...when you were a kid?

My best gifts included

Johnny Reb Canon
22 single shot rifle
410 single shot shotgun
Stingray Deluxe bike
Mitchell 406 spinning reel (and rod)
Stingray Fastback bike

Bop A Bear (motorized bear that, when shot with the companion dart rifle, changed direction)

Gilbert Chemistry Set (wow, to think I could've made crystal meth!)

Houston Astros warm up jacket

Schwinn Sting Ray

Radio Shack 100-in-one electonic circuit board (you could wire together your own AM radio, and do a bunch of other cool things with it)

Man from UNCLE gun set (complete with triangular badge, silencer, wallet, etc)

Soap

Diane
Lisa
Kathy

Good point Turd Sensor. That last post was unappetizing! If you're successful in silencing him, you could be called a Turd Censor, too.

Fifth Jack Daniels

Half Gallon Smirnoff Vodka

150 Proof Rum Cake

Beer Nuts

One Swedish made penis enlarger pump

"Bring It On" DVD

KY Ultra Warming Gel Personal Lubricant

Complete DVD set of old Rawhide TV Series

Do you think that Tim wrote the above post?

Twas not me but as I read the list...the pump, the KY...DVD's of Kirsten and Clint (in black and white) I could make a couple evenings out of it.

Bone to pick with CC Potato. Saw Pride and Prejudice this evening and you cast me as the diminuitive minister? I think our friend Zubie would be more suited for the role. I don't need to be Wickham nor a speaking part but couldn't I also be a British Leftenant. My ancesters were limey's you know.

That Johnny Reb cannon just illustrates a point: When we were kids, the boy gifts were always better by far. What gift for girls even compared to a Johnny Reb cannon? Can't think of one. Would that be called Penis envy? The girl gifts were mainly visual but didn't do anything. Girls didn't get cool stuff like electric trains or things that exploded, but I'm not bitter. I did love the Barbie dolls and related paraphernalia; and there was a beautiful baby doll that looked so real, it brought out a little motherly instinct.

I still wish i had my Johnny Reb cannon...or my Monkey Gun that was 3 guns in one... or my chemistry set that we made chlorine gas with that sent me to the emergency room..or even the grenade you could load with a cap and wipe out a machine gun nest full of Krauts and Japs with ( the Axis powers were pretty rough on Darnell).

There are plenty of girls' action toys out there. You've just got to log onto the right websites. Googley Googley Goo.

My life sized Kimber Doll.

There's nothing like a Johnny Reb today for boys OR girls because it's Confederate and can damage anything within 35 feet. I saw the movie premiere Narnia last week and St. Nicholas makes an appearance. He reaches into his sleigh and pulls out gifts for the four Pevensie children and the gifts are WEAPONS!

Nothing but nothing beats a good fire-fight...lock n load and lets rock n roll!

You smell that? Do you smell that?... Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

Weapons for Christmas, how terrible. Did the four Pevensie children like their gifts? Did they use them in the
movie?

The Pevensie kids fight the White witch and her forces of evil, symbolic for Satan and his minions. Some Christian denominations have tried to remove any talk of weapons and war from hymnals and worship services, but weapons are used in the Bible to metaphorically fight evil. So toy weapons for kids at Christmastime are appropriate if you look at it that way.

Careful there Mr. Memorex. You complain about your bad part in the movie, you get an even worse one next time. Believe me I know this.

I think you would do a good job imitating Mr. Collins' speech patterns. And there's something about Collins' version of the world that is Bradburyesque. A certain fascination with his own inner life. Totally at the feet of Lady Catherine the way Tim is toward Clint Eastwood.

Weapons for boys for Christmas?...of course, rifles, shotguns, pop guns, cap guns, swords knives and bow/arrows...what do what us to give them?, hair dryers, purses and make-up mirrors?..or some video game to play so they can grow up to look like a grub worm and say OUCH! when somebody looks at them wrong?

Burt Wheelers
Specs
Pack n Sack
Hooters
O'Malleys down on the corner

Spec's is my temple.

Peace on Earth, Goodwill toward Men... and a Lankford Grocery cheeseburger with a Lone Star Beer. If Stump made cheeseburgers, this would be what they would be like.

Specs downtown Houston is great, both for food and spirits. Nice verse Dane, where is Lankford Grocery? A greasy old cheeseburger sounds good right now, too early for a Lonestar.

