The name of my invention is simply called the A-Hole Tester. I came up with this idea while at my neighbor Bob's house. He knows everything, just ask him. Anyway, we were always lighting our farts on fire while watching Fox News. I realized that if an A-hole were to blow on an open flame they instantly burst into flames. Now that I think about it, I can't remember that last time I didn't see Bob on fire. Anyway, who would like to fund my invention and get my idea off the ground?

There are always a few people running around with their hair on fire around here.

Why is it everytime we have a meeting, Fred turns into a 'Hot Head;!
Dr. Nguyen Van Falk May 31, 2012 at 01:26 am
your idea sound suspiciously familiar to my "Gay Hole Tester" You should be expecting letter from my lawyer.

All I did was lie cheat and steal..Why did you light me on fire? It was just a joke.....

I can't have that dog in here! I can't have that!

Is this a sequel, because it sounds like a Nick Cage movie? The one where he is on a plane taken over by cons, as he's on his way to a honeymoon in Vegas...

Has anyone seen my pants?
Billable Hours May 31, 2012 at 01:52 pm
No, but it was directed by Adam Shankman. You may remember him as the guy who directed the 2005 Vin Diesel megahit The Pacifier. It grossed more than $3,200 worldwide, which is impressive for a Vin Diesel movie.

Maybe you left them next to Dr. Nguyen Van Falk's "Gay Hole Tester".
Billable Hours May 31, 2012 at 02:04 pm
Doctor I am sorry for any confusion, but I'm failing to see how my "A-Hole Tester" invention could be confused with your "Gay Hole Tester" body part!
Bob May 31, 2012 at 04:52 pm
Ummmm....we said we were looking for a new executive with a fire IN HIS BELLY!!!!!
Bob May 31, 2012 at 04:55 pm
Why did we hire this Dem liberal? He has plenty of fire but no brains or substance!

Bob June 5, 2012 at 02:24 am
No more than you, Tom. The difference is that I made a post on topic with some humor and thought. That's in contrast with your post, which showed neither, probably reflecting its poster!
Tom June 5, 2012 at 03:32 am
Um, bob...that was my caption. I hadn't even read your posting. Jeez.
Bob June 5, 2012 at 11:52 am
HA HA! My apologies, Tom. I've been taking so much flack lately that I made the presumptuous assumption that because you uused my name you were talking about me! I need a vacation.......

Bella Cain was a nice surprise last year for a first-time band last year. Nice to see them backRead More this year.
Colleen McAbee June 18, 2013 at 08:28 am
Disappointed once again to not see 7th heaven on the roster. They have the best vocals out there,Read More even without their lead singer Keith Semple who defected to start a solo act. This band actually gets radio air play. Haven't heard any of the others at Oakfest on the radio.
Dutch Oven Chef June 19, 2013 at 09:38 am
Have any of you whiners ever seen the crowd at OakFest when Infinity is playing?? There are wallRead More to wall people in the tent and out into the grass around the tent! I agree that 7th Heaven was very good as well but maybe their price tag got too high for a neighborhood fest....
Robert Quilico June 11, 2013 at 07:31 am
Stephanie, not sure how to do so. Joe, thanks for your concern. We are still hoping to find someoneRead More here that may know of the dog. We are not looking to cause it any harm, just looking for information.

I hope that you find the owners of that pet! I bring my black Shepherd up there when we go...oneRead More reason I don't let my dog go with neighbors is because neighbors can't control him like we do. The owners should have been more responsible. I'm glad that your daughter is alright and I hope that you find the owners of this dog!

I dare anyone to name a more dangerous intersection then that. The turn from 147th st west bound toRead More southbound Oak Park is the worst I've seen. One slip and your car goes down a ravine 20 feet. The civil engineer and county people who approved that design should be called out. We NEED HELP!
