I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Just got here in time!
....to be FIRST, bitches!
Do I see three squirrels?
Quit braggin Squirrel man.
Looks morelike a Go-fher to moi.
Not first, but certainly best.

I apologize for my orgy of gloating.
So I just sat there for the longest time. Until finally, I says, "Jesus. That's one hell of an Administration. What do you call it?"
And George W. Bush says, "The Aristocrats!"
I don't get it,
WalterNeff, where is your gravatar?
Since I was certainly not first, I'm going to go down to the last thread and finish reading.
I don't have the link, only the .wm file but the Aristocrats joke is done by Cartman. Dirtiest joke in history. No question.
I resent that squirrel parading his nuts around in public.
Hey mer, at least you beat me.
I'm I there?
I'm there
You are all invited to visit me in NZ, but you'll have to book ahead and arrive just a few at a time.
And George W. Bush says, "The Aristocrats!"
I don't get it
Oh come on, you had to laugh at what Condi did with Babs Bush's pearls and Barney the dog.
And in the Rose Garden, to boot!!

Bob Saget's version of "The Aristocrats" is forty minutes long - they had to cut it way down for the movie. Bob Saget is fucking funny. Bob Saget is fucking sick. Bob Saget needs to be confined to the same facility that held Hannibal Lecter.

WalterNeff...
well met friend!
i heard the other day that Sidney's got no more than two years of drinking water left in the city and environs...
have you heard anything about that? I think Helen Caldicott was the source of the story...
.
I have a hunch the strong showing by Hackett on Tuesday coinciding with the awful deaths of all these Ohio Marines is going to have a big impact; if the Harpers stories on election irregularities gain any traction they could play a role as well in creating a lot of disgust with republican leadership.
Any Ohioans out there have anecdotes on sentiment there right now?

Yes, you are there now. And NZ? When?

Bob Saget is fucking funny. Bob Saget is fucking sick. Bob Saget needs to be confined to the same facility that held Hannibal Lecter.
He deserves that much for sure, for either
A. "Full House", or
B. the way he'd always laugh at his lame scripted material on "America's Funniest Videos".
Both are worthy of incarceration.
Helen Caldicott is a hero.
Same old stuff here in the loonfest, America Haters heaven.

Walter Neff,
Agreed. I love me some Helen Caldicott. She gets it.

So good it needed to be repeated.
One of you history people, isn't true that invading armies never wanted to be captured by the wimmin of the village. Since they weren't army, and did understand the rules of war, and were pissed, I remember hearing they were quite cruel, especially to the Germans.

Well, we've got some beers chillin' in the fridge for later - a mix of Stella from Louvain, Belgium, and good ol' Brooklyn Lager from hereabouts.

Daughter no 1 has decreed that we can't leave for dinner until 6:00 p.m., at which time I will be enjoying some very nice red wine.

I was looking at the Iraq casualty numbers on that icasualties site. Running a trendline from Aug 03 through Jul 05, per day fatalities have gone up about 1/day over the last 2 years. In other words, even excluding the month of August so far, we're averaging more dead now than we were at "mission accomplished." And lest any trolls think I'm happy about that, or that I want to see America fail-- you're the ones supporting this war, and we ARE failing. You're the ones who think our national treasure should be squandered for a pack of lies, that ineptitude is leadership, that questioning this obscenity is not patriotic. And WE'RE the moonbats?!
Aussie Merlot is crap - sorry. Shiraz, baby - Shiraz.

SteveNS,
I don't know how they do it, but they are the best burgers I've ever tasted. They are better than a regular burger by a factor of about a hundred. They are almost worth the flight out to California.
Moonbootica - try him on some New Zealand wines. More subtle and yet more characterful - up there with the best of the French, in some cases, or better.
I thought as liberals we were supposed to be drinking the blood of small cute Christian embryo-children from the hollowed-out skulls of oppressed free-marketers.
That's just on weekdays. This is Saturday.

