Does anyone else cheat at tic-tac-toe?

[Atlproctor]

GM everyone. How are you?

Here are 3 questions ( yes they are silly)

that I thought would put a smile on everyones face?

1. Crunchy or smooth peanut-butter

( me. crunchy all the way)

2. Do you walk naked in front of your pets?

(me. yes. and I am sure they are sick of it)

3. Who's cooler The Fonz or Oscar the grouch?

(me. Oscar. I mean really what was in his can?)

Sure we can talk about world politics, the environment, religion, and all kinds of things. But let's all come to agreement that a laugh and a smile is just what we all needed to day.

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador]

Very funny, Atlproctor Thank you for this laugh.

1. Neither

2. They walk naked around me

3. Oscar in a can? Is that the saying?

Now that the cat is out of the bag... where does that saying come from?

[falalalala in reply to carolek572]

Page 38, second paragraph of "The Hobbit".

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to falalalala]

I will have to trust you on the one as I don't have that book anymore or I cannot find it...

[falalalala in reply to carolek572]

I would not trust that statement in any way.

Believe me this time! 🤣

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to falalalala]

Snap! I am so naïve!

[falalalala in reply to carolek572]

You are a nice person, so there!

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to falalalala]

Is that a consolation?

[falalalala in reply to carolek572]

Here are some consolation prizes for you!

youtube.com/watch?v=JeOdmoS...(Not working as expected?)

[falalalala in reply to falalalala]

Why did anyone sign up for these shows??🤣

[Atlproctor in reply to falalalala]

Why were most of the consolation prizes snack foods?

And diet 7up... . Just tell the lady to kick rocks you lost.

[falalalala in reply to Atlproctor]

🤣

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to falalalala]

Takes one to know one.

[falalalala in reply to carolek572]

🤣🤣🤣

[Atlproctor in reply to carolek572]

You are welcomed.

Well, on Sesame Street Oscar the Grouch was always in a trash can. The old fashioned metal kind.

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Atlproctor]

I thought that the saying was 'Prince Albert in a can' and I am not too sure what that was in reference to. I am more of the understanding of the saying ~ Is your refrigerator running?

[Atlproctor in reply to carolek572]

OK well all that has made me laugh very loudly. Prince Albert in a can is a saying. I think it was some kind of of meat, canned meat product.? And I have heard about the refrigerator running

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Atlproctor]

Ahh, back in the day, my fun was to call a friend anonymously and ask that question, and wait for their reply of 'yes' so that I can tell them to go and chase after it down the highway! Try and do that with caller id!

And Prince Albert in a can might be canned meat, like Spam. That would also be a question to ask someone, and if they say yes, then you would say 'well, you had better let him out'. But I didn't ask that because I am not sure what it was either.

[mrsmike9 in reply to Atlproctor]

Prince Albert, I believe it was tobacco!

[Atlproctor in reply to mrsmike9]

Mrsmike9buffering how are you?

Other folks have said that same thing

[mrsmike9 in reply to Atlproctor]

I'm hanging in there. How about you?

[Atlproctor in reply to mrsmike9]

mrsmike9buffering Honey I'm doing about the same. I'm just glad it's not raining anymore. I keep wanting to have my car washed but then it rains.

[Kenu in reply to carolek572]

Prince Albert was rolling tobacco came in a can. You would call someone and ask if they had Prince Albert in a can? They would say yes. And then you would say “let him out “! Old joke 🤣😆 Ken 🐾🐾

[Atlproctor in reply to Kenu]

Kenu, thanks for the info.

I never knew all of that.

[goatgal in reply to Kenu]

Another old one involved calling up someone to ask if their refrigerator was running. Those were bored rich kids. Poor kids were not allowed to tie up the party line with their foolishness.

[Atlproctor in reply to goatgal]

Goatgal GM. I heard that one before. Sorry for my ignorance but whats a party line? I think I know but I wanna be sure we are talking about the samething.

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to goatgal]

Yes, I remember that I was not allowed to touch that phone, unless it was an emergency. Most of my friends lived within walking/bicycling distance so why do you need the phone. No party line as that was before my time, perhaps, but I don't think that those existed in Canada. A party line was when several people had the same phone number but the ring would be different so it would let the different people know if the call was for them, I think.

[goatgal in reply to carolek572]

Children in my family were also not allowed to use the phone much, and since we were charged for usage (if I remember correctly), we were not allowed to talk very long when we did. I still have those long ago instilled habits.

[goatgal in reply to goatgal]

Well, young friend, back in the olden days, in the last century (the one I was born in), rich folks could have a private telephone line. Folks like mine with less money to spend on frills, had a party line...which meant that three or four customers might share the same line though we all had different phone numbers. If someone at our house was using the phone, the other parties could not use theirs. If we needed to use the phone, when we picked up our receiver to call, we could hear either a dial tone or someone else talking. If someone was talking and another customer picked up the phone, we would hear a click and know someone was either trying to use their phone or listening in. Often, older lonely people would listen in...probably just to hear a human voice.

[greaterexp in reply to carolek572]

Prince Albert was a brand of tobacco. I still have one of the old tins.

[Atlproctor in reply to greaterexp]

Really? I have never seen one.

I always thought it was some kinda canned fish?

[hairbrain4 in reply to Atlproctor]

That's Tony the Tuna.

[Atlproctor in reply to carolek572]

Thank you. I'm glad I put a smile on your face.

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Atlproctor]

I am still smiling and giggling, my friend Thank you

Thank you, you got the brain thinking. Blessings Jimeka 🦋

[Atlproctor in reply to jimeka]

Jimeka, I love crunchy.

And yes you are right he was not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

[hairbrain4]

1. crunchy

2. Yes

3. Oscar-I like his attitude.

[Atlproctor in reply to hairbrain4]

GM, how are you?

Oscar had plenty of attitude.

I guess anyone would living in a trash can? LOL!

[goatgal]

Smooth because of my teeth but I prefer crunchy, naked feels good/no bra anytime feels great, Oscar less glib and more interesting

[Atlproctor in reply to goatgal]

Morning. Oscar was interesting.

He was always looking for something in that can. And he always seemed to have company over.

[Peruzzot]

1. Creamy

2. Don't currently have any pets. But may have when I was little.

3. Oscar. No competition.

[Atlproctor in reply to Peruzzot]

Peruzzot thankyou for your reply.

Have you ever tried the jar of peanut butter and jelly mixed together?

[Peruzzot in reply to Atlproctor]

I haven't tried those yet. I like to make my own jelly. Though my last batch never gelled so I got strawberry syrup instead. Tastes great on pancakes and waffles 😍

[mrsmike9]

1 - don't like peanut butter unless it's in a Reeses candy cup

2 - naked in front of pets, sure! They do it to me!

3 - neither. Like my critters the best!
