I have the right to respond even if it bothers me. You are here to moderate conversations and stop people from saying inadequate things, not to tell me what to say. Thank you. 864579[/snapback] I never said you did not have the right to respond, I said you did not have to respond. I never told you what to say. And I am not here to just "stop people from saying inadequate things." Thank you.

Do I have to deal with this idiotic idea, AGAIN? :banghead :banghead :banghead 864567[/snapback] No. If it bothers you, there is no need to respond.

Odd. If you are able to access and post in this forum, you should be able to do so in the rumor forum. Try going through this link.

Try again, it seems to be working just fine.

Since this has gone waaayyy off topic...

All threads involving trades that have not been officially announced by the teams/quality sources, are to be posted in Rumor Central. Rumors posted in the regular Marlins Forum will be closed.

Two rednecks, Bubba and Cooter, decided that they weren't going anywhere in life and thought they should go to college to get ahead. Bubba goes in first, and the professor advises him to take math, history, and logic. "What's logic?" asked Bubba. The professor answered, "Let me give you an example. Do you own a weedeater?" "I sure do," answered Bubba. "Then I can assume, using logic, that you have a yard," replied the professor. "That's real good," the redneck responded in awe. The professor continued: "Logic will also tell me that since you have ayard, you also have a house." Impressed, the redneck shouted, "GAAAAAAWL-LEEE!!" "And since you own a house and a house is tough to take care of by yourself, logic dictates that you have a wife." "Bobbi Sue!! This is incredible!" (Bubba is obviously catching on.) Finally, since you have a wife, logically I can assume that you are heterosexual, rather than homosexual," said the professor. "You're absolutely right! Why that's the most fascinatin' thing I ever heard of. I can't wait to take this here logic class." Bubba, proud of the new world opening up to him, walked back into the hallway where Cooter is still waiting. "So what classes are ya takin?" he asks. "Math, history, and logic," replies Bubba. "What in tarnation is logic?" "Let me give you an example. Do ya own a weed-eater?" "No." "You're queer, ain't ya!"

well it was Alabama and Mississippi they were talking about.... I mean they really don't even have schools down there yet, do they? :shifty 849093[/snapback] Of course, Florida's education system is sandwiched between those two states. Guess we will not be seeing any Toyota operations here either.

American Medical Association researchers have made a remarkable discovery. It seems that some patients needing blood transfusions may benefit from receiving chicken blood rather than human blood. It tends to make the men cocky and the women lay better.

A store that sells husbands has just opened in Ottawa where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is comprised of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flight of stairs. There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building. So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: "Floor 1 - These men have jobs". The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?" So up she goes. The second floor sign reads: "Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids". The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?". And up she goes again. The third floor sign reads: "Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking"."Hmmm, better" she says "But I wonder what's upstairs?" The fourth floor sign reads: "Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework". "Wow!" exclaims the woman, "very tempting. BUT, there must be more further up!" And again she heads up another flight. The fifth floor sign reads: Floor 5 - "These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak". "Oh, mercy me! But just think... what must be awaiting me further on?". So up to the sixth and highest floor she goes. The sixth floor sign reads: "Floor 6 - You are visitor number 3,456,789,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at Husband Mart and have a nice day".

A circus owner runs an ad for a lion tamer and two people show up. One is a good looking, older retired navy chief in his mid-sixties and the other is a gorgeous blonde in her mid-twenties. The circus owner tells them, "I'm not going to sugar coat it. This is one ferocious lion. He ate my last tamer so you guys better be good or you're history. Here's your equipment -- chair, whip and a gun. Who wants to try out first?" The girl says, "I'll go first." She walks past the chair, the whip and the gun and steps right into the lion's cage. The lion starts to snarl and pant and begins to charge her. About half way there, she throws open her coat revealing her beautiful naked body. The lion stops dead in his tracks, sheepishly crawls up to her and starts licking her; feet and ankles. He continues to lick and kiss her entire body for several minutes and then rests his head at her feet. The circus owner's mouth is on the floor. He says, "I've never seen a display like that in my life." He then turns to the retired chief and asks, "Can you top that?" The tough old chief replies, "No problem, just get that lion out of the way."

20 Today 838725[/snapback] Have a good one! As for me: XCIX

Have a great one, d00d!

And the price is such a bargain as well :thumbup

Nugget, I love the name you have on that pic. Pure gold :lol :thumbup

I'm crossing my fingers for #341 823133[/snapback] That's it HC, aim high! It should read: I'm crossing my fingers for #1 823133[/snapback] You da man.

And Marlins, post count has nothing at all to do with being influential. There is a member who is a real nobody on this board, probably with only about 100 posts. I'll guarantee if you ask Admin, that 100 post guy is one of the top ten most influential members.

Who the hell is furmangator, big hugg, etc.? Someone explain them (and whoever else) to me? What made them anything special? I guess I wasn't around for them. 822024[/snapback] Hugg was great. furmangator was pretty cool, even if he did have strange tastes in fashion...pink shirts and plaid shorts? j/k

Look at it this way, I was 17 when I lost my flower 821133[/snapback] The question is what you've planted since then. a n y w a y . . . Have a great one, Chewbacca!

Guts - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: "Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?" Balls - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass and having the balls to say, "You're next."

Have a great one!!