Chilean Wines are still the best in my humble opinion
NZ wines remind me of Oregon wines.

kind of like Australians.
Me, I love a nice hearty shiraz or cab sav from Down Under.
Then again, I'm biased.
Gravatar so what's everybody drinkin' now? just curious..........
just finished the last of the minute maid limeade. and contemplating fixing myself my second doppio espresso of the day. i've got a basement full of noxious dust to clean out and the caffeine helps with the allergies.
it does make me a little crazy though. good thing i resisted the temptation to speedball with a couple of benadryls.
TheaLogie ~ my dad says your right but NZ wine is more expesive compared to Chilean.
Australian wines? All I know about them comes from Monty Python:
Quite the reverse is true of Château Chunder, which is an appellation contrôlée, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation; a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends.
Real emetic fans will also go for a Hobart Muddy, and a prize winning Cuivre Reserve Château Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga, which has a bouquet like an aborigine's armpit.

what i meant to say is Chilean wines are the best value
Performated beef that's steamed?
Perforated beef that's steamed - with onions.
Makes a difference. The onion oils or whatever permeate the beef and make it all the much better.
Plus the lil' bastards are cheap, which is important if you're, say, a typical cash-strapped college student.

Those things are an abomination to the burgerworld.
Well, off to run some errands. I'll be back in time for Sci-Fi TORNADO!!!
Speaking of chunder, here's an anecdote: When I was a young T&F athlete in NZ, they had a "contest" called The Chunder Mile. It was a one mile race on a 400m track. After every lap you had to stop, eat a meat pie, and an 8 oz beer. A friend of mine, Olympic 1500m medalist and NYC Marathon champion, Rod Dixon, did it in under five minutes - and didn't spew chunks.
pls. some one explain to me how to clear the memeory cache, I do a copy(ctrl c) then a post(ctrl v) but the item I copied doesn't erase it keeps posting the old copied item.

Was just about to tell the tale of two high school friends of mine who, between them, consumed 50 murder burgers, 10 of White Castle's "surf & turf", then drove to get milkshakes from Carvel, and then cheesecake at a friend's dad's diner.
One of them didn't make it through the cheesecake before exploding.

Dependable Renegade is a daily thing for me these days.
Nice work.
I can't believe Bush spoke about the glowing economy. I'd like him to visit me right here in Grand Rapids and tell me how great it is to my face.
I'd then ask if I could take him on a tour of all of the boarded up factories in the town. We're talking big factories ~ 2,000 - 5,000 + employees at one time. It's so sad to see tall blades of grass growing between the cracks in vacant parking lots.

in-n-out burger is great. Quality beef, they only sell hamburger/cheeseburger or a double of either, with either raw or cooked onions if you wish, fries, sodas, and milkshakes. The well compensated employees actual peel the potatoes that they then turn into french fries.

Dear Hectate.
Sorry you on the East Coast are fierce craving for some InnOut . I've had that craving on the other side quite frequently, even though I live in Boston. (pun intended)
I am drinking swill vodka tonic because good limes are only about $0.13 so I need a good excuse to use them up quickly.

At least you made him get a good hat. With that schedule tho it'd seem he'd be looking like he's aiming for Phoenix around Wednesday/Thursday, eh? Doing the loop. Hope he likes Acoma - a great pleasure that.
I'll put some fresh sheets on the guest bed. I just hope he and Arthur get along...

For those of you who don't know what we're talking about, rent Without Limits with Billy Crudup as Pre. Or Animal House - the scene where they hit Neidermeir with the golfball? You'll see Hayward Field where Pre ran.

Moonbootica, Felis catus - I strongly suggest you save out of your grant for it. Your Pop will love you dearly and you will learn what sharing is.
And for anybody who cares, there is an In'n'Out store right across the street from where I'm trying to work - and I know how to ship Fedex overnight....
It's not a Lot-a-burger, but it's pretty good.
Quality beef, they only sell hamburger/cheeseburger or a double of either, with either raw or cooked onions if you wish, fries, sodas, and milkshakes. The well compensated employees actual peel the potatoes that they then turn into french fries.

Also, lipliner? No one's friend. Just sayin'
Ummmm...I'm guilty of lip liner that matches my lipstick. I have small lips. It really does work for me.
But...I'm out of lipstick and have been going au natural pretty much all the time lately.
For those of you who don't know what we're talking about, rent Without Limits with Billy Crudup as Pre.
I would watch that movie before road races. The way he could just turn it up a notch, lap by lap, was astounding.

so I have to be ever so careful cause its his money.
and I am not fiscially consevrative i love to shop and especially by DVDs its a serious flaw.
Bad Art,
Damn! Limes are like .30/each out here.
Atrios, yes their milkshakes aren't bad, either. I always get cooked and raw onions. There's an In-n-Out at the foot of the San Gabriels, east of Pasadena, but west of Duarte, where I once at three burgers at once.
Buckeye, Dealer of Rare Coins:
It's at least 80° here today with no breeze and no clouds.
Why Nelson? Well, it's nickname is Sunny Nelson - it gets more sunshine than any other NZ town and I have a sister who lives there (another is a Barrister in Wellington). In addition, I have friends there (though I went to university in Dunedin - remember all those snowy mountains in Lord of the Rings? That's Dunedin country).

