  1. I like that article on the health benefits of art!

  2. When I saw that the motorcycle owner spelled 'brakes' as 'breaks' (in the ad to sell the bike), I stopped paying attention.  Plus the person's a FIB, anyway.

  3. BB, that wasn't the author's ad. It was one she found while tracing her ex-motorcycle. What's an FIB?

  4. Hate to sound like a sap, but I can hear those pine trees screaming in pain from here.

  5. FIB ?

    Sexual intercoursing, very low level intelligence and the main one of those in the village, and female dog.

    Of course, I am only guessing as those word and thoughts are as alien to me as Signourey Weaver was to an intergalatic creature hitchhiking on her spaceship, but probably right or close to .... so ...

    Now, say it after me - F...... I.... B.... !

  6. I’m well aware of the license plate problem, forget the plate the VIN number can haunt you.

    The Mt Everest runner was very cool.

    I didn’t know photographing nudes would make me live 10 years longer.

  7. FIB is usually used by Wisconsinites about visiting people from Illinois.

    The "F" is a slang term for copulating, the I is for Illinois, and the B indicates the person's parents were not married when said person was born.

    If the person's parents marital status at their birth is unknown, then the B becomes a P for "person."

    In Illinois, there are those who call Wisconsin Illinois' largest state park.
