Fun talk:Five

I'll leave out the part where the dismembered palms (and their attendant fingers are sent to South Korea to day care centers to use as training aids for up and coming nail stylists. But you can add this if you so desire. C®acker 20:26, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

phrasing
"Common parlance uses the phrase, "Five finger discount" as a euphemism for shoplifting or retail theft"

I feel this phrase is a bit wordy and redundant. FFD is a euphemism (or slang) for SLing or RT. I edited it thusly, but it was changed back... still preferring the shorter version either:

"Five finger discount" is a euphemism for shoplifting or retail theft

or

"Five finger discount" is slang for shoplifting or retail theft

I don't mind my 'Palm Sunday' ref being chopped, but I gotta say that Rosie & her five is stretching it. Can't that go in Fun:Rose? human be in 20:28, 11 June 2007 (CDT)


 * My revert of your change was an accidental/unwarned edit conflict; I think I got your wording merged back in correctly. If not, it's an accident, not a disagreement.
 * Yup, saw that, thanks. Darn edit messes....


 * As to Rosie...she's got FIVE daughters; how can that not be relevant? But, okay, we could move it. --jtl talk 20:31, 11 June 2007 (CDT)


 * True... perhaps inverting the sentence to move the glorious numeral to a more prominent position? We do have to get this right, the world is wathcing... "The FIVE daughters of Rosie Palm, working with their mom...." eh, it's not gonna be pretty.  I'll bold the five! human be in 20:34, 11 June 2007 (CDT)
 * What about references to "Spending the night with Miss Michigan"? (Hold up your hand, you will see the perfect "Michigan Mitten"). Can we include it? Huh? Can we?DocSock 20:38, 11 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Do we have a file on Michigan, or Miss Michigan, yet? human be in 21:51, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

Fun experiment in 2-D

 * 1) Hold up your hand in front of you, palm facing your face.
 * 2) Close one eye.
 * 3) Bend your wrist so that your fingers appear to shorten.
 * 4) Stare at the center of your palm

After 10- 20 seconds the periphery of your vision will inform you that you now own a baby's hand.

Amazingly I do not drink nor take drugs, save for the occasional Vitamin X anax. C®acker 21:15, 11 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Vitamin X? Where I come from, MDMA is considered a drug, a is Vitamin K. human be in 21:55, 11 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Vitamin K is essential to the coagulation pathway, which is irreducibly complex.--PalMD-yada yada 22:09, 11 June 2007 (CDT)
 * That's the damn fanciest edumacation-fangled gussied-up name I ever heard for the K-hole. human be in 23:23, 11 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I should tell you that the real name of Vit K is phylloquinone.--PalMD-yada yada 23:31, 11 June 2007 (CDT)
