Gondolas don't leave a wake.

Duh.

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

Isn't the wake in the bottom right hand corner? And he's on the right side of the wake as he faces the back of whatever is pulling him? Although, if that were true, the line would have to be really long, which doesn't make much sense in such a confined space--unless the boat or wave runner is now crossing over to the other side. Nevermind. The wake in the bottom right hand corner is from whatever the cameraman is riding in.

I have given this question far too much thought and now I'm afraid I have none left for work.

Me too. I'm no wakeboarder, but try throwing my ass off a tube!*

the last time i did that was in Lake Ouachita, down by Broken Bow Oklahoma. I heard a story about a family friend in Florida jumping into a lake and hitting a ball of water moccasins; they sleep in a ball. The guy got bit like twenty times and died.

I couldn't stand being a lake that had water moccasins; I couldn't just enjoy the ride.

I really don't see how people live where there are venomous snakes.

on the other hand Venice's canals have no snakes, but sewage does go straight into them, so that dago is water sking in shit water. Coltrane, wanna bet he doesn't take a fake fall?

What's more annoying is those fucking bubble packs all the sudafed is sold in, instead of the nice, convenient 50-tab bottle.

Re: Aleve Cold & Sinus
 

if you don't measure them properly then the meth comes out wrong and people can get hurt. i just think the manufacturers are trying to idiot proof the measurement to avoid Products suits down the road.

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

It's called wakeboarding, not water skiing. And he's not Italian. Looks like you're back in the hole.

Re: Aleve Cold & Sinus
 

I think meth may bring out the OCD in some people, so the opportunity to pop out hundreds of bubble packed pills may actually be welcomed.

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

A guy on a moped named Giovanni who tilts his head and says "Ciao" while winking at the ladies. It's not more than a foot of water, you can see pedestrians standing in the background, so it's unlikely that it's a watercraft pulling him.

TM's boss can thank me later for getting his mind back to figuring out who has the best ratio.

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

Aw shit, my second guess was a winch. Third guess was Bigfoot. Fourth guess was a UFO, and the fifth guess was Hank's sense of humor.

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

oh. i see he is dutch. what a strange people. they plug holes in dykes to keep water out, then go boarding in sewer water?

I'll tell you another thing, these people keep "reclaiming land" from the sea and moving their borders closer and closer to us and our allies. I'd keep an eye on them if i was in the governement still. WTTW.

His "lifelong dream?" Sad, but I guess he can die happy.

Re: Aleve Cold & Sinus
 

Did you forget to include the word "single-serving" after the word "convenient"?

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

That's not the big thing that people usually notice on Flinty, but ok.

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

The caption on boston.com (The Big Picture) said he is Dutch.

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

Due to a copperhead incident when I was ten, I have horrible snake phobia. Yet, somehow I managed to make peace with the fact that I live in snake country. I just loudly announce my presence (much to the amusement of anyone human (and possibly canine) around me) whenever I go into what I consider snake territory (i.e. the outdoors in the country).

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

Some scientists yesterday debunked the ratio theory.... Is Thurgreed too moving on?

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

I complete that assignment before noon each day. In fact, I've already moved on to figuring out who is dumber: Plaxico Burress, a professional athlete who accidentally shot himself in the leg in a night club while already injured, involving other teammates, changing the location of the accident to Applebees (like that helps), getting the club worker in trouble for allowing him in with a gun, getting the hospital worker in trouble for presumably bribing them to keep them from reporting it to the police and for being an all-around douchebag or the cop who took a loaded gun to a classroom to demonstrate safety, shot himself in front of the class and continued with the demonstration, limping around while trying to bring out another fucking gun!:

Indeed. Even though I can't see that post, metaphysically I sense its good tidings and reciprocate. The corner office dwellers need to stick together, albeit ignoringly so.

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

Debunked? I don't think so.

I think this last quote is a leap, but, in short...

Translation: Thurgreed is not moving on.

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

I bet the cop is still employed.

Isn't that really just a question of who has the stronger union rep?

If you would have asked me in 1989 if Neil Patrick Harris and Alec Baldwin would be on the list of actors who shouldn't be funny but are absolutely hilarious whenever they feel like it, I would have said, "You're crazy. They're not fresh like Eddie Murphy."

atticus will enjoy this one at least
 

thanks for reminding me about the "all the things the bible says" part. i almost forget that each year i need to order imprinted copies of Luke 18: 25 to go with my associates end of year bonus checks.

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

to me the main difference is that Burress is paid to hang onto stuff better than that.

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

He figured the incident would go unnoticed because of the constant hail of gunfire that fills most Applebees' restaurants. But he should have gone all the way:

"911, what is your emergency?"
"I just got shot at White Castle!"
"Please hang up, dial 311 and press '7' for noise complaints. Thank you."

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

Plaxico.

Or the guys at the Gun Club in Westfield, MA who let minors fire Uzis. And the ER doctor who let his recently departed son fire one.

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

everyone hates on michigan state people. if you were an athlete who matriculated at an instituion where sports victories were often folowed by police car burning, wouldn't you want to be strapped when you go outside?

and another thing, has this Hansbrough guy ever been called for 1) travelling 2) over the back or 3) offensive fouls? I'm really curious.

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

He's the only one professional enough to have a Glock .40

Re: Flooding in Venice.
 

Does Hansbrough also play for Maryland too? Or is there some other excuse you'd like to use for that one?

Re: Aleve Cold & Sinus
