  1. those of us who are over 30 should be dead, and here's why...

     

    according to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 50's, 60's, and the early 70's probably shouldn't have survived...

     

    our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead based paint. we had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. (not to mention the risks we took hitchhiking.)

     

    as children, we would ride in cars with no seatbelts or air bags. riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

     

    we drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. the horror!!!

     

    we ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing.

     

    we shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this.

     

    we would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. after running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

     

    we would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the street lights came on.

     

    no one was able to reach us all day...NO CELL PHONES!!!...Unthinkable!!!

     

    we did not have playstations, nintendo 64, x-boxes, no 150 channels on cable, video tape movies, surround sound, personal cell phones, personal computers, or internet...we had friends!!!...we went outside and found them.

     

    we played dodge ball, and sometimes, the ball would really hurt.

     

    we fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits from these accidents...they were accidents, and no one was to blame but us...remember accidents?

     

    we had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over it.

     

    we made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms, and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever.

     

    we rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or rang the bell or just walked in and talked to them.

     

    little league had tryouts and not everyone made the team, those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.

     

    some students weren't as smart as others, so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade.

     

    horrors!!!

     

    tests were not adjusted for any reason.

     

    our actions were our own.

     

    consequences were expected.

     

    the idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of, they actually sided with the law. imagine that!!!

     

    we had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. remember responsibility?

  2. opening spray and having to go talk to my boss or HR becaue of something that was posted is REALLY irritating.

     

    so you go online at work and get caught, and that irritates you??? confused.gif

     

    its your own damn fault for doing it in the first place rolleyes.gif

     

    you cant blame anyone else for your own actions...

  3. trask WAS spray, and the rest of us just jumped on the bandwagon. granted lately he wasnt quite up to par, but the old school trask made spray what it was, and was why most of us checked it out every day just to see what he was ranting about.

     

    im not defending anyone here, just pointing out the obvious...

  4. Did you hear that Michael Jackson and Tonya Harding have decided to begin training racehorses together?

     

    She's gonna do all the handicapping and he's gonna ride all the three-year-olds.

  5. Thinks an income tax refund is a gift from the government.

    Will drive to an unemployment protest meeting in his Toyota.

     

    Will travel across the border to buy cigarettes and return home for subsidized cancer therapy.

     

    Believes the Free Trade Agreement is an agreement about free trade.

     

    Considers turning up the thermostat an integral part of foreplay.
