Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Classic forum remarks

I got a great laugh out of a remark today and thought that I would start a thread where we could all get a laugh out of what we all say.

This thread is not to be used to insult what others say but rather is a place to laugh at the everyday, classic comments.

So, I will start it:

From: BigJohn
About: Remote Advice
There was a recomendation for the MX700 by Ray and then someone recomended the Harmony remote.

BigJohns response:
"is this kinda like cock-blocking, but with remotes?"

i think i made them mad though.. the last thing i wanna do is start a thread spat.

but i like the classic remarks idea.. bren should already be in the hall of fame. peter too..!!

bigjohn

Nobody I know got upset!

Stop it Ray, You know you're flaming mad right now cause I peed on your RX700 party....

Just kidding. Any animosity was completely projected. Liek I said, I just wanted to increase awareness about our other options.

Now, back to funny forum quotes....


Maybe we should start a new thread, since Ray and I and John have soiled this one already.

Wow... me, the Hall of Fame?

Good thing I had a speech prepared... or at least stole one from Dave Foley from Kids In The Hall...

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much! Thank you, I--I owe this honor to so many people. I--I'd like to thank...I'd like to thank my friend and manager, Ralph Himmelfarb... Thank you, Ralph. Um..um...the producers, Sid and Marty Sidmartinson for having faith in me, uh, thank you...uh, uh, I'd like to thank my director, Derek, I love you! Uh, and, and, and, and, and I'd like to thank Harold Reinhouse for his wonderful script, I'd like to thank him. I'd like to thank Hitler, and, and most of all, I'd like to thank my parents. Mom, Dad, this is for you!

Moi? My muse has been AWOL for quite some time, which I suppose means that whatever humorous effect I have had on you must be longer-lasting than a butt-print in a Tempur-pedic mattress.

Yup. Your muse IS awol.

geez, i am already doing a thread hi-jack, imagine that?

my wife and i have been waking up with soreness in our back, and we feel it is time to get a new mattress. the one we have is 8 years old, and has been flipped and turned till all the good spots are gone. so, anyway...

i was curious if any of y'all have purchased one of those select comfort type beds? the ones that are essentially large air bladders, and you can 'select' your desired firmness for either side of the bed. they seem like a great idea, but i have serious questions as to how durable and how long the bed will last.

if you have, or know someone that has one of thses beds, please post your thoughts or comments. i appreciate it.

The only draw-back I can think of, with an "air mattress" is:........sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

(By the way, B.J. I score that hijack a 9.5).

That is better than being peed upon by a waterbed mattress...

WhatFurrer

Hijack - 9.7, based on degree of difficulty.

The Russian judge continues to be a problem.

That depend on your RKF (R. Kelly Factor)

I have a question. I noticed that the word "y'all" is used quite a bit in the south. Is there a comeback to y'all like w'all or me'all.

You cud try "We'uns" Us'uns do.

and URINES.


BTW bigjohn. I tried one of those sleep comfort adjustable air beds and HATED it. I tried it for about a month and could never find a setting that worked for me. My brother had the same experience with his.

We have an air bed and like it pretty well. Ours came with a 20 year warranty which is better that almost anything else. One recomendation I can make is to get one that has the sleep number feature so you can gage what works and what doesn't. Its hard to gage otherwise and the firmness of the bed will change over time and with changes in temperature. NOt a big deal but its really helpful to have a numerical indicator of where the air pressure is.
Then next issue is what kind of topper is on the air bed. This can range from almost nothing to pretty fluffy pillow tops and different densities and thicknesses of memory foam.

Whatever happened to waterbeds anyway....they don't seem nearly as popular as they were years ago. Was it the leaking effect that got to people?

The porn industry cornered the market.

bray & md55- thanks for the honest comments on the air beds. we were looking at the one on tv, the select comfort, which does have the gauge to let you know what setting you are on. we gotta try something cause both of us are having chronic back pains, and they are at their worse when we get out of bed.. now, i am prepared to blame some of it on our older age, but i also think the bed is having a big part in it. i guess we will continue to look, and see what is out there.. although, i have been tempted to try the 30 day trial like you did bray.. are there and penalties with that?

zarak- i have one friend with a water bed. i had to help him drain and move it last spring when he bought his new house. he swears by it, and says he cant get a comfortable nights sleep on regular beds. my parents used to have a california king waterbed back in the 80's. i swear, it was almost like an ocean.. but after two leaks, dad decided it wasnt worth the liability.

i did go to funkytown with my girlfriend on it one time when my parents were out of town, but i didnt care for it. it was hard to get a good rhythm with the waves, and nearly impossible to get any traction for the short strokes. just my opinion!!

bigjohn

This is another thread that should probably be allowed to die a natural death, but the trick is to hook your toes under the edge of the bed frame. That solves both problems.

We had company here this past week who was raving about the TempurPedic mattress they bought 6 months or so ago. She said that she didn't want to spend the money but is sleeping better now (she's had chronic back proplems almost her whole life) and her husband who is 6' 2" and probably 300lbs has never slept better in his life.

FWIW......

Wait, that usually quiets people up...

Bren R.

Sorry...I've been sick the past couple of days...

What does TMI stand for?

WhatFurrer

Too Much Information...

apparently, bray dont want to hear about my short paddle..

bigjohn

There are just soooo many things I could say right now, but I think I'll just leave it alone. Dont want one of those quarterly performance reports ya know.

coulda been "Three Mile Island." it did sound like bray was having a meltdown there!

Wow. You guys did that ALL without Peter helping. I'm impressed!

kcarlile:
Haven't we heard about some Halo problems with humming sometime in the last 6 months? I could be wrong; don't want to start a firestorm here...

Response marksjohnson:
I've heard that they now have, indeed, learned the words......
