10/2/2007 - Hot sweaty men

Posted by AngelaJames
So I'm guessing it's something that a blacksmith might use?

10/2/2007 - Blacksmith

Posted by deena
A tourist visiting old Tucson strolled to a blacksmith's shop just after the smithy had placed a red-hot horseshoe on a metal bench. Before he could be warned, the oblivious visitor picked up the shoe, then instantly dropped it. "Are you badly burned?" the concerned blacksmith asked. "Nah," the embarrassed tourist replied. "It just doesn't take me very long to look at a horseshoe."
Sorry AJ.. no blacksmiths......
Though your thoughts of 'hot, sweaty, black, men'.....was a good one. I'm still there..... mmmm

10/2/2007 - Sounds like a great story there CC....

Posted by deena
LOL...Sorry though.. nothing 'picky' about this one, but I 'dug' your answer. Very good very good.

Maybe 'that' escapee(s) managed it soley by their wits alone.....

Three convicts escape from prison. They make it to a nearby town but are confonted by a policeman. "Hey, aren't you those three escaped convicts?", asked the policeman. Thinking on his feet the first convict looked around him and said "no, I'm Mark, Mark Spencer", "The second followed his lead and said "My names is William, W H Smith". The third said "My name is Ken.....TuckyFriedChicken"

10/2/2007 - Oh Snowy as if :-P

Posted by cherylgraham2
Even I wouldn't say an outdoor dunny or an IUD *Big Grin*

Here we go, this is my guess for the night.

It is a metal wedge used to split wood and it is above or sitting on a piece of a redgum log.

It's Chezza by the way.

------------

Larry the woodworker called his boss and said: "Hey, boss I'm not coming to work today, I'm really sick, I got a headache, a stomach ache, my leg hurts, I just can't make it in."

The boss says: "Larry I really need you today. When I feel sick like that I go to my wife and tell her to give me sex. That makes me feel better and I can go to work. You should give it a try."

Two hours later Larry the woodworker calls again: "Boss, I did what you said and I feel great, I'll be in right away. By the way, you sure got a nice house."

hi dee - sorry I don't play the guessing game as I have a very short attention span and can't concentrate for that long. I did just drop by however to let you know that my nephew looks just like daniel johns. Just saw the new silverchair clip (well for the 20th time today) and they look identical. Also that I think my son should grow his hair like the lead singer from Jet. He's pretty cool. Also I saw this cool film clip on the country channel and it's called "who took the O out of country". Man, that cracks me up every time I see it. Cat.

No (AJ posted article type) sociopathic/psychopathic axe welding smooth suits either...

Chezza well done... No 'woods' though... and am having devlish gleeful fun seeing you guys on the wrong 'tracks'.

TWO BLONDES:
Two blondes were walking through the woods when one looked down and said "Oh, look at the deer tracks."

The other blonde looks and says "Those aren't deer tracks, those are wolf tracks."

"No. Those are deer tracks."

They keep arguing, and arguing, and one half hour later they were both killed by a train.

(ooops no offence to any blondes out there..oh.. that's right - Im one too)

A very old hand rail?

And now for my joke:
The Stuttering Cat
A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students. "Human beings are the only animals that stutter", she says.

A little girl raises her hand. "I had a kitty-cat who stuttered",she volunteered.

The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident.

"Well", she began, "I was in the back yard with my kitty and the rottweiler who lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard!

"That must've been scary", said the teacher.

"It sure was", said the littlegirl.

"My kitty went 'Fffff, Fffff,Fffff'... and before he could say "Fuck," the rottweiler ate him!"

Oohhh I missed a line from Chezza's earlier comment. Yes, probably is sitting on a piece of redgum log.

Is it part of a very old manual typewriter?
Permanent Link

10/2/2007 - LJM

Posted by deena
Now that would've been a handy dandy tool in them days... I like your deductive thinking there young laddy. (Big smiles)

Bit of trivia: TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters on only one row of the keyboard.

It is part of the days (tool/aid) when things were done manually rather than automatically or processed in a factory. Hang on a minute....hmmm... not sure if that much has changed actually with this field/subject/object.

(Bonus joke just for the heck of it! LOL)
Bilingual Dog:
A police dog responds to an ad for work with the FBI. "Well," says the personnel director, "You'll have to meet some strict requirements. First, you must type at least 60 words per minute."

