  2. A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller.

    He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.

    "Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $15,000 loan to take a holiday."

    Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name.

    The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.

    Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.

    The frog says, "Sure, I have this", and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about half an inch, bright pink and perfectly formed.

    Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.

    She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $15,000, and he wants to use this as collateral".

    She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"

    (you're gonna love this)

    (It's a real treat)

    (masterpiece)

    (wait for it)

    The bank manager looks back at her and says......

    "It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone".

    ((You're singing it, aren't you???!!!) :D

  4. And so we sail towards the dawn

    Joining those who gently mourn for you

    It’s only because of you

    Friends may come and friends may go

    The only friend I need to know is you

    It’s only because of you

    Mighty castles, lonely kings

    Hear the ragged children sing it’s you

    It’s only because of you

    He who smiles at lofty schemes

    Stems the tide of broken dreams is you

    It’s only because of you

    It’s only because of you

    And when the storms have died away

    Only truth will live to say it’s you

    It’s only because of you

    And when the darkness flies away

    Only love will shine to say it’s true

    It’s only because of you

    It’s only because of you

    In The Eye of The Storm

    Roger Hodgson

  5. Welcome to The Talon House. I'm happy that you decided to pay a visit to my little corner of the 'net. I want to let you know what my vision for this site is and then maybe you can help me contribute toward that, and maybe make it your vision as well.

    The Talon House is a place where anyone is welcome, no matter what characteristics they may have, provided that these few guidelines are observed:

    1) This forum is not a "pick-up joint." Some of our members may be minors in the eyes of the law and it is much appreciated if we keep that in mind.

    2) Everyone is here to have fun.

    3) Personal attacks of any kind do not belong in this forum. If there is a personal dispute between you and another member, please conduct it via Private Messages or E-Mail. There is a forum where you can complain about a members behavior. Still, this is NOT your excuse to belittle them. SO DON’T.

    4) If there seems to be a problem with a member that doesn‘t get properly handled, the Owner, and ONLY the Owner will have the final say.

    5) Everyone is free to be who they are here. No one is here to judge you or criticize you for how you choose to live your life.

    I am pretty laid back, but where protecting this community is concerned, I am not. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt until they show me they don't deserve my trust. I reserve the right to take actions I deem necessary to protect this community from what I judge to be inappropriate or harmful.

    I hope that all of you will feel welcome enough to post in the forums and join in the discussions there.

    Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or concerns you may have, and I hope to see you all on the forums.

    Other rules will be added as needed.
