more stuff I don't know, regarding prefixes.

flammable and inflammable. What? Also, privation and deprivation? Why aren't these pairs opposites?

Because English is a lying, thieving, whoring language?

:D

yes, well, you're right, of course. I already knew that. the privation/deprivation pair is new to my awareness.

Sick and tired by the way you do
Good time papa gonna poison you
Sprinkle goofer dust all around your bed
Wake up one of these days, find your own self dead
She said you shouldnt say that
I said what did I say to make you mad this time baby?
She said umm...
I dont know
My oh my oh my
She said I dont know but my babys holding down

The woman I love has got devil in her jaw
Clothes shes wearing made out of the best of cloth
She can take em and wash em, put em upside a wall
She can throw em out a window, pick em up a little before the fall
Sometimes I think you got your habits on
She said you shouldnt say that
I said what did I say to piss you off this time baby?
She said umm...
I dont know, my oh my, I dont know
But my babys holding down

My momma told me, my momma sat down and cried
She said youre too young to have as many woman as you got
I looked at my mother dear, didnt even crack a smile
Said if woman dont kill me I dont mind dying
The woman I love, I want to wait for last
The woman I love, I have all class
Thought I warned you baby, a long time ago
Better watch your step or Im going to have to let you go
She said you shouldnt say that

I said baby
You know when you bend over I see every bit of christmas
And when you bend back Im looking right into the new year
She said honey, you know I gave up cigarettes for my new years resolution
But I didnt give up smoking
I said woman, you going to walk a mile for a camel
Or are you going to make like mr chesterfield and satisfy?
She said that all depends on what your packing
Regular or kingsize
Then she pulled out my jim beam, and to her surprise
It was every bit as hard as my canadian club
I said what now you got to say baby?
She said umm...

I dont know
My oh my oh my
I dont know
But my babys holding down

English is the result of Norman men-at-arms attempting to pick up Saxon barmaids and is no more legitimate than any of the other results.

I did not know that Olympic medalists received $ prizes.--- $25K for each gold medal.
No wonder Michael Phelps took the year off after the 2008 Olympics !

How did I come upon this ?
Well, Democrat Barrack Obama and Republican Paul Ryan
BOTH DO NOT want to tax this prize money :smack:

Should We Tax Olympic Prize Money?
But of course, the Republicans DO see a major difference between
income earned via interest and dividends and income from hourly wages. :rolleyes:
.

Isn't there a section for prizes from competitions in the 1040? I know I declared my $500 tapecraft win.

I read about this the other day. The US is one of only a few nations that pay for medals. One, I think it may be the Philippines, pays close to $1million for a gold.

You should get a deduction for being an honest person.

IIRC, Russia paid one champion weight-lifter a $ prize each time he set a new world record.
So, he went about improving on his own records by just a couple of kilos each time.

Sergei Bubka did that in the pole vault too, increasing the WR cm by cm, indoor and out, his records still stand.

They should pay taxes on winnings when they are allowed deductions for training expenses.

Yeh, but that's only worth about $10.00 in real money ;)

crone/crony is some funny/fun!

Why does the speedometer on my Honda Accord go up to 150mph?
