Well, she is French. They’re............different.

What, not shaving their legs?

Number #47 on the list.
Actually, for a while I had a French Girlfriend. We got along great even though she spoke no English and I spoke no French.
She did not shave her legs, to my knowledge.
Pretty sure it was fourth grade.

Hundred percent true story

@ssmith1226 It's puzzling. She's so good at playing, yet something's missing (besides her shoes). She has to love what she does, or she wouldn't do it and do it this well, and yet there seems to be a lack of enthusiasm, and it comes across in her performances.

Well, she is French. They’re............different.

LOVED IT. What a production! I know how much must have gone into that, and I appreciate the effort! Enjoyed every bit of it.

According to legend, British conductor Sir Thomas Beecham once saw a distinguished-looking woman in a hotel foyer. Believing he knew her but unable to remember her name, he paused to talk with her. As the two chatted, he vaguely recollected that she had a brother. Hoping for a clue, he asked how her brother was doing and whether he was still working at the same job. “Oh, he’s very well,” she said, “And still king.”

@kehaulani said in Famous Signature Songs:

Ray Anthony was basically a musical prostitute. He did a ton of songs but I'm not sure any stuck out.

By definition, almost any pro player Is to some degree a prostitute, but what specifically do you mean?

Another one from the Poconos in Pennsylvania.
I was able to use a great reference photo by a friend from my home town who lives bear there now.

I am no expert on US Geography, though I have some idea which states are where. And I'm no genius on routing or shipping.
Still, shouldn’t the post office have some kind of clue that this may not be the shortest distance between Wisconsin and NJ?

We have all heard the scientific fact that 90% of your body's heat is lost through the top of your head. At least that’s what I thought I heard.
Well, I’m here to tell you, when I went outside to try it in this morning’s 13° air with a pair of gym shorts and a good warm hat, I did not feel 90% warm. I would say I didn’t even feel 10% warm. Just so you know:
Fair warning. Do not attempt.

My head is so big I have to wear a jock strap and condom to stay warm!

Thank you.

I will now schedule therapy to help me remove that image from my subconscious mind. It may take a while......

What did zero say to eight?

Nice Belt!
Good one. But what’s a modal?

Ole decided to buy a book for his plane flight to Minnesota, so to save money he decided to go to a used book store.
He was so thrilled to find a mint condition leather bound looking book with gold piping beauty titled “ How to Hug “- for only a dollar!
Wow, he thought, I better pay for this before they figure out it was labeled wrong! He figured he could always use some tips on how to hug. Who wouldn’t?
He brought it on the flight and started to read it.
The person sitting next to him saw it and said, “hey, man, how come you're reading the 8th volume of the encyclopedia?”

@ssmith1226 said in Trumpet Board Remote Performance:

The following are two multitrack recordings that I put together encompassing about 10 trumpet parts and four MIDI Parts (Strings, Harp, Piano, and Bass Guitar). I played the Tuba part on trumpet and lowered it one octave on Garage Band and then lowered that track another octave. All three tracks can be heard.
The first piece is Pachelbel’s Canon. The second piece I call “Memories of Palchelbel”. It consists of Palchelbel’s Canon incorporating Maroon 5’s “Memories”. I previously posted a version of “Memories” performed by a children’s choir.
On January 20, I completed Pachelbel’s Canon and coincidently celebrated five year anniversary of my comeback.

Way to go! Fantastic, Steve. That was a lot of work, but fun, wasn’t it?
Very nice! Loved it.

I think the first two semesters of pharmacist school are reading illegible handwriting 101-102.

I'm not sure if I should say hello, call the police, or bring her back to the Louvre.

We geniuses should know better than to waste our time trying to stare at these visual puzzles and finally figure out there are differences all over the place!

I'm still on this thread looking for these puzzles!

Another genius thus occupied.

@bigdub

Sorry! Maybe this will put the humor back into it:
Why does a chicken coop have two doors?

Because if it had four doors, it would be a chicken sedan!

2 is diffrrent.

Other than every chicken “is different”, number three has been colored in, but number 2 has three toes on its right foot, while the others do not.
I stand with number 2 is different ( not “diffrrent”)

Well, now that just takes the humor right out of the equation now, doesn’t it?
Haha. Also, number 7 has its eyeball looking up, and 3, besides me coloring it in has fewer tail feather divisions.
I think the genius is to realize you don’t want to waste your time studying the minutiae.
I think JJericho is also right. They are all different.

Ohhhh- sooooo close, but no corn dog for you
