"Despite his grand stature, Chilli only grazes on grass during the day and enjoys the occasional swede as a treat." <NT> julesagogo New

WHAT?...Dares one cry, "BULLSHIT"... rroberts New

perhaps he just confused about his sexuality. <NT> davegg New

A California bull? <NT> rroberts New

or an ex former marine. <NT> davegg New

The pictures have a faint air of artifice about them. But Brits would never lie. <NT> ezwater New

 

my deep thought for the day. southeastcreekin New

what if there was no water in the barrel?   It makes it easier. <NT> BoatCaptain New

Preserved or dried fish used to be packed and transported in barrels. Hence. <NT> ezwater New

It's an Idiom meaning that something is "perceived" as being as easy as shooting fish in a barrel TheBroncoKid New

Maybe I just stop in at the NRA convention this weekend and ask them about it. <NT> BoatCaptain New

why waste deep thoughts on shallow barrels? russellfork New

Excellent example of a Post-Modern Day Thinker. <NT> Linwood New

Maybe you should watch the Mythbusters episode where they do shoot fish in a barrel. It's remarkably easy! Wilko New

What are you doing watching American TV?  I thought all of you folks hated us. <NT> BoatCaptain New

Of course we do! Wilko New

Jerry Lewis movies?......we KNOW how much y'all still love them....... tomcat New

he's Dutch not French. <NT> davegg New

I hear the Dutch like him even MORE <NT> tomcat New

Who's Jerry Lewis? Is he related to Louie? <NT> Wilko New

actually its very easy DonVitoCorleone New

ok, but won't the ammo make a hole in the barrel? julesagogo New

probably not - water slows a bullet down VERY quickly <NT> DonVitoCorleone New

well that may be true..but you didn't "shoot" them then did you. You shot "at" them. <NT> southeastcreekin New

either way, the fishes are dead <NT> DonVitoCorleone New

they're swimming with the fishes. julesagogo New

They sleep with the cats. <NT> rroberts New

There's probably a Far Side about that somewhere. julesagogo New

Remember the one with the cat with two wooden front legs looking into a fishbow of piranha?... rroberts New

Mythbusters addressed this one... it's easy to shoot and kill because mudpuppy New

If you shoot at fish in a barrel, soon the barrel will be full of holes, the fish will die for lack of water: done. <NT> GRITS New

 

WHo here believes in Extraterrestrial Life? <NT> BoatCaptain New

heard a neocon say we have enough oil to last at least until we can drill for more on Mars thumper New

Awesome idea! <NT> BoatCaptain New

I'm not 100% positive about terrestrial life. kayak10 New

Ya know that them there Dem Obama middle name is Hussein <NT> BoatCaptain New

LOL I saw the West Virgina interviews as well...good grief! <NT> southeastcreekin New

The only bright spot, it makes the ones from KY seem not so bad now. kayak10 New

Ask me in August/Sept Stifler New

I believe in the existance of Preternatural Life. <NT> Linwood New

The Vatican does.  Even thinks it may be possible alien life may be free from original sin.   CharlieJohnson New

The Vatican has been VERY interested in What is appraching us. Linwood New

Nemesis DonVitoCorleone New

Yes. <NT> Linwood New

I do.  'Cause sometimes I can't find my car keys. <NT> rroberts New

Me.  Better question.  Is the earth the only place in the solar system harboring life? otto New

Extramarital life?  Yeayuhhhhh, Baybeeeeee! Oci-One.Kanubi New

Well, yeh.  But if I was. <NT> Oci-One.Kanubi New

I don't disbelieve... odds are too strong against that position. Chrisj New

With billions and billions of stars, I`d say yes, but probably too far away to reach for a blind date.... rbowman New
