One of my all-time favorite fluff threads was the Control V thread, inviting everyone to randomly slam down the Ctrl V and see what was there. I was going to resurrect the old one but my meager Hatrack Search skillz yielded nothing, so here's the new version.
Here's my Ctrl V:
--- Title Track Duration Artist Album Genre Bitrate Sample Rate File Size Wedding Chorale 17 4:57 Cast Recording Les Miserables Original Cast Sound Recording 7162965

p.s. If someone with better Hatrack Search skillz than me finds the old thread and bumps it, I'll delete this one.

My step-grandmother Alvina was an extra in it (or possibly the sequel, I forget which). She passed away in her sleep this weekend. Posts: 1805 | Registered: Jun 1999

Thanks Valentine. I was actually looking for the really old one that appears to now be gone. Since the one in your link is also a reincarnation, I'll just keep this thread around. I like my title better Posts: 786 | Registered: Jun 2003

Hormones are involved in almost every function of the body—from the reproductive cycle to how fast your heart beats and your skin grows and wrinkles, from how much you remember and how sharp your thinking is to how much energy you have on any given day. They affect how your bones and muscles grow or disintegrate, where your body puts on fat, and the strength and direction of all your emotions.

This is a neat thread. I was creating a timeline for some info I got from the History Channel website that I will be using on Monday in my class.
Ctrl-V: Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in).
The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winter.

Nope, just part of a purchase order number that I needed to paste into another field. Although, I hope I would never absent-mindedly paste my CC# into a forum while following the instructions at the beginning of a thread.

Explanation: Someone posted an ad for a LJ rating community in one of my other communities, I wanted to find out what a rating community was, so I searched for their community in another window. I still don't know what one is though.

-- Cirdan (Pretty cool, but a relative nonentity) -- Rosie Cotton (same as above, except for the 'pretty cool' part ... *runs for cover*) ++ Prince Imrahil (A cool enough minor character with cool enough lines and a cool enough name to get my votes)
Denethor: Denethor rode in his carriage, Boromir next to him, Faramir behind him. He waved to the crowds as he passed, and indeed there was a crowd. Without warning three arrows went right the Steward. Many screamed, few looked for where it came from. Days afterward, people found the shooter who shot from high up a castle wall, but did not release his name. Many people insist that an arrow came from a grassy knoll, but that can not be confirmed. Saruman: His love of machines finally caught up with him: was pushed into a prototype steam powered forrest clearer by Grima. Treebeard later used his body as fertilizer to help trees grow again in Isengard. Wormtongue: Eowyn gets sick of Wormtongue stalking her all the time and ties his tongue to a tree, where he eventually dies of dehydration. Isildur was skipping along the forrest mindlessly tossing bread crumbs as he went. Everyone did always say that Isildur was a bit nutty. Along the way, he saw a house made out of gingerbread candy and immediately started eating. He ate and ate and ate until Shelob popped out and ate him whole. Shelob died 3 days later of food poisoning and intense allergic reaction. She was allergic to nuts. Tom Bombadil was skipping through the woods one day when he tripped over a nasty root cluster and fell into a nest of ravenous squirrels. They never found his head. The Mouth of Sauron put the Foot of Sauron into himself. Inevitably, the Mouth of Sauron died of humiliation. Arwen died of grief and shame when Aragorn dumped her at the altar and married Glorfindel instead. That was her reward for choosing mortality . .
No explanation needed, I think...

Ctrl-V: To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad. Of all the imaginary friends I've had, I don't think there was one that I didn't end up having to kill. Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see.
When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.
Instead of trying to build newer and bigger weapons of destruction, we should be thinking about getting more use out of the ones we already have.

Even though I was their captive, the Indians allowed me quite a bit of freedom. I could walk freely, make my own meals, and even hurl large rocks at their heads. It was only later that I discovered that they were not Indians at all but only dirty-clothes hampers.
Anytime I see something screech across a room, and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing.

(not my ctrl v) I just love Jack Handey, those quotes crack me up every time I read them.
(also not ctrl v, just addin' some of my favorite Handey quotes to the mix): One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.
A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."
Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth you'd probably be able to get a lot of free games.
If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink.
I bet when the neanderthal kids would make a snowman, someone would always end up saying, "Don't forget the thick, heavy brows." Then they would all get embarrassed because they remembered they had the big hunky brows too, and they'd get mad and eat the snowman.
Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaught on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."
I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system.
Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.
I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they chose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.
I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, "What was THAT?!"
The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.
What is it that makes a complete stranger dive into an icy river to save a solid gold baby? Maybe we'll never know.
We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients. But we can't scoff at them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys me.
Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.
As I bit into the nectarine, it had a crisp juiciness about it that was very pleasurable - until I realized it wasn't a nectarine at all, but A HUMAN HEAD!!
Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make a child look like a deer.
If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.
Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the persons house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of it's head with a note that says "You." After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.
If you ever teach a yodeling class, probably the hardest thing is to keep the students from just trying to yodel right off. You see, we build to that.
If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."
As we were driving, we saw a sign that said "Watch for Rocks." Marta said it should read "Watch for Pretty Rocks." I told her she should write in her suggestion to the highway department, but she started saying it was a joke - just to get out of writing a simple letter! And I thought I was lazy!
If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone.

Not the most user friendly phone number either. Go figure that the website isn’t the most up to date. When I put in Grafton’s zip code it gave me a number for over at Fairmont General. So…. maybe (once whoever is over there gets back from lunch) I can get this taken care of this afternoon. Thanks,
