Kungfullama: I especially like that he's not aged at all.

Brockgurl86: Shakira was delivered by the stork...
shakira2: I was actually created in a petri dish and then transferred to an aquarium and grew there until I was ready for life in the outside world.
wilde.: I can't believe I have the urge to type, "I always knew there was something fishy about Shakira." but I can't stop myself.

Joke of the Week


Opportunity Costs


A man had a terrible accident and his private parts were injured. The doctor reassured him that modern medicine made it possible for his privates to be rebuilt, but insurance didn't cover the expense. It was considered cosmetic.

He had three choices: small for $3,500, medium for $6,500, and large for $14,000. The man was sure he'd want a medium or large.

The doctor suggested that he discuss it with his wife privately before a final decision was made. The doctor left the room and while he was gone the man called his wife and told her their options.

The doctor returned and found the man looking very sad. "Did you make a decision?" the doctor asked.

"Yes," said the man. "My wife would like to remodel the kitchen."

JoeInterview's Member Feature


This week's interview features McGoodness. This interview was conducted by travbowman.

JoeInterview: First off, how did you find YT?

McGoodness: So I was in college and some guy in my Computer Science class told me about Youthink.com. I created an account right away but for the first three months or so, I was hooked on the Joke and Trivia sections. So I never really ventured into the forums until later. Mostly Music of course.

JI: Does this former classmate still come to the site at all?

McG: I don't even know if he had a screename. I lost touch with him after that semester.

JI: Tell YT about your recent trip to San Francisco.

McG: Alright alright alright! So every Easter Sunday in SF is the BYOBW (Bring Your Own Big Wheel) Race. So my roommates and I packed up the vehicle with some Big Wheels and drove from Phoenix. It took 14 exciting hours! I work for Marriott so I got us a smoking deal near Union Square. We were there for three days so we toured the city most of the weekend. We took the cable car to Fisherman's Wharf and walked Pier 39, then had lunch and cupcakes at Ghiradelli Square. Then we walked down Lombard Street and took the cable car back to our hotel.

Next day we did Haight-Ashbury which was nice. Although there were a lot of homeless kids around there and also Golden Gate Park. Then Sunday was race day! Here's a youtube clip: at about 2:22 you can see me. I'm wearing an Uncle Sam hat! I'm definitely going back next Easter.

JI: What do you do for Marriott?

McG: I'm a bellman at a resort in Phoenix. So if you ever need assistance with your luggage, you can ring my bellllllllll. Ring my bell.

JI: What would you say is the biggest reason you keep coming back to YT?

McG: You mean besides your penis? The People! Some are crazy, some are zany, Paul McCartney says there are Too Many! Some are Danny, some are Ainge. The Doors think some are Strange!

Some are straight, some are gay. Sly loves the ones that are Everyday! Some are wierd, yet misunderstood. YES has seen the ones that are good.

Some people are decent, some are crappy. REM enjoys the ones that are shiny and happy!

JI: So many classic rock references...when did you develop your love for the genre?

McG: When I was younger, so much younger than today... My parents would always have music playing. I especially liked being in the car because every time a song would come on the radio my parents would ask my brother and I, "Who's this?" Of course, the radio only played so many songs, so after a while I would practically know any song that was playing.

Eventually I ventured into my parents record collection and expanded from there. At any given time you can find me enjoying anything from Mississippi John Hurt to Katy Perry.

JI: Outside of Katy Perry, what would most YTers be surprised to learn is in your playlist?

McG: Inside of Katy Perry. Hanson. Wham. Back to the Future theme song. Great scott! In fact I have quite a few theme songs. Indiana Jones, Superman, $100,000 Pyramid. They're all so damn catchy!

JI: What's the best thing about living in Arizona?

McG: The weather. Sunny 300 days a year. No hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes oh my! Of course during the summer months it can get up to 120. But overall, Phoenix isn't bad. You're two hours from snowboarding, five hours from Vegas and six hours from the ocean.

JI: What sucks most about being where you are?

McG: Phoenix is a place for two people. Self-centered idiots who can't drive and retirees who can't drive. There's also a lack of art and culture here. If I were to move, it would be to Portland, Oregon or San Francisco. Phoenix just doesn't compare to those two cities.

JI: Where do you see yourself in ten years?

McG: Near family and friends and just happy to be alive.

JI: Whose sense of humour always makes you laugh each time you read/hear/watch it?

McG: This is a good question. I guess not so much specific people but quoting movie lines, or Seinfeld stuff always makes me laugh. I enjoy watching Family Guy, so Seth MacFarlane would be up there.

JI: What movie is underrated as far as quotability?

McG: Liar Liar. Many people I know give me blank stares when I'm kicking my own ass.

JI: When at the bar, what's your drink of choice?

McG: Beer: Sierra Nevada. Non-Beer: Jack and Coke. If it;s really hot then I'll go with a ZIMA!!!!!

JI: What's the craziest thing you've done while drunk?

McG: From my recent memory:

I went down to Tucson for the ASU/UA football game last year. The night before the game my friends and I went to bar near campus. After mulitple shots of Jager, I get the wise idea of lying down on the 50-yard line at the stadium. So here I go running down campus, yelling "U of A!" at the top of my lungs. I jog for about 1/2 mile and get to the stadium gates. Hopping over, I make my way on the field dashing towards mid-field. I get to the 40 and a gentleman with the brightest flashlight ever stops me. Campus police escorts me off the field and questions me about my motives. I told them I was kicking my ass, do ya mind?! They stare blankly at me and decide not to arrest me. They call me a cab and sat in the back smiling.

JI: For us non AZ residents...why is U of A inherently superior to all things ASU?

McG: Every year, Playboy has a list of top party schools in the country. UofA is never on the list because Pros are not allowed on a list full of amateurs.

Someone's at my door. Hold on one second, Joe.......Sorry about that, I had to pay some ASU grad for the pizza I ordered.

JI: If you could meet any three YTers anywhere you wanted, where would it be and who would be there?

McG: Travbowman, ZepFan and I would fly to Europe to hang with Matthias, drink some beer, listen to his records, get high and talk about life.

JI: What was the high school version of McGoodness like?

McG: lol, very boring. I was socially awkward so I never got involved in any clubs or sports. My grades were good, my 65 Mustang was bad-ass, but overall just an average nice, quiet kid who enjoyed being in the background.

Senior year, I did join Key Club and unsuccessfully tried out for the golf team.

JI: What happened to the 65 Stang?

McG: I sold it when I graduated high school and the used the money for college expenses. I miss it everyday.

JI: What would be your dream job?

McG: Have you heard of the job that lets you take care of an island somewhere in the Great Barrier Reef? That would be awesome.

But only slightly less awesome would be the guy who has to put the grains of salt in the holes of the salt shaker.

JI: Any final words of wisdom to share with your fellow YTers?

McG: Listen to Kajagoogoo!
