Good Old days
Friday, January 23, 2015 by WOM | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I remember in the old days(Good Old) you had skinners making minimalistic, thin border window blinds with a roll up button. Damn few skinners put the roll up button anymore and it seems thin borders are out. One reason most of my blinds are old.

Stramp and Starkers that is so funny on the roll up. Who would have thought that a lil ol button could cause such problems. Maybe roll up blinds should come with a warning label.
Yeah, WindowBlinds should have a warning if 'rollup' is included. I mean, smoke packets HAVE to have warnings about health risks, and so should WBs. What's that you say, WBs with rollup aren'y nealth hazards? Well you didn't feel my heart racing six to the dozen when I thought I'd lost that window. Yup, there's a potential health risk there alright.
I also reckon they oughta have warnings on ballot papers/at poling stations.... "Warning, IDIOT May Get Elected if Ballot is Lodged Correctly"
That's the diplomatic version... the one that should be posted is: "IDIOT and LIAR Will Be Elected Should You Vote Correctly.:
As you all may have guessed, we have a state election tomorrow Jan 31st... and we GOTTA turn up and vote/get our names crossed off the roll. What a mongel of a way to ruin a perfectly good Saturday morning walk... if one wanted to go for one, that is. Frankly, I'd rather stay at home and turn on the 6 o'clock news to find everybody else had done the same thing., and just couldn't be bothered. But alas, I'd likely get fined for not lodging a completely blank ballot paper... I do that -l eave NO marks - so that nobody gets my vote... none of the bastards are worth it/honest enough for my liking.
Orright, rant off... 'til the next election. 
Anyway, another way to know if you're old... you were around for the 1st caveman elections to vote in a leader..
My vote went to Bertha, Big Bertha Butt, one of the Butt sisters. One night I asked her to sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, and she said: I'll sock it to you daddy, I'll sock it to ya... if you vote for ne in next Saturday's elections." So I did.

Time is coming soon when everything not officially prohibited will be mandatory.

So glad you got a giggle out of it... Trogladyte has been a classic song in my books for years.

Well in that case, I had better get hookers off the prohibited list and on to the 'protected species' one
... cos if anything should be mandatory....

Another way you know you're from the good ol' days [or maybe they weren't so good at the time] but you 'vaguely' remember seeing pairs of animals going two by two and all heading in the same direction.
And those 'old time' windowblinds, Noah put 'em in the portholes to keep the sun out of the living quarters.
Also, nobody try to tell me I'm too old to remember.... cos.... I REMEMBER EVERYTHING. I remember every little think like it were just yesterday.... so long as it wasn't yesterday, today or the day before. But hey, mu long-term memory is good.... and it wasn't a serpent that tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden,
Nah, Doc told me he saw this horny looking fella with a forked tail... and tongue doing it.... and that Jafo was called in to fix things cos Mr 'forked-tongue' spelt apple wrong.
After that, Adam started fantasising and apparently found a new love interest,,,,,

Yeah, Dave your still loved by all (even though no one else said it). Hi Mindy and Diawa. Glad you could join this crazy party.

And I'm not going to, either.... not even in a blokey sort of a way,
Nope, I cop all sorts of flak for even suggesting it, much less admitting it. People like Doc would rub it in and never let me forget it, so I'm not even going to say I even like Dave, just to avoid the ridicule. I mean, he's alright and all that, like he's not a bad bloke or anything, and maybe he's nice in his own way as well, but I'm not admitting to anything.
Something's been puzzling me so I'm just come out and ask: does anybody know when the next anniversray of the good ol days is?

Accidentally has led to a potential collaboration on a skin update, starone. Good times.

Oops Dave snuck in while I was talking to Daiwa. He must have heard the click of my finger keyboard.

You can't hide from me. I watching all the time.

Oh, you 
you. (Actually not sure what this guy is, but it does have horns. Oh, well....)
Reply #136 Monday, February 2, 2015 2:30 AM
I even like Dave
I thought I would extract the good thing out of all that crap you said.
You can extract all you like, I'm still not admitting anything... no matter how many times you put me on the 'list'. In fact, you should write that list on a roll of toilet paper [if you can find one that's not short-sheeted].... cos then, when you run short, that list will get exactly what it deserves.
Oops Dave snuck in while I was talking to Daiwa. He must have heard the click of my finger keyboard.
Yeah, he's a sneaky little bugger like that... a notorious queue jumper around here... and at the lav when he knows you're bustin' ta go. He likes to see the grimace on your face and your knees crossed in dire need. And half the time he doesn't even need to go himself, he's sat there the other side of the door sniggering under his breath at your discomfort. Frankly, that's when I throw the bucket of iced water over the door.
Oh, and Dave, never mind, I'm only picking on you cos most of my other victims haven't been around for a while.

And what a beauty it is, too.... as is NautiKK. Both are fantastic WBs, but I have been unable to comment in the skin galleries for some time now and wasn't able to say how great they are.
Anyway, Well done on both blinds, Starone/Christine, they are fantastic and definitely keepers.

Being the old pirate you are, I figure you must be checking the galley, rather than the gallery?

Now am I to assume that you've put on some weight recently and you've got a complex about the increased girth of your waistline?
Well are you so wrong here. I have been the same weight for 30 years or so. Between 178 and 182. It did go down about 12 to 15 pounds 5 years ago after my wife passed but a couple years later it went back to my usual weight.
Who would have thought that a lil ol button could cause such problems. Maybe roll up blinds should come with a warning label.
All your blinds should come with a warning label.
Sorry couldn't resist.
WOM loves the roll up button,
I love them that is why all my skins have them. Remember the old saying. I'm sure you do as you have been around since the railroad tracks were put down. Skin for yourself.
