That's the same problem I had Woofer so I just voted for the index finger. My way of trying to even it out.:dance:

[Jon]

*raises a certain finger to sleepydwarf*

[Lady_Macbeth]

Thumb. Really, who doesn't?

[ClicheGuevara]

the thumbs have it by a long shot!!

[Unfound One]

Thumb!

[gromit]

thumb is for remotes

index is for turning pages

[Odetta]

There is no vote button for both equally, so I can't vote.

ETA: I got in the 19th vote for thumb. :thumbsup:

[Odetta]

OK, I don't understand... my remote is really long (snicker) so I have to use my index finger just to turn on my TV if I hold the remote in the middle. Doesn't anyone else do this????

[jayson]

Must be some special Canadian remote. :P

[Jean]

Bears always use index fingers to press any buttons. It's because they derive great pleasure in pressing buttons, with the index of the right paw. I don't know how I can describe it, because I can't compare it with any other feeling. I've loved to press buttons (with the right index, or there's no fun at all) since I was a very little cub, and it never grew old. I love elevators and mobile phones for the same reason - especially old ones, where you can really feel what you're pressing.

(Not pulling anyone's legs now. Bears really truly adore it.)

[Odetta]

*spank*

[ClicheGuevara]

well this is weird. . . I just tried using my index finger and it was easier! you index finger pusher's may have change my mind!

[Daghain]

Sometimes. 99.9% of the time I use my thumb, though.

[sleeplessdwarf]

Do you index pushers hold it in one hand using the index of the other? I tried holding it my regular hand and using the index but it is too uncomfortable trying to get to the bottom half of the controller. :orely:

[Girlystevedave]

Thumb
I'm not a weirdo. :lol:

[flaggwalkstheline]

huh I think I brought this up in the evolution thread....
The younger generation (under 35 is an estimate) has started having a selective evolution due to the use of video games: our thumbs have superceded our pointer fingers as the dominant appendage

and for the record I use my thumb 2

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Mostly thumb, but it depends on which button and the width of the remote.

[gsvec]

I use both depending on the remote design. For the smaller ones, it's definitely the thumb but for the bigger ones, I can't hold them and punch the buttons with my thumb so I use my index finger. :P

And yes, Brice - I have one of those "longer" ones, too. :lol:

[Jon]

thumb is for remotes

Middle finger is for driving! :evil:

:rofl::rofl:

[Jon]

This is why. Compare my thumb to the remote then my index finger.

Ask your mother, sister, girlfriend, or a doctor.

No, they don't.
I will tell you the truth. Ladies don't pee at all. They just visit the toilet and they pretend that they are peeing but actually they are painting cute butterflies on Chinese vases (when they finish them they hide them behind the toilet) and write poems and sonnets about colourful bunnies and poppy fields.

I haven't seen anyone post any pictures yet :orely:

[cozener]

Are you sure you want to know the answer to this question?

[ICry4Oy]

Are you sure you want to know the answer to this question?


Hmmmm...maybe!

Reasoning = I was at the Texas State Fair this past Monday and had to give in to my aversion to using public restrooms. Had to go that bad! So I'm standing at the longass line of urinals and there are about 15 of us standing there pissing. I tell ya, it sounded like the horns of Jerico! ...except this one guy who's ass, I SWEAR!, sounded like it was saying something about sporks. Anyway, it made me wonder if women play such symphonys(sp?) when they pee and if they do it like men - completely without shame and in some cases with great pride! Or do they pee, fart, blush, say "excuse me", rinse/lather/repeat?

OH! Speaking of the State Fair.....they had these (4) chocolate covered strawberries on a stick. Looked way too much like used anal beads for me to dare try 'em.:panic:

[Jean]

the chances of this thread to be merged with the existing TMI thread are getting bigger and bigger

[cozener]

I do this. I like to do it. I feel that, as a man, its my prerogative. Its the only time I have to get a little color and I see no reason to wear a shirt just to do something that gets it dirty when I have the option not to.

My wife hates it and wants me to stop. She says its "trashy" and "redneck". She has even offered to mow the lawn so that I won't go outside shirtless and embarrass her. :lol:

Thoughts?

