“Why is it……”

T

Have you ever seen or heard something more than once, and thought “Now why is it… (insert situation here)” ? I’ve got a few, and interested in hearing what ya’ll might be wondering about… Why is it… -…That many of the dippin’ and chewin’ videos have people wearing baseball caps? Is it an unwritten requirement for dipping that I didn’t hear about? -…That some people think sagging pants is ‘fashionable’? Its ridiculous that some people wear belts and STILL sag. - … That some teens say “What?” when you know they heard what you said… Now what are you wondering about???

D

this sounds like a racist thread just waiting to happen…lol…just kidding. but seriously why is it that most all of the members here are awesome?

S

I just can’t stop thinking about snuff. I’m obsessed!

  1. … errrm … not got a clue … I must be watching a different kind of vid online … :-" 2) We are old - we don’t get it any more. Remember the way folks our age looked at us back then … same deal … they didn’t get it then … we don’t get it now. The only difference is that we have now figured out that “IT” isn’t worth getting, because it’s bloody stupid! 3) … I left my teens a long time ago, and … errmmm … I do that too :(|)

Baseball caps are the peak in redneck high fashion. Sagging pants is the male fashion response to the longstanding plunging neckline in female fashion. Think of it as male cleavage.” Teens lose 60% of their hearing due to loud music… I thought that everybody knew that!

M

@howdydave : Due to WHAT?

H

@Matou LOUD MUSIC!

M

Ah, proud boozing. Thanks. Sorry for confusion, old punk in my forties, guess it’s not just teens.

T

hahahaha!!

Well years of death metal has done me no harm, just speak a bit louder

Because we just are. LOL, but no, definitely not my intention to make it a racist thread. I had a couple of boys in my morning martial arts class at a private school, and they were saggin. I said “Could ya pull those pants up?” They both looked at me and said “huh?”. "C’mon, you heard me, pull them pants up. you’re not gonna be able to kick like that. And why are you guys wearing your pant’s like that all of a sudden? They said “cuz its cool”. Gaaah. Really?

H

@Matou – Is that you mom? I didn’t think you knew how to use a computer… Tell your nurse’s assistant that they need to change the batteries in your hearing aids sometime this week.

B

1.And they all follow Nascar and have a rebel flag. 2.if they had an ass their pants would stay up 3. they can’t hear or see if it isn’t a text message. I am sure when we were teens the fogies would say look at those long hair hippy freaks smoking those filtered cigarettes wearing those flannel shirts with the tails not tucked in and that crazy rock and roll music they listen too. Congratulation, they now play your music on the oldies station and in elevators ,your officially a fogie welcome to the club! did you get your AARP card? “Urban Dictionary -An old fogie is a person who is old enough to know that John, Paul, George and Ringo were members of the musical group : The Beatles” And I know their last names too

Im an old fogie at 19? well, how times have changed haha.

Me Either!

Why do white people always have just one or two bars of soap and rarely use washcloths? Pretty gross when you really think about it. A Chappelle Show skit reminded me of this one. Let’s just say I use washcloths now.

H

Why is it that so few Americans use a tongue scraper in their oral hygene program? Finish brushing your teeth and you still have all that crap on your tongue which is the primary cause of bad breath!

X

Because you can just as easily brush your tongue with the toothbrush. Mine gets all brown stained from tea all day and needs it.

T

I have a toothbrush with a tongue scraper on the back of it. Or I just use a spoon to scrape my tongue as part of daily hygiene. Amazing what kind of funk comes off one’s tongue.

Me too. Well, it was half a century ago , lol.

B

that things actualy exsist. … That we have minds that work the way they do. …Why is that even possible?

T

That whenever I place an order, a new snuff comes out that I want to try, and/or one I’ve been meaning to try that was out of stock gets restocked?

D

I was watching to much Tosh.0 when I posted my earlier comment.

runs with scissors

why do I look for excuses to use the insightfull button?

@TomStrasbourg…I THANK YOU, I thought I was the only one that happened too… In 5 orders in 5 months, one of those situations happened 4 times already…the worst was this…2 weeks ago stalled checking out shopping cart ( after 2 emails from MS of out of stock snuff, had to rework cart, one being taxi blue when 9 units listed ) so I stalled 3 days more waiting on TAXI Blue to show up again ( based upon Dave’s post about expecting delivery from South Africa ) Wouldn’t you know it next morning TAXI BLUE appeared again after checking out and paying for order the night before…Super PISSED OFF!

T

Why is it that some (some not all) bicyclists think its okay to break traffic rules? Then they get all mad when you almost bump them with your car when they break a traffic rule?

X

because motorists don’t die when a cyclist hits them

5

Because they don’t need to worry about insurance like the rest of us, plus we can’t take their reg number down and report them, and if anyone “road rages” them, they’ll be the ones being defended

T

I once had a cyclist put his hand on my car at a stop light to keep himself upright. Geez, put your foot down to hold your own arse up!

P

Why is it the bus comes right after lighting your pipe ?