Sitting down at the typewriter, the dog types out 80 words per minute.

"Also," says the director, "You must pass a physical and complete the obstacle course."

This perfect canine specimen finishes the course in record time.

"There's one last requirement," the director continues; "you must be bilingual."

With confidence, the dog looks up at him and says, "Meow!"

11/2/2007 - So if I tell you a joke do we finally get to find out what it is?

Posted by AngelaJames
The Farmer Who Fell Off The Roof

"How did it happen?" the doctor asked the middle-aged farmhand as he set the man's broken leg.

"Well, doc, 25 years ago..."

"Never mind the past! Tell me how you broke your leg this morning."

"Like I was saying... 25 years ago, when I first started working on the farm, that night, right after I'd gone to bed, the farmer's beautiful daughter came into my room. She asked me if there was anything I wanted.

I said, "No, everything is fine."

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"I'm sure," I said.

"Isn't there anything I can do for you?" she wanted to know.

"I reckon not," I replied.

"Excuse me," said the doctor, "What the hell does this story have to do with your broken leg?"

"Well, this morning," the farmhand explained, "when it dawned on me what she meant, I fell off the roof!"

Oh I certainly hope the game doesn't 'last' that long...but you know it can't be discovered without your (everyone's) weird and wonderful guesses. Then I can hide some mysterious cryptic clues in the reply.... until.......... Well, I hope no falling off of roofs or breaking legs are involved.

I just read your admission regarding the redgum log. I believe I should be awarded half a prize for that guess, as you didn't exactly say which part of the photo was the "What The" did you or did you??????

You know that object just seems so familiar to me, but I just can't come up with an answer that hasn't already been said. Yes I did spend a bit of time on it over night, but I see my suggestions have already been taken.

Is it a flintstone and I don't mean Fred or Wilma! or I do mean Fred and/or Wilma if they are the correct answer?

Miles of smiles,
Chezza <:-)

Q: How is Saddam like Fred Flintstone?
A: Both may look out their windows and see Rubble.

11/2/2007 - Another guess

Posted by cherylgraham2
A spike used to anchor railway sleepers onto train tracks.

A very well used silver stake used to kill vampires. I knew I had seen it some where before, in my chest!

I am now going to be sneaky and ask you an offline question as I don't want to be continually heading down the wrong track.

Yeh you guessed it,
Chezza <:-)

Permanent Link

11/2/2007 - Chezza......LOL

Posted by deena
I quite agree with you - I need to definitely concede some reward points (or is that frequent flyers) to you regarding the 'redgum' omission.

I, actually, lost some sleep over this realisation, and hope this, aids in some small way towards (gleeful) vindication/payback (over this entry or What The?s from past) hee hee.

And as such, I need to read your comments here very carefully... readin' readin' readin’...(two long hearty comments….some 20 mins later)..still readin’ - don't rush me. ha ha But damned if I'll let myself slip again by giving you the 'shaft' with the wrong answer or an incomplete lack lustre reply.

Ok.. 1. Funny how it seems somehow vaguely familiar. I know many from our age bracket and up would no doubt recognise it immediately once you know what it is.

2. Yes got your niggly query over my 'directions' and have replied (luckily...before seeing your comments; otherwise I'd feel twice as guilty ha ha). There are some cagey cryptic clues lying within the commas. Not 100% guaranteed, as I tend to overuse them, and which garden path they lead to, I cannot answer…dunny destination or otherwise.

3. For the umpteenth time (shesssshhhh LOL): No stones; no kidney stones; no throwing stones; no flint stones. No Freds, Wilmas or Rubbles. No Barnies either LOL.

4. No silver stakes to slay vampires...(ooohhhhh I would've enjoyed that as a What The? entry.. hmmmm).

5. No anchor points securing railway tracks. No railways. No trains; no tracks, this time.

Phewwww... I hope I got everything this time or you will want to severely 'kick' me up the behind.

(Biggggggg smiles)
Dee

What The? Quilt we’ve made so far:

Little bit o’ country
Little bit o’ soul
Forgotten piece of redgum
No Rolling stones

No silver, no chairs
or vampire swords
No backs no axes
But a new piece forged

No tracks, no lines
No mower blades
No magnets or aeroplanes
That was the last stitch made

But wait.. there’s more