But when he comes back to a bottle of Johnny Blue - brilliant....
The way he could just turn it up a notch, lap by lap, was astounding.
I prefer to run each lap slower than the last, purely for aesthetic purposes.
thanks, vic.
not really much danger actually - i've still got some organic fruit left in the crisper.

there is one culinary enterprise for which i shall always be grateful to Texas: Taco Cabana...
decent food, cheaply priced, with enough chile condiments--pico de gallo, green chile, jalapenos, slasa fuego, etc--so that you can make it taste any way you like...

Does Schmidt have lipstick on her tooth or is that a brown tooth? There's an old saying that you have the face at age 40 that you deserve. I guess the deterioration just continued apace from age 40 to the state she's in now.

i made the mistake of trying a cheap (<$20) single malt with a name that sounded like macallens, but wasn't. tasted passable while sipping, but nasty aftertaste. I'll give Jura a try.
i have a rule of thumb for trying scotch blind: if its name has 'glen' in it, and it is more than 12 yo and $45, it's usually tasty.

Gotta get the Pinot from the Willamette Valley.
Burgers, I find, are usually at their best when purchased from a steak house, although local places can be found that are beyond reason.
Chicken fried steak and barbecue MUST come from mom&pop venues. And I think because the original inspiration was German, the best CFS I've found is in the Texas Hill Country.
Best BBQ is still in East Texas, where first I tasted it as a wee child. Although I'd crawl on my knees from here to Kreuz Market to get some more of that... (in Lockhart, y'all).

In Houston the only consistently good burger chain is Beck's Prime. Very damn good.
There's lots of good mom-n-pop places but I'm hazy on names.
WGG(not even gonna copy that morse code handle you've got now)--
I think Taco Cabana is San Antonio based. Used to eat there when I was in law school in San Antone. Great cheap food.
Varieties of Tex-Mex is another underappreciated reality. There's San Antonio style, Dallas style (bland as ice water!), Houston style, and Central Texas style. There was a chain in Austin that had three restaurants in town: one north, one central, one south. The menu was the same, but the food was slightly different at each one, and reflected the area of town it was in. Varietals, I swear.

We've stayed at Rancho De Chimayo for Christmas - years ago. The faralitos/luminares (or however you spell it) on Christmas Eve - running for miles and miles throught the hills were amazing.

Ever tried Scoresby's? A Glenlivet-loving, but impecunious, pal of mine bought some of it just for price and kept buying it for taste. It's blended, but pretty decent.

Interesting you should mention Farmers' Markets
Johnny Black is my favorite scitch.
JB is awefully good for a blend, i'll grant you.
Macallen's 25 single malt is my favorite, but without the old corporate expense account i don't get it too often. Glenlivet is my "everyday", the sherry cask cured is exceptional for a mid-priced scotch.
So, the kids go to community college rather than ivey league. it's worth it.
It was so poorly planned (no water at some of the water stations, terrible route with no shade to speak of, and a delayed start), that I almost quit 9 times.
I hate when that happens. I've never run a marathon, but I did run a half-marathon when I was in my late twenties; and I've just looked it up in my journal: 1:27:10.

my mum buys her eggs from a local farm.
my parents when they can try and buy fresh local produce and Fairtrade otherwise they will buy most things from Tesco.
What I find so remarkable is that these days, the body types run the complete gamut from stick figure to roly-poly.
I'm one of the extra-lean types, and I'm getting infuriated hearing from the (many) people who finish in front of me that I should be so much faster, simply by looking at my body type.
You can't look at someone and tell how big their heart is.
Mine is 3 sizes too small, I maintain.

And if you stop running because your knees give out, you become...er...pleasingly plump. Or something.

no, but i will now! keep those tips coming.

