A pineapple is related to neither pines nor apples. It is a berry.

Oddly, urinating on lilac bushes helps them grow bigger. Good thing there are three males living here, because I can't aim all that well. J.

Nora_S Jun 9th, 2006 02:38 PM

mikemo---that is NOT useless information---try again.

I'm still working on the fried pickles to feed my horse. Do you think I should use a beer batter or panko crumbs for the coating?

FainaAgain Jun 9th, 2006 02:41 PM

Nora, forget pickles. Just give her beer and go riding.

paula1470 Jun 9th, 2006 02:46 PM

Faina-Love this thread. You must be having a slow Friday!!

Fried pickles are actually good and believe me I was very skeptical until I had one.

Another useless fact-It's not only horses that can't throw up. Neither can cows. So I guess we will have to feed both of them one of these fried pickles to find out!!

razzledazzle Jun 9th, 2006 02:47 PM

Sheesh ! Didn't anyone straighten out a hanger and measure it ?!?

Nora_S Jun 9th, 2006 02:47 PM

Actually. . . she does love Guinness. No kidding.

enzian Jun 9th, 2006 02:53 PM

Wow! This is fun. Can someone teach that not-throwing-up trick to my dog?

FainaAgain Jun 9th, 2006 02:55 PM

How many feet in one hanger?

Gilbert Jun 9th, 2006 02:56 PM

My front lawn needs mowing.

Gilbert Jun 9th, 2006 02:56 PM

My back lawn needs mowing.

I won a dinner for 4 at Mr. Changs by answering a correct question on "Regis & Kathy Lee".

Malesherbes Jun 9th, 2006 02:59 PM

My kitty smells like baby powder. We have no idea why...we never wash her nor foo foo her in any way.

Abou Ben Adam, may his tribe increase...now you've done it Wow! It's stuck in my mind too thank you very much. :)

seetheworld Jun 9th, 2006 03:01 PM

One time my sons and I listened to the online pronunciation of the word "hullaballoo" over and over again.

Bill Cosby graduated from my High School.

annetti Jun 9th, 2006 03:25 PM

I almost forgot. Bill Cosby went to my University --- Temple University.

FainaAgain Jun 9th, 2006 03:26 PM

O.J. Simpson and both Children Again were students of Galileo High School in San Francisco.

And . . . I was once on a guided ranger tour with Hal Linden in Zion National Park.

Scarlett Jun 9th, 2006 03:29 PM

a Kir Royal will make my nose numb but who cares when you are celebrating ?
((D))

Malesherbes Jun 9th, 2006 03:37 PM

Annetti...he went to mine too, UMass Amherst, but grad school and long after me. I did go with both Taj Mahal, who dated a girl in my dorm, and Buffy St. Marie though. :)

BuffaloGirl Jun 9th, 2006 03:38 PM

My friend and I once followed O.J. Simpson around the old Memorial Auditorium hallways during a Buffalo Braves game.

enzian Jun 9th, 2006 03:39 PM

Bill Cosby ate lunch at Tadich Grill in San Francisco one Saturday in April, 2003. We saw him there. And he didn't order fried pickles.

noryglory Jun 9th, 2006 03:42 PM

I'm allergic to celery.

GoTravel Jun 9th, 2006 03:46 PM

I like mint.

Nora_S Jun 9th, 2006 03:51 PM

Did anyone else get a cramp trying to measure their foot against their forearm?

Sunshinesue Jun 9th, 2006 03:53 PM

Pineapples may not be related to pines or apples but the are related to Spanish moss.

BuffaloGirl Jun 9th, 2006 04:14 PM

My best friend and I can sing the "Oscar Meyer Weiner Song"...one word at a time...in its' entirety!

Example:

BuffaloGirl: Oh
Friend: I
BuffaloGirl: Wish
Friend: I
BuffaloGirl: Were
Friend: An
BuffaloGirl: Oscar
Friend: Meyer
Buffalo: Wiener

And so on......keeping the tune in key all the way through.

wow Jun 9th, 2006 04:18 PM

Malesherbes: Did we go to that same high school????...... where the nun made us memorize Abou ben Adam...have another glass of wine..."the great awakening light..." Oh! Oh! but I only had one....

BuffaloGirl Jun 9th, 2006 04:18 PM

I just went over the song in my head, and I'm wrong. We actually do it in syllables:

BG: Oh
Friend: I
BG: Wish
Friend: I
BG: Were
Friend: An
BG: Os
Friend: car
BG: Mey
Friend: er
BG: Wie
Friend: ner

You get it, don't ya? (And I've been spelling wiener wrong, I think).

I must get away from this thread.


wow Jun 9th, 2006 04:19 PM

Mint is nice in stuffed green peppers

indytravel Jun 9th, 2006 04:35 PM

Modern science believes that anyone who posts more than 3 times to a thread like this may need an intervention from their family.

I'm only up to 2. BuffaloGirl? :-D

kopp Jun 9th, 2006 04:37 PM

wow - WRONG ANSWER! We're only looking for useless information. That actually sounds pretty good!

The radio announcer said not to take that road because it's closed.

cmcfong Jun 9th, 2006 04:38 PM

I know the words to Phoebe's "Smelly Cat".
In fifth grade I won half a cake in a cake walk.
I sat next to Country Joe of Country Joe and the Fish in my freshman Political Science class..............

kopp Jun 9th, 2006 04:40 PM

cmcfong - what kind of a cake walk gives away only a half a cake?

cmcfong Jun 9th, 2006 04:42 PM

A crummy one. Was I ever put out!

Scullysioux Jun 9th, 2006 04:45 PM

Bobby and Cindy Brady put baked beans inside a flashlight and hot dogs in their pockets.

razzledazzle Jun 9th, 2006 04:51 PM

Sliced bread was introduced under the Wonder Bread label in 1930.

Intervention here I come...

Rats can't barf either. What's up with upchucking and the animal kingdom?

Indianapolis' new Conrad Hilton is only their 4th Conrad in the United States. It's the first one they've built from the ground up in the US.

Only 3 so far. Intervention is a single post away. :-)
