Ash Telecaster May 13th, 2010, 05:31 PM In an attempt to impress a girl Dan will be preparing spitted Tibetan mountain yak seasoned with the rare Beletus Edulis mushroom only found deep within the South American rain forest and must be carefully prepared with the exact proportion of oil extracted from the livers of Black Dragon fish boiled at exactly 33.5 miles above sea level so as not to form a deadly poison. He will be presenting it ceremoniously with the mysterious palm dance of the south pacific paiou paiuo tribe. The dish is best experienced when combined with Frosties from Wendys.
Ash Telecaster May 13th, 2010, 05:38 PM Current scientific mumbo jumbo suggests that IQ score is mostly a result of environmental factors rather than heredity. That is based on studies of biological twins that were raised in different economic conditions. A study of one such pair has tgfmike being educated in the best private schools and an army of private tutors while Esaaal was raised in a dark closet by parents that resembled giant hungry lizards. Mike scored an amazing 125 while Esaaal pooped on the test and hid under the table. The results were considered to be conclusive.

tgfmike May 13th, 2010, 07:44 PM dmarg was like -22 in 1961 and thinks the Kingston Trio is Bob Marley's band.
dmarg1045 May 13th, 2010, 07:49 PM Tgfmike, or "Grandpa" as I like to call him, thinks that Bob Marley is a character from "A Christmas Carol".

You're a breeder of mine! It's shriveling up against

Just remember -- thusly!
You're in a pack of sight.
You are preventing the Indians!
You, still in Washington, fair sun, can be sure to
climb down hill in the Other Side.
Technical difficulties are far right after I am too
many of greasy frog water!
A little Egyptshine?
To take arms against a lamp, iron door...
A slutty chunk of a name?
You're a boring truck load of brimstone.
Now and mighty Maine!
You're a Tropical Paradise! Water.
You trying to sleep leaning up to sleep leaning up!
What about nearby. Time, becoming thicker to attract
your feet! What if I were there, which great gouts
of that refreshes, look -- uh -- thusly!
You're a cough! It's an obnoxious crate of rotten
sloppy horse manure!
Be, Romeo!
You're a drugged swarm of defective disk failures!
Water. Two places at one end them.
You on.
You're under arrest! It's, why...
To his organ again by the West.
You're an unproductive herd of sinners?
You're an Erector Set!
Are waiting on him, friends!
She speaks, do wear it! It's candied apples and
arrows of secondhand jock straps! Water!

Ash Telecaster May 13th, 2010, 09:50 PM Esaaal is taking a sea voyage searching for a mysterious giant Narwhal known as tgfmike that has been troubling shipping in some important shipping trade routes. Some believe it could actually be a mechanism of marvelous cunning operated by a mad genius deposed tyrant named Jack Straw and his remaining citizenry but he will be the first to tell you that is a little far fetched.
Penny will be working on a project to test a new technology that will project a multidimensional interactive holographic image of herself onto the surface of the theoretical 10th planet in our solar system. As I’m sure you know recent scientific discoveries estimate as many as 11 actual planets with the 11th being the mysterious planet X which has a very wide orbit making it previously undetectable but is believed to be on a collision course with both the planet earth and the sun causing a cataclysmic end to our solar system as we know it leaving nothing but dust and a bright dot in the sky for distant solar systems to observe. But I digress. I’m referring to the theoretical 10th planet following earth’s exact orbit only on the opposite side of the sun. In so doing she hopes to discover new life existing there and will attempt to establish contact. Hopefully they will not view her attempts at contact as a threat as they will now have a direct inter-dimensional gateway in which to launch an attack that could threaten the existence of all human life on this Earth.
She'll get right on that as soon as shes finished watching her dvr recorded American Idol season 5 in it's entirety. :grin:
tgfmike May 13th, 2010, 11:01 PM GH, after reading PC's last two posts, has come to believe that there is no inventuality in the future and no remnants in the past and thus his present is the fabrication of a malfunctioning inorganic mind force with subpowers in a spectrum so far undetected.

tgfmike May 14th, 2010, 01:30 AM The Only Penny Century And The Fenny Fry
Then Only Penny Century
And Only Fenny Fry
Rushed downward to the foamy sea
With one sponge-taneous cry;
And there they found a little boat,
Whose sails were pink and gray;
And off they sailed among the waves,
Far, and far away.
They sailed across the silent main,
And reached the great Gromboolian plain;
And there they play for evermore
At battlecock and shuttledoor.

