Ha I’m kinda in the middle of the spectrum. I can definitely queen it up for laughs and I like to fish, camp, and hike all the time. My true personality is the outdoorsy type, but I love making people laugh and entertaining. I’ve always tried to be self sufficient, hence the rambo like first aid. I lucked out having a very outdoorsy down to earth dad and my mom is one of the funniest people and she’s a nurse. I just try to be the best of both of them.
Tam: Totally know where you’re coming from! Whenever my daughter goes out, I tell her not to have sex. Of course, she’s a smartass, so last week when she went went to see a late movie with friends and I told her she wasn’t allowed to do the nasty in the back seat, she was like, “Oh, don’t worry, we were going to stay in the front.” To which I said, “Oh, okay. Well, just be careful — it’s a stick. Unless you’re into that sort of thing.”
joemo: Now that I’m nearly rid of my non-outdoorsy spouse, I’m hoping to get back into camping. Love it. A few years ago, I went to Red River Gorge in Kentucky with a bunch of guys and just slept out under the stars a mere 3 feet from the edge of a cliff where, if I rolled the wrong way in my sleep, I would’ve plunged to my bloody death, leaving a trail of intestinal gore hundreds of feet below.
Damn, I require at least a tent to keep the wild animals at bay and no cliffs. That fear of heights thingy. I did once have a herd of elk go tramping through my campsite. Kind of freaky to wake up and hear those munching right beside your tent.
Dave S.: yeah, i think it’s clear where your daughter gets it. And I’ve gone camping once. In a tent on a slight incline. in the rain. Yeah, once was MORE than a enough. If there’s not a/c, a tv, a computer and a microwave, I’m just not interested in being there. And sorry, the Skyline thing totally eludes me.
Tam: Okay, well then, I guess she IS a deal-breaker. And I got a several fear of heights too….funny, considering I’m tall. Well, not in the Craiggers’ range of tallness, but still….
It’s ok, Dave. If your career as stand-up comedian doesn’t take off, you can always do underwear modeling. You could try combining both, but ppl laughing at you when you’re in underwear would probably have a huge demoralizing effect.
Nicky/Enrico (you’re confusing me, dude): Here’s the gist — It’s from an old joke. When someone is complaining to you, you’d rub your forefinger and thumb together and ask them, “Do you know what this is? It’s the world’s smallest violin. You know what it’s playing? ‘My Heart Bleeds For You’…”
I heard it was “It’s playing ‘My Heart Bleeds Purple Piss For you”…but then I coulda just made that up myself because of the purple reference.
And Dave S., and I can assure there was no one laughing at you in your underwear. I woulda heard if there was…and bitch-slapped so hard they’d starve to death rollin’. I gotcher back.
Oh and Dave S.: I think you would want your intestines put back in your *abdominal* cavity. Where the hell would he put your lungs? (sorry, all this chatter brought out my inner wise ass).
Let me just say that although I’m very excited about going to boston on wednesday. I am NOT excited about staying late at work tonight and tomorrow to get stuff done. Now I’m all alone in the office listening to old jazz standards.
@ Craig: Thanks for the comment. Maybe if everyone had disgustingly white teeth, the the world would be a bit brighter… and a lot less ugly
@Nicky/Enrrrrrrrrrrico: That… joke (I use the word loosely. It’s not that funny anymore) is old. Everyone does it all the time when they get tired of hearing other people complain.

Hmm… I guess I’m kind of a smartass too…

It was awesome.
Dave S: You know if that happened I’d be there with a butter knife and a roll of duct tape to fix you right up.
Damn, I require at least a tent to keep the wild animals at bay and no cliffs. That fear of heights thingy. I did once have a herd of elk go tramping through my campsite. Kind of freaky to wake up and hear those munching right beside your tent.
joemo: Awww… You’d tuck my bowels back in my chest cavity just for me? That’s so sweet…
And did *anyone* get the Skyline reference? Anyone?
::sigh:: My comedic genius wasted…
(where’s jerekeys when you need him?)
Dave S.: yeah, i think it’s clear where your daughter gets it.

HUGS….
Sorry Dave. I urbandictionaried “skyline” to see if it meant something, but there wasn’t anything so I gave up
Skyline is a chili place. On their menu is different ways you can have your chili: 3-way, 4-way, and 5-way.
It’s…just not as…funny…now…
http://skylinechili.com
Well, okay, I guess that assumes that it might’ve been funny to begin with…
That one went over my head Dave. Sorry. If you have to explain it, the edge is lost. Next time perhaps.
Ha. i just got it.
It’s ok, Dave. If your career as stand-up comedian doesn’t take off, you can always do underwear modeling. You could try combining both, but ppl laughing at you when you’re in underwear would probably have a huge demoralizing effect.
I should know well enough by now to leave the humor to Craig…
David from Brazil: People do that already. Is that a bad thing…?
Or maybe it’s just a little thing…
Ummm why hasn’t anyone explained this to me yet? haha.
And what’s going on in New York? I don’t live too far from there!
Now you’re Nicky again?
What about Enrrrrrrricooooo!
Nicky/Enrico (you’re confusing me, dude): Here’s the gist — It’s from an old joke. When someone is complaining to you, you’d rub your forefinger and thumb together and ask them, “Do you know what this is? It’s the world’s smallest violin. You know what it’s playing? ‘My Heart Bleeds For You’…”
Or something to that effect.
I heard it was “It’s playing ‘My Heart Bleeds Purple Piss For you”…but then I coulda just made that up myself because of the purple reference.

HUGS…..
No camping and no boats.
Oh and Dave S.: I think you would want your intestines put back in your *abdominal* cavity. Where the hell would he put your lungs? (sorry, all this chatter brought out my inner wise ass).
John: HAHA I thought that too, but I let it slide!
Mayhap Dave S. wanted the intestines put back into his chest cavity to preserve his abdominals? Just a thought…..
HUGS…

Oh, I want a tiny violin – it would come in handy. Maybe for Christmas.
Side note: I took violin lessons for many years. I never progressed much past “Twinkle Twinkle.”
AHH! I never heard that joke before.
Is that really a joke?!
So wait… it really has no connection to Sexy Sarah?! Aww man.

How could something be sooooooo sweeeeet about a subject so revolting.
Craig, this is where you shine. Children’s books… For Adults!
HAHA, great cartoon. Sign me up … with the election coming up, I would order like a whole case of teeny tiny violins!
