Lol Funny!!![]()
As I said, I don't believe all I read on this forum!![]()
see?
so how are you today?
I'm ok but I am kicking myself because I forgot to buy a birthday card for a friend whilst I was out shopping. What an idiot, now I shall have to get one tomorrow. How are things at your end of the planet?
ya How are u?
or you could just make one, thats what I always do.
Fine, I got a laptop yesterday and I can't wait until it comes home!
Do you always travel separately from your laptop or is this a first?
He is a neighbour and will think me a cheapskate if I give him a home-made card. ![]()
No I just bought it and the computer people at the store have to install the programs and such for me first.
Really? I think homemade cards are a work of art and he should be proud to recieve one.
Well there is one heck of a generation gap between you and him. It is not the done thing, unless you are gifted artistically which I am supposing you to be, just get that impression. If only they did Shaun the Sheep cards I could buy a shedload of them and use them for all my friends.
Well, I like to do art, but I am not the best at it. See? I make my own shaun the sheep cards, it isn't that difficult. You can either go for the cotton ball sheep, or print out a picture of shaun and the gang.
You see, I knew you were!! My printer is playing up, I would have to go and use his which would be a real cheek. Never mind, if I am too tired tomorrow I shall ask another friend to pick one out for me. We share the same sense of humour.
I got my techie friend to install all my software for me, he is a good friend to have. I took him out to lunch to say thanks though.
haha, that would be funny, excuse me can I use your printer to print out your card!
I don't know if you have them in England, but here there is a line of cards called Shoebox, which matches perfectly with my family's sense of humour.
Well I got mine installed from the store because there was a deal where you would get a printer, a skin, a recovery disk, some of the bugs of vista out and install all the programs for $100, so I did.
Now I am revealing my lack of computer know-how, what is a skin in this sense of the word?
Don't worry, I just found out what it was yesterday...its a piece of plastic with a picture on it that goes on the back of your laptop.
Don't think I have one, what is it for? I know what a dongle is, that's another name for a memory stick isn't it?
It is just decoration if the pattern of your laptop isn't appealing. I never knew that
I have to go now, bye!
Bye for now, I hope to have returned to planet Earth for our next chat. Have a nice day.
PS, I may be wrong about the dongle, it could be someone was teasing me. I shall have to check.![]()
make a card! people should think its the thought that counts! anyone i give a home-made card to would be thrilled!
Hi finlaybear, I have been out with friends so I haven't been on here.
Are you happy about Murray? If I remember correctly, you like to cheer for him.
hey you are soo cool![]()

Weirdos calling Finlaybear, are you there?
Hello mf and fellow Earthlings. I shall hope to catch up with you later. ![]()
I am here now for a few minutes if you are.
Yes. I have been in disguise on another thread.![]()
Ah yes, I noticed. Are you having fun being a spy?
Well sometimes you just have to give in to your weird inclinations. It was fun. How are you today and how was your weekend?
Of course, its always great fun, especially if you hum the mission impossible theme at the same time. I'm fine, I had a great weekend, all of my relatives were at my Gramma's house, so that was great...boy talk about weirdos![]()
Were any of you in fancy dress? Now I know why you have been working on your Halloween costume so early.![]()
Nope, but the men did have a "nudie party" luckily only their shirts came off, so we weren't quite blinded.
I'll wear my costume to school someday when people are least expecting it.
Are you preparing for International talk like a pirate day, it's not long to go now. How are you getting on with the new laptop. Does it fit? Haha.
ooh, I almost forgot, I had better start working on my accent!
Yes, very nicely, except for the fact that a line of type will magically disappear every once in a while. Ah well, its amazing that the computer vendetta has not manifested itself more often. wait, crossing my fingers and knocking on wood now!
cool![]()
September 19th, I shall be using the name Long Finlay Silver for the occasion. Hopping about and keeping my balance is proving tricky though. And.... have you ever tried eating with a hook instead of a knife and fork? ![]()
Sorry I have to go now, but I will be on later
Ok, I may hop into you later then. Bon voyage!![]()
It sounds like you are all planned out then. I figure pirates are usually seen drunk and on a ship, so an unsteady gait is to be expected. No, I can't say that I have although I can use chopsticks as spears!![]()
I am back. The Tractor Beams have brought me safely back to Earth.![]()
Good, good, we don't want you to be stuck with the aliens in outer space forever, better to stay with the ones down here![]()
Yes, well there are plenty of them no doubt. Are you up and dressed now?![]()
Yes, today was the first day I just let my hair do whatever after my shower and it is quite crazy!
A visit to a psychiatrist seems to be in order then.
haha I passed that point a looong time ago![]()
I found these and I thought you might like them. I had to take out a few of the more colourful ones though.
These are from a book called ” Disorder in the American Courts”, the transcripts of actual court hearings.

WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere
***********************************************************
Haha very good. We don't have anything like that in our court, well not very often.![]()
You never know...it could happen. I have a whole book of silly things that criminals have done in court. Another of my favourites is: "Did you get a good look at my face when I mugged you?" and there is one where a man was being tried for stealing pigs and was proven innocent, and he then said, "Does this mean I can keep the pigs?"
We have a feature in our monthly magazine about funny things that have happened in Court. The only ones I have experienced are ones which are a bit too rude to post on here.
Ah, I don't know if it holds true or not, but there is a stereotype of criminals being crass and rude. Speaking of courts and rudeness, have you ever seen the movie "My Cousin Vinney"?
No I haven't. Tell me more. In my experience there are two main types of criminals, the pathetic or stupid ones and the ones who think they are clever and who are prolific liars. You sort of get a feel for it.
Oh, its an old movie but it is great. The idea is that a man and his fiance from New York must go down to Alabama to prove the man's cousin innocent. The man took 6 tries to pass the bar exam and has just finished school and doesn't really know the rules and such. It is very hilarious and I would recommend renting it.
I should go now, sorry. I have spent enough time on the computer for today.
