I notice when I sign in, 99% of the time I am at the bottom of the list. Now I'm not complaining....in fact, I find it rather amusing.
So am I "bringing up the rear" or am I the caboose. As I understand it, the caboose is a very important part of the train.
Be kind in your responses. :-)

Even I won't...

..touch this one. It's a true minefield.
I'm just crazy, not insane or stupid.
Being the caboose is sorta like being the last sled dog in line - you continually get a face full of snow. the only dog to be is the lead dog!
Good night GH

My wife chose the smallest elephant because she thought it looked cute. The elephant in front of us , the one with the gastro-intestinal problem, was quite tall so we had a great view of its rear end !!
Like you , I blame GH totally for starting this !!

Now Waitaminit, there...

...GH! You shoulda KNOWN this would happen. Surely you have been to a circus & seen an elephant parade where one follows another, tail of the one in front grasped tightly in its trunk - JUST like a train, w/ the smallest on at the rear, tightly grasping the high up tail of the one in front - just like a caboose!
AND...what follows all the elephants? Hmmmmm? Of course, a couple guys w/ superduperpooperscoopers & brooms sweeping up behind - & what they are scooping sure ain't congealed nasal drainage.
Then living w/ 5 men, trying to serve up bowls of couth for supper, you shoulda KNOWN that this would happen.
Yer Honor, as chief persecuter, I demand the max sentence.

Wait a minute...

I was talking about trains. I never mentioned ANYTHING about elephants....or their excrement. I won't mentioned who did (Ian).
We can file this under the forum for jokes...or maybe... interferences??
Yes, I am bored. My house is clean and here in the US, the Super Bowl for football will begin in about 3 hours so we are awaiting the big event.
Don't forget, I live with 5 men (new rumor). So I have no choice but to stay a step ahead of them and their humor. I love the challenge.
Blake: You may want to just skip this thread. (I probably should have posted that at the top but I did not know the boys would steer it this way).
Just goes to prove.....boys will be boys! And then they blame the girls. :-)

Ian: Yes, it's ALL GH's fault.....

...She started it and we are too weak-willed to resist. I would say that she took advantage of us. She should know better.
I think the proper charge in a court of law would be "Contributing to the delinquency of an Old Fart." It should be worth a much heavier sentence than "Contributing to the delinquency of a minor" since us older types have far more experience at getting into trouble and are far more devious & treacherous. You know the old saying "Age & treachery can usually over come youth & skill."
Well, it's a rainy Sunday afternoon in Georgia, USA, guess I'll take a nap. it will keep me out of trouble for an hour or so. At least till I wake up & come back to the computer to check in here.

geez...

I was going to say i thoroughly enjoy reading your (grateful heart) comments and posts and I have learned a lot from you. so much for the serious side with "the boys!". :)
I agree

Yer Honor.....throw the book at them.
My guys are very funny, my husband too....but always respectful. Nothing crass....at least not around me.
BTW, did you hear the one about the...

Never be last
by IAN MC - 2015-02-01 05:02:35
A couple of years ago my wife & I went on an elephant trek in Thailand . It was great fun sitting up there on our elephant which was the last in a line of four until the elephant immediately in front us developed diarrhoea. !!
Now I always try to be at the front in everything I do !
Cheers

Runningmama: since you are always in the middle, it sounds like you are along for the ride.
Sarah3: I like your theory about the caboose.
Capecod: Us girls have to stick together.
Donr: There is no way anyone could have KNOWN this would happen. You guys (you and Ian in particular) are famous for taking a thread off course and onto another track. Sometimes even jumping the track.
Yes, laughter is good medicine.

I've noticed something about...
by donr - 2015-02-01 11:02:11
...the lists, too.
I NEVER come out at the top - even when I just sign in.
BTW: Did you know that there are no longer cabooses on trains? Hmmmmm?
Well, at least that is w/i the thread topic.

Elephant diarrhea isn't a problem

if the wind isn't toward you & your elephant is taller than the one in front of you.
GH, it's ALL your fault. Now it's gonna become an elephant thread, which is way bigger than bears or squirrels crossed w/ rabbits.
Blake will be tearing his hair out over this one - that is IF he has any left!
I cam see where you will be on his "Naughty" List. First it was reindeer, then snowmen & now elephant dung! Lady, to quote a past President of the US - you are, indeed, in "Deep Doo-Doo!"
BTW ( I told you I shouldn't get int this one - or one about potatoes - ) Have you ever wondered what zoo's do about all the elephant dung the generate?
In Milwaukee, they dump it into a huge pit w/ vertical walls to decompose. Everything was fine till the day the worker who shoveled the stuff into the pit fell in. An EMT had to be lowered on a rope to help get the guy out because he broke a leg in the fall. IIRC, the rope broke & dumped a second victim in. Story was in the Milwaukee Sentinel when we lived there back in about 1988.
The Atlanta, GA Zoo had a whole herd of the beasts - some entrepreneur collects the stuff, makes elephantine winrows of it to compost & sells it as a fertilizer called "Zoo Doo." Anyone want a truckload? it's available.

Cabooses
by Grateful Heart - 2015-02-02 10:02:44
Yes, sadly there are not many cabooses left, technology and all.
Nice way to put this train on the turntable.
You guys are always good for a laugh.

What Do You Call the Monkey in the Middle?
by Runningmama - 2015-01-31 10:01:47
You may be in the back playing Caboose, but I am always listed somewhere in the middle? What do you call the monkey in the middle? The caboose has a job, but I'm confused, am I just supposed to follow the leader?
