The "I WANT TO ARGUE!" thread - JOKE THREAD!

[Deb & Bill]

Ohh I soo want to give you a like for the toilet paper bit but as a Jayhawker I just can't sorry. I could be persuaded to also be ok with K-State Only and I repeat Only if KU isn't also still in it. Wichita State also for the same reason. But under no circumstances will that be extended to Mizzou nope no way

Basketball is a waste of time. Only football and baseball.

You have a point. I guess the proverbially "pick your battles" came into play. It's a minor annoyance for sure, it is lazy, but I opted to focus on much larger issues way back in the day.

I'd say my husband's "pick your battles" moment with me that probably most likens the toilet paper thing is I'm constantly losing the remotes. I'm terrible at that. I set it down and I'll lose it, it'll fall between the cushions, get lost somewhere on the blanket I'm using especially the fire tv stick remote (it's so dang tiny!) I'm bringing it into other rooms and can't find it again, etc. He gave up years ago trying to get me to remember to place it in a very visible spot every single time. So ya know.

I hear ya. I’m picking battles every day lol

Soccer, lacrosse, and hockey are all the same sport. Get the thing in the net.

Basketball is kinda the same way

 

[FlightlessDuck]

There is no reason the the baseball season has to be 162 games long. Who has time for that? It's ridiculous!

Ok now you've gone and done it

Basketball is what KU is good at it's what we live for both active students and alumni like me..we haven't been good at football for so long that's not even worth mentioning

Now if you're talking professional agreed because we don't even have an NBA team and it still wouldn't beat out college basketball around here IMO, for professional it's football, baseball and soccer here.

I'll just leave this here:


The company who made the signs never did one for the Royals but we have that as well for World Series..but that's not recent enough haha

Trouble with football is they take 15 minutes of real action and stretch it out to 3 1/2 hours. Simply too long. They need to get rid of all of the commercial interruptions. They should just start the clock and keep it running. Could get the games done in an hour and 15 minutes.

I did not see that in the lower corner.....those lousy tigers took away my Disney Ducks national championship years ago when Cam Newton rolled over a pile of tacklers and his knee did not touch the ground....serves him right and he can he go back to Louisiana and practice his famous rolls.

n 1972, Kansas City gained an NBA franchise, when the Kansas City-Omaha Kings – which had originated as the Rochester Royals, before becoming the Cincinnati Royals – relocated to the city from Cincinnati; the Kings split their home games between Kansas City and Omaha, Nebraska until 1975, when the team began playing its games exclusively in Kansas City, shortening its name to the Kansas City Kings. In 1985, the Kings relocated to Sacramento, California, becoming the Sacramento Kings.

If figure skating were easy, we'd call it "Hockey."

Yup but we haven't had one in so long we don't have an active NBA team. It gets rumors every now and then about getting a team here but never gets very far.

On the other hand we do have a mid-professional hockey team (Mavericks) and another independent league professional baseball team (T-Bones) those two teams however aren't quite at the same level as the Chiefs, Royals or Sporting KC (formerly Kansas City Wizards)

It's pop.

It's not soda. Soda is something white and powdery that you use for baking or to absorb odors in your freezer.

It's not Coke. "What kind of Coke do you want?" "Orange Fanta" is not a conversation that should be going on anywhere.

It's pop.

you are definitely correct there! We would NEVER offer orange Fanta as an option. Dr Pepper or big red but never orange Fanta!

 

[chickapin parterre]

get ready jeopardy fans.....Fanta is a brand of fruit-flavored carbonated drinks created by Coca-Cola Deutschland under the leadership of German businessman Max Keith. There are more than 100 flavors worldwide. Fanta originated as a Coca-Cola substitute during the American trade embargo of Nazi Germany which affected the availability of Coca-Cola ingredients in 1940; the current version was created in Italy. The name Fanta is a shortening of the word Fantasie (German for fantasy).

kinda like a jo jo rabbit....i will take that with ranch dipping sauce.

 

[Dole_whip_doll]

To my aunt....who didn’t plan ahead like was suggested, cannot get orders filled, has grown men in the house that feel its the woman’s job to shop and cook, and is trying to grocery shop our freezer.....

STOP FEEDING YOUR GROWN-BUTT SONS’ BUDDIES!!!

They have homes, significant others or even wives and kids of their own. A family of 4 doesn’t magically turn into a family of 8-9 because they trolled up their buddies!!! You are not their parents, they do not have broken homes or no money. They just know they’ll get a free meal! Last night you didn’t eat dinner because you only cooked for a family of 4 and then had unannounced extras and lied to your family you’d already eaten. Tell extras you only cooked for 4! Tell them to eat at their own house!

 

[FlightlessDuck]

STOP FEEDING YOUR GROWN-BUTT SONS’ BUDDIES!!!

Shouldn't they be at their own houses? Self isolating?

Um, no.

 

[Lizgistix]

Pirates in Florida is a joke compared to the ride in California

Because Pirates in Florida was an afterthought and done last minute when people came to WDW on opening day and wondered "where's the Pirates ride?" That back section of the land didn't exist originally.

If you want the dang shower curtain hung back up so you can take a shower, then hand the dang shower curtain back up.

If ice skating is a sport (and it is) then so is pro wrestling.

Miracle whip and mayonnaise are both good.

I like the phrase “social distancing” and anyone who “hates” the term need to re-examine how much hate they allow in their lives. I’m talking about the words themselves and not the act that they represent.

Radio ads that use the sound of a car horn (including intros to traffic reports) need to be banned.

Over preferred, under okay.

DH says to qualify as a sport, you must be able to get injured while doing the physical part of it. So ice skating and pro wrestling count. So, I tell him that golf counts; he disagrees. I also feel the chess could count, because if someone shoves a queen up your nose for beating them in 10 moves......

The only thing Miracle Whip is good on is a peanut butter, lettuce, MW, and tomato sandwich. Other than that, Duke's Mayo FTW!

I think we should all social distance ourselves from people who drive us insane, including those people on my local news FB page, who all seem to share a single brain cell between them. Not going to go political, but it's all either one leaning or the other, and each side is very rude and critical of each other; same with vaxx/anti-vaxx and religious/non.

I agree on the car horn ads, and would like to add sirens to the banned list. Scares me half to death when I'm jamming along to Def Leppard and a siren screams out of nowhere...and I'm looking like an idiot cause I'm whipping my head around trying to figure out where the police car/ambulance/fire truck is so I can get out of there way.

No preference, as I just put it on the little wire shelf that sits next to the toilet; I can't put it on the roll because I am one of the unfortunate who has a cat who loves to shred the toilet paper on the roll. Also, boxes of tissues are in jeopardy; she will empty the entire box and try to fit into it. Paper towels on a hanging roll are also persona non grata here; I have them on a standing hanger attached to the side of the cabinet.


WDW doesn't give me the same feelings as DL. DL means childhood and home (even though I never got to go as a kid, it was the first park I got to go to, when I was 34). WDW invokes family feelings.