Well, all NZ athletes wear black and certainly we all had long hair back then. But, yes, Rod was a tall, dark-haired runner (Walker was the flowing blond mane matinee idol - BTW, Rod tell's me John has Parkinson's disease). For non-track fans: John Walker was the first man to run the mile under 3:50 and won the gold in the 1500m in Montreal.
Regarding runners:
I've had a strange attraction my whole life to runners, though I was never able to run.
There's something about the dedication and the discipline that inspires me.
my dad sez its not about your body shape its about how many miles you train
Well, I crapped out in May after training my little ass off all winter, so I've begun training on a new, 3-days-a-week schedule for my next marathon in October.
I have high hopes for this one!
In high school, our hang-out was the original In'n Out Burgers (Santa Ana, CA). Al, the owner sold it to someone who then franchised it--last I heard Al was still kicking himself. Al also taught me how to make those french fries (soak them in ice water for a while before frying).

Best french fries ever:
Peel a couple of Idaho potatoes.
Slice to 1/4 inch.
Rinse 3 or 4 times with cold water.
Soak in water with ice cubes added.
Heat oil (I use peanut oil, but corn or other oil probably is fine) to 350 degrees.
Drain potatoes and pat dry.
Cook fries for 1 minute. Remove and place in a stainless steel bowl and put in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Reheat oil to 350 degrees.
Cook fries for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with popcorn salt.
Vicki,
By dint of what they do, long-distance runners are a bit bonkers. Neurotic.
And I met the oldest runner in the NYC Marathon - he was 95.
I met Ed Whitlock during the Cabot Trail Relay this spring. That was a big deal for me.
The guy is 75, I believe, and he still runs full marathons in under 3 hours.

WalterNeff,
ya just never know, do ya.
life. just keeps throwing those curve balls.
Al also taught me how to make those french fries (soak them in ice water for a while before frying).
Donna
Mija. all Lot-A-Burger french fries start with A Potato.
Peel the Potato.
Slice the Potato.
Put the Potato into ice water.
Wait for the customer to order French Fries.
Remove the Potato from the ice water. Dry it. Throw it into the INCREDIBLY HOT FAT OF FEAR!
When Potato turns gold, remove Potato from oil. Drain.
Serve to customer, with salt and pepper.
God Bless America.
you could get hit by a bus tomorrow. Live every day to the fullest.
true enough - but maybe that's part of the point. i just never liked running that much, so i don't see it for staying healthy. my bro just loves it.
besides, i have, erm, some physical limitations that make long distance pretty impossible.
My co-author competes nationwide in marathons - he is 73.
what the hell is Ernie Hudson doing in this movie?
Oh man, I just found the best video website ever! Go to GrouchyMedia.com and download Our Heroes, America's Defense, and for you, our Zoomie, Bombshell. Of course, this is only for those of us who love our men and women in uniform. All the rest of you, F*** Off! Zoomie, if you can't get access to the site, email me and I'll email you the files. Total kickass.
every oncet in a while i have a yen for Community Dark Roast (beans) and Crystal hot sauce...
deal -. I have both sitting in my kitchen right now.
My email will call your email.
Mother's has gone touristy, I am sad to report. Felix's is still terrific.
There's something about the dedication and the discipline that inspires me.
Vicki -- 7:05 pm
not to mention their, shall we say, endurance?
Arthur Lydiard taught me that to run a reasonable distance race you should average 1/3 of the race distance per day. So, if your collapse point is 26 miles, you should average 8-9 miles a day - now, that's to run a solid time, not just finish.

Someone cleans coffee grinders?
lb0313 | 08.06.05 - 7:07 pm | #
have to - the mrs likes those flavored coffees, if i don't wash in between everything else i grind tastes like vanilla hazelnut.
Yeah, I picked up on the neurotic end of the spectrum, watertiger!
God, I had one boyfriend who was both an alcoholic and a long distance runner! Would train for the Bay to Breakers in between binges.
I always wondered how the hell he was able to keep it going.
He finally sobered up ~ ended up 12 days in the hospital with the dts and all, and now he's running every day. Consistently. Word has it he looks and feels fabulous. Off of his blood pressure meds and everything.
Evening Batties!
Tornado is on and no one mentions it?
not to mention their, shall we say, endurance?
well, if you want their legs to keep going, sure.
This talk of burgers creates a nostalgia for long-gone roadhouses and small town main street cafes with green screen doors that my dad always knew that would serve up burgers and fries and cokes in bottles. Five-star dining for a 10-year-old.
New highways that bypassed the road houses and zipped those who used to shop downdown to the nearest town with a mall pretty much put an end that experience. And torandoes, as seen now on SciFi, with Bruce Campbell.
As a tribute to a fabulous Italian cook (mother of a former boyfriend), I am making swiss chard and potatoes.
Butter in somewhat involved.
I also barbequed chicken and made an asparagus tart.
Big week ahead...
WGG
I was trying to be subtle (rare for me), but you picked up on it, anyway, you devil, you.