N

Why is it necessary for a R.V. motor home manual to explain that cruise control is not an auto pilot option, who got up from there seat, lived and had it be that this is noted in manual.

_

Why is it the dogs lick their testicles?

5

Because I won’t let them lick mine

B

why is it when your in a hurry you get stuck behind blue hair and knuckles going 20 miles under the limit/and then hit every red light?

S

Why is is when you’re in traffic and its slow moving, is there always one person who has to leave a huge gap of about 6 car lengths? Why do I always get stuck behind that person!!

T

…and why is it that after driving in a heavy traffic jam, that all of a sudden traffic just opens up and gets back to speed? Must be that slow moving person leaving a 6 car gap then getting bumped off the road.

Why is it in my first ever year of deciding to grow vegetables, my plants are just ready to go out in the garden and a frost is forecast at the beginning of May 8-|

@50ft_trad…don’t get a lawyer, we believe your defense…I HOPE?

B

Why is it someone quote’s me and I don’t find out till I revisit that thread? @@@

M

eBay… Why do people start bidding on items really early causing the price to become super over inflated? Some peoples logic is beyond my simple conception!

B

@MisterPaul to answer your question. I see something I want, I bid once at the most I am willing to pay. I don’t do bidding wars. What burns me up, is you think your winning and the last 100th of a second someone hyjacks the auction for .50 more

S

@thorgrimnr I need to find him and punch him! It doesn’t work on a single lane road either! grrrr

T

@Skell18…on a single lane road - I can see how that would drive anyone nuts.

N

What burns me up, is you think your winning and the last 100th of a second someone hyjacks the auction for .50 more

and that is the reason I don’t put snuffboxes I’ve sniped in the “What’s in your Mailbox?” thread, I am that someone >:)

X

Even when you give a gentle “toot” on the horn 100+ yards before you catch-up to them, just to let them know you are approaching in your car & please be aware, better go single file. But Oooh no the majority of these “lycra louts” think they can cycle in any fashion they care to.

Just so you know, I can hear your noisy car coming without the horn. Except on very quiet roads I expect a steady stream of traffic to be approaching from behind, and I look back regularly. A horn often startles me and causes me to think something is seriously wrong. I usually offer a one finger salute back to the motorist who thinks he is “helping” me. I do however, always ride single file if I’m with a partner or group.

Good to hear that you’re a responsible cyclist. But not all are, unfortunately. The ones here in Seattle have complained that motorists give them a bad rap, but then decide to run red lights, decide they want to be pedestrians and ride on the sidewalk or take up a whole lane riding solo. I dont get it.

X

I treat red lights as stop signs and stop signs as yield signs. Not technically legal except in Idaho. We’re working on changing the law here and in other states. These laws were made for motorists and I keep the spirit of the law, if not the letter. I ride on sidewalks when necessary (though I do try to avoid this) and go the wrong way on one way streets when necessary. I do still consider myself to be responsible. If you ever spend more than a few hours riding around town on a bike you will soon see why we do what we do. A bike relies more on momentum than a car, yet can stop much more quickly and is more maneuverable. Most of the novices I’ve seen get too terrified of the cars and quit after their first attempt, and I understand them. It takes skill but most of all to pay attention and know what is going on around you. most of the motorists I see have got a cell phone in one hand, coffee in the other and sometimes a cigarette in the other. That takes three hands! Which hand is doing the driving? Where are the eyes? Don’t mean to rant, be we’re seriously the underdogs here.

N

And don’t you just love how motorists think the bike lane is for them and honk and yell at you when they cut YOU off in YOUR bike lane 8-|

B

Much better then the old

…and why is it that after driving in a heavy traffic jam, that all of a sudden traffic just opens up and gets back to speed? Must be that slow moving person leaving a 6 car gap then getting bumped off the road.

Actualy the slow moving person hit a cyclist and now is speeding away to avoid the police.

B

And you guys put It nicer then I would have. Why is it that some cyclists expect me to respect their life and safety when they don’t?

_

Why is it you can’t reason with ignorance?

B

I just want to add I don’t have a problem with most cyclists. Some cyclists seem to think that their safety is all on everyone else.

N

Every village has a couple of idiots, it seems to be a contagious role, speaking for myself, I know I’ve had a couple of stingy moments in life that may forever haunt, but do not in any way make up the entirety of my character. Everyone I’ve known and know is not without there scars, the key is remembering daily and minimizing reaction and damages beyond the uncontrollable. Easier said than done. Happy commuting, may you reach the destination 30 seconds before the bad cyclist, and buy the good cyclist a coffee. Having ridden motorcycles and bicycles for over two decades now, I can tell you it’s the rider that gets your attention, that you don’t run over, but as always, there are due respects on both ends. I say foam pad the roads and give us bumper cars, coffee on the run would have new meaning, better put ice in it. 8-}

T

Why is it that your wear your safety goggles while using a power trimming to edge the lawn and nothing hits your head for quite a while , and the *one and only time*you take the goggles off to check the alignment with clearer view, that a piece of lawn smacks you right in the eye?
