rules of thumb

[Micah Cohen]

I'm collecting personal rules of thumb.

Cohen's Sixth Rule: If you're expecting a telephone call, it will come as soon as you give up waiting and leave the house.

What have you got?

MC

[Ron-P]

Just when you've got your pants around your knees on the up swing, that little sneaky fella that was waiting now wants to come out. Time to sit back down.


Peace Out~:D

[Aaron]

Ron, that was freakin' hilarious! I'm laughing my arse off here!

Aaron

[RuSsMaN]

Just the image of Ron in the, how should I say this, 'Fecal' position...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

R

[Micah Cohen]

No rules, huh?

:(

MC

[RuSsMaN]

....This is the kind of post I should be all over....

It has great opprotunities for comedy, and wise-truths.....but I'm drawin a friggin blank, esp after reading Ron's post...

R

[Micah Cohen]

OK, here's another one:

Cohen's First Ancillary Airport Suggestion: Wear a tie with baseball caps on it, but never wear a baseball cap and tie.

So there.

MC

[TroyD]

you are killin' me man!

Added to that, the only time that you will ever run out of TP in the house is when you are in a desperate situation after a quest at a greasy all you can eat deal at a buffet washed down with a few beers.....

Troy

[RuSsMaN]

Never vomit/spew/chunder in the back-yard at night, just because you can't see it now, does not mean it won't be very visible the next day.

Big steamin' pile of creamed corn and beer....there's an image....

AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers,
Russ

[Ron-P]

Baby wipes are my a**'s best friend. Betcha didn't know that. After a nice turtle turd, I get that fresh clean feeling after using a baby wipe.


Peace Out~:D

[Micah Cohen]

Try again.

Cohen's Third Rule: No matter how much potpourri you buy, your home will never smell like the potpourri store.

Can we keep it out of the bathroom & vomitorium this time?

Anyone?

MC

[Ron-P]

Sure Micah,

Ever notice when you walk into a porta-crapper that someone just had a major O-ring blow-out?

Hey, it's out of the bathroom and vomit....whatever


Peace Out~:D

[TroyD]

ever notice that there is a commandment that while traveling that a woman can NOT ever use the restroom, eat or get gas all in the same stop or even 2 of the 3?

[George Grand]

1. That delivery scheduled for sometime between oh lets say 9AM to 5PM, will come while you are in the shower. I always love getting that 8 hour delivery "window".

2. A baseball hat, worn fashionably backwards, is usually a sure sign of a complete moron.

3. If she sounds nice on the phone, or over the radio, she's tipping the scales at between 250 and 300.

4. The more lights and buzzers, the worse the piece will sound.

5. Dollar (or less) a watt. Fair price for anything usually.

See? How tough was that? Those are pretty good.

Thanks!

[George Grand]

How about the sayings that are pure bull****? Like, "What you can't see, can't hurt you." Obviously, this ******* never saw Predator. Or, like closing your eyes before you jump in a wood chipper is gonna help.

"Honesty is the best policy." Right. I have gotten the daylights beat out of me for telling the truth. Telling the truth is situational.

"A bird in the hand, is worth two in the bush." ANYBODY have ANY damn idea what this is supposed to mean? Who do you sell birds TO, IF you have /catch one?

"Better to be safe than sorry." Ever see the babes that hang out with the "safe" guys? No thanks.

"Any landing you can walk away from....." BULL****! It's a lot better if you can USE THE AIRPLANE AGAIN after you walk away.

There are more.

That saying just means that you shouldn't count on getting something until you have it in your hand.

Aaron

[George Grand]

So he could easily have said, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch." Which would have not been any better, because WHO has chickens? Maybe chicken farmers. A fine piece of country advice. What good does it do the average guy trying to date Puerto Rican girls in New York? Watch.

Puerto Rican guy - "How come you sniffing around my woman?"

Young George - "Cause she's fine, and I didn't think you were around, and I'm not going to count my chickens before they hatch."

Puerto Rican guy - "Let's go outside and I'm gonna help you count you chickens out there."

See.