[flaggwalkstheline]

I don't mow the lawn shirtless
The only reason for me to be shirtless is if I'm swimming
otherwise I'm just blinding passing cars on my street with my seethroughness
an whoopsy, voted yes

[Darkthoughts]

I say, what the hell...do it naked if it makes ya happy! Seriously, I don't care if someone's toned, fat, thin, hairless, hairy...whatever, people have too many hang ups about themselves as it is. Some stuff you should just be allowed to put your foot down and say...I'm mowing the lawn, it's hot...and I'm taking my shirt off!" More power to you, I'll even get you a cold beer when you've finished :D

[cozener]

More power to you, I'll even get you a cold beer when you've finished :D
See, now, thats the kind of support I'm talkin' about.

[Mark]

I wish i could but
A) i don't have a lawn

Good one, Tamezie!

[IWasSentWest]

i am laughing my ass off right now. anal beads...hahahahaha

and yes, they do. its usually a small little poot, in the cases i've experienced. some of the girls from around here just dont have the lady-like shame i'd prefer...hahah

and tamez, texts from last night is fucking hilarious

[IWasSentWest]

hell yeh it's ok. it's an easy way to tan, without looking metrosexual and lathering baby oil on at a pool.

i voted depends on the guy, but now that i think about it, who cares? we are men, we have a right of passage to be shirtless and not give a damn. you give me a ice cold beer, a riding lawn mower, an ipod and a bright sunny day, and i can mow for hours! it's so relaxing

[tamez]

and tamez, texts from last night is fucking hilarious

i know right? lol
i have a new favorite one though:


(970): I locked my keys in my car in front of planned parenthood. I'm
terrified of going inside to ask to borrow a clothes hangar.

(303): Just tell them you need to fix a mistake real quick.

:lol:

[candy]

More power to you,

or should that be mower power to you:rofl:

i wish i could do the gardening topless, its gets so hot that i am really jealous of mr c taking his top off when ever he wants (not that he goes around just throwing his top off i might add)

but when he is doing diy or the garden and he is hot then of course he should take his top off to cool down, better that than him getting too hot - and not being able to finish his jobs;)

[alinda]

WTF?:orely: seriously this needs to go....NO OFFENCE BUT...dude are we that bored and or stupid to continue discussing a subject like this?

Letti, your reply was delightful, and merit's :clap:..amazing the way you have words for any topic.

[ICry4Oy]

Some of us might be bored. Some of us might be stupid. What the eff is wrong with a little levity?

[Woofer]

She has even offered to mow the lawn so that I won't go outside shirtless and embarrass her. :lol:

Thoughts?

Let HER mow the lawn!

Since she has offered to mow, perhaps you should change the emphasis of your admonition to LET rather than her.


(Make sure you're sitting down, shirtless, with a beer, watching her).

You might not want to mock someone who is using machinery with powerful cutting blades. Best to wave at her mowing while you are folding the laundry. Make sure you are seen so that she doesn't get resentful about you not taking up the slack with work inside if she's doing the outside work. After all, you don't want to be an ass, you just want her to realize it's fucking hot and mowing without a shirt is not a mortal sin.

BTW, I love to mow the lawn. I would happily let Mr. Woofer do the laundry, dishes, vacuuming, dusting, cooking, and bathroom scrubbing in exchange for mowing the lawn.

[ICry4Oy]

I think men should be required to mow the lawn without their shirt on. Especially my neighboy two doors down! :drool:

I really just don't understand why this is such a problem for her suddenly. Honestly, I've never heard anyone say that a guy mowing his lawn or doing any other yard work shirtless was somehow trashy. She's forgetting one of the golden rules people should follow with their spouses. You can tell us to do something OR you can tell us how to do it. Not both.

[Daghain]

I don't have a lawn. I got stuck mowing grass as a kid, had a dad who thought a perfect green lawn was the be-all and end-all of suburban living, and I have allergies. You do the math.

While I really don't care if you have a shirt on or not while you mow, I voted it depends on the man. Our neighbor had back hair so thick it looked like he was wearing a bathmat. I'm not exaggerating. I don't want to see that. *barf*

Still, I think if he wants to mow the lawn like that, it's his perogative. I'll just be in the house NOT LOOKING. :D

[John Blaze]

i do, and if someone doesn't like it they can complain about it to someone who cares. As to my wife, she likes me to be happy. :D

[Emily]

I don't think I really care either way. But one time, my brother mowed our lawn wearing a halloween gladiator costume, and it was the funniest thing ever, people driving by kept slowing down and beeping. Men should do things like that more often.

