The Three G’s

 

Cast your mind back to the spring of 2000…here is a peek at a valiant effort to start a new thread when we had been driving the same three topics into the ground for some time…some things just never change, do they? 

 

jk informs us that he has had enough with his post titled “The Three G's”.

 

jkstraw_01:  I'm talking about Gays, Guns and God. (No, you aren't one of them G!) We've been fixated on the "Three G's" for quite a while and I'm beggining to take it personally! Hell, admitedly, even I'm losing interest in talking about the gun debate! That's a first for me.

 

So, I propose other "G" topics:

 

1.) Gore (or G.W. for that matter)

2.) Guaranteed Student Loans

3.) Gasoline Prices

4.) Gorganzolla Cheese

 

Any others?

 

Enter domer.

 

domer_10:  Gargantuan egos. Lol.

 

Barnaby joins in.

 

Barnaby_t:  Gorganzolla? I should have expected that sort of liberal tripe (or should that be rind) from you, you Clintonista!

 

A retort from jk.

 

jkstraw_01:  Yes. Right up your alley Domer!  :)   D'oh!

 

Hussy takes the thread to a new level.

 

HATEbarHUSSY:  Goiters - Gin and Tonics - Gravy Boats

 

I would actually like to hear about how these three G's are related.

 

Graciously,

 

Huz

 

censorship gets serious…

 

censorship_sux:  Guaranteed Student Loans.....

 

I like that one. So what should the government do when a person defaults on the loan?

 

Right now they garnish tax returns etc. Is this justified?

 

I think so.

 

??????

 

…and playful at the same time.

 

censorship_sux:  An old woman with a goiter drinks Gin and Tonic for lunch and has a gravy boat in her cupboard.

 

The doctor is in.

 

Barnaby_t:  HATEbarHUSSY,

 

An insufficiency of iodine in your gin & tonics can lead to goiters but by added ordinary table salt (enriched with iodine) to your gravy and served in a gravy boat can help aleviate the problem.

 

Hussy lays down the challenge.

 

HATEbarHUSSY:  That can not be the best that can be done in here on that one.

 

Waits for the more creative minds in here to work their magic.

 

jk can’t resist…

 

jkstraw_01:  I do not know how they are related, but I will offer the following:

 

goiter: a diseased condition of the thyroid gland characterized by enlargement of the gland; seen as swelling in the front of the neck.

 

So, I start the debate of "goiter" by firmly stating my position and strong belief that it is a bad thing.

 

domer is back in the game.

 

domer_10:  Going down on the President.

 

Meanwhile, Hussy bids a fond farewell.

 

HATEbarHUSSY:  Goodness. I hate to leave just when it's getting interesting, but I must dash off.

 

I look forward to returning to some posts of interest.

 

My apologies to our illustrious founders for diverting from politics for my own amusement. Surely you're used to it by now.

 

Barnaby’s “’G’ is for Governor with a Future” post is directed to jk….

 

Barnaby_t:  Have you a governor who might/should be tapped for a vice presidency under Bush or Gore? My governor, Paul Celluci (R), doesn't have a prayer because of the national embarrassment of the Big Dig (despite the fact that he's had nothing to do with its failure and actually did some needed firing recently). Wisconsin's Tommy Thompson's (R) been itching for something like this but, being frog-like and widely known to have cheated on his wife for decades.

suggestions?

 

Jane shows us how to answer posts with a Canadian twist.

 

Janefinch:  While sipping on a gin and tonic and reading "The Adventures of that Madcap Louis Riel and his Merry Metis Men", I stumbled on an obscure footnote about the fact that poutine was invented in the Red River Colony, not Quebec. I thought, Damn Quebecois, taking credit for something they didn't invent...got so worked up, my goiter started throbbing. Now, believing everything I read on the internet, I fixed myself a mess of poutine, using Louis' time-honoured recipe, cause I read that great lashings of gravy soothe goiters and wild beasts. Of course this is at the same site that I read Bigfoot is buried in Ohio, so I don't know...do you think they made it up?

 

While Barnaby replies to jk...

 

Barnaby_t:  Jackstraw>>>"Goiters...are a bad thing."<<<

 

Just like a liberal- always telling people what to do with their own body! What if I find goiters to be beguiling? Hmmm?

 

Back to the boring – I mean, the serious post content.

 

jkstraw_01:  My inside sources tell me that Bush is leaning towards Gov. Tom Ridge of Pa. I wouldn't rule out Gov. Pataki of NY either.

 

Gore: I've heard Tom Richardson being mentioned. Also John Kerry of Ma.--but I don't think that the Democratic party will allow two Harvard "elitists" on the same ticket!

 

Another answer for Barnaby

 

censorship_sux:  ***Wisconsin's Tommy Thompson's (R) been itching for something like this but, being frog-like and widely known to have cheated on his wife for decades.***

 

And this makes him different from Clinton how???

 

Jay’s contribution to the fun…

 

JayC28:  NEWSFLASH:

 

Al Gore has said today that he wants to offer guaranteed student loans to ALL Americans. He said that tying gasoline prices to the amount it costs to purchase a pound of gorganzolla cheese, multiply it by 100 and everybody gets that amount!

 

We hear from another member.

 

nicetigerr:  Where is the candidate with vision? How about FREE college? Studies have shown that a university degree will earn you prox a million more in money during your working life.

 

That translates to prox $500,000 in taxes, fees, permits, etc that the govt will collect. The education, if provided by the govt, would be free.

 

Too deep a concept for us to grasp? Rather import skilled workers from abroad?

 

Jay is having a lot of fun…

 

JayC28:  A recent study being done on lab rats has discovered that drinking large quantities of gin and tonic out of gravy boats greatly reduces the risk that you will get a goiter the size of a football. It also discovered that low gasoline coupled with eating gorganzolla cheese along with drinking gin and tonic from a gravy boat, greatly reduces the chance that you will turn into a human robot like Al Gore.

 

And a word from Mark…

 

CnyMark:  It also disallows vacationing in Grenada, Grenoble, Greenwich Village, Greenland,......

 

python answers Hussy’s call for creative magic.

 

pythonesque529: Goiters - Gin and Tonics - Gravy Boats

 

Granny likes her gin and tonic but she also happens to be an endocrinologist who studies goiters in her majik gravy boat...

 

Barnaby replies to censorship_sux.

 

Barnaby_t:  cen_sux,

 

If you're expecting me to defend Slick Willie you are mistaken. I take adultery very seriously.

 

 

Well…it was a good try, jk.

 

 

The End