How about when you lie to somebody by saying, "It's not as bad as it seems", when deep down, you know this persons problems are JUST BEGINNING to blossom, and it's really going to be a million times worse than they ever imagined. I have one of those going on in the office right now. One of the pilots got a DWI about two weeks ago. Original court date was 25 July, but I think he has the opportunity to push it back one month. The 25th was also the day his wife and two daughters were supposed to drive up to New England on their own for a vaca. It's a definite 6 month loss of license. Do you start serving the sentence 25 July, or do you let the wife and kids vaca, before SHE has to chauffeur you around for 6 months? I think I'd let the ladies vaca. Even though it means the Sword of Damocles over your head for another month. After about a WEEK of driving him back and forth to work.........

I feel bad for the guy, but he did it to himself. City boy loses his license, no biggie. Ride the subway and/or bus to work. Out here it's for real.

George Grand (of the Jersey Grand's)

[Micah Cohen]

Yeah, but is it "Puerto Rican" or "Latino" (do they speak Latin?) or "Hispanic"? I can never figure this out.

MC

[George Grand]

Language skills OF ANY TYPE are unnecessary. Just show up with that skin, and be an air breather. Nylons & heels are also a nice touch.

[lbrenner]

Well, I just didn't have a-one until voting in the "do you listen in the dark" poll. It's:

All cats are black in the dark.

[Micah Cohen]

Which could go along with Cohen's Fourth Rule, which is...

Cohen's Fourth Rule: The coffee from black coffee machines tastes better than the coffee from white coffee machines.

First Corollary to Cohen's Fourth Rule: If you don't see the dirt, it's not there.

See how this works?

Fun, huh?

Hi:

There is no sound if no one is there to hear it.:cool:

If you fired a gun in space there would be no sound.:p

[ariadne]

two drivers are better then six. someone just gave me a set of SCARY Sansui speakers from who knows when. Three tweeters? Two midranges? A 12" woofer. Acoustic stuff is OK.. Hmm, play a rock song and it's like being in a room full of blenders and f**ing cats.

[TroyD]

I procured a set of SP-X6700's a month or so ago for 5 bucks. Good garage speaks....

[polkster13]

Here is my rule of thumb,

At a HazMat scene (or a nuclear explosion), while extending my arm out and holding my thumb up, if I can see ANY of the scene outside of the profile of my thumb, my ASS is WAY to close!:p

[mjmcg]

How about rules of physics?...for instance: when the elastic in your socks wear out, the socks fall DOWN, in accordance with Newton's law of gravity right? Why is it then when the elastic in your briefs wear out, the briefs ride UP, completely defying Newton's law? I've been contemplating that one for years....

[RuSsMaN]

Vintage George Grand, in rare form.

Enjoy......

[TroyD]

CLASSIC George. CLASSIC.

not cool... see that happened to me a couple days ago, cept it wasn't my house it happened in :mad:

[michael_w]

If you don’t know what you want, it’s probably sleep.

[NCrewson]

How about the sheer stupidity of "it's always in the last place you look for it." Of course it is! Who the **** keeps looking after they found it. I can see it now:

Not under the couch

Not behind the TV

Oh, here it is between the cushions

Hmm..... Not by the fridge

Not in my pocket

[McLoki]

Applies in life just as well as the world of audio.....

Change is inherently different, NOT better.

[jcaut]

Ahh.. .The "old days".

Thanks Russ, for bringing this one back.

[jdhdiggs]

A lesson learned from a college buddy:

If you wake up only wearing her jeans and there is a broken light-bulb in your pocket and you can't remember anything, it is best to not ask what happened.

[TroyD]

*burp*

CLASSIC wisdom. Some of you guys should be taking notes.

BDT

[shack]

This is one that has always puzzled me....

If a man says something....and there is no woman around....Is he still wrong?

[TroyD]

Shack,

How long have you been married? How many daughters do you have?

And that puzzles you??? You forget to take your pills today or what?

I thought maybe there was some new scientific research or something... :confused:

The gum you're now chewing, which some one tossed in the salad bar dressing, would have to have been you're now previous favorite flavor.

At some point in life the worst Telemarketer ever will call right when you're expecting a great call.

The waiter/waitress will ask how your meals is as soon as you take a bite.

Waiter "How is you Meal?"

You "MMMM MMM MMMMMM."