I can hit the curveball - it's the change-up that twists me into the ground.

Yikes!
Get a second grinder.
No flavors allowed.
Nothing like talking about marathon running and hamburgers and french fries on the same threa.
jeezum crow, I can't keep up with you folks.....I asked the question and, okay maybe it's adult hdd, I wandered away for awhile. Came back, and, wow, good thread. so thanks, and we are having a homebrewed american wheat and some pinot noir and soon, some aussie chard, cause it's cold and I'm not. I'm such a lurker.....but not a TRoll.
Arthur's dinnertime.
Be good and be kind. That's exactly all that matters.
I'm not a huge coffee drinker.
I prefer a cuppa Tea myself
but when I was in Tunisia I drank very milky coffee with a few sachets of sugar.
same in Cairo expect it was a dark turkish coffee but again I put sugar in it.
no Coffee is not my drink.
I am making swiss chard and potatoes.... and an asparegus tart
*swoon*

smalfish,
i'm predicting the old lady buys it, as will Will Wheaton, who seems to be making his post ST-NG career on SciFi.
After we set up shop on the underside of the world, I'll establish a blog under my real name. It'll be a diary of thoughts and photographs. I'll include video. In addition, I'll establish some sort of method and procedure to board Atriots who want to visit - I'll conspire with lefty friends on both islands: so, no hotel bills. Would that be a cool thing?
.
Get a second grinder.

agreed - another nice thing about the bullet, you can just pop a new grinder on the motor - no waiting.
the only bad thing about it is the name - "magic bullet" - makes talking fondly about it, um, a little suggestive.
anyway, the little lady has enough good points to make up for her culinary shortcomings, so i don't mind washing up in between.
dirk gently
Anyone who drinks flavored coffee is banished to their own coffee grinder! You are a better person than I.
and to the rest of you lovely people, I am taking my chili and coffee and running away for the evening (well, walking leisurely and in the direction of the local bar). There is a handsome man in a white linen suit and a straw fedora who is going to buy me dinner.
Thanks for a lovely time as usual. Chili's and burgers and coffee and lipstick and the certainty that I will never, ever run a marathon.
(Nice to see you again Vicki - it has been a while)
Walter, you got to run through a creek/small river and have flour thrown on you by upperclassmen? Cool!
Moonbootica, I'd largely agree with you on that one (coffee made from beans from the NY delicatessen Agata and Valentina are my main exception). A cuppa good tea does me well, tho' I don't mind branching into the odd cup of Earl Grey or Lapsang Souchong. Do you take sugar in tea, or just coffee?
i'm predicting the old lady buys it, as will Will Wheaton, who seems to be making his post ST-NG career on SciFi.
I'd be okay with the awful dialog, if they would have left out earthquakes out of the global warming scenario.

Not in the last few hours, but I was wondering about her myself, and Jeffraham.
Even Nixon had the courage to go meet with some war protestors.
Not Bush. They have to keep the protestors 4 miles away from Smirking Murder Monkey.
Soldier's mom protests near Bush's ranch
CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) -- The angry mother of a fallen U.S. soldier staged a protest near President Bush's ranch on Saturday, demanding an accounting from the president of how he has conducted the war in Iraq.
Supported by more than 50 shouting demonstrators, Cindy Sheehan, 48, told reporters, "I want to ask George Bush: Why did my son die?"
Sheehan arrived in Crawford aboard a bus painted red, white and blue and emblazoned with the words, "Impeachment Tour."
Her son, Casey, 24, was killed in Sadr City, Iraq, on April 4, 2004. He was an Army specialist, a Humvee mechanic.
Sheehan, from Vacaville, California, had been attending a Veterans for Peace Convention in Dallas. She vowed she would camp out as close as she could get to the president's ranch until Bush comes out and talks to her.
Local law enforcement officials were keeping Sheehan four to five miles away from the ranch's entrance.
"If they won't cooperate, we won't," Capt. Kenneth Vanek of the McLennan County Sheriff's Department, said of the marchers.
He said the group was stopped because some marchers ignored instructions to walk in the ditch beside the road, not on the road.
Sheehan said she decided to come to Crawford a few days ago after Bush said that fallen U.S. troops had died for a noble cause and that the mission must be completed.
"I don't want him to use my son's name or my family name to justify any more killing," she said.
Sheehan said Bush administration officials "don't have a mission and they don't even ever plan on completing it." She said she fears that the United States plans to keep a U.S. military presence in Iraq indefinitely.
Whatever happened with Jeffraham?
I like Darjeeling myself.
a cup of tea on a cool evening can be very nice, and darjeeling is terrific.
but nothing beats a nice thick mug of espresso-strength coffee in the morning. or a strong turkish blend after dinner.
not to mention, who ever heard of an "irish tea?"
Not in the last few hours, but I was wondering about her myself, and Jeffraham.
He's okay.
Thanks, pie.
One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treadle.

