For many years I was baffled by an expression I would hear people say - "watchcolumn".

As in "I ran into that guy we bought the car from a few years ago... the guy from Edgewood... you know, watchcolumn, uh, Bob."

I never saw it in print (and I read a lot!) so I figured it was some unfathomable local expression that didn't even make sense.

And then one day it hit me like a lightning bolt. They were saying "what do ya call him" but all slurred together. Duh!


When I was quite small, I understood the basic concept of radio - that there was a place somewhere where the broadcasts originated - but I also thought whenever they played music, the band was performing at the radio station. I hadn't quite grasped there was such a thing as recorded music.

Just so you know, looking at pics of wangs won't make you gay ;)

and nakedfrog should know, he's seen enough of them

I'm hardly the best example ;)
And it's hard not to see at least a few when you work in an adult store.

When I was 9 helping my Dad build a deck on a hot summer day he sent me to the store with some money to get a soda, and added ?get me a beer while you?re at it?. I didn?t know you couldn?t buy beer til you were 21. The guy at the register thought that was the funniest thing ever seeing a 9 year old roll up to the check stand with a 6?er of Budweiser.

If they see you doing it, then they're looking at them too, so does that make them look gay too?

If you're not sure, then I'd bet money you are.

LOL @ "prick pictures"

Thats because the same muscles involved in pushing out feces is involved in pushing the fetus through the birth canal.

When I was small, I used to think that Nabisco was called Fin's Cones. Before I could read, they would sing the jingle and I only heard what they said... so I assumed the company had a different name.. I felt embarassed when I learned to read.

I know that, just didn't know anything about it until I worked in the maternity ward is all.

I set the table incorrectly at my fiancee's parents house with about 15 people there, and of course they made a rolling laughter about it when they found out who did it.