You picked a fine time to cast me Lucille...
Well all right...I reckon I shouldn't be turning down character parts. I'm going to have to watch it again on DVD and re-assess the character because I honestly can't say I saw any of my idiosyncracies the first time.
How about Scorpio in Dirty Harry...there's a role I could sink my teeth into.
Can Mac and I have parts in Brokeback Mountain? We know what it's like to be saddle sore.

Lankford Grocery is right down the street from Spec's on Dennis street and not far from where you work. It is not much on the outside( or inside) , but they can cook some serious burgers. Google it and I will meet you there one day next week... Zuber's treat

Isnt that Broke Back a sports movie?..ive heard that somebody gets to be a passer and somebody gets to be a receiver..hey, thats cool, just because they have sex doesnt make them gay just real good freinds...

And that's what you are Mac...a real good friend. Who else would have shown me the true meaning of the word Rawhide.

Dane...all these years and I never knew Mark had a grocery store.

I like Lankford's Grocery too and I like the location, an old part of town near Montrose. I enjoyed a burger and a beer there one day after visiting the blacksmith down the street, Bill Peck. Take a walk through his shop and see some of the most beautiful wrought iron and metal work done in Houston. If Lankford's is open in the late afternoon, it would be a good meeting place on a pretty day in lieu of Woodrow's.

ML;
Make reservations for next week. It is obvious from the postings on the DB that Tim has no victims and Mac has no Ciactuationing to do. I know Wint, Zuber, Zindler, Jansa, Dealy, Stephens all work close. Let's meet around 1pm on Wed or Thursday. You make the call.

Even though the phone will not be ringing ill be here at work on Thurs and Friday wondering how yalls burgers are tasting...

Dane I'll be in San Antonio Tues Weds and Thurs, showing my Illini niece and nephew the Alamo, then returning Friday. My sister will be with me so if ya'll have a happy hour Friday Jan 30th, let us know. Like Mac, I'll be wondering how the burgers are tasting too.
BTW, is Dealy an imaginary character on this website?

Big Sis:

The kids really want to spent quality time with their favorite Aunt. Why don't ya'll go without me and I'll spend those days with Tim and Mac.

Roger That BF. Send the kids off with Blondie and you, me and Mac will party like it's 1999.

Bill J, I had a Stingray just like that gold one!
I got if for Christmas in the 5th grade & rode it until I got the yellow racing bike in the 7th grade, with that painful bar down the middle!

BF?...Barbara Finck is that you?...omigod!..the toast of BHS!..the hottest girl whoever graced the ivy covered walls and halls of dear ol Bellaire U...i have to tell you, you were the girl..the un-obtainable goal..the tippy top of the peak..where ever you went, the other girls hid their faces in shame...i have alot of nerve, or so ive been told, why just the other day some lady said to me, " the very nerve!",... but i never had the nerve to ask you out...
If youre coming to town, dump the kids with their aunt and well pick up Timbo and well get crazy...
Signed,
Love, Macbo...
PS, i havent seen you in 30 years, i hope you still look the same...if you dont please dis-regard this post.

Hi Mac:

It's good to hear from you. I would LOVE to get together with You and Tim. I just need to figure out what to do about my older sister. She's always been a little territorial and once forbid me from seeing any of "her friends"
I'll think of something and let ya'll know. If only my sister wasn't so jealous.

MAC - WHAT A STALLION. Just a few posts back you're entertaining ML for the evening and cooking breakfast the following morning. Now you're all over ML's sister!? Stand back everybody, Mac is sprayin' the DB.

BF, lets keep this on the down-low...well ditch her somehow...well pick you up in Tim's white Chevy Impala...well fight over who's ridin shotgun and who's ridin bitch in the middle.

Im spraying this DB like a tom cat...

BF BF...no sweat...we'll just do what we used to do. We'll come over pretending to see MLFC and then when she kicks us out when her date arrives...we'll double back and see you.

By the way...if your riding shotgun and Mac's in the middle...please don't duck down like you used to and make it look like two guys are riding together sitting close side by side.

Tim, Mac; what is wrong witch chou two boys?

Don't worry Tim. I learned my lesson from ducking down the last time and listening to ya'lls lewd comments.
But we sure had fun though. I remember coming back from a fun time with you guys and seeing Meredith come home from her dates VERY frustrated.

BF is that you?

Come on Barbara. I know I was more fun than anybody just by looking in the mirror.
