You made 12 posts so far today- your first day, and you criticize others for having trime on their hands? Welcome to the board. You'll fit right in.

I hear you're supposed to wash for 30 seconds in hot soapy water when you get trime on your hands.

Sensitive crowd in here.
Opinions are worth what you pay for them. It seems you folks are wound a little bit tight.
Fitting in is something feet and clodhoppers do together.
Ban all fishing to non Mexicans.
Conservation has to start somewhere.

Ordinarily I don't care about what gets posted here, other than the occasional call for censorship (a bad idea). Ignore and move on, that's my motto.
But there is a point at which even the most bored, jaded and blase amongst us must take a pointless and comical stand against The Stupid. At least
it's something for those us without a bat in the belfry to do with our time, in between our less-frequent-than-we'd-like electroshock therapy sessions
(I assume that's what you mean by "not enough electronic activity in the attic," but maybe I'm wrong and you can clarify). Of course, if you've had a
few pints, it's easy to miss my subtle comedic shadings, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Welcome to the board and have another.

As for opinions, I could not agree more. Actually, there's a saying about opinions and a particular body part that may even be more apt under the
circumstances in connection with your second sentence. But I digress from the real point of this exercise, which is to examine sentence number three.
I'm slow and had a little trouble understanding it, which I hope you'll excuse. Let's break it down, shall we?
I'm pretty clear on what feet are, but clodhopper stumped the band. So I go to my electronic dictionmanary thingy, which tells me the following:
Clodhopper:
1. A clumsy, coarse person; a bumpkin.
2. A big heavy shoe.
OK, if it's #2 we're talking about, I get that feet fit into big heavy shoes. Not sure what the point is, but whatever. However, if we're talking
#1, then I had to consult the confuser again, to find this:
Bumpkin:
An awkward, unsophisticated person; a yokel.
Hey, now I get it! Some of us are feet, and some of us are clumsy, coarse, awkward and unsophisticated (I'd like to think I fall into the latter
category, thanks), and together we force all others to fit in or die in the smoking wastes of Internet purgatory (which looks a lot like Eastern
Arkansas)! I bet you never thought I'd figure it out.

Very good young man. The english language while spread out over many countries is still easy to understand if one takes the time.

Getting back to the subject, don't know how it would bring tourist, but having a healthy clean cut youth symbolizing survival sounds like a good
thing.
If its not where it is, its where it isn\'t.

You may need to change your handle from bajadove to bajapigeon. He isn't really healthy or cleancut- or at least we can't tell that from what has
been told about him. He is poor, hungry and alive with a great head of hair- not becasue of anything the Mexican gov't or any doctors did for him.

quote "A personable boy who wears his hair slicked back with gel" That sounds reasonably clean cut to me for this day and age.
And the last person that called me pigeon was my mommy!

yes, it does leave most people speechless- doesn't it?
Other failed attempts to draw tourists (one or two may be fictional):
1. Swim with the crocs! (Australia)
2. Enjoy the refreshing Cholera-infested waters! (Kenya)
3. Sleep with the fishes and enjoy eternal peace (Sicily)
4. Come to a stoning- it isn't just for locals any more! (Saudi Arabia)
5. Enjoy a one week, no-frills barefoot cruise and obtain instant wealth (pirates of Somalia)
6. Come watch nationalization happen before your very eyes (Venezuela- sorry, no USA credit cards please)
7. Support the "2009 Freedom Swim to Miami" (Haiti)
8. Come visit the Holy Land now before Iran turns it into glass. (Israel) |
Whoosh
you are the man!!!! right? i've never seen a foto ?

Attracting Tourists
Perhaps they should build a 5-star Marriott next to the Oversized Pig Farm that seems to be their major industry. They could advertise that it would
"Overwhelm your Senses".
IF the Swine Flu attracts decent numbers, they could then get serious and import Ebola or Bubonic Plague and make a real Killing.

I wasn't even going to get into the absurdity of the location itself. Yes, pigs are the predominant industry and the family is surrounded by pig
farms. That is one theory about how the virus may have crossed-over to the boy. Not really a great vacation spot- even for pigs.

The swine flu is today officially a global pandemic- the first in 41 years!
The mother country must be so proud. Well- of course Mexico is proud or it wouldn't have bronzed the Swine Boy. So when does the tour of the statue
begin? Can you get it up to the Del Mar Fair right away to promote Mexican tourism? Thousands are dying to see it!
