  1. Actually I was referring to the style, design or "looks and feel" of Hyperboards and forums4free.net. I like this better at Hyperboards although I cannot even say exactlx why. What I did NOT like was the "wood" skin since you couldn't see a thing then.

    Just my $0.02.

  2. Distorted minds. shut, blind

    It's out of order

    There's nothing but silence

    Not a voice can be heard

    Closed down, out of line

    It's a mindstate border

    There's Nothing but silence

    We're all out of words

    You wanna slow down and you wanna stop

    Well, I know where it begun

    I saw the vicious circle

    Takin' em off the line

    You wanna slow down and you wanna stop

    Well, I know where it begun

    I saw the spiderwave

    Takin' em off the line

    White lies, avoiding eyes

    And artificial ways

    Some people are like robots

    They're prisoners counting their days

    Heavy bounds, steady downs

    I know it's quite complex

    You've seen the noble winners

    Now come and see the wrecks

    The spiderweb reaches from top to bottom

    It's out of order

    Take a closer look you'll see the spiderweb got 'em

    It's out of order

  3. So much for my happy ending

    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

    Let's talk this over

    It's not like we're dead

    Was it something I did?

    Was it something You said?

    Don't leave me hanging

    In a city so dead

    Held up so high

    On such a breakable thread

    You were all the things I thought I knew

    And I thought we could be

    [Chorus:]

    You were everything, everything that I wanted

    We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it

    And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away

    All this time you were pretending

    So much for my happy ending

    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

    You've got your dumb friends

    I know what they say

    They tell you I'm difficult

    But so are they

    But they don't know me

    Do they even know you?

    All the things you hide from me

    All the S**t that you do

    You were all the things I thought I knew

    And I thought we could be

    [Chorus]

    It's nice to know that you were there

    Thanks for acting like you cared

    And making me feel like I was the only one

    It's nice to know we had it all

    Thanks for watching as I fall

    And letting me know we were done

    [Chorus x2]

    [x2]

    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

    So much for my happy ending

    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

  4. Picture perfect a life that you saw in a magazine

    Or maybe a travelling book

    wanted to get on that plane and fly away

    cause you are a rock star deep down inside

    you walk with a swagger got nothing to hide

    Cigarette in your mouth a cuff on your jeans

    your sideburns are perfect you´re perfect your lean

    so you made an oil painting to inmortalize

    all of the hope and vision in your eyes

    In your leisure coat and cowbay hat

    North American records and so much to bat for

    Please bring me along

    Please bring me along

    Because I want to see everything you have to offer me

    Get a job lifting cement

    Oh it´s so dry when it rains it gets wet

    And the village was great now it´s a suburb

    You left behind half of all that you had learned

    Relearn a couple things along the way

    The thrift shop so clean all for half what you´d pay

    so you try everything on, on for size

    Drop top you Camaro and go for a ride

    Please bring me along

    Please bring me along

    Because I want to see everything you have to offer me

    And I don´t mind to sit here and waste my time

    Oh but this world is not mine to define

    Please bring me along

    Please take me away

    I don´t want to stay

    And I want to see everything you have to offer me

    And I want to see everything you have to offer me

    And I want to see everything you have to offer me

    I want to see everything the world has to offer me

    I want to see everything the world has to offer me

    I want to show everything I have to offer it

    I want to show everything I have to offer it now

  5. To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our own, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students...here is something to make you chuckle. Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own children After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing he said was "DON'T!

    "Don't what?" Adam replied.

    "Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.

    "Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve..we have forbidden fruit!!!!!"

    "No Way!

    "Yes way!"

    "Do NOT eat the fruit!" said God.

    "Why"

    "Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants. A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He was ticked! "Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.

    "Uh huh," Adam replied

    "Then why did you?" said the Father

    "I don't know," said Eve.

    "She started it!" Adam said

    "Did not!"

    "Did too!"

    "DID NOT!"

    Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.

    BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY! If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?

    THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!

    1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.

