What made you laugh your ass off today?

[Nightbird]

Or maybe they had cold toes like Scalywag does?

Hey Scalywag what does Scalywag mean? Do you know?

 

[Eilan]

I'm laughing at my own stupidity.

Today was my older kiddies' first day back to school after being off since December 16th. For the past couple of weeks, I was sleeping in as much as the kids would allow, so I've gotten off schedule. I set the alarm for 6:50, just like I always do on school nights. I was so wired from watching football games all day that I didn't get to sleep until almost 6:00.

When the alarm went off, it took me almost two minutes to figure out what the hell it was and how to stop it. I kept trying to unplug the electric blanket, and when that didn't work, I had to get up and turn on the closet light so I could see what I was doing. Then I came to my senses.

My husband was wondering why I didn't just shut the alarm off.

I most relate the term to a Pirate. But your defination is a good one.

There are several spelling variations, the most common being scalawag or scallywag. I could not use either of these (or scaliwag) as a screenname, so I assume I am not the only scalywag here.

the term is commonly used to mean scoundrel or rascal or something of the sort. I can somewhat remember it also meaning a southern (american) person working for the fed. government after the American Civil war. BTW, I think his northern counterpart was called a carpetbagger.

A friend sent me an email about real calls to an IT dept. and the silly thing people were saying. Cracked me up! Just amazes me how people can use computers everyday at work and still not know the basics of them.

Heres a small example:

Customer: I can't get on the internet.
Tech support: Are you sure you used the right password?
Customer: Yes, I'm sure. I saw my colleague do it.
Tech support: Can you tell! me what the password was?
Customer: Five stars.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - A toilet brush with a tag that says "Do not use for personal hygiene" has taken top prize for the wackiest consumer warning label of the year, according to an anti-lawsuit group.

The Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, M-LAW, whose main mission is to reveal how lawsuits and anxiety over lawsuits have created a need for overly obvious warnings on products, sponsors The Wacky Warning Label Contest each year.

Other top finishers this year include:

-- A scooter with the warning "This product moves when used."

-- A digital thermometer with the advice "Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally."

-- An electric blender used for chopping and dicing that reminds users to "Never remove food or other items from the blades while the product is operating."

-- And a three-inch bag of air used for packaging that read "Do not use this product as a toy, pillow, or flotation device." Full text

Photos of the other contest-winning products and their labels (Funnier, IMO)

Thanks for sharing this Eilan. I can empathize with you. Once I was so exhausted and went to bed around 8 or so in the evening. A loud sound woke me up. I kept hitting the snooze button but it wouldn't shut off, I tried to turn the alarm off. Then I thought I had set the ringer on the stove and ran to the kitchen but that wasn't it. I was finally awake at this point to realize that it was my phone ringing.

I've done that before. Fortunately, the rest of my week went relatively smoothly.

On an unrelated note:

It's hilarious to watch four and five year olds playing basketball.

OMG, yes! Also hilarious is watching the same age group trying to play soccer.

Hockey is even better! Not only hillarious, but cute as hell.

Now trying to coach that age group, however...

my little league coach had a little trick he used to help cope with the stresses of coaching us youngins... he drank... particularly during the games... always had a hip flask on him.

now i realize why we always came in 6th place out of 6 teams.

I'll relay that information to my daughter. She works for a city parks and recreation department, teaching beginning sports skills to 4 and 5 year-olds. They have attention spans of about 5 minutes--on a good day.

Just wait until March.

With all the equipment hockey players use, they're liable to tip over backwards.

The city sponsors a football program, starting at age 5 or 6 I think. All suited up, those little kids look like bobble head dolls.

I've got one for you.

Here the little kids have to wear a cup when they play baseball. It's the first time they've ever worn one so they all hit them in amazement.

Picture a whole team of little baseball players *knocking* on their cups and looking down as they do it.

We had that in my [much older than little kids] Taekwondo class--the instructor wanted to make sure the guys were wearing cups before we had any sparring matches. One man had brought his, but didn't have it on, and had to go into the bathroom to don it before he could participate. "Now you know where to aim when sparring with Mr. I****!" the instructor quipped.

During my week off from work I saw a clip of two little boys doing just that on America's Funniest Home Videos--it won the money. Too precious.

Visiting with several colleagues and coming up with some new terminology in regards to students. For instance, one student (approx 16 years old) that got implants: The one with "augmented dairy character"
