  1. "Surcharge".
  2. Yeah. He also owns a friggin' Pinto.
  3. Yeah, screw law enforcement. With a record like that, you're presidential material...
  4. You talking to me?
  5. Oh, that explains it. It's not a criminal record, it's just college prerequisites...
  6. How many mailboxes did he bash?
  7. It's not that big a risk. I mean, yes, it happens...but the last guy carved hand- and toe-holds, so getting out's a lot easier now...
  8. You have a Coy Wire jersey? Hell, I'm still surprised Coy Wire has a Coy Wire jersey...
  9. I broke it off, though. Damn thing kept shouting out the wrong name...
  10. Why? You going to beat up my mailbox too? I mean, you sound tough and all...but still, my money's on the !@#$ing mailbox.
  11. "Told"? You must be the only man in America that hasn't seen Paris' inner thigh. Hell, even Ed's seen it...
  12. Yeah...but free speech, private property, and all that. He's entitled. It's just that, as I've always said, the right to be heard does not automatically convey the right to be taken seriously.
  13. No, I didn't. That was covered in "...with the aim of applying effective pressure..." Originally, I'd typed "effective psychological pressure", basically meaning "shock value"...but I decided that was a needlessly restrictive definition. And not all terrorism includes "shock". Shock maximizes psychological pressure...but psychological pressure can exist in the absence of shock. The insurgent campaign in Iraq, for example...who can possibly claim to be shocked by an IED when there's fifty being detonated every day? But even so, it applies a great amount of psychological pressure to US and US-backed forces via the long-term consistency of the IED campaign.
  14. Like I said, he was elected. I had no idea he was a Republican, though.
  15. Okay, so we're half-done. Now we just need the definition...
  16. You beat up 450 mailboxes? Wow. Talk to me when you get into a knife fight, little boy.
  17. Between the two of us, I'm pretty sure we can refine that definition until we reach a point where you think it's right and I think you're a !@#$ing idiot. We're just THAT good together...
  18. That just means you have a seriously screwed up sense of perspective. And your wife's so ugly, she looked out the window and got arrested for mooning...
  19. He was elected. Which is highly unusual. Most South American goofball national leaders are placed their as American puppets...
  20. Nope. First off, it doesn't cover the USS Cole (which was not crewed by "random civilians"). Second, it doesn't necessarily require violence (e.g. the threat of violence; leaving a bomb threat on an airliner with intent to disrupt operations is a form of terrorism.) Thirdly, the aim isn't the physical act of killing civilians, it's the psychological effect that terrorism aims for (it just so happens that the most effective way to mess with someone's psychology is to kill a bunch of people, but killing isn't required). Fourth, "fear and despair" is overly narrow...hell, my points six through eight cover deficiencies in that last clause as well, so let me just restate it: "...with the aim of applying effective pressure to a defined group or society by any means deemed practical." Killing is just the practical means to that end. Terrorist groups don't just kill for ***** and grins; their behavior is highly goal-directed, something that your definition doesn't recognize.
  21. I think, legally, it's considered child molestation to name your kid "Laveranues" anyway...
  22. Yep. Exactly. Just like is says in paragraph 2, subsection D(3) of the First Amendment, otherwise known as the "xenophobia exclusion" or the "please don't pick on us, we're too insecure to handle it" exception to free speech. Jesus Christ. Some piss-ant bantamweight boxer leading a shithole third-world South American country tells the UN he doesn't like George Bush. Who gives a flying !@#$?
  23. I know. It's still pretty funny.
  24. "It smells like sulfur up here." !@#$ing classic. His actual speech, though, wasn't bad. Though it's probably the first time anyone called Bush a "neoliberal".
  25. Little known fact: the Sabres were actually considering that overhead shot of the field for their new logo. Instead they picked the Fighting Banana Slug. Personally, I think they made the wrong choice...
