The Everyone's Welcome Thread (even Canadians, SEO experts, and oldies..you get the idea).

[DU]

I thought I'd start a new break room thread. The great thing about this thread is you can say whatever the heck you want (except adult) and it's ON TOPIC.

All you have to do is post whatever is in your head when you are here. Simple.

Here are some acronyms we like to use:

YPSBT Your Post Sucks Big Time
YPITDB Your post is the dog's bollox
LPOD - Last Post of Day
FPOD - First....
SPOD - Second.
FPOTWN - Funny Post of the Week Nominee

Grace Delete / DefaultUser / WorldsWorstDomainer will personally thank EVERY SINGLE post in this thread UNTIL someone says something about post count and gets too obsessed about reputations and starts gaming the system etc.

^ That has happened so no more ...was fun while it lasted.

Johname will personally LIKE every post in this thread until he doesn't

No racist, sexist, homophobic material that woudnt be acceptable in the 70s please.
We are ok with boobs and we are ok with men with abs (or whatever it is that makes them attractive). Ogling is healthy. Violence, not accepting that it is shallow and non-meaninful judge of people etc. is not. The most important virtue of this thread is respect for all.

Here are some topics that this thread has had:

The following subjects are
BANNED

So Kardashian related material is not allowed - even gratuitous boobs or bums because no one wants to see or hear about them.

POLITICS OF ANY KIND IS A NO NO.
Especially if it is demeaning to the liberal elite or the conservative morons.

I suppose Anarchy is ok

I AM PERSONALLY UNDECIDED ON SOME POLITICS so things like the below?
I think the crowd should decide.

We are also lady and animal friendly

Well, depending on many factors I am sure....
My internet company, Century Link....I am locked in at one price for life...only thing that can go up are taxes...and the buttons in this little city voted for a damn 1% increase in sales tax....
DirectV also locked into price for life....unless we go for a new package, blah blah blah.....again only taxes increase....see above.

Now the following is an example of people not using their puny brains, not knowing economics, and believing the stuff they are told about buying locally.
Gas is $2.549 per gallon here....now up the street about 13 miles, $2.17 per gallon.
So guess where I go to fill up?
But the people here tell me I am not being helpful to our little city by not buying my gas here!
I said, you would rather stay here and pay that high amount instead of driving to another city and saving 30+ cents per gallon?
So one tells me, look at how much you are spending and wasting driving there and back....geesh.....

Do the gas stations sell same quality of gasoline?

 

[iowadawg]

Same gas stations....or convenience stores....lousy competition here in Iowa....hard to find independently owned stations....
What happened is another convenience store chain is moving into this part of Iowa...and grand opening prices started at 2,17...forcing every other convenience store to drop prices....so then they dropped to $2.12 After a week, prices still down at that level.

I forgot how many different blends of gas there are, adding significantly to the price of gas, but I woulda thought by now Iowa would be running all there cars on 100 percent moonshine with so much corn and all.

Iowa has: 10%, 15% and 85% ethanol blends.
85% is the worse one for mileage, but the cheapest.
15% is really the best for mileage and is a bit cheaper than the 10%.

Texas... where you can fill the tank of your Backroads Expeditionary Vehicle with $1.99/gallon gas, and get a pretty decent BBQ Sausage sandwich at the same time.

Was that at a Rudy's?

 

[iowadawg]

Son said at a Valero station not far from his house.
So far, that is the lowest price as everyone else is around 2.02 per gallon.
Now that is regular unleaded gas....
Which here in Iowa is around $2.86 a gallon!
Like I said, here in Iowa damn little competition.
If Casey's goes up a nickel?
Then QT, Git n Go, Kum & Go, all jump up the same nickel!

On hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Jenny went straight round to visit her grandmother.

When she asked how her grandpa had died, her granny explained, "He had a heart attack during sex on Sunday morning." Horrified, Jenny suggested that having sex at the age of 94 was surely asking for trouble.

"Oh no," her granny replied, "we had sex every Sunday morning, in time with the church bells."
She paused, and wiped away a tear.

"If it wasn't for that dang ringy-ding-ding ice cream truck going past just as the church bells were ringing, he'd still be alive."

Sorry, but the above does not work.
The post office can and does legally toss out prepaid envelopes that are stuffed or too heavy.
So you can't get carried away in filling one, plus nope, you can not put such an envelope on a brick.
The recipient of a prepaid envelope pays the same amount.....
But nice try there....

Also you might be charged with “abuse of the mails.”