Squirrel man? Oh, I'm sooo in love. Me likey squirrely.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, let's hear it for Cindy Sheehan and the Vets for Peace, currently protesting out in Crawford.
On a side note, I'm currently sittin next to my Republican friend's 5 year old daughter. She saw the pic of Santorum on the right hand column of this blog and asked "What are you doing looking at Frankenstein?" *guffaw*
I missed the fucking ice cream man. Motherfucker.
renato,
"Walk in the ditch". Smells of Selma 1964
Not Bush. They have to keep the protestors 4 miles away from Smirking Murder Monkey.
r u kidding? they make people go inside and stay away from windows when his motorcade goes thru town.
wonder what he's afraid of?
Vicki,
Let me know what you think. I have the same Viking-given thin lips and I've tried lots of "plumpers" but this really works.
OK, the front beds aren't weeding themselves, and the sun's going down soon, so I'll see you batsies later.

who ARE these fucks?

Well the emperoros unclothed, maybe they're afraid of people seeing his 2" weiner, and his basketball sized balls.
Would that be a cool thing?
WAY cool!
Now find me a job!!!

How about pulling on their forelocks and ducking their heads? Or do they just abandon all pretense and make them kowtow until he passes?

Other than horses, cell phones (actually they just piss him off if the ring while he's speaing), reality, and the world, nothing.

Fudgescides, brown cows and ice cream sandwiches in the 50s. For 10 cents even. Highlight of the summer days. Ding-a-ling.

Fudgecide is one of the most unspeakable crimes that humankind has ever perpetrated.
smallfish,
There are several diaries at dkos about the chickenhawk president.
Atrios oughta post the pic of a Scaredy Cat next week for Friday Catblogging and name the damned thing Bush.
But my daughter caught the ice cream man - I am saved!!!!
Yum-Yum-McYum!

I've only read it on one news site.
From Texas.
It was all alleluia, dear leader, except for that troubling first paragraph.

sounds to me that they don't trust the populace, even there in the heart of scrub country...

renato,
"Walk in the ditch". Smells of Selma 1964
that's what I thought when I read that.
back to alchohol ("The cause - and solution - of all man's problems" - Homer Simpson)
someone mentioned chilean wine - very nice, so is romanian.
but we recently tried a new one - "Barefoot".
now it is not terrifically tasty, but not bad. it does however have the strongest kick - wife and i finished a bottle and could barely get upstairs. wierd, it isn't higher alchohol content but it knocked us very pleasently on our asses.
OT, but I was just at the grocery store and I saw a bumpersticker that made me laugh:
DOG IS MY CO-PILOT
goodnight moonbats!
Moonbootica, Felis catus
and good night to you, miss moonbootica.
Moonbootica, sweet dreams.
Oops.
"...Iraq?"
But "I rag' seems to make sense too.
"Walk in the ditch".
Motherfucking god.
They'll do anything to thwart, terrorize and humilate anyone that dares protest against dear leader.
Fuck them all.
This is reeeeeeaally stupid. Please tell me these hicks are gonna die in this movie.
I love my new kitty, Cosmo, so much. But he's a case study. He loves being around people. He loves the computer. What's weird is that he will jump up on the computer desk, stare at the screen, and literally play with the mouse as I type. Is this normal?
He also likes to lick my face. And if I reach out to pet his little face, he will place a paw up to my cheek, as if he is doing the same thing to me.
This do ya?

