Thus the new theme becomes "The Decade of Colons." You may consider that a comment on grammar or a comment on a decade of s$$h0les. Sorry worked my first 15 hour day since my surgery - managing a users' conference for our military and applied science users - a little tired and punchy.

Nothing Wayfer I was being rude - sorry

Groucho didn't you mean fell down on the face of Deborah - blank first???

Yeah I was around Jard - I musta blocked it as a mental survival thing - a freaking bronze staute???? LOLOLOL

Another new one for me - they don't even MENTION Jesus Christ? So when they pray does it close with "in the name of a 5 D cell vibe name destroyer I thank you for deliverance?"

LOL Donna and Rosadink always wore pants - or not smirks - Hey if Jim is corect then did Joe Coulter go trans so he could hang with the other two? Sorry I just can't help it this morning - not enough sleep - ...

Uhhh thanks for the update Wayer and Belle - well sorta - I need to clean the puke from my keyboard now. A bronze statue - LOLOLOL. A bronze statue?!?!?! They didn't burn it as an idolatrous image on Uncle Fairy day??? Oh my LOL - I will just shut up. This could get me going way more than I should ever post publically.

You are sh(tting me right???? Elisha? LOL Does that make Rosastink god????? Oh no I forgot that means the arrogant flick woulda had to have been compared to Elijah..... Yo Elijah get me another box and some more packing tape - and make it quick - the UPS truck comes soon

You mentioned "a good bit of rust." If there is signiicant pitting rebluing is not gonna give you a safe firearm. For something like that much rust I would take it to a pro and have it insepcted. A for ammo you can buy east bloc 7.62 in the US (not made in the US) of reasonable manufacture. If you don't know how old that ammo is I wouldn't trust it a whole lot.

Nice Belle - does "walking in the steps of Jesus Christ" mean all the dolts get crucified?

I vote for mstar as the winner

LOL Poor Ron - I just looked up scurrilous on Mirriam Webster for fun 1 a : using or given to coarse language b : vulgar and evil <scurrilous imposters who used a religious exterior to rob poor people -- Edwin Benson> Ron G. are you secretly still in TWI using a religious exterior to rob poor people?!?!?! Sorry man - I couldn't resist

SHOOOOT MEEEEEE

Much like the article on Saudi religious police I found it perfectly ironic that there was an add in the middle of the article promoting the movie Hollywood Land. Beautiful.

Hilarious - right in the middle of the article was an ad for Pedigree dog food. It is an animated GIF or somesuch and the last frame had, at the bottom, "Dogs Rule." The irony is more than perfect. Hey does that mean that the Saudi religious police want to make dogs and cats into greasespots and serve them at some cafe?!?!

My preferred version is "Eat $h(t - ten billion flies can't all be wrong"

Dunno - hmm there was a song in the sixties something like "In the Year 2121" though - laffs. When I was young teen I thought it was a cool song - now I'm sure the lyrics would sound cheesy.

Heh - It's OK DM - we're all thinking the same thing - laffing so hard it hurts...

Raytheon gets $800K for every Tomohawk cruise missle. That doesn't include storage, launch facilities, training etc. Now let's say that a reasonable laptop is right around $1K these days. The arithmetic speaks loudly. On the other hand I am not against a cruise missle or 50 when needed.

I loved living on the east side - which is where you HAVE to be referring to. I nevr understood why Cleveland was called "The Mistake by The Lake" except for the 35mph curve on the 90 just before downtown. The rest of the east side was wonderful. Good art, music, theatre, great restaraunts - damned - well I won't qute leave San Diego to go back there but if I had to leave it would be on my list....

Sentence diagramming Waysider? Now I know how old you are. Nice defuse though!! Look I don't know why there is all this venom about SF's comment. I worked at LSU in Baton Rouge for 15 years. LSU is rated in the top 20 NSF research universities but there is no doubt that there are plenty of legislative "hicks" in LA. While I was there, anti-abortion legislation was passed. The governor a moderate (for LA) wanted to include exclusions for rape and incest. A LA senator publically said that it is "only rape the first time after that it is just sex" and also went through some inane and insane tirade about how thoroughbred horse breeding includes some incest and that incest might produce a "super smart child" Hick????? Sh(t yes!!!! Everyone in LA a hick - heck no. I had the privilege to work with some of the finest mesoscale coastal scientists in the world in LA but that senator was a hick. I don't think SF was declaring that Ohioans are hicks - but that law (yes I looked it up and read it) smacks of violation of due process and hence I agree that the legislators that support it are hicks - or worse they are self serving criminals. Oh yeah - I lived in Cleveland for a while - and I don't think I am a hick SF - just a loud mouth - laffs.

SF and DM - I agree with both of you hoever my point was not that books and the internet are functionaly identical but that they are analogs and hence (in light of TWI) if the internet is evil then by analog comparison then books are evil. Books were one of the earliest forms of mass communication (I'll ignore jungle drums for now) and the internet is the modern analog - faster, easier, broader reaching. Another observation now that I am not tanked - if TWI teaches that the internet is evil why do they have a web site?!?! BTW SF - Also having been to a number of communist and other repressed nations I have long believed that the cure for that is to airlift cell phones, computers and fax machines more than weaponry... not that I am a pacifist by any means but the quickest way to dissolve a totalitarian regime is to give the population the ability to communicate.

Communism was spread throughout the world via printed material and "witnessing" - go read "The Communist Manifesto" by Marx and Engel - it did not achieve world ascendancy via the internet. Book expose you to everything the internet does - just slower in these times of high technology.

Heh - more years than you want to know about - LOL I walked out of the 1987 clergy meeting and was one of the first M&A even before they had that phrase... CC you can melt down the whole place and I'll buy the beer

Someone with an ounce of brains will take that the the Supreme Court - it smacks of violating innocent until proven guilty. But from a PR and marketing standpoint it makes PERFECT sense for the Catholic church to promote and support it. They have been publically alleged for years and it doesn't affect the size of their congregation significantly. They effectively pay NO price while some poor schmoe who offends some 16 yr old is gonna his/her job. Convicted child abusers/assaulters? Roast 'em (for real) on PBS and make it hurt and make it damned public - nothing wrong with a few thousand volts through the brain for that kind of horrible crime. However this law is even pre-conviction - and pre-charge - if this passes it will not be supported by ANY intelligent support WHATSOVER but by pure emotion and defiance of due process which is a constitutional guarantee. Only complete idiots, the COMPLETELY IGNORANT AND/OR ARROGANT (those who already know all), and the politcall a$$holes of Ohio will support this.