[Brice]

I think men or women should feel free to do the yard work topless.

Yay! I like to hear that. I bet you're a good cook, too. You see how my plan works, though? She sees you inside, cool and refreshed, calmly folding laundry while she is mowing the lawn in heat that's hotter than Satan's bathwater - and can't take off her shirt without being arrested.

People put too much emphasis on how things look, anyway. Like Daggers, I had a dad who wanted the perfect lawn, but at least he liked to work on his. I'd be happy to redo our whole yard with a rock garden, but we would have to keep part of a lawn for the animals.

[Ka-mai]

It's fine unless you are morbidly obese. Or really old. Even then it's fine, it's just that I don't want to see it. :ninja: But people shouldn't care about what I want. Be free! I'd mow the lawn shirtless if there weren't perverts everywhere.

Seriously though, I think every guy does it, it's not rednecky. I didn't even really think rednecks bothered to mow their lawns... :P

i voted it depends on the guy.

that said - coz, i'm waiting for pics of you mowing the lawn with no shirt on or stfu. :D :couple:

[sleeplessdwarf]

I said yes ofc. I worked a high class golf course for 8 years, 6 of which I took care of the subdivision being built across the street. The women, all married, never mowed the lawn in anything other than a bikini. When they check the mail, it was often in short nightgown and sometimes panties. So a guy should be able to at least take off his shirt.

Almost anywhere there is a really ritzy neighborhood with a golf course. Got to show off those nips and tucks and implants. Good god, they didn't spend that money just to sit around the house where nobody can admire them.

[Sam]

My vote is no, absolutely not, but for a different reason. I don't care if a guy OR a girl goes topless doing house work or yard work. I don't care one bit, though if it's a woman I may get out the camera with the telephoto lens. I voted no simply because of the danger of skin cancer. My father had it, and it nearly killed him. I KNOW what I've been going through with my wife's cancer treatments these last two years, and while she doesn't have skin cancer, it's still been very taxing on us. No guy would want to take a chance of having to put the people they love through the pain, stress, and heartache that having cancer (even surviving it) brings into your lives.

I voted no because I know how hard it is to be the caregiver and not the patient. So guys, I would implore you not to do yard work without some protection on your back. Please, wear a shirt. Or at the least wear sunblock, the stronger the better.

I'm off the soapbox now.

[Woofer]

Sam is right. I assumed that sunblock would be worn if a shirt was not.

dear friends,

Many thanks to everyone who has already taken part in the duscussion. The prevalent opinion of the management is that, although being inspiring and thought-provoking, the topic doesn't, however, warrant a separate thread. Everyone is very welcome to continue the present, or any other similar discussion here.

It was just a fun and silly thread. Yeah I know some people didn't like it. They didn't like it so much that they clicked on it and read and posted in it a bunch. There are plenty of threads I don't like so I don't read them. I don't like "melons" so I never read that one. I think Tarantino is a hack so I never read that one.

I did get several PMs thanking me for the laughs though.

Guess I'll just talk about BACON!!!!

Yeah...its great. Add to that that I have a shaved head. Talk about making things simple. Putting sunscreen on is a breeze. Speaking of breeze, riding in a convertible is a carefree joy. No matter what I do I never have to worry about how my hair looks. :)

BTW Jean. I'm satisfied. :lol: Unless someone else wishes to expand upon the dynamics of yard work fashion, merge away.

Well, since apparently shirts aren't considered neccessary; are pants? :unsure:

[Darkthoughts]

If we're talking about pants in the British sense of the word...yes!

:lol:

[Brice]

Do you have a different definition of pants? :unsure:

[Darkthoughts]

Yes, pants are underwear - what you call pants we call trousers :D

[Brice]

Well, are either really needed for lawn care? :lol:

Not if you are the one mowing!!!!:evil::couple:

I would, right now, but the topic took an unexpected turn... I will wait some more...

[cozener]

When weed wacking I'd suggest, at the very least, some safety glasses and a cup. Never know where those bits of root, pebbles, and twigs are going to fly.

Now that's just weird.

She's different from me.

KILL HER!!

Always check your shoes for spiders.

