That's a jazz, or disco, dancing polar bear so it is not applicable...for a proper polar vortex polar bear it needs to be wearing a tutu or leotards and doing a fast pirouette

Could be contemporary ballet.

Tired. Misread this as "but we are not underwear". Provoked a curious mental picture.

"We are not underwear" would be a good fortune cookie.

But if you insist...

 

[Xue Sheng]

But if you insist...

Not a polar bear therefore it does not qualify as a polar vortex

 

[Dirty Dog]

Not a polar bear therefore it does not qualify as a polar vortex

Not all polar bears are white.

 

[Xue Sheng]

Not all polar bears are white.

Well that's a myth and possibly an ad hominem....

sorry I couldn't resist....I've seen that used a lot lately in ridiculous situation so I thought it might apply here

I am getting tired of you,

 

[Xue Sheng]

I am getting tired of you,

Sorry, I blame the extreme cold for my need of absolute correctness on this polar vortex issue...by the way...they're not pirouetting

Had chinese for lunch yesterday and the fortune cookie read: The only without a thorn is friendship. Any ideas what the hell that means?

Well, all roses have thorns, and friendship doesn't have thorns, so if friendship were a rose there would be no thorns. Pretty self explanatory Steve

Longer. I'm pulling the engine to rebuild it. It's making 815HP, but the rotating assembly (crank, rods, pistons) are cast. That's a liability, because it's the weak point. So in my massive spare time, I'm replacing those with forged components. Then I have to decide if I want to turn up the boost and go for an even 900HP. Or 1000.

Ah, a complete report on the patient.
I hope the surgery can be completed in time for favorable road trip weather!

But some friendships do have thorns.

Yes it would.

As an aside this wasnt the funniest ive personally received. The funniest was: fortune not found .

 

[Steve]

And the second funniest is the one I consider to be the fortune for the millennial generation: it doesn't take much to be a success.

So true.

No, but at the rate you are going, I will send them after you any minute now.

A little bit of chilly weather has reduced up to this...Can't we all just get along...don't make me have to throw out the unfounded "ad hominem" accusation

[Gerry Seymour]

Because Xue's cookie was off .

I have decided to take offense and get unreasonably angry, cast all sorts of aspersions, and be proud of my irrational hatred, at the association of the fortune cookie with things Chinese because it is not Chinese and it comes from the Japanese actually......after they were in America.
