonna do?
