"Obscenely" Something or Another

Nice! But last guy who came by to pick me up in something that small, I ended up having a laughing fit. :playful: It is a beauty though.
 

The other ladies probably do; most of that car would lift up with my hips when I try to get out, believe me, I know having tried getting out of similar makes. Not a pretty sight to see, nothing lady like about it. Give me a Jag if I have to go there.
 

A Jag, eh?

Off-topic, I know, but the only Jag I ever owned was an XKE, the phallic-looking one. It sure was pretty but mechanically it was a nightmare.

Ahhh, Lucas, prince of darkness someone once told me that Lucas makes refrigerators and thus the reason Brits drink warm beer.:D:D:D:D

Funny you mention that - I owned that Jag and three TR-6s, all with Lucas electrical systems.

It would have been easier having one of Nikola Tesla's lightning machines in them.

So many times the cars wouldn't start if there was the slightest amount of humidity in the air, or they would arbitrarily decide to quit on me in the middle of nowhere, only to suddenly decide to start up again 3 hours later.

I don't hold many grudges but Lucas electric is one of them.
 
Jackie Gleason

OK to go back? Gleason's show was live, which meant mistakes made, and script loss, had to be quickly and easily "covered-up", this being something the man seemed innately perfect at. In one unforgettable scene in which he is playing the young, rich society guy, I forget his name, Gleason lights up a big cigar, explaining it's high cost and rarity to show off his "status", then a serious coughing spasm occurred, obviously not in the script. It lasted quite awhile, when back under control, with a perfectly straight face, he held the burning cigar out at arm's length, quietly examining it, then with the most-satisfied facial expression, he said, "It pays to buy the BEST!"

It was absolutely hilarious! imp

It is obscene to find I've finally reached an obscenely senior age. How obscene? The obscenity of reaching such an obscene age becomes obscenely clear as I step from the shower, turn around and see myself in that obscene mirror on the wall. It really strikes me as obscene how obscenely Mother Nature has cast her obscene hex that has caused my once obscenely muscular chest to gravitate downward and transition into an obscenely non-muscular waistline. Mother Nature, I hereby offer you an obscene gesture... that is if I could get my obscenely arthritic fingers uncurled for an obscene moment in time to do so!! :)

Ha! Well done! In fact obscenely well done Grumpy!

It seems like words move in trends too. Like 'awesome'. That used to bug me too. Or 'good on you'. Like are you commenting that my shirt looks 'good on me'? Or is there something 'on' me and you're glad it's on me, not you???

Has there ever been a pet peeve thread? Phrases/words that irritate would be a pet peeve that I bet we'd each be able to contribute to.

One "getting our goat" is "I'll be waiting on you", meaning waiting FOR you. Waiting ON you implies providing service, like in a restaurant. Another: "No problem", said in response to either a request or other remark. imp

I think it might be a regional thing ... a lot of people here in PA say it, thus why I am driven to commit violent acts in public. I don't remember ever hearing it in NY.