    2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.

    3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.

    4. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.

    5. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own.

    6. We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.

    ADVICE FOR THE DAY: Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing home one day.

    AND FINALLY:

    IF YOU HAVE ALOTOF TENSION AND YOU GET A HEADACHE, DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE:

    "TAKE TWO ASPIRIN" AND "KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN"!!!!!

  6. Sometimes...

    when you cry...

    no one sees your tears.

    Sometimes...

    when you are in pain...

    no one sees your hurt.

    Sometimes...

    when you are worried...

    no one sees your stress.

    Sometimes...

    when you are happy...

    no one sees your smile.

    But FART!!

    just ONE time...

    And everybody knows!!

  7. The beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The birch says he cannot tell. Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says: "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."

  8. A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him, and as he sits, the waitress comes over and asks for their order. The man says, "I'll have a hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to the ostrich.

    "What's yours?"

    "I'll have the same," says the ostrich. A short time later the waitress

    returns with the order. "That will be $6.40 please," and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out exact change for payment.

    The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, "I'll have a hamburger, fries and a coke," and the ostrich says, "I'll have the same." Once again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.

    This becomes a routine until late one evening, the two enter again. "The usual?" asks the waitress. "No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and salad," says the man. "Same for me," says the ostrich.

    A short time later the waitress comes with the order and says, "That will be $12.62." Once again the man pulls exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.

    The waitress can't hold back her curiosity any longer. "Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change out of your pocket every time?"

    "Well," says the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the attic and I

    found an old lamp. When I rubbed it a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes.

    My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, just put my hand in my pocket, and the right amount of money would always be there."

    "That's brilliant!" says the waitress. "Most people would wish for a

    million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!"

    "That's right! Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact

    money is always there," says the man.

    The waitress asks, "One other thing, sir, what's with the ostrich?"

    The man sighs and answers,

    "My second wish was for a tall chick with long legs who agrees with

    everything I say."

  9. An Amish boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.

    The boy asked, "What is this Father?"

    The father, never having seen an elevator responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is."

    While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, an obese older woman in a wheel chair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blonde stepped out.

    The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son .... "Go get your mother."

  10. * oops * wrond section...

  12. On a chain of beautiful deserted islands in the middle of nowhere, the

    following people are stranded:

    Two Italian men and one Italian woman

    Two French men and one French woman

    Two German men and one German woman

    Two Greek men and one Greek woman

    Two English men and one English woman

    Two Bulgarian men and one Bulgarian woman

    Two Japanese men and one Japanese woman

    Two Chinese men and one Chinese woman

    Two Irish men and one Irish woman

    Two American men and one American woman

    One month later, on these absolutely stunning deserted islands in the

    middle of nowhere, the following things have occurred:

    One Italian man killed the other Italian man for the Italian woman.

    The two French men and the French woman are living happily together in a menage a trois.

    The two German men have a strict weekly schedule of alternating visits

    with the German woman.

    The two Greek men are sleeping with each other and the Greek woman is

    cleaning and cooking for them.

    The two English men are waiting for someone to introduce them to the

    English woman.

    The two Bulgarian men took one look at the Bulgarian woman and started

    swimming to another island.

    The two Japanese have faxed Tokyo and are awaiting instructions.

    The two Chinese men have set up a pharmacy /liquor store/ restaurant/

    laundry, and have gotten the woman pregnant in order to supply employees

    for

    their store.

    The two Irish men divided the island into North and South and set up a

    distillery. They do not remember if sex is in the picture because it

    gets somewhat foggy after a few liters of coconut whiskey. However,

    they're

    satisfied because the English aren't having any fun.

    The two American men are contemplating suicide, because the American

    woman will not shut up and complains relentlessly about her body, the true

    nature of feminism, what the sun is doing to her skin, how she can do

    anything they can do, the necessity of fulfillment, the equal division

    of household chores, how sand and palm trees make her look fat, how her

    last boyfriend respected her opinion and treated her nicer than they do,

    and

    how her relationship with her mother is the root cause of all her

    problems, and why didn't they bring a cell phone so they could call 911

    and get them all rescued off this god-forsaken deserted island in the

    middle of nowhere so she can get her nails done and go shopping.

