Yea, and the Minnesot'ns probably think the Los Angles airport
is in LA. :)
...lew...
Actually, the LA airport actually is inside LA city limits, there is this
long tentacle to reach it.
 
New Law!

With the high rate of attacks on women in secluded parking lots,
especially during evening hours, the Minneapolis City Council has
established a "Women Only" parking lot at the Mall of America. Even the
parking lot attendants are exclusively female so that a comfortable and
safe environment is created for patrons.

Below is the first picture available of this world-first women-only
parking lot in Minnesota.

I can't think what could explain all those clean, (mostly) undented
cars sitting in that exact position. Maybe they were pushed up
against that wall by a flood, but wouldn't they be dirtier and in
worse shape?

If you zoom in, you'll see that for those cars whose wheels are
actually on the ground, the ground comes up to the rims.
The ground appears to be a layer of mud.

I don't know anything about it - I got it in email from my brother.

Now that you mention it, that is an interesting question. :)

Thanks,

Having lived through several large flash floods I'd say that is just the bottle
neck of a flowing torrent. Yep - mud on the tires and all over....

Scottsdale is at least as well known as Phoenix.

How d'ya work that one out, Jim?

Phoenix - immortalized in song. - "By the time I get to Phoenix".

Winslow likewise - "Taking it easy"

Other than being the residence of your good self, what is Scottsdale's
international claim to fame?

But Minneapolis is a metropolis, isn't it?
In the Summer time :) The headcount on the streets start changing.
More are in cars.

Not downtown, they're not. Nicollet Avenue, which is pretty much the main
drag of downtown Mpls, is a no-car zone. It has buses, and you can pretty
much walk wherever you want. Lots of bicycles, too.

In the wintertime, people use the skyway system:
http://www.tonnhaus.com/portfolio/city_area/mpls_skyway.htm which are
heated, and connect to all of the stores. They're all on the second
story, so they're like bridges over the streets and avenues.

Speaking of skyways, according to these guys:
http://www.minneapolis.org/travelinfo/skyways.asp
"It connects most of downtown Minneapolis in climate-controlled bliss."

Cheers!

No doubt. Bring 'em on! Here's a couple more I like:

http://www.sodwork.com/piccies/picpage.php?img=123&type=2

the iMac joke would have been funnier if the "genius" who came up with
it hadn't misspelled "women".

as it is, it reads:
"iMac for men."

shows iMac.

"iMac for woman"

shows a clothes iron with the iMac colors.

creative, but not "clever."


likewise, these men are merely proving that they are
1. stupid
2. illiterate

the caption to a pic of a computer monitor face-down on a copy machine

"A females guide to printing Word documents."

The word "females" requires an apostrophe ( ' ) to indicate the
possessive. "female's guide."


Cute, but not "clever."

No gold star for the day.

What do I do?

I'm a retired writer, one who actually bothered to get an education, a
BA in my chosen profession. BA Journalism.



That said, HOWEVER, thanks for a referral to a male-oriented humor web
page. I am one who is tired of men getting it in the shorts and in the
gonads with such mind-numbing shows as Home Improvement (whose theme
was how stupid and inept and clumsy men are),
Everybody Loves Raymond (ditto Home Improvement), etc.

Where did all the intelligent professional WHITE men go?

Seems our only positive role model these days is Bill Cosby (who I
LOVE, he just doesn't represent ALL successful, educated men)

And when HE tried to get the young punk youth "Rappas" and
"Hip-hoppas" to turn their hats around straight, get rid of the
gang-banga baggies, lose the filthy song lyrics "Gonna go home and f*
my B*", and stop pretending to be gangstas, he was booed.

I don't agree. "Home Improvement" was meant to show us that there
are some men who shouldn't touch power tools. You can't tell me that
you have never met a man like "Tim Taylor". The others on the show were
generally good at working with their hands, but "Tim" was fixated on
"More Power!" when it wasn't needed.

Have you ever met someone who spends all their spare time trying to
boost the output of a car's engine, or has blown up at least opne engine
while pushing it too far? I've met plenty of people who build race cars
and they will blow an engine before they will let another car win.

Like this?
