    I hate eggs, I've never eaten a egg in my life, and never will!

    Would you?
    Could you?
    On a boat?

    Could you?
    Would you with a goat?

    Would you eat them here or there?
    Would you eat them anywhere?

    Watermelon is my all time favorite food, I go to the gym nearly every day, I like to bike, play video games, poker, chew nicotine gum like it’s going out of style, I’m a big gun guy, I also collect vintage football cards.

    <<< I’m a big gun guy >>>

    Note to self: Never make Perkdog angry. 😨

    Also I want to buy a Henry 22 rifle, western style lever action, and pretend Indians are attacking my house.

    Edit- Sorry, pretend native Americans are attacking my house. But dressed in 1860's 70's period clothing.

    You could get one of those baseball pitching machines, retrofit it to instead pitch arrows, then place it on your front yard to make the attack seem more realistic.

    I collect boxing cards, I search ebay all day, every day, it's the first thing I do when I get up, and the last thing I do before I go to bed. On my smartphone, I've got tabs set up for ebay italy, germany, france, netherlands, england, philippines, australia, canada and united states, that way I can get to the different country ebay sites faster because a lot of cards I look for were made in different countries.

    Those cigarette cards from the countries you mentioned are quite cool. I've bought some cheap lots off Ebay just for the fun of it.

    Certainly are a lot of them available, and i see some boxing subjects from time to time. Although it's usually a boxer from the particular country where the cigarettes were sold.

    I think Gomer Pyle is the most annoying tv character ever created. I’m sure Jim Neighbors is a heck of a nice guy, and he sings great.

    I go with Vicki Lawrence in Mama's Family. Just the voice, it grates on me, can't stand THAT VOICE!

    But for some reason Edith Bunker doesn’t bother me and I think Jean Stapleton played her very well. Now if you had to choose between mamas family or Maude ?

    Judith Light was awesome in Who’s the boss. A great show for its time.

    I thought about hiring you guys and giving you fake arrows, but this is certainly how that would play out.
    The lot of you appear to have traded out your fake arrows for the genuine article........

    Another thing about me is, I can't stand having dirt under my fingernails. If I spot the slightest amount of dirt under my fingernails, I'll go crazy trying to get it out, and won't rest until every bit of it is out.

    Admittedly, sometimes when I buy one of those large lots off Ebay of vintage cigarette cards, I hope to find a valuable treasure in there.

    Haven't found that yet, but no complaints, the cards themselves have been more than enough fun. :)

    Always strikes me as hilarious, but not in a funny way, when naive visitors to national parks, see an animal like a moose or bear in the wild and think it's some sort of cartoon character they can just walk up to it and pet it or feed it.

    Sadly, they learn the hard way about how nature actually is in reality when they get gored or bitten.

    I remember the one about an embittered Ritchie losing a Howdy Doody Look-Alike contest.

    ...and thanks for the corrected spelling of Clarabel (actually "Clarabell." I looked it up ;) ) Everybody who took high school French knows that "Clarabelle" is a girl clown name. :D

    Actually very wise, especially drinking room temperature water to stay hydrated.

    I'm not saying to never have a cold drink once in awhile, but constantly drinking cold water all day, wreaks havoc on the internal organs.

    It must have been so cool driving a 56 Chevy with your girl to a drive in theatre. Then buy her a few 58 Topps packs after the movie. You could impress her with the size of your bubble.

    What is a little quirky thing that makes you the individual that you are.

    For example, I really don’t like the numbers 6 and 2. Whenever I see my online banking I will transfer funds from account to account just so that those two numbers disappear from my balance.

    Goldenage this is an awesome thread! Thanks.