  15. * Dilbert's Theorem **

    Dilbert's "Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers and scientists

    can never earn as much as business executives and sales people."

    This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based

    on the following two postulates:

    Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.

    Postulate 2: Time is Money.

    As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time

    Since: Knowledge = Power and Time = Money

    Then: Knowledge = Work/Money.

    Solving for Money, we get:

    Money = Work / Knowledge.

    Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches

    infinity, regardless

    of the amount of work done.

    Conclusion:

    The less you know, the more you make.

  16. Two Weeks Before Christmas!

    T'was two weeksbefore Christmas, And all through Iraq,

    The people still worried that Saddam would be back.

    The soldiers went out on their nightly patrol,

    Capturing the bad guys was always their goal!

    With raids seeming endless in the triangle Sunni,

    We hoped that not all of Iraq was so looney!

    We gathered the tribe of Saddam, in Tikrit,

    And suddenly now they all started to snit!

    They told of a farm where Hussein just might be

    Odierno then called on our boys- from the great 4th ID!

    More rapid than Baathists our soldiers they came,

    And he whistled and shouted and called them by name

    Now Delta, Now Rangers, Now Cavalry too!

    On Green Hats, on Pilots, I need all of you!

    Go to that farm and secure it right now!

    Capture his a**- you guys know how!

    Off went our soldiers under cover of night,

    So stealthy, so quiet with no trace of light

    While we back at home were eating our lunches,

    Our boys on the ground were following hunches!

    And then it was time for the raid to begin.

    The first target came up -empty within!

    Could it be our Intel was wrong once again?

    No! Somewhere nearby is the wolf in his den!

    And then, in a twinkling, camouflage torn away

    In a hole in the ground did their quarry lay

    Dazed and confused, right at them he looked,

    Did the stupid old fool know his goose was now cooked?

    He was dressed all in rags from his toes to his head,

    And his beard was as matted as 12 day-old bread!

    How the mighty had fallen, could this be Hussein?

    One look in his eyes was to know he's insane!

    Our boys got their man - how proud we all are

    The relief in our country is felt near and far

    A bath he has had now -yet he'll never be clean

    Forever tainted with mass torture and his Fedaheen

    To our soldiers we give our undying respect

    You always give more than we ever expect

    We hope you can have now a night with some fun

    Your loved ones back home say- JOB DAMN WELL DONE!

  17. ... by Rita Rudner.

    1. Men like to barbecue. Men will cook if danger is involved.

    2. Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.

    3. If you buy your husband or boyfriend a video camera, for the first few weeks he has it, lock the door when you go to the bathroom. Most of my husband's early films end with a scream and a flush.

    4. Be careful of men who are bald and rich; the arrogance of "rich" usually cancels out the nice of "bald."

    5. Marrying a divorced man is ecologically responsible. In a world where there are more women than men, it pays to recycle.

    6. Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he concentrates he can help his team. If the team is in trouble, he coaches the players from our living room, and if they're really in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case they call him.

    7. If it's attention you want, don't get involved with a man during play-off season.

    8. Men like phones with lots of buttons. It makes them feel important.

    9. Men love to be the first to read the newspaper in the morning. Not being the first is upsetting to their psyches.

    10. All men look nerdy in black socks and sandals.

    11. The way a man looks at himself in a mirror will tell you if he can ever care about anyone else.

    12. Don't try to teach men how to do anything in public. They can learn in private; in public they have to know.

    13. Men who are going bald often wear baseball caps.

    14. All men are afraid of eyelash curlers. I sleep with one under my pillow,instead of a gun.

    15. A good place to meet a man is at the dry cleaner. These men usually have jobs and bathe.

    16. Men love watches with multiple functions. My husband has one that is a combination address book, telescope and piano.

