Could your Walmart flip-flops give you chemical burns?
They may look innocent enough, but these $2.44 Walmart flip-flops have ended up costing hundreds of dollars after leaving their wearer (ironically a former Walmart employee) with some fairly severe burns when she wore them for more than a few minutes. I've put the picture of her feet under a cut to spare the squeamish, but needless to say this is a far cry from the usual blisters or sore patches we often get when we're wearing in cheap shoes. Two distinct strap-shaped burns appeared on her feet, which then scabbed, cracked and blistered, leaving her in agony, forced to fork out for emergency medical care...

Yes, apparently everyone is being given a second chance.

Yes, I've seen some of the departed on the members list but they haven't posted as yet.
It makes me happy to see "some" of those names.

I could have done without one of the returned, who has been actively posting. But otherwise I like the new policy.

I'm not happy about one of them too. Fortunately he's a troll and I'm sure it's just a matter of time before he gets banned again.

Once upon a time there was a large bear with a broken leg. He was tending to his broken leg when he heard a fly buzzing aroun his ears. He wanted to shoe the fly, but had no shoes small enough to fit the fly! THe ENd

Holy shit a talking dog

So, my first job was working in a library.

One day, a chicken walked in and clucked at me "Book!"

I blinked, because I could have asked me for a book. I said "What?"

It clucked again "Book!"

I gave it a book, and it tucked it under a wing, and walked out.

The next day, the chicken walked in again and clucked at me "Book book!"

I gave it two books. It tucked them under its wings, and walked out.

I was beginning to wonder about this, but shrugged it off.

The next day, the chicken walked in again and clucked at me again "Book, book book!"

I gave it three books. It tucked two under one wing, and one under the other, and walked out.

Ok, by this time I was getting really curious.

The next day, the chicken returned, and clucked "Book, book book book!"

I gave it four books, and it tucked two under each wing, and walked out.

I began to formulate a plan.

The next day, the chicken walked it, and clucked "Book, book book book BOOK!"

I gave it five books, and like the previous days, it tucked the books under its wings, and walked out.

I decided to follow it. It took a left out the door, walked to the end of the block, and turned right, and crossed the street. I went up 3 blocks, took a left, walked a block, then turned right and walked a block. It then turned left again, walked half a block then took a right into a house.

I dashed up to the house and peered in the front window. Inside the living room was filled floor to ceiling with books. There, in the center of the room was a big bullfrog.

The chicken walked up to the bullfrog and said "Book, book book book BOOK!" and the bullfrog croaked "Read-it, read-it, read-it, read-it, read-it."

........Marco..........

You know, I never heard of that game until I was in my late 20s or 30s.

SAME HERE! I was well over 30!

I can't even remember exactly how it first came up - it had something to do with somebody in a crowded room looking for someone else, and they called out MARCO- another answered POLO!! Well, everyone else laughed, and I had no clue what was so funny.

A short time later in a conversation somebody said something like, "It was like a game of Marco Polo." That's when I asked, "What IS this Marco Polo thing?...." and my eyes were opened. Everyone seemed to think I must have been raised in a cave.

Given how it has apparently been ubiquitous in the lives of every American child other than me (and now, apparently, you) I've always wondered how I escaped hearing about it. I went to camp - they had a pool. I had friends with pools. We played kid versions of water pole, water basketball, water hocket, and more. But I NEVER heard of the game "Marco Polo" until I was in my mid 30's.

Probably explains a lot.

So what was your excuse?

I don't recall ever doing anything in a pool except swimming in my youth. In adulthood water polo. Maybe it's a regional thing? I think my introduction to it was an ad on tv or something.

10-4 me too good buddy.

10 Items You Think Make You Cool, But Don’t

2008 Hot 100
The ultimate list of the world´s most beautiful women.
Maxim.com

BS. The vast majority of those women don't even meet my definition of good looking, much less beautiful. That's a list of plastic photoshopped models.

I like some of the comments about the list, especially the one that said "YOu think it is cool to make a list of items you think make you cool, but don't".

How come I never heard of most of those things before?

I was disapointed when I looked at one of the singers I like...
Avril Lavigne...
IMO, she went from a real cutie to a slutty pooty!

Interesting. I probably wouldn't even recognize a singer I like.
