  • Todays history lesson

    For those that don't know much about history ... Here is a condensed version:

    Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

    The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

    1. Liberals, and

    2. Conservatives.

    Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

    Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.

    Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

    Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. Those became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

    Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

    Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals.. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.

    Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud or Miller. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living..

    Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing...

    Here ends today's lesson in world history:

    It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above.

    A Conservative will simply laugh.

        Beer Way Back Then

        Does Falstaff rign a bell, sure rang a bunch of bells in my head back during my time at DIXIE (That's the school MR. Fenton is always talking about - he won't admit it on this message board, but word has it that he REALLY wanted to go to DIXIE, but they kept all ugly guys that wore their watches on their shouldeers out of there).
        A bunch of us "Damn Good Looking" Dixie guys would get a few cases of Falstaff, grab a bunch of those "Damn Good Looking" Dixie Sexy Girls and head out to the "Cherry Patch"... EDM -- can you figure out how that place got its name? You can have three quesses, but no one can help you.

            Pretty fun but also pretty harsh to liberals (not that I'm defending them hell no) but fair is fair

            My father once said to me:

            "An 18 year old who is not a liberal has no heart, but a 35 year old who is not a conservative has no brain."

              Here's a funny story with a point, and yes it's very one-sided (and I realize it will offend some of you. I'm not apologizing, just realizing LOL)

              Father-Daughter Talk
              A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and had grown to be in strong favor of the distribution of all wealth in America.

              She felt deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative, an opinion she expressed openly.

              One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to higher taxes on the rich & more welfare programs.

              In the middle of her heartfelt diatribe, based upon the lectures she had from her far-left professors at her school, he stopped her and asked her point blank how she was doing in school. She answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain. That she had to study all the time, never had time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn’t even have time for a boyfriend and didn’t really have many college friends because of spending all her time studying. That she was taking a more difficult curriculum.

              Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Mary?” She replied, “Mary is barely getting by. All she has is barely a 2.0 GPA, and all she takes are easy classes and she never studies.” To explain further, she continued emotionally, “But Mary is so very popular on campus. College for her is a blast; she goes to all the parties all the time and very often doesn’t even show up for classes because she is too hung over! “

              Her father then asked his daughter, “Why don’t you go to the Dean’s office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your 4.0 GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0?” He continued, “That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA, and certainly that would be a fair, equal distribution of GPA.” The daughter visibly shocked by the father’s suggestion angrily fired back, “That wouldn’t be fair! I worked really hard for mine. I did without, and Mary has done little or nothing; she played while I worked really hard!”

              The father slowly smiled and said, “Welcome to the Republican Party.”

                Hey Ron, I don't know the name of the farm. Her dad was town sheriff when she was young, not sure of the years but his name was Ej Lagoy.

                    Hey OSF,

                    I bumped into one of your ‘Damn Good Looking Dixie Chicks’ one night a short time back when I attended Classic Cruiser’s night down at the BIFF BURGER in St. Pete.

                    When I noticed her Dixie Hollins “Go Rebels” tee-shirt (sleeveless) and saw that she was in the same age bracket I asked if she remembered you and indeed she did!

                    Something about a promise and commitment made one night by the dashboard lights out in the Cherry Patch that you never kept? Says she hasn’t heard from you since?

                    She asked for your contact info but I was reluctant to give it to her cause she seemed to be carrying quite a grudge (I'm thinking a Lorena Bobbit payback maybe?).

                    I’m sorry I can’t provide the name to help you remember. She repeated it to me few times but I couldn’t quite make it out because of her not having any teeth.

                    All I understood was something like “bub..bub..bub” so I was too embarrassed to keep asking her.

                    I wasn’t sure if the problem was entirely due to her being toothless or if maybe the limited education that you guys received over at Dixie might have contributed to her inability to articulate.

                    I recalled that even the Dixie grads back then (what was it, about 30% wasn't it?) had a difficult time stringing whole sentences together so I even tried using small words but it didn't seem to help.

                    Of course the big wad of Skoal she had tucked into her lower lip probably didn’t help matters.

                    She did however let me take a picture of her so I could show it to you.

                    She said you might not recognize her because the last time you saw her back in the Cherry Patch she did have one tooth in the center which she was really proud of.

                    So wha-da-ya think? Does she bring back old memories?

                        Yep... That's Her

                        Kind of a turn on now cause that one tooth hurt like hell. After the third or fourth (No, I Didn't say FOUR) scrape from that tooth, I really thought about giving her a punch in the mouth and knock it our, but then she'd look like one of your High Scool sweethearts.

                        If you see her again,, give her my info.... I think I have something for her but I don't want to get any of that dip on me.

                        Just don't let OCALA know anything... he'll move in on anything breathing... I had to hid my pets from him several times...
