my pencil scar from the first grade has finally disappeared

I still have mine on the back of my hand from 4th grade. The girl who sat in front of me in class kept turning partially to see the teacher and putting her elbow on my desk knocking my stuff off the desk. So I took the cork out of my inkwell and put it where her elbow would land. When she realized what I had done(ink stain on her sleeve) she stabbed me in the back of my hand with her pencil.

Dude! How old do you have to be to have had an inkwell in your desk???!!

Well, I was born in 1943. So I guess that makes me very old.

In reply to bgkast:

I've always had a thing for women with cat glasses

I was born in 1949, my first few grades had desks with ink wells in them

I was born between you guys & we had ink wells as well. I was also shanked with a pencil.

I don't think I want friends anymore. They all turn out to suck eventually.

This morning for my 5 mile commute I chose the lumbering Suburban over the CSP Miata. Because I was lazy.

Sheryl Crow sucks.

One of our company's partners is a brilliant engineer and a nice guy to boot. He also has a fairly thick Chinese accent and it gets thicker when he gets excited. Unfortunately one of his favourite sayings is "Blah, blah, blah. I have to stifle a laugh every time.

This is an indisputable fact. Very much not a confession. Please move to the rant thread.

My second favorite hot-dog is [grilled] onions and... (looks around and starts to whisper)...

ketchup.

It is also the way I eat a hot dog most often (which means about 5 a year).

Yeah, really. Like my dad used to say: 'who don't know that?'.

There are many people who like her. Some are rock and folk stars from the 60s who should known better. Dylan, I'm looking at you.

Up until about 6 months ago I still had 2 pieces of pencil lead in me from different childhood incidents...Still have one in my right forearm that I can't remember how it got there (probably stabbed from some skirmish)

The one in my sternum finally got infected (WTH) after more than 40 years ...and my wife dug it out with an exacto knife (yes, it was as unpleasent as it sounds). I got playing football in kindergarden or 1st grade and tackled a kid who left one of those big huge pencils in his back pocket. I stood up and it was still stuck in me, when I pulled it out, the lead had broken off and stayed in...oddly enough there wasn't any/much blood because I think after all the kids were finished being grossed out that I had a pencil stuck in my gut/chest (and had pulled it out), we went back to playing football. I don't even remember telling any school officials or my parents.

Wife is trying to talk me into "letting" her dig the one out of my arm. I say if it ain't causing any trouble...leave it alone...

I know where you’re coming from as my carpool partner is a super smart Chinese guy…Ph.D., six patents, bra, bra, bra.

The next time that happens, quickly say “boobguys say what”

just because Clint Eastwood said not to do it .. doesn't mean I'm going to forgo ketchup on my hotdog

Ketchup is the thing most likely to kill the taste of the hotdog, which is very good.

I'm tired of paper clips.

Ketchup on hotdogs? Your mommy must cut it up into slices for you, too?

Clint is right.

I would build this car with trick suspension and a wicked, twin turbo mill, and troll forever.

Unless you have everything to do it right (don't forget the damn celery salt!!) I just want onion and ketchup.

I foolishly answered a call from a number I didn't recognize this evening. It was a dealership satisfaction survey from Jeep. Luckily it wasn't very long. I flabbergasted the phone rep when I told him that I haven't had my Jeep serviced in a year. He didn't know what to day and started stammering. I do my own oil changes and I haven't needed any work done. Apparently it caught him off guard LOL

actually my first choice is hotdog chili and cheese … but if not available I'll put ketchup on it and have a ball