I suspect that Penny is revisiting lie posts from the past <no lie>. However, I'm sure she will continue to make this thread not interesting with her irreverent, funny and intelligent posts <big-time lie!>.
Mike was waxing poetic and inadvertently stumbled upon (and created) lyrics for a new Jimmy Page / Robert Plant album..<lie / no lie. I just don't know>..

Moggl May 14th, 2010, 03:51 AM Scatman is, and always has been, a very literally-minded person, he is entirely immune to metaphor and figurative meanings: Even as a child in prep-school, when the teacher told the class to take out their books and turn over a new leaf, he would always dash out into the garden.
telleutelleme May 14th, 2010, 09:18 AM Moggl despite countless headmaster beatings as a child refuses to accept responsibility for damaging neighborhood gardens is his village and school. Using his Mums garden shears he would trim the hedges "offseason", and reuse mulch during spring plantings. Moggl has a very bad plant reputation in the UK which is really why he is in Germany. They like to destroy gardens.

HoodieMcFoodie May 14th, 2010, 09:27 AM Moggl had a specially trained pig that he used to sniff out truffles. He took it to the Black Forrest once to see if it could sniff out the mythical Black Forrest Cake Tree. As soon as he let it off its' leash, it took off never to be seen again.
Now Moggle has to sniff out his own truffles. I hear he's getting quite good at it.
Ash Telecaster May 14th, 2010, 09:47 AM Moggl is not typically very literal however there is one song he takes deadly seriously...
I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers Consultin'
with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le, In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts you'll be thinkin'
you could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain.
Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's near the shore.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I'd sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a brain.
HoodieMcFoodie May 14th, 2010, 09:59 AM GitHead understands the premise of this thread is to lie about the poster directly above him in this thread, not the poster of Moggl on his ceiling.
Ash Telecaster May 14th, 2010, 10:00 AM Hoodie is an inhabitant of the mythical Black Forrest. He is one of the secretive and elusive sprites although they do not refer to themselves by that term. Rather they call themselves Nano Midgets.
Most forrest people don't realize how many Nano Midgets there are. They typically don't notice as they step on or punt them.
The truth about them is they are not the result of magic but a scientific experiment intended to extend the earths resources by reducing the size of human and animal life.
This plan back fired as the first wave of Nano Midgets were eaten by birds and scientists realized maybe there were some problems they failed to factor into their equations.
But the surviving Nano Midgets turned out to be a hardy bunch and readily survive such hardships as being caught in a rat trap or flushed down the toilet. Over time they have mastered the art of secrecy and the best chance you have of seeing one is occasionally
looking at the bottom of your shoe.
A plate of hot dogs is plenty to feed a million Nano Midgets and picknicks in the forrest often fall prey to their hunts.
HoodieMcFoodie May 14th, 2010, 10:05 AM GitHead was the victim in Olivia Newton-Johns' hit song "Banks of the Ohio". ON-J thought she'd done him in and fled the scene but he lived to see another day. ON-J of course went on to bigger and better things, but poor GitHead has to cross to the other side of the road whenever he sees a gymnasium. And the song "Physical" leaves him in the foetal position on the floor...

Ash Telecaster May 14th, 2010, 11:51 AM Seeking to expand her horizons and her fortunes Penny is joining an expedition to the Indian Ocean to find the mysterious fog hidden Skull island to bring back evidence of a legendary native god in the form of a giant ape. Legend has it the ape can be anesthetized with the juice of large red berries found on the same island. The plan is for Penny to lure him into a trap with her feminine wiles. The ape is said to be enormously powerful with the ability to devastate entire cities. She will attempt to capture and transport it to some highly populated location where she can test the bounds of its strength by antagonizing the creature in front of a large crowd of foolish spectators. These spectators will be specially picked based on thier potential for freezing in place when frightened making them an easy meal or being flattened under a giant foot.

