My 5000th Post

[ftwildernessguy]

Tonight I am posting my 5000th post.

We think we are so smart making microchips and such, but God beat us to it. Think about an ant - it has everything necessary for survival - a nervous system, a circulatory system, a respiratory system, a digestive system, the ability to move, the ability to think - all in a compact package. Amazing.

How come all lawabiding citizens like the police but no mothers want their children to become cops?

When I get old, if I have to go to a home and some nurse treats me like I am 3 years old, I'll use every bit of my remaining strength to kick her butt.

Speaking of being in the home, I hope they have butterscotch pudding on the pudding cart because that is the best of the pudding flavors.

I think we have enough laws and we don't need any new ones. We just need to enforce the ones we have. Congress can go home.

When I went to college, the computer on campus fit in a large building and didn't have the power my laptop does.

I remember when the Army started using computers in the Field Artillary - they wouldn't function in damp, hot or cold conditions. That is a feature that is very useful in combat.

If I were a single guy, I would have only 2 vehicles - my truck and my motor scooter.

I would rather take my chances with a dog bite than a cat bite.

If I were going to be stranded on a desert island and could only bring one thing along, it would be a bottle of aspirin.

If we fought wars online with computer games, our greatest war heroes would be the nerds everybody beat up in high school.

I was a nerd in high school, but protected by the football team since I was their only chance to pass math and maintain their eligibility.

I didn't have many dates in high school, but I was always surrounded by the hot girls.

I would rather be in the woods than indoors.

I would rather have a unit full of solid officers than one great officer and a bunch of fair ones.

How the heck do birds see with an eye on each side of their head?

Can you imagine being a bug surrounded by giant people always trying to step on you? How stressful is that?

How come when the old superman TV shows were on, superman could deflect bullets, but when the bad guy ran out of bullets he would throw the pistol at superman (how stupid was that) and superman would duck (even stupider)?

I was the happiest in my life when everything I owned would fit in my car.

I'm tired. Good night.

Sounds like normal day at work for me.

You get quite philosophical when you're reaching milestones.

Just giving you a little glimpse into the maze of FWGuy's mind.

Congrats Jim on your massive postings. I haven't been around here too long, but I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all you have to say.

All hail ftwildernessguy 5000 posts! I've met you and I really don't remember any of our conversations being quite as random as that post.

and...when he's been hittin' the vino! Some Merlot and dark chocolate to celebrate Jim's milestone post!


(gotta stay away from that Discovery channel though....next thing we know you'll be changing your avatar to that of an ant)

Congrats on 5000.
Why would you pick aspirin if stranded?

 

[auntie]

Isn't aspirin like a miracle drug?
I take a low dose aspirin every day..and hey..it's a miracle I'm still holding up!

you da' man

Congrats on 5,000 Jim! I, too, have those type of deep thoughts. (yes, I will call them "deep thoughts" instead of ADD ramblings ) I wonder if this is a Gemini thing? We are going to get along famously when we finally meet in October!

 

[disney92]

Here's to 5,000 more!!!!

Congrats on 5000.

Because that one little pill can do so many things - it reduces fever, reduces inflammation, relieves pain, "thins" blood, can help in a heart attack or stroke, and it's pretty benign as medications go with few harmful side effects unless you're allergic or asthmatic or have an ulcer.

A true testament to my power of self control.

Jim's mind is like an intricate maze of information....some VERY valuable, some VERY useless. To navigate his mind requires a series of detailed maps, although they would serve no purpose on a journey though his mental terrain because I have a feeling that its very dark in there and you would not be able to see the maps unless he were to yawn in the direction of the sun, or fart while laying on his stomach.

Rog, you do have a way with words!!!

Now THAT is what I call the pot calling the kettle black.

My wife just thinks I'm weird.

Here here, Jim on 5000 posts! I lift a Kungaloosh in your honor! Maybe we should hold off on the aspirin until after the alcohol is out of our systems though.

You know,I have often thought that wars would be so much better fought on a computer screen. Much cleaner that way. Or what about a nice volley ball tournament? Maybe an ant race? Birds, perhaps?

If you end up in a "home" I promise to bring you stimulating reading materials, all sorts of respect for your wisdom and experience and some butterscotch pudding. They only have pistachio flavored on the pudding cart.