Walter, that would be beyond cool. Even just recommendations, places to eat, best chocolate (no cadbury, please!) and the stuff that the locals know. And yes, job leads would be great, as well.
I just Googled Rod Dixon, and yes it's the photo I remember, from the 1983 NYC marathon, in the rain, with the 2nd place finisher sprawled behind Rod. And why I remember this I don't remember.
How did someone die during that race in Dunedin?! Tripped and went face first into a rock?
"...Iraq?"
But "I rag' seems to make sense too.
Heh, I thought I just didn't get the joke.

I used to like Fudgsicles when I was a kid.
Haven't had one in years, but I don't think they're bad, either.
When I reread what I said, it should have said, fudgesicles. I think.
Too much to drink.

Bush was presented with the Thomas Jefferson Freedom Award, which is given annually by the council to an individual who has advanced fundamental Jeffersonian principles of free markets, limited government, federalism and individual liberty.
smalfish, this is the bigger problem.
If he actually got an award for this, there's something seriously wrong in Texas.

Well, I think the biggest problem with the asshole has to do with a proper supply of oxygen to the lungs, but that may be considered threatening. SO I did not say that.
I missed half of it.
You've missed nothing. Its been all bad so far. Hopefully when the looser characters start dropping, it might get better.
Don't know if the food and beverage made it this far down the thread, don't have time to read it all. Here in NoCal, we have In N'Out AND many stores full of California wine, to which all wines aspire. Except, of course, the French.
BWAHAHA!
Selah.
Like Pie says, this is the only "news" outlet I have seen this story on, other than this one
Neither one would have any credibility,
i'd have to give the daily texan some credibility on this. it would be a local story, not necessarily picked up by other news outlets. and they are pretty bush friendly, wouldn't see them making it up to give him a black eye.
just sayin.
From the other thread about the warmonger shooting the guy, the wingnuts are "not going to let the left lose another war like they did to the Vietnam war." That will be the emerging theme soon with them. Get ready because the stupid things will turn violent thinking that will make what's obvious to the rest of the world, not true. They'll kill before they accept their stoopid fuckups cost so many American lives and money.
Buckeye:
The Dixon victory was memorable for a few reasons - it was his first marathon. The British runner-up (whose name escapes me) was the favorite and lead until about the final half-mile. Rod was having some discomfort and you could see him, even on television, trigger pressure points on his legs to relieve the nerve pain as he reeled the leader in; sort of like acupuncture on the run: very cool. I was screaming at my tv. He was the finest tuned athlete I knew. His victory was in record time.
The guy who got killed was during a Run the year before I did it. I think he fell and hit his head on a rock after some of his mates threw him in. My memory is a little cloudy about the details - but I do remember that it threatened the future of The Run. The Leith runs right trough the middle of campus. I'm not sure they still do it.
.
Hey mer, I like Irag better, too.
Didn't the Crawford paper endorse Kerry?
I'm watching Food Channel, but thinking about what I read at the Hiroshima site.
Thinking about the parents who went looking for children who were sent to do demolition projects. One mother found what was left of her son with his lunchbox clutched to his chest. He had grown and nurtured the crops (father was a soldier), and it was his first harvest that went into that lunch. She grieved more because he never got to eat it.
They were real people who suffered horribly because of the hubris of their government.
And the awful power of ours.
Awful power. Think about it. We're doing the same thing in Iraq.
From the other thread about the warmonger shooting the guy, the wingnuts are "not going to let the left lose another war like they did to the Vietnam war." That will be the emerging theme soon with them. Get ready because the stupid things will turn violent thinking that will make what's obvious to the rest of the world, not true. They'll kill before they accept their stoopid fuckups cost so many American lives and money.
Which will make for very violent times here and in Iraq because opposition to the war has nothing to do with its failure.

I know, baby. Yes, the brakes are braking - but I have to look after Arthur, and go up to Pincher Creek and horror of horrors, actually deal with the verdammnt Army and the horrible 'Case' which is coming to fruition.... And maybe even go back to work. All of this in the space of about two weeks.
If I could have my way I'd stumble over to ABQ, bringing Olav the Boy Wonder in my wake, take him thru Peridot and Socorro, and then bat him back up to you in Abq -
But all I can do for the very next moment is finish taking the short hairy guy for a walk around the nabe to persuade him that 105F is really, really too hot. And hope to get things sorted out..... There have been times where I've said to hell with it and done and gone. But this week and the next and the next cannot be those times again. I wish, and wish and wish - and spit in one hand.
