Its Nostalgia Week at Oprano!

[MorganGrayson]

I'll lay odds that at some point in this guy's life, somebody said "you know, you should really get a hobby."

What else would you do with 15 million ice cream sticks?


AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A replica Viking ship made of 15 million ice cream sticks is to be launched in Amsterdam on Tuesday by a former Hollywood stuntman who hopes eventually to sail it across the Atlantic.

The 15-meter ship, which took Robert McDonald two years to build, is to be launched in Amsterdam harbor with a crew of around 25 in a bid to set a world record for the largest sailing ship made of ice cream sticks.

The Viking longship, equipped with oars and a mast, is built with sticks of birch-wood glued together painstakingly by McDonald and two volunteers in a Dutch workshop. It is to be put through its paces for around 90 minutes Tuesday.

"It's a dream come true. It's truly worth all the hard work," McDonald said Monday.

"I never want to look at glue again. I don't think I will be in a hurry to look at ice cream sticks again," said the 45-year-old from Jacksonville, Florida.

The ice cream sticks used to make the ship were provided by Unilever's ice cream maker OLA and by children who collected discarded sticks around the world.

McDonald, whose Sea Heart Foundation (www.seaheartship.com) helps provide leisure activities for children in hospitals, hopes to sail his Viking ship across the Atlantic next year.

"That's still the ultimate goal, to sail across the Atlantic in the Viking-style," McDonald said.

Christopher Columbus was acclaimed for centuries as the man who discovered America in 1492.

But in recent decades, more evidence has come to light showing that Icelander Leif Ericsson and the Vikings were the first Europeans to set foot on the American continent in the year 1,000.

Viking longboats let Norse warriors land, pillage and plunder large parts of Europe and sail off knowing that no other vessels could catch up.

Serge, since doing business with you includes a fucking up the ass at some point, is there an extra charge for it?

Got my Martens on with steely toes
Spike my hair and pierce my nose
I’m goin’ up to Punk Rock Heaven

Hippie Hell awaits you, Jack
Unless you take that tie-dye off your back
And jump the track to Punk Rock Heaven

The smack up there is pearly white
There’s always time to pick a fight
The leather pants are nice and tight
The Pistols play there every night

If I was you I tell you, son
I’d pierce my nipples with a staple gun

The smack up there is white as snow
Pack my bags, man — here I go!
Maybe in an hour or so
I’ll catch a G.G. Allin show

Hey every junky, punk and freak
If Manic Panic makes you weak
Then follow me and catch that train
Pleased to meet you, Kurt Cobain


Vick ann that's where I be tonight ;-)

Haha, one time Serge farted in my company. The poor guy, I went off on him so bad that I think he ended up with gas bloat afraid to relieve himself around me again.

Wow, we really do need to get lives if the only thing to do is talk about farting.

Cleo (.)^(.) No farts here

well at least you admit it Cleo. Serge rips farts and just lets it linger around the board for an hour basking in the scent of his own handiwork. Nobody is brave enough to confront him on it.

i'm starting a movement to have the phrase 'Check it out!' banished. Hopefully the kids are working on some new lingo, this one's done.

Until I hear what the hiphop kidsare saying on the streets these days, I'm gonna go with 'Take a gander over there feller!'.



CHECK IT OUT!

it must be depressing and kind of devistating emotionally, to spend a lifetime telling yourself that everything is the "will of Allah"... then know that you are being totally decimated with absolutely no chance of survival at the same time.

Oprano is NOT making $100,000 a month in ads,

"do you still wanna challenge russkies raised and born?"

There is a twist to it D$...
Here is the real situation:
Russkie born and raised with an Australian thrown in the mix. The Australian thrown in the mix is the deciding factor don't forget to look side to side cuz he wants some play as well don't doubt that!

Its so American to have more balls than braines its always admirable! What mainstream is clearing 100k a mo in paid ad's on the net?
Only a handful mang and those I writtin on IOU's!

Hello everybody!

Nice contest you guys have going on here...

[Dravyk]

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel!
You're as cuddly as a cactus
You're as charming as an eel,
Mr. Grinch!
You're a bad banana with a
Greasy black peel!

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch
Your heart's an empty hole!
Your brain is full of spiders
You've got garlic in your soul,
Mr. Grinch!
I wouldn't touch you with a
Thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot pole!

You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch
You have termites in your smile!
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile,
Mr. Grinch!
Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the, um, seasick crocodile!

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch
You're the king of sinful sots!
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched
With moldy purple spots,
Mr. Grinch!
You're a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich
With arsenic sauce!

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
With a nauseous super naus!
You're a crooked dirty jockey
And you drive a crooked hoss,
Mr. Grinch!
Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable
Mangled up in tangled up knots! You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch
You're a nasty, wasty skunk!
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk,
Mr. Grinch!
The three words that best describe you are as follows and I quote:
Stink, stank, stunk!
