This thread was intended, apparently, to enlighten, not to be a game, but now it is being filmed in tunstyvision. :D

Wisecracks, humorous sarcasm, lampooning, and a strong ability to be able to laugh at one's self are the name of the game on FreeOnes' Bulletin Board ...

The more replies it gets, the more chance a thread has of being inducted into the Tunsty hall of fame...

I'd put it in, but I've learned nothing from it... 'the more you don't know' :dunno:

OK, fine. I'll think of three things you can not possibly know:

(1) There is a street in Orange County called Camino Capistrano and at the beach at the end of it, it was 78 degrees fahrenheit on Christmas Day in the year 2000.

(2) The best looking girl at my University, Amanda Iosco, left and went to college in North Carolina

(3) Ani DiFranco, Brian Mcnight and Johnny Rzeznik are all from Buffalo, New York, but Alexandra Quinn is actually from just north of Buffalo: Niagara Falls, Ontario. So there.

Ha! Now you can't say you knew all of that, can you Tunsty?

I read it, but I'm not sure I wanted to know it.
There again, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have know that I might not have wanted to know.
Now that I do know, I'm sure I can accept what you have told me and know that it is indeed something that I needed to know...
Whether I knew it or not.

In the State of Kentucky State law stipulates that a person is considered sober until he or she "cannot hold onto the ground."

The British comedian Frankie Howerd used to say in mock astonishment: “I’m flabbergasted—never has my flabber been so gasted!”. That’s about as good an explanation for the origin of this word as you’re likely to get. It turns up first in print in 1772, in an article on new words in the Annual Register. The writer couples two fashionable terms: “Now we are flabbergasted and bored from morning to night”. (Bored—being wearied by something tedious—had appeared only a few years earlier.) Presumably some unsung genius had put together flabber and aghast to make one word.
The source of the first part is obscure. It might be linked to flabby, suggesting that somebody is so astonished that they shake like a jelly. It can’t be connected with flapper, in the sense of a person who fusses or panics, as some have suggested, as that sense only emerged at the end of the nineteenth century. But flabbergasted could have been an existing dialect word, as one early nineteenth-century writer claimed to have found it in Suffolk dialect and another—in the form flabrigast— in Perthshire. Further than this, nobody can go with any certainty.

IE; x4g63x is flabbergasted by this thread.
