Admit it, You just tried to tickle yourself.

 

[Debra_oh]

No matter how hard you try you can not tickle yourself

Outstanding!!!

From what I understand Lamp workers were once used to make manifolds for plasma drives. I don't know I never made one but I look at the starship enterprise and I see their warp drive is a glass enclosure so it makes me laugh allot. Do you know whats going on underneath CO Springs?

I have a classified clearance and am not at liberty to discuss any particular applications for any parts.Livermore labs has the highest clearance to just look at the blueprints.

Among the first fast food mascots was Big Boy, a plump boy with red-and-white checkered overalls with the words “Big Boy” spread across his chest. The first McDonald’s mascot was “Speedee,” a little chef with a hamburger hat. McDonald's later settled on the iconic Ronald McDonald—and today 96% of American children recognize him.

(Actually, is Ronald McDonald still around? Admittedly, I don't pay any attention to McDonald's, but I don't recall seeing him in ages!)

You mean like this?? LOL!!

There aren't too many of these left around...
(and yes, that's me in the pic! )​

The Big Boy restaurants are a chain, but have different names in some of the other states... here it's Bob's Big Boy, and the other 2 I know of are Elias Bros. in MI, and Shoney's in the South. But the little comic books they used to have were all generic "Big Boy" ones... LOL!!
Plus they have the best darn Blue Cheese dressing EVER!! You used to have to go to one of the restaurants to buy it, but now they sell it in the grocery stores... (I've got some in my fridge right now!!)


And I don't know what happened to all of the other characters (like the Ham Burglar), but here's some trivia about Ronald McDonald...

The 1st person that played him was Willard Scott, who was a TV weatherman... and he also played Bozo the Clown on a TV show before that!!

Fact: I actually worked for Frisch's Big Boy restaurants here in Cincinnati years ago. I remember that a big boy sandwich, an order of fries and a small coke came to $1.26!! (Long time ago )

I think the Big Boy (the name for one of their burgers, too) was also the 1st double-decker one around...

Big Ben is the name of the largest of the five bells which hang within the clock and not the name of the landmark clock.

The way to happiness: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others.

The term "the whole 9 yards" came from WW II fighter pilots in the South Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards."

at age 16 Sybil Ludington rode twice the distance as Paul Revere to announce the British were coming.

Be assured, fellow citizens, that in a democracy it is the laws that guard the person of the citizen and the constitution of the state, whereas the despot and the oligarch find their protection in suspicion and in armed guards.
