Shooting the breeze

[John O.]

Congrats of finding the new banter thread. Please do not sink to insults, crassness, or deragatory remarks to crack a joke. May the blarney begin.

We know what blarney is. Our politicians & newspapers have been feeding it to us for years.

Only we call it bovine fecal matter.

New train of thought. Solve this riddle. Made of ten but two are we. Five apart we are weak, five together havoc reek.

How about 2 groups of 5 shots on target. If 5 are apart, the group is "weak" BUT put all 5 together and you have a "screamer" group that may not easily be overcome! Decent guess>>but maybe on the wrong train of thought! LOL!!

I'm guessing: "Hands"......?

You need two of 'em to shoot a rifle.

Yes it's handses. But what are the five apart and together?

It is interesting you use the term "shooting the breeze". It is an old term that comes from missing the target and the bullet just "shot the breeze".

What is a banter thread? Well I get it but what is the subject?

 

[Eddie Harren]

"banter" is a Lower Slobovian word meaning "befuddle jonbearman".

I made a thread titled primer deactivation to ask if charcoal lighter fluid would make the compound inert so I can dispose of it safely. I got not only a few legitimate ways of properly disposing of them but quite a few good natured rib jarring. The best way of explaining it would be for you to read it.

 

[John O.]

"bovian".

Mooooooooooooo......

 

[John O.]

The upper SloBovians say that that is a ba-a-a-d joke.

 

[John O.]

They say that you can go a few seconds without air, three days without water, a weak without food, but an entire lifetime without a new idea. My question is this how long can you go without reloading something once you are hooked?

Reminds me of the sheep ranch my grandfather bought up in Wyoming in the 1940's. Turned out to be a baaaaad deal.

Why was that? Was it near a military base? Those stupid animals would die of heart attacks from the constant buzzing of joy riding pilots.

Can you guess how PETA is hypracritical?

This one is EASY! They want to "save the animals", yet they are a supporter of abortion, which in reality is infanticide!
