I haven't seen candlepin lanes since I was a kid. I bet most people don't even know about candlepins. Same ten pins but tall and skinny, about a 5 inch diameter ball with no finger holes that weighs about three pounds
you practically throw the thing down the lane.

in new england, it's mostly candlepin... i think i'll bike down to the canldepin bowling lanes in peabody and suggest that they replace the pins with small models of oil refineries.

In Canada, it's 5-pin mostly, though some cities have US-style 10-pin.

In Quebec, they play "duckpin": 10 pins, but a 5-pin ball.

"The more you know"

Okay, maybe no one else thot it was funny..but good lord knows that I needed a laugh, and it gave me one!!!

LOL

Because humor is based on human suffering, depletion is poised to usher in an era of unparalleled levity.

Making hard-core Doomers the "Comic-Philosophers" of the future, paradoxically.

So if I'm destined to suffer the consequences of of our hydrocarbon folly, then I'm determined not to miss the inherent humor along the way.



So... what's funny to you?

Irishman with a bad back walks into a bar and sees Jesus at the other end, "Barkeep would that be the Holy son of Joseph and Mary?"-Yes"Fix em up with a pint" Jesus nod and drinks the pint.

Austrailian with a bad knee walks into the bar and asks "Ey mate fix jesus up with a Lager" Jesus nod and drinks

Redneck walks in"Hey is that God's boy over there, fix him with a shot of wild Turkey"Jesus nod and drinks.

Jesus stands up, heals the Irishman's back then heals the Austrailian's knee. Before he can get to the redneck the redneck Shouts:

Jesus Christ don't touch me I 'm on Disability!!!"

Here's the one I posted the other day.

JibJab cartoons are funny, and the latest one just came out. Go to JibJab's homepage and click on "Big Box Mart". Wait a little bit before playing it, or else it will stop in the middle because the whole video has to load.

brilliant, as is the usual from jibjab.

I didn't listen to it, but obviously it's based on the monster mash song. If you like our current administration, you will hate this...

Let's take a breath and have a little laugh;
Peak Oiler: "hmmm, from these figures it looks like the sky is going to fall"
Anti-Peak Oiler: "from THESE figures it looks like the sky will never fall"
Doomer: "these figures are very disturbing, looks like the sky will fall and the world will end. Soon."
Anti-Doomer: "even if the sky falls it wont mean much"
Peak Oil Groupie: "wow. The sky is going to fall, cool"
Anti-"Peak Oil Groupie"-Groupie: "cool, look at all these stupid Peak Oil Groupies"
Nuerotic Peak Oil Groupie: (running in circles tearing hair and clothes) "oh my God the sky is going to fall"
Capitalist Peak Oiler: "hmm, i'm going to corner the sky market"
Capitalist Peak Oil Groupie: "hmm, there's money in 'the sky is falling' T-shirts"
Slimey would-be Capitalist Peak Oil Groupie: "wanna buy a genuine 'the sky is falling' watch?"
Capitalist Nuerotic Peak Oil Groupie: "i need to make as much money as i can now because the sky is going to fall"
Socialist Peak Oiler: "if we all work together we can mitigate the effect of the sky falling"
Socialist Neurotic Peak Oil Groupie: " we just gotta work together because the sky is falling"
Machiavellian Capitalist Peak Oiler: "i'm going to do anything it takes to corner the sky market"
Machiavellian Socialist Peak Oiler: "i'm going to do anything it takes to make people work together to deal with the sky falling"

I'M AN A**HOLE!!!!!!
