Jon in Pasadena

Bills games start at 10:00am out here. Last Sunday I started drinking about 09:30. It wasn't early enough.

Hey! Maybe we went to the same school! Loved playing FS and smacking the crap out of people on the iced over parking lot... Good times...

Oh, you know. At some point after they banned dodgeball because you might get hit by a rubber ball ..but before they ban walking because you might fall down and hit your head.

I grabbed the HTML source, hacked the javascript alert to say "YEP! Omg UR teh kewlest d00d EV3R!!" and brought it up in my browser. Runs just fine, but for some strange reason I don't feel so cool all of a sudden...

That was actually pretty funny. Probably only 'cause I was googleearthing around earlier today and saw a few things that might have been MW but were probably just small aircraft carriers... Btw, you're off by a month in Bart's inner-retard quotation.

More like split end.

There's some "baby mommas" out there who'd beg to differ!

C'mon AD admit it - you start these monstrosities on purpose, right?

I have a gut feeling you're not the go-to guy to save a party if it's dying...

Anyone who'd get offended by that photo could get rich by selling off the timber rights to all the lumber they must have stuck up their *ss.

Wimps. I've already switched to the hard stuff (crap day going downhill fast)

Fixed.

Yeah, well Schroedinger can both see and not see a Bills game simultaneously. Until the inevitable collapse occurs...

Grand Island was on the table at one point. Kinda lacking in ancient Jewish temple stuff, tho'

Same here. At first I tried the "tough guy" method on my son (also 3 years old) and shut him up in the bedroom at a reasonably early hour. Every evening, after much wailing ensued, he'd quiet down. Upon checking him, I found he was NOT sleeping; rather he was reading his dinosaur books. For hours. He wasn't getting to sleep any earlier, and he was missing out on family time, and most important, it was getting to where he knew more dinosaur names than me, which is completely unacceptable. So now we all turn in around 10:00 Oh yeah, as for the topic: I could give 2 ***** if somebody cusses in a documentary about war. Edit: hey whatever happened to the stevestojan filter? Did I miss the memo?

Thanks for reminding me I need to stop procrastinating my annual visit to see the doc and experience the joy of how "the other half" lives, in all it's latex-filled glory.

Good grief. DUDE, I worked for the Army on C³I, including on-site support at some of the first Cascade Peak exercises. Believe me, I know very well the advantages well-spent technological research can confer. I also know some of the guys who were consulting on SDI. You are aware, of course, that the program did run for nearly 10 years, got funded to the tune of $44B +, and resulted in plenty of useful technology, including the core of our GMD systems (PAC-3). I wasn't disputing any of that. But as for the idea that throwing more $$ at X-ray lasers in the '80's would have resulted in us having an impregnable space-based shield today to protect us from the mighty NK menace -- well, let's just say I'm more confident that a fleet of nuclear-powered monkeys will fly out of my butt and save us in that eventuality.

Eye never due that!

Government by syringes?

If it ain't spherical, I ain't interested. Next!

It takes a while to row across the Pacific. (GP can't use motorboats anymore, because those can leak fuel & oil into the water.)

Oh you know. If it wasn't for all those pinko anti-"Ronnie Ray-gun" haters in the 80's, we could have fully funded star wars. And now we'd be sitting pretty here in 2006 with Constitution-class heavy cruisers armed with photon torpedos that could take out those precision-guided taepodong2's before they crash into the ocean and scare the fish.

The real fun begins when you actually do the research to see who sits on the boards of what corporations, and you discover that its the same fat cats who are sitting on the boards of multiple corporations, foundations, etc. And they all vote each other these outlandish guaranteed pensions & golden parachute packages. (You know, kind of like Congress does.) And the poor working schmucks who own 100 shares or whatever, and receive the little proxy vote notices every couple of years, generally have no clue who these people are, so they usually just do the default thing which is to go with the "recommendation of the directors". Whee!

Word.