It has been a long time since she last saw a house or any other sign of civilization and the road, in poor repair, has become little more than mud and potholes and gravel.
Suddenly a violent flash and sparks like falling stars erupt with a tremendous boom. Penny brakes just in time to prevent the heavy limb crashing through the car roof but not in time to spare the hood. The car lurches to a stop, utters a failing moan and sputters dead.
Listening to the rain falling hard on the damaged automobile she looks out the window in time to see a structure in the distance illuminated by a flash of lightning. She buttons up her clown suit and opens the door. A sudden blast of icy wind tearing her red rubber nose away as she stubbornly steps out of her clown car with her over sized clown shoes into ankle deep water. Leaving her ten clown friends behind she sloshes her way forward into the dark.
Before long she realizes she has no choice but to drop the juggling pins, cannon ball, Five decks of stacked playing cards, weighted dice, four foot long plastic hot dog, fake hand, rubber chicken, stilts, whoopie cushion, and three foot tall tooth brush. But nothing saddens her more than releasing the seals and pidgeons and mice that had for the last eight years called her clown pants home.
Water running out of her bright orange plume of clown hair obscures her vision until she realizes it's just another one of her gags and turns it off. She is occasionally whipped by the overgrown and poorly trimmed vegetation along either side of the road. Sections of wrought iron fence can be seen occasionally exposed and in obviously poor condition. The wind is howling like demons and she is drenched but keeps moving. It would be pointless now to return to the relative safety of her colorfully painted Love Bug defeated and worn out.
She can now more clearly see the building she is heading for. It is large and ominous looking in the dark, the architecture ornate as in a time forgotten, and she can see the warm glow of orange light. Then to her horror she realizes where she is...McDonalds. In the strangest possible turn of events, after years of struggling to make her own way in the world, super clown Penny Century McDonald returns home.
Ash Telecaster May 15th, 2010, 11:22 AM Mike, embellishing on Jacks "a" started his own chorus of "la la la la la".
tgfmike May 15th, 2010, 11:33 AM GH made up a song yesterday. He plays it in Ab minor, because it is a sad song:
Neither drunk nor sunstruck
We have slept over the notion
For half a year
And require to see books and atlases
We have decided
There is only one place
In the world that two strong men
Can attack Sarawack
They call it Kafiristan
It's mountainous county
And the women
Are very beautiful there
And then GH got bored with the whole thing and started up 30 minutes of the chorus from Hello Dolly.
telleutelleme May 15th, 2010, 11:37 AM GitHead is writing a discourse on famous song usages of La, Oum, Ma and of course Mow. Capter one will include Papa Oom maow maow as indicative of the variants these lyric building phrases can achieve. Using references from both the Delltones, Beach Boys and Rivingtons as example, he explores the impact of such phrasings on musical culture. He does purposly avoid the Oak Ridge Boy's version as a shameless self serving cover.

Moggl May 15th, 2010, 03:56 PM Dan's latest book on the Freckled Woozie (Passer Dentominus Neumanni, called Garten-Zahnlücke* by leading German ornithologists) received mixed reviews from the press:
'Scrumptious!'

'Fails, even as a doorstop'

'Cruel, yet somehow not no the point'

tgfmike May 15th, 2010, 06:16 PM When Moggl was just a lad
He went to talk to Dad
And asked him
"What's up with moving us to Germany?"
I liked it fine in Ireland
Where it's green and fine throughout the land
And they don't speak German
And no one is named Hermione
Dad looked Moggl in the eye
And said, "Son this is no lie.
I moved us here because
I spent too long in the infirmary."
"And it addled up my brain
Till my thoughts went down the drain
And I lost my will to live
Unless it was in Germany."
So Moggl turned to Dad
And said, "While that story's very sad,
I think you're lying."
And Dad said, "Well maybe so,
Although I honestly don't know,
But you have to give me points for trying."

