Bungee Jumper

I comprehended it just fine. Better than you. Probably because I actually read it. And some of the papers it referenced. That's the difference between being educated and being...well, you.

"Type 5" feathers? Now you're just embarrassing yourself.

Are you stalking me or something? And stop ruining TC's welcome back thread. Go polish your little toy car or something...

Any Marines want to tell these two what difficult training is really like?

There's no law against wearing an utterly tasteless costume for Halloween. And there shouldn't be one for getting your ass kicked for it. The kid can quote "freedom of expression" all he wants...but that goes hand-in-hand with being responsible for your expressions, as well. This overly-PC paranoia does go overboard sometimes, though. There's books I read in high school that nowadays would require a mandatory 1-week suspension in more than a few school systems, not because of the content of the books but because the covers had a swastika on them.

"Quips." Not "quirks". "Quips". Nitwit.

You and Lana aren't going to start fighting over me now, are you? Because if you are, let me get my camera...

For our sake, get a second job.

"My Advanced Infantry Training was tougher than yours, you pansy!" Jesus...

Mechanic and teacher? But you're working on your PhD...your parents aren't smart enough for you to be that smart. Maybe you're adopted? Hell, maybe you're not East German. That might explain it, too...

You think Herr Scheisskopf even knows what the carbon cycle is? Why are you even bothering at this point?

Or that he was too dumb to realize he was talking about himself...which I'm actually more inclined to believe.

And it's the gift that keeps on giving, as long as Kerry keeps responding to criticism with "I'm not apologizing, !@#$ you !@#$s!" Way to pour gasoline on that fire, John-boy. Even the Democrats are united in saying "John, we might actually win the House, and you're !@#$ing it up! Shut the !@#$ up already!"

Got that, Ramius? The carbon cycle is too complex for you, but genetics is simple. And either one can be explained with statistically invalid bull sh-- that you just don't understand because your parents are mechanics.

Actually, it means a lot because: 1) Reporters grow up to become editors, and 2) More importantly, when there's such a uniformity of belief through a given group (about 80%, give or take, based on voting records), it introduces an unintentional bias. You look around you, see everyone thinking the same thing you do, and think "So this must be the way the world is." It's unconscious and subtle, but it's very easy to see if you know it's there. And the cumulative effect heavily effects how stories are reported.

Don't forget, they get +3 if their elves...

Chevy, John Mellencamp To Invade Iran "We’re going to roll into Tehran with our fleet of rugged Chevy Silverados and show those towel heads what American folks can do when we pull together. Then we’re gonna get together around a campfire with our cowboy hats on, eat some steak, and listen to John sing that song over and over again, which should drive the remainder of the Iranians to suicide, if they have any taste in music.”

What about interracial parents? Are they better or worse than homosexual ones?

...although there is a chronological correlation between increased use of carbon fuel and increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. And as we all know from HA's teachings, correlation = causation, which is why we can cross-breed doctors to make little itty bitty baby doctors. So obviously we're wrong...just because...

Apathy.

Workin' on it, my dumpy little marshmallow friend. Workin' on it...

I don't hate America. I hate Americans. Big difference...

Homer Simpson has theories that can blow your mind...

Only because HA has an unhealthy interest in the length of my...uh, bungee cord.

No, I presume not to lecture you on it, on the principle that lecturing a Nazi is a futile proposition anyway.
