Forum: Lost Stories

Thank You!!

Want to know the really terrible thing? Once I read the synopsis, I recognized the story. Have read it 3 times...last time was only a month ago. I actually remember almost every detail...except that my brain for some reason wasn't connecting Al's football plays with the rest of the story. UGH!! My brain really is starting to crap out on me.

Thanks again for the assist.

You too? Sucks, don't it.

Of all the things I have misplaced, it my mind I miss the most

"Lost: 1 tired, highly-used, possibly broken brain. If found, DO NOT APPROACH!! Call for back-up immediately! Lost brain has been identified as degenerate, slightly unstable and unreliable. Answers to various aliases: Huh? Idanhfnbablah? Ummm... and (most frequently used) UGH!"

Uh you might try looking for it in the white house inside the president's head

You know that most political elections are held around the beginning of November in the US ... which explains why October is considered the Month of Horror! Not because it culminates in Halloween but because of all the political advertisements, rallies, debates and other political BS we have to put up with constantly during that month.
Politics = Poli + tics
Poli = indicates a plurality, many
Tics = form of noun used to identify certain external blood-sucking parasites

the higher up they aspire to reach, the worse they are

A corollary to Lord Acton's' postulate.

I really like Heinlein's definition of an honest politician: one who stays bought.

My definition of "honest politician": A mythical creature that does not exist, much like a unicorn.

I heard that on a recent episode of NCIS. I thought that was a joke.

I guess Scotland doesn't have any start-ups with a value of a billion.

No joke. As a Scot, it has been part of our culture and mythology for a long time.

From

The unicorn: a mystical beast, representing both purity and innocence, power and ferocity, adopted as the national animal of Scotland in the 1300s. The unicorn is also the natural enemy of the lion, adopted by English royalty some 100 years before…

That was why one appeared at Hogwarts, which is somewhere in the Scottish Highlands

Someone I know put forth the supposition that if the description was passed through several people and someone squints REALLY hard the rhinoceros is a viable source animal for a unicorn. There is an extinct variant from Siberia that matched even closer.

So the Scots are refugees from Siberia?

I know plate tectonics are responsible for India ramming Asia - and creating the Himalayas - but shifting part of Siberia to Scotland must have taken a massive cue ball, and a short cut through the North Pole.

Yes, but it probably hasn't move twenty miles since humans arrived there. Plate tectonics is slowww. If anything, their ancestors may have seen something during their migrations.

The Appalachians used to be part of Scotland and Ireland. I assume the geographic similarity is why the Scots-Irish settled there.

Real unicorns have curves!

Elasmotherium sibiricum was a type of rihno (horn on the forehead not the nose) that lived during the time of the mammoths. There is a belief that drawings of this animal would look like a horse with a horn and that this is a possible source of the unicorn. Elasmotherium sibiricum fossils show that the animal weighed between 8,000 and 10,000 pounds and with dating placing extinction some 39,000 years ago they where sharing Eurasia with both modern humans and Neanderthals.

I can see how that wouldn't be popular. How could a male fuck a female with his forehead protuberance while simultaneously giving her cunnilingus? A nasal protuberance would be much more effective.

A nasal protuberance that is perpendicular to the jaw bones wouldn't be any more effective than a forehead protuberance.

As I see it, a nasal protuberance sticking out horizontally

Since the consideration up thread was unicorns and rihnos, the horns are vertical not horizontal.

Not to mention the whole size problem (length of horn vs length of vagina).