    17. All men hate to hear "We need to talk about our relationship." These seven words strike fear in the heart of even General Schwarzkopf.

    18. Men are sensitive in strange ways. If a man has built a fire and the last log does not burn, he will take it personally.

    19. Men are brave enough to go to war, but they are not brave enough to get a bikini wax.

    20. All men think that they're nice guys. Some of them are not. Contact me for a list of names.

    21. Men don't get cellulite. God might just be a man.

    22. Men have an easier time buying bathing suits. Women have two types: depressing and more depressing. Men have two types: nerdy and not nerdy.

    23. Men have higher body temperatures than women. If your heating goes out in winter, I recommend sleeping next to a man. Men are like portable heaters that snore.

    24. Women take clothing much more seriously than men. I've never seen a man walk into a party and say "Oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed; get me out of here. There's another man wearing a black tuxedo."

    25. Most men hate to shop. That's why the men's department is usually on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door.

    26. If a man prepares dinner for you and the salad contains three or more types of lettuce, he is serious.

    27. If you're dating a man who you think might be "Mr. Right," if he a) got older, B) got a new job, or c) visited a psychiatrist, you are in for a nasty surprise. The cocoon-to-butterfly theory only works on cocoons and butterflies.

    28. Men own basketball teams. Every year cheerleaders' outfits get tighter and briefer, and players' shorts get baggier and longer.

    29. No man is charming all of the time. Even Cary Grant is on record saying he wished he could be Cary Grant.

    30. When four or more men get together, they talk about sports.

    31. When four or more women get together, they talk about men.

    32. Not one man in a beer commercial has a beer belly.

    33. Men are less sentimental than women. No man has ever seen the movie THE WAY WE WERE twice, voluntarily.

    34. Most women are introspective: "Am I in love? Am I emotionally and creatively fulfilled?" Most men are outrospective: "Did my team win? How's my car?"

    35. If a man says, "I'll call you," and he doesn't, he didn't forget...he didn't lose your number...he didn't die. He just didn't want to call you.

    36. Men hate to lose. I once beat my husband at tennis. I asked him, "Are we going to have sex again?" He said, "Yes, but not with each other."

    37. Men who can eat anything they want and not gain weight should do it out of sight of women.

    38. Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem. "Get out" and "I never want to see you again" might sound like a challenge. If you want to get rid of a man, I suggest saying, "I love you...I want to marry you...I want to have your children." Sometimes they leave skid marks.

    39. Men accept compliments much better than women do. Example: "Mitch, you look great." Mitch: "Thanks." On the other side: "Ruth, you look great." Ruth: "I do? Must be the lighting."

    40. Impulse buying is not macho. Men rarely call the Home Shopping Network.

    41. Men who listen to classical music tend not to spit.

    42. Only men who have worn a ski suit understand how complicated it is for a woman to go to the bathroom when she's wearing a jumpsuit.

    43. Men don't feel the urge to get married as quickly as women do because their clothes all button and zip in the front. Women's dresses usually button and zip in the back. We need men emotionally and sexually, but we also need men to help us get dressed.

    44. Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with superheros. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.

    45. When a woman tries on clothing from her closet that feels tight, she will assume she has gained weight. When a man tries something from his closet that feels tight, he will assume the clothing has shrunk.

    46. Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause. With female menopause you gain weight and get hot flashes. Male menopause - you get to date young girls and drive motorcycles.

  19. Texas:

    Applies to each person as they enter Texas. Learn 'em & remember 'em. East Coast and California-types pay particular attention!

    1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.

    2. Let's get this straight; it's called a "gravel road." I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

    3. They are cattle & oil wells. That's what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-20 and I-10 go east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one.

    4. So you have a $60,000 dollar car. We're impressed. We have quarter-million dollar cotton strippers that we drive 3 weeks a year.

    5. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

    6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

    7. Yeah, we eat catfish & crawdads. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.

    8. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

    9. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.