[Odetta]

did you know that the average person swallows 4 to 8 spiders in their lifetime... usually when they are sleeping? :ninja:

[ICry4Oy]

Yes! :nana: Also at most nearly every second of your life you are within three feet of a spider.

[Odetta]

Spiders in the United States:

All spiders are venomous.

A "Daddy long leg" (Harvestman) is NOT a spider. (IT has only one body segment) it cannot spin a web but is often found caught by true spiders...thus it can be seen in a web. It has venom that can kill a human as quickly as the black widow but it's fangs cannot penetrate even the thinnest human skin.

...of the spiders in the U.S. only about 10 can penetrate the thinnest human skin.

..of these 10, the brown recluse gets the most attention

most "brown recluse" bites are the work of a very common Yellow sac spider.

The bite of a brown recluse spider causes an ulcer, pain around the ulcer and symptoms much like the flu. Untreated, the bite of the brown recluse can kill an upcompromised adult.

The yellow sac spider is far more abundant and causes a smaller ulcer with no flu like symptoms. An uncompromised adult will survive the yellow sac spider's bite. But it WILL suck. LOL

The black widow can and will kill. This beast has trouble penetrating human skin but clearly can do so.

Fortunately, the black widow and brown Recluse are...reclusive, and avoid moisture.

The brown widow's bite is readily survivable without treatment.

The hobo spider is the culprit in many of the other "brown recluse bites." It is not so reclusive. It's bite creates an ulcer smaller than a brown recluse but larger than the yellow sac spider. The hobo spider's bite will cause flu like symptoms and can kill an untreated, uncompromised adult.


The small red bumps that folks wake up with and claim to be "spider bites" are usually the work of bed bugs. The bed bug is making a big comeback in the U.S. I have seen them in many 5 star hotels and upper class homes. The bedbug has nothing to do with sanitation.

The real fear should lie with the assassin bug and the kissing bug. They tend to focus on tender skin of mouth, lips and nose (this is where their fangs can penetrate) as the human sleeps.

Don't be so quick to blame an itchy red bump on a spider. Think bed bug.

An ulcerated bite is more likely the yellow sac spider.

As the climate warms... educate yourself on the Kissing and assassin bug. Their venom is not an issue. The bacteria they transmit is an issue.


I have gleaned this information from 15 years in pest control/structural inspection. I have educated many doctors on the Yellow sac spider and the brown recluse.

Tell me what u think!!!! I think Beagles have waaaayyyy more personality than Bears, Your thoughts?

[Sam]

Definitely Bears. Beagles are a lot more energetic than Bears, and Beagles make great burglar alarms from what I have heard (pun intended). HOWEVER, where Beagles will bark at the burglar and let everyone know he's there, Bears will simply maul the hell out of the burglar and let you sleep until morning when you can call the cops to come get the corpse.

Also, you don't have to walk Bears at 2am. I mean, don't we all know that Bears do their business in the woods?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Jean. I defer.

This thread is shortly going to be merged with that thread (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?t=2125), or, if enough good things are said about bears, with BearrrRRRrrrs thread.

[gsvec]

:rofl: Touche!

[Merlin1958]

Look I'm down with the Bears but Yogi over Snoopy? C'mon its a no-brainer Snoopy every time!!! If nothing else Snoopy makes it to every major sporting event!! LOL

Where's the Beagle Love?

[Woofer]

Obviously they are both handsome and intelligent. In fact, the awesome qualities of both are too long to list.

As we can see from this picture, beagles and bears get along well and have great respect for each other.

My real devotion is and always will be to THE bear. Dogs are
nice and all ( even some are best friends I hear) but in the long
run a bear can do no wrong in my eyes and as noted by Sam
and my moms little doggie Annie Jewel dogs do...need I go on? :wtf:

PS Nice one Woofer! :lol:

[Jon]

Bears just don't work well when they lay on your lap.

[alinda]

;) really? I dont think I would mind it a bit:evil:
sides, even a bear should take a REST now & again:cool:

[Merlin1958]

LOL Woofer!!!!!

Bumblers follow the bears. :)

[Jon]

Do bears pee on fire hydrants?

[ladysai]

Good question, Jon!
I imagine bears come across hydrants often...
but, it woud make sense for them to mark their territory same as the beagles do.
What a comical image to imagine!

[Jon]

I reckon they pee wherever they damn well please.

[Jean]