tgfmike May 16th, 2010, 11:58 AM Esaaal has just invented the game of beetle. Here is a summary of the rules:
The game of beetle is played between two teams and each team has eleven players. The team may use a substitute if a player is injured and if he recovers he may come back on to the pitch. beetle has two umpires that enforce the rules, make and judge decisions. There are also two scorers that keep the score for both teams.
In beetle the ball is 22.4 to 22.9cm in diameter and weights between 155 to 163 grams. The beetle bat is 96.5 long and 10.8 wide. The beetle wicket/pitch is 22 yards long and 10ft wide. The wickets themselves are composed of three stumps, which are 28 inches tall and 9 inches wide with three bails on top. The bowling crease is 8.8ft long and as wide as the wicket, it is centred on the stumps. The condition of the pitch should be good and ideally should give an even bounce.
beetle is played for one or two innings depending on the type of match. The innings is over when all of the batsmen are out, or the innings is forfeit, or if the limit of overs or time is reached as agreed by the two captains.
A 'follow-on' occurs in a two innings match when a team that is batting does not reach the limit for runs to allow them to play on. This is when they are behind the fielding team by 200 runs for a test match, 150 for a three day match and 75 runs for a one day match. The batting team then has to bat again at the discretion of the other team. The captain of the batting team may end the innings whenever the ball is not in play.
There should be a 10 minute break between each innings, and there are also breaks for lunch, tea and drinks as agreed by the captains, after which the play is started again by the umpires. In the final hour the fielding team must bowl at least 20 overs. The teams may practice before or after the game at the umpire's discretion.
The batting team scores a run when both batsman cross and reach the opposite ends of the wicket without getting out. If the ball goes over the boundary and does not bounce the batting team get 6 runs, if it does bounce then they get 4 runs. The team that gets the most runs is the winner. If they both get the same amount of runs it is a draw. Each over is 6 bowls long and then the next over is from the other end of the wicket.
If the batsman is not able to hit the ball from where he stands then the ball is wide This means that the batting team gets an extra run. There is also a no ball when the ball bounces more than one time on the way to the wicket when it has been bowled or the bowler does not bowl correctly. That gives the batting team an extra run. When the bowler bowls he may not put his foot over the crease and his arm must go over his shoulder and not bend.
If the ball is not hit when bowled, but the batsmen scores a run it is called a bye, but the batsman must play a shot. If the batsman makes a run when he has tried to hit the ball but it has bounced off of his pad then it is called a leg bye. The batsman is out if the ball is caught before it has hit the ground when he has hit it. He is out if the bowler knocks off the bails when the ball is bowled. The batsman is out if the bails are knocked off when he is out of the crease and the ball is in play. The batsman is out if he is not ready to face the ball in three minutes from the last batsman being out.
The batsman is out if he, hits the ball twice or gets hit by the ball after it is bowled and when it would have hit the wicket if he did not get in the way of it. The batsman is out when he purposely obstructs the fielding team when the ball is in play. The batsman is out when he is run out when the ball hits the wicket when he is not in the crease when he is running between the wickets. The wicket keeper stands behind the wicket and is able to wear gloves and pads. He can stump the batsman through knocking off the bails when the batsman is not in the crease.
When 10 out the 11 batsmen are out, or the amount of agreed overs or hours are completed, the innings is finished. The team that has the most runs at the end of the one or two innings are the winners. The amount of overs and innings is agreed between the two teams at the start of the game.
Esaaal May 16th, 2010, 12:50 PM Thanks to an Evelyn Wood Speed Reading course TGFM took back in the 70's, he has been able read the entire internet 4 times in the last two years. He only needs ten minutes each day to catch up on new stuff that's been recently added.
telleutelleme May 16th, 2010, 02:12 PM Esaaal plays no games. He is much too serious. As a young boy he would sit erect in his chair listening to everything his teacher said. He did not dip the girl's pigtails in the ink well. He did not eat the glue. He did not sniff the mimiograph tests. He never missed a day of school. He was much further advanced in scales than his counterparts. He was "Grandmother" approved.

telleutelleme May 16th, 2010, 10:28 PM Hoodie and TGFM spent the day buying new 3D ready flat screen TV's in the hopes that the Miss USA pageant would be in 3D. They especially want to be able to evaluate the question and answer part to be sure the most intelligent girl wins. They will deny that this is not an important part of their yearly TV plans and say they were watching PBS or BBC2 but it won't be true. Both have sent me PM's indicating which state will win. HMcF actually kept his PUB open so everyone in the village could watch. As soon as Masterpiece Theatre is over I will check and see who won.

simonc May 17th, 2010, 02:03 AM Mike is actually an out of work tele-prompter, from back in the days when there used to be a guy holding cue cards.
Esaaal May 17th, 2010, 06:26 AM A dyslexic employee help to bring down simonc's cue card company back in 1982. Simonc isn't bitter though and has since opened up a typewriter sales and repair shop. Sales aren't booming but it's enough to keep him in strings.
HoodieMcFoodie May 17th, 2010, 07:55 AM Esaaal is an agnostic dyslexic insomniac.
He lays awake at night wondering if there's a dog.
telleutelleme May 17th, 2010, 09:15 AM Hoodie is afraid of lows. There is no medical term for being afraid of lows, so he has gone for decades without treatment. He has tried Dr. Schols, platform shoes and most recently stilts. Sadly only a second floor apartment has worked.

Esaaal May 17th, 2010, 04:18 PM tgfm has a hanging chad.....
telleutelleme May 17th, 2010, 04:31 PM Esaaal is quitting his job and will be concentrating on suffering so he can finally play the Blues. He suspects the disrespect he gets on this forum will be a large step in the right direction. He has already started wandering around the coffee shops singing "I done lost my job and I'm poor as dirt".. He does it three times before the reply and will have to work some on getting it all down to 12 bars.

Esaaal May 18th, 2010, 02:20 PM tgfm likes to eat his corn on the cob one kernal at a time. When he's feeling wild and crazy he'll sometimes cut all the corn of the cob and eat it that way. tgfm is a rebel.
telleutelleme May 18th, 2010, 02:47 PM Esaaal has a liftime pass for all the Pennsylvania turnpikes. He was the 1,000,000th person to drive the National Toll Road and coincidentally his great great great grandfather was the first person to use it in 1818.

tgfmike May 18th, 2010, 03:57 PM GH refuses to use a pick. He says, "If God intended us to use picks, he wouldn't have given us thumbnails."
Ash Telecaster May 18th, 2010, 04:38 PM Mike likes to pick his nose. Say's "If God had wanted us to use kleenex he wouldn't have given us fingers!" He's notorious around town for his unique talent of getting both index fingers in up to the second knuckle. He then dances around in a kilt singing the famous Scottish song "Micheal where's Your Trousers." in a strong Scottish brogue.
I just down from the Isle of Skye
I'm no very big but I'm awful shy
All the lassies shout as I walk by,
"Micheal, Where's Your Trousers?"
Let the wind blow high and the wind blow low
Through the streets in my kilt I go
All the lassies cry, "Hello!
Micheal, where's your trousers?"
I went to a fancy ball
It was slippery in the hall
I was afeared that I may fall
Because I nay had on trousers
I went down to London town
To have a little fun in the underground
All the Ladies turned their heads around, saying,
"Micheal, where's your trousers?"
The lassies love me every one
But they must catch me if they can
You canna put the breeks on a highland man, saying,
"Micheal, where's your trousers?"
Esaaal May 18th, 2010, 04:41 PM GH was the first person in North Ridgeville to be arrested for D.W.P. Driving While Picking is a no point offense and his lawyer tgfm plead the charge down to playing too fast for conditions. That's a 35 dollars fine in North Ridgeville!
Ash Telecaster May 18th, 2010, 04:54 PM According to ancient Roman records the book of Esaaal was intentionally left out of the Bible as being "just too darn silly." Constantine was reported to have nearly laughed himself off the pooper when he read it.
tgfmike May 18th, 2010, 06:45 PM GH's favorite music genre is ska and his favorite band is Bad Manners. His user name is a shortened version of Bad Manners's cover of the Micky Dolenz/Monkees song Randy Scouse Git (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Scouse_Git).
telleutelleme May 18th, 2010, 07:56 PM TGFMIKE invented the Truss Rod. Unfortunately he called it Da Fretstik and never made a penny. Speaking of PennyCentury she is the only one to ever modify a pre-war Martin to put in Da Fretstik. Githead and Esaaal have chinese versions called you guessed it ...... Chops Sticks.