    10. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.

    11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and Picante Sauce. Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat... It AIN'T REAL CHILI!! Chili was born and bred in San Antonio.... and real chili never met a tomato!

    12. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

    13. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

    14. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards - it spooks the fish.

    15. Colleges? Try The Universidy, Texas Tech or Texas A&M. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come home for the holidays.

    16. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, than any other state, so "Don't Mess with Texas." If you do, it will get you whipped by the best.

    17. Always remember what our great general and govenor Sam Houston once said: "Texas can make it without the United States, but the United States can't make it without Texas."

  20. You may not know that many non-living things have a gender; For

    example...

    1) Freezer Bags -- They are Male, because they hold everything in, but

    you can see right through them.

    2) Copiers -- They are Female, because once turned off, it takes a

    while to warm them up again. It's an effective reproductive device if the

    right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are

    pushed.

    3) Tyres -- Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.

    4) Hot Air Balloon -- Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you

    have to light a fire under it, and of course, there's the hot air part.

    5) Sponges -- female because they're soft, squeezable and retain

    water.

    6) Web Page -- Female, because it's always getting hit on.

    7) Subway -- Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people

    up.

    8) Hourglass -- Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the

    bottom.

    9) Hammer -- Male, because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000

    years, but it's handy to have around.

    10) Remote Control -- Female...... Ha! You thought it'd be male. But

    consider this - it gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it,

    and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps

    trying.

  21. Soldiers on exercice, they have to cross a river. There is a bridge, but there is a huge sign "BRIDGE DESTROYED". The river is cold, the soldier IYFEG does not really want to get wet. After some hesitation, he crosses the bridge. Bad luck, he has been spotted by a caporal who shouts: "Can't you read? What are you doing here?". The soldier answers: "Well, you see, I am swimming..."

  22. A man was driving home one evening and realized that it was his daughter's birthday and he hadn't bought her a present. He drove to the mall and ran to the toy store and he asked the store manager "How much is that new Barbie in the window?" The Manager replied, "Which one? We have 'Barbie goes to the gym' for $19.95 ....'Barbie goes to the Ball' for $19.95 ....'Barbie goes shopping' for $19.95 ....'Barbie goes to the beach' for $19.95 ....'Barbie goes to the Nightclub' for $19.95 ....and 'Divorced Barbie' for $375.00". "Why is the Divorced Barbie $375.00, when all the others are $19.95"? Dad asked surprised. "Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's car, Ken's House, Ken's boat, Ken's dog, Ken's cat and Ken's furniture."

  23. Hi-Ya everybody,

    I got a call from our local newspaper today that I won in the raffle they started about 2 weeks ago (if I remember correctly).

    You were asked to send SMS messages to the editorial staff from where you currently are during summer vacation to say hi to those "loved ones" who stayed home. I sent 2 of those (although I did not go anywhere hehe ;) ).

    Believe it or not, I won the first prize... a new cell phone! (Nokia 7600 (Europe)) worth about $300... Yes, that's supposed to be a cell phone... :blink:

    :o:rolleyes::P:D:lol: fauxcul zoio laughing-smiley yessmiley[1].gif

    EX

    On Monday I am supposed to go to our local T-Mobile Shop where the phone will be given to me by the CEO of T-Mobile Germany (or just by the shop owner? who cares LOL). Besides they will interview me and take a picture. OMG I will be in the local newspaper.... I must not forget to go to the hair dresser :unsure:

    But what am I going to do with the new cell phone? Yeah, probably call people I know. ;) But I already got one (Nokia 6310i) and by the end of this year I may choose another cell phone since my service plan expires then. I'll probably take the Nokia 6260.

    Idontknow

    What am I going to do with 3 cell phones? I know: I will turn 2 of them into cash on eBay :D I just do not know which one to keep... What would you say (taking into consideration design, features, etc.)? You are welcome to bid ;) I'll post the links to the auctions here after I have read your opinions and finally made up my mind.

    I will be in our newspaper... :blink:
