someone asked what the "bus stop" was

well maybe i should have said the "electric slide"
it's a (i guess i should say) line dance where you go right, left, back, then turn and start all over again (or something like that)

ok, better yet, how about when station A plays a lil (and I do mean a lil) more hip hop & rap than station B, yet station B claims to be for the "older" listeners?? your play lists are almost exactly the same, but one station is for an "older" crowd? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

Anyway, similarly . . .
We drove cross-country for spring break (got back tonight, it was insane), and we tried some crazy-ass shortcut to panama city across rural, southern georgia - in the middle of nowhere, around 5 in the morning, was a huge sign simply reading "B A D C O C K", and when we got to the building it ended up being a discount furniture store or something, and on the front was a large sign saying "No one beats BADCOCK!" Absolutely bizarre, especially all cracked-out w/ no sleep . . . we almost wrecked the car laughing.

OH MY GOSH!!! Badcock! That is a big chain around here and everytime I see that "No one beats Badcock" I die laughing! Wow! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Okay, they wrong for that! BADCOCK! Marketing nightmare!

to answer the thing about braille at drive through ATMs i have a new theory. I think that they make just one type of ATM for both walk up and drive through, and just don't feel like making a second no braile one.

Since we are being random....

Worms got a raw deal, for real. Ok, think about it. They live in the ground. When it rains, they come out so that they don't drown. Then after they come out, one of two things can happen. One, they get stepped on. Dead. Two, the sun comes out and dries them up. Dead. They can't win for losing. And that is jacked up, for real. See what I'm sayin' about the raw deal? What a life.

And where did the phrase Catch 22 come from??? Why is a no win situation a catch 22?

And who decided word pronunciation??? Why is Wednesday pronounced Winsday?? That is so stupid to me. It took me like 250 times to get that word right when I was 8. My mother made me write it over and over and over until I got it right.

Ok, one more. Did anyone else's parents tell them to look in the dictionary when you asked how to spell something?! If I knew how to look it up in the dictionary, wouldn't I know how to spell it??? How do you look something up in the dictionary that you can't spell???????? There are some things I WILL NOT put my kids through.

Ok, I'm done. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

The term catch 22 is actually derived from a book with that title that came out, i believe, early 70s. so that what does have an etimology.

but here's my question...doesn't the United States find it funny that there are TWO washingtons? I know one is a state and one is a District of Columbia (which, for the record, i still don't understand after taking many American history courses), but couldn't they have come up with a different name? Not that he wasn't a great president and all, but there are so many names in existance and only 50 states. (no disrespect intended). Food for thought.

Someone once asked:

If a word is misspelled in a dictionary, how would you know?

One more....

Who discovered vitamins, and why are there only five main ones (A thru E)?? What do they look like out of pill form? How long have we known about them? How do you test for them? I mean, how do we KNOW that there is a crap load of Vitamin C in oranges? Who looked in there? And did we know about vitamin C before we found out that oranges had a lot of it?

What's the difference between a vitamin and a mineral?

I've got one:
Why do people go out to the movies/store/anywhere with curlers in their hair? If you're curling your hair, you apparently want it to look good. However, you don't look very good with 30 curlers in your hair! Explain this one to me please?!

This reminds me of the local convenience store chain here. It's call "Kum n' Go".

Do you have any idea how many times I've heard someone say "I'm going to Kum n' Go!"?

Why doesnt Walmart have a Barber Shop inside? That would be awesome and they would make bank.

FYI: The Founder of Walmart, Sam Walton was a Beta.

The Super Wal-Mart in Waco,Texas does have a Barber Shop!! There arent many places to go there so when i say "super" i mean super wal-mart!!

HOLY JEEZUS . . . yeah, that's a midwest chain - the CEO's grandson played hockey w/ me in high school . . . well, we played inline hockey in the summer to keep in shape, and well we got competitive and went to nationals a couple years. We needed a sponser, so this kid's dad and grandfather offered an obscene amount of money for jersey ad space - they even bought new jerseys w/ "KUM AND GO" on them . . . on the very bottom back of the jersey . . . which, if you're at all familiar w/ hockey, you know this goes right over your ass. So . . . i'd line up to take a face-off or whatever, and it'd say "KUM AND GO" on my ass in HUGE letters, with a big shiny circle around it for added effect. Some wise-ass from Oklahoma finally caught on, and starting bagging on us for it - we ripped off the tags and played w/out them for the rest of the tournament . . . we ended up getting third, but the stigma of "KUM AND GO" innuendo never really left.

(Maybe this should go in the 'embarrassing moments' thread too, huh?)
