But the environmental impact...just the disruption of road runner and gila monster migration patterns alone would lead to a drastic increase in global warming. Yes, yes, I know...the link between gila monsters and global warming is supposedly unproven. In fact, it is cold, hard fact that's been buried by the propaganda of the oil conglomerates. I read all about it in Al Gore's new book, An Inconvenient Lizard.

Did you know Ed's personal record for polishing the cucumber is seven times in a row? I'm sorry...this IS "Let's all share completely inappropriate and unnecessary information day", isn't it?

Link?

The difference being: guys have died from the heat at training camp before, so there's a certain visibility of camp activities in the heat that encourage coaches to curtail said activities if there's a risk of heat-related injuries. But no one's died from the heat in a game yet, so who cares? The moment someone DOES die of heat exhaustion in a game, though...then we'll see a whole new slew of regulations, including but not limited to letting the officials delay the start of an early, outdoor game if it's too hot...

Well, yeah...if they're from the friggin' Islanders.

You're each half-right. Interview with a black reporter from the Washintgon Post (not "private" - what the hell is a "private interview", anyway? ) Jackson thought that he could get away with referring to NYC as "Hymietown" in the interview because a "fellow brother" would never "sell him out". As it turned out, the reporter had more integrity than loyalty to skin color, and published the quote. Jackson's "The Jews are conspiring against me" actually came after the article was published, and after he denied ever making the remarks. The reporter who printed them received death threats from the Nation of Islam for being disloyal to his race.

There's little in any warfare that's "fair". Personally...I think fighting a war "fairly" is inhumane and criminal. As I've said numerous times...fight a war to end it quickly, not to be "fair".

But chicot's not American...so he doesn't remember when Jesse Jackson called NYC "Hymietown" during his first presidential run.

No, they'd name him the next Jesse Jackson.

Where's the "More polls" option?

Particularly if they're on the goal line. Take him out, and pass it to the fullback.

Oh. You're providing a link. What a...surprise...

There is that, too. The ease with which you got off as a first-time poster here is kind of complimentary, actually. Plus...well, frankly, I just didn't have anything to say in response.

Someone just tell me if I'm a racist for reading Brer Rabbit to my niece, please...

"Tar baby" is racist? I thought "tar baby" was a literary metaphor used in the children's story "Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby", meaning a sticky situation.

Honda Fit jokes.

There is one already. It's called youtube.com.

Aspire to be a pseudo-intellectual? What would an aspiring pseudo-intellectual be? A faux pseudo-intellectual?

I don't give respect to condescending intellectuals. Mostly because us condescending intellectuals don't get along too well.

I am the Egg Drop King. Wish I had another talent...but hey, you go with what you have: I am the Egg Drop King.

Hmmm....2008, Jeb Bush vs. an Egg McMuffin. I'm not sure...but I've got to tell you, the Egg McMuffin's looking like the better candidate in that contest...

CJPearl2 is unhappy and wants a trade from TBD, would he be a good fit for a Patriots message board? Should they sign him?

Pretty broad definition. It's hard to think of a site that couldn't be shoehorned into it. Yahoo, certainly. Probably a third of the news sites I'm registered at. This board...

Oooh, three o'clock. So'm I. Now where'd I put that video camera...

And when your kid dies in Iraq, no one's going to B word if you buy a Ferarri with the insurance money. She spent it as she saw fit.
