The Earth Day
Earth Day? I say it's Earth Day *all* week long. . .not month though,
because that's pushing it.
This week will be the whole "lot of winners, most of them 10 token-ones" thing.
You know the drill. Here's a bunch of 10-token winners to start things off.

I forgot to mention the crazy guy who sets up a tent every year and sells jewelry and wedding rings. He's eighty years old, has a Confederate flag on his wall, and periodically shouts "THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!". Prices are negotiable.

I can't see more than three feet in front of me right now. I'd be worried except that there's a wall in front of me.
Now, I know the disabled don't like to be treated any differently, and so I assume that goes for the temporarily disabled as well. So, I'm not going to give Goo any special treatment because he broke his ankle. Goo gets 30 tokens this week...

You know..it's true when they say that, "no man is an island" But I bet if you got a bunch of dead guys together they could make a pretty good makeshift raft.

I wish I could have taken a video of the experiences that I had this weekend on my deep-sea fishing excursion I had this weekend. Alot of old people were invloved. I could have sold this video to FOX under the guise of 'When Alzheimer's Attacks!!!!" a little excerpt:
Old Woman: "hey look everyone! A Dolphin!!"
Me: " No Miss..That's a piece of driftwood"
::time passes::
Old Woman: "Hey look everyone! A Whale!!"
Me: "No Miss...That's also a piece of driftwood"
::time passes::
Old Woman: "Hey look everyone! A piece of driftwood!!"
Me: "no actually Miss...that's a dolphin"
::silence::
Me:" Ok..I think I'm just going to jump off now and swim it in from here ok?"

10 tokens to Stotan for this post, because it seems like he gets in trouble every time he says something about the Random Game. And, here's some other winners of ten tokens.
Subject: Re: Stotan's New Thread
From: Stotan9876
I was going to make a post like "The Random Game: A handful of bored AOL users can't be wrong." But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that they probably could.

Gloria Steinam is speaking here at Stanford. I'm in charge of distributing tickets at the box office. I was planning on going, 'cause I figured she'd say some interesting stuff. Than I noticed that not one guy had picked up a ticket. And wasn't in a getting-sacrificed-by-a-large-group-of-super-hard-core-feminists. But hey, I still have two days to decide!

Sooo....you're gay. I don't like you. What if I'm gay? What if I know someone that's gay? What if MY DAD BECAME GAY AFTER THE DIVORCE AND STOLE MY BOYFRIEND AND ALL MY MONEY AND MY SKIRTS?

Would someone please share their copy with me? I'm tired of reading Civil War & W.W.II chronicles...I've also memorized the back's of Ultra Brite toothpaste, Body Vive shampoo, and other miscellaneous toiletries. I've been sick this week. Too much chocolate.

Driving on the Taconic Parkway at a rather fast clip, I got pulled over. It's times like this I'm glad I have kids. I knew I was gonna get nailed for speeding, but as I rolled down my window to give the Trooper my license, my two year old son let out his patented high C scream, my four year old started to cry that he had to go to the bathroom & the dog barfed on the front seat. The Trooper looked at the chaos surrounding
me and said: "Nevermind. Just TRY not to KILL anybody."

My father in law : "So....you've bought a house way out in the country. Where's the closest hospital ?"
me: " I have no idea."
"Where's the closest fire department?"
" Who cares...I don't have a clue."
" How far to a gas station ?"
" What's the difference ?"
" Will you still have a local number for AOL,or will you need to add long distance charges ?"
" OH DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN...I bet it's long distance !...What have I done ???"

I went to school with a genius named Gavin Veil...he was so smart ,that in the 4th grade he took apart and put back together a telephone for a science project. He made models of body organs out of plaster as a hobby,and later became a doctor.I think it's a safe bet that you're not him.......
10 tokens to an honest newbie. They're so cute when they are naive; but just wait, a few weeks, and he'll be arrogant. Not that I'm inferring that MitchRK or MissAimee are arrogant... 10 tokens to all three.

A really elegant fly has very brown cows so xenophobic sometimes I get taciturn, forgetting everything with relevance, feeling fragile, vomiting freely, resting bravely with gangrene?
Hey, it may not be funny, or random, but it took me awhile to think of, so....

I think bowling is the game of the gods. But not the dignified, Olympus-dwelling gods like Zues and Hera... I'm talking about Larry the overweight, chain-smoking God of trailer parks and tube tops.

From: MitchRK
If I say something that you don't understand, it means I'm a super-brilliant literary genius whose works are years ahead of their time, and you just aren't getting it.
Or maybe I'm just a big doofus-head.
I'm leaning toward the second explanation. Less responsibility.
25 tokens to Dante303. She's been here since the beginning, she's seen it all. I'll give you my personal guarantee, that it's worth it. . .as if my personal guarantee is worth anything.

What's a newbie?
What's random?
Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

Finally, the last of the ten tokens winners. Not only does LKiller get ten tokens, but he learned that Garlic and Oregano aren't spices (The Random Game: It's as good as an education!). . .but he didn't reply with "How is Sporty? Or is Scary better?" and that's worth the tokens in my mind.

Hey, you say that all the time... TA -- wait, I remember hearing I shouldn't do that!
Thanks to The School of Proper TAGGING, even I can now TAG properly. Thanks, TAG school!
Additionally, Chriskolak gets 10 tokens, not for his instruction on TAGs, but for...for, um...well, two people won for replying to his thread, it just seemed like the
right thing to do. That's all this week.