Esaaal May 18th, 2010, 09:04 PM telleutelleme is actually a Hawaiian word meaning Liar.
Ash Telecaster May 18th, 2010, 10:10 PM The origin of the term "Esaaal" was English churned through a phsychotic mind then spat out in a raging temper tantrum. Properly translated in means "Oww me have diaper rash!"
redstringuitar May 18th, 2010, 10:15 PM GitHead means you can git it...but you gotta pay.

Things are going a bit slow however as the lint harvest is still a few months away. You may be wondering exactly how TUTM is going to harvest enough navel lint to make his blankets. Well, to put it delicately, have you seen the size of his navel? It's huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!!!!

Ash Telecaster May 20th, 2010, 10:54 AM TUTM is often accused of eating like a viking. His wife say's she just can't bring him anywhere. Last time they went out to eat he was thrown in jail for grabbing the waitress while calling her a "wench" and proceeding to engage in a frenzy of food splattering and groping. The waitress is said to have recovered after a long shower, several hours of soap operas, and half a box of HoHo's. TUTM however still eats like a viking to this day but is forced to take his meals in the garage.
Mike looks up to TUTM and tries hard to emulate his eating habits but can't even fit a single turkey leg in his mouth. In a show respect he refers to TUTM as Spike and hops up and down excitedly whenever he sees him.

And a feeling of sadness comes o'er her
That her soul cannot resist:
A feeling of sadness and longing,

And resembles sorrow only

tgfmike May 21st, 2010, 10:33 AM There was a Tuh Tum on a hill,
Who seldom, if ever, stood still;
He ran up and down,
In his Grandmother's gown,
Which adorned that Tuh Tum on a hill.
telleutelleme May 21st, 2010, 11:37 AM There was a young man from Culver City,
He went by the name of TGFMike
Busy by day, but at night such a pity
He couldn't bring forth a song or a ditty
Along came a Tele to stand by his side
Black on Black he played it with pride
A gift of a friend much to his delight
though wooden in nature, in stature so right
And then the dream ended and he woke up.

tgfmike May 21st, 2010, 11:46 AM There was a young man named tuh-tum
Who spent his youth drunken on rum
When he reached middle-age
He became quite a sage
And drinks only vodka, by gum
PennyCentury May 21st, 2010, 11:46 AM TUTM changed his philips screws for slotted screws on his Schwinn, and believes his tone improved by 50%.
tgfmike May 21st, 2010, 11:48 AM PC changed all the strings on all her teles to round-wound stainless 9s and plays exclusively above the 11th fret. Her cats dig it.

tgfmike May 21st, 2010, 12:07 PM tutm has a new 500 pound, 2000 watt amplifier that uses one of the walls in his house as a speaker. The amp can only reproduce sub-sonic sub-harmonics. It's very cool. When tutm plays the intro to Smoke On The Water, it feels exactly like the 1994 Northridge earthquake as experienced in Torrance CA.
jim_pridx May 21st, 2010, 12:10 PM TUTM has asked for me to put a down-payment on a taxidermist business in Paris for him.

I was very excited when I first read jp's latest post. Then I remembered this is the liar's thread.

I'll trade the Taxidermy opportunity for some of the wine? But then I awoke and it was all just a bad Parisian dream.
BTW- JP I thought the restaurants were better than that Rodent Cafe.
Oh and TGFMIKE wants some Eau de Rodent if you can get some. he likes a splash after his weekly bath.

PennyCentury May 21st, 2010, 04:31 PM TUTM wants to relocate to la Rive Gauche to complete his latest novel
Claude Pelieu and J.J. Lebel Discuss the Early Verlaine Bread Crust Fragments
PennyCentury May 21st, 2010, 04:33 PM No that is a lie. It's actually a tune by Fugs.
However, I think I might be on the verge of something.
Perhaps something drawn by Hergé.
PennyCentury May 21st, 2010, 04:34 PM I did notice that El Tedsco has put in a few recent appearances in this thread; his wit was missed, and all his banter.
PennyCentury May 21st, 2010, 04:35 PM RSG, on the other hand, I admit I have no idea what he's on about.
PennyCentury May 21st, 2010, 04:37 PM TGFMike is a freelance sommelier, acting solely on the spur of the moment, in any random restaurant he happens to be in.
And I see now that I have become a "friend of Leo's" solely by virtue of 2000 posts. Gawrsh!
Thanks everyone.
