Wow! Those Atlantic giant squids must have some long tentacles

Sorry you're right I didn't read that. I've filtered out your posts and thus can't read them. So are you saying he won't make it across the ocean? You're so negative man.

I doubt riding your bike to Alaska is as committing as being in some tiny boat 1000 miles from anything. If he gets tired or a bad storm comes up on the road to AK he can probably hunker down or quit before he's dead. Don't know if that's true on a one-man boat out in that big ol' ocean. It seems like experience would help a lot here, that's why I ask. Well anyway, enough of this negative talk. Good luck to ya Erden .

To bed the Minx, says Trask, methinks, I'll lure her in with pretty drinks

The perils of being just too f*n bitchin'. Sucks to be you dude.

Yeah no lie. That's gonna be one committing undertaking (or two actually). Does anybody know how much long-distance rowing experience Erden has?

This one rules!

Since I can't change my vote, I'm waiting until Dru has posted enough times for me to get a valid opinion of him.

I did end up getting much more sleep and spending less money than I would have otherwise. The Blue Star was nice, in a overbearing-mom or nagging-wife sorta way.

You don't have a problem with the place because you were asleep ! The problem with beer and friends at the Blue Star was that there was NO BEER . It was not the waitresses fault. It seemed to me that the Blue Star caters more to diners and isn't set up to handle late-night drinkers . And I guess it isn't really Dave's fault because how in hell is he supposed to know what happens anywhere after 9pm? However I think it is important that we allow those who actually know the hours of the bars to make the choice! I'd say BAN DAVE SCHULDT from the Pub Club threads if it weren't for the little technicality that there would be no Pub Club threads without him!

Oops! I didn't realize this was in the Spray section and would now be going to moderators other than Mattp. Sorry to turn you Matt . I think locking it (the thread) is cool. I'm glad you didn't delete it.

I took this post as a perfect opportunity to try out the little "notify moderator" button!

How much of a profit did the government get from building I-90?

Since when has it been necessary to make a profit from road building? I'll bet I-90 and Highway 20 ended up in the red too.

Here's the ads on the internet anti-SUV ads

You can do the whole of it in one very enjoyable pitch (50m rope). Gotta mind your rope drag, but that shouldn't be difficult if you consider the route a piece of cake.

TEmps at Index. Looking Good! (That Klar guy's got some good photos on his page )

Well, Saudi Arabia is a big one. I'm sure it keeps Iran a bit more friendly with us too. Back when act I of this 13 year drama ended, Bush had decided to not forcibly remove Saddam from power. The stated reason? To preserve the balance of power in the region. Doesn't anybody else remember this?

Not killing Saddam a mistake?: It kept all the other arabs (oil producers) who are scared of him, beholden to us. Plus if GW times it correctly, the final ouster of Saddam will secure him the 2004 election (if there even is one, terrorist threat need to postpone election due to security reasons). The US is omnipotent in the world right now. The only threat to the power of the people in charge is the US domestic populace. "Threats" are needed to keep the populace on board. Isn't is ironic how everybody (those damn liberal media) continually lambasted Bush on lack of foreign-policy smarts, yet now he's playing it optimally to promote domestic tranquillity/complacency? I thought the press was getting into demo's anti-war pitch (back before the vote in congress), but then Jose Padilla was coincidentally arrested for allegedly planning a dirty bomb and the dem's caved and thre press went with them. Whatever happened to old Jose? Is he still locked up without a lawyer? Maybe we'll see him again if the anti-war thing gets any more steam up.

Liberal radio talkshows: look to KIRO (the Mariner's station). They got some good ones. They got one token ex-marine rightist he gets the nightime "prime time", but the liberal ones get the drivetime which is probably radio's real prime time.

Do you guys heat the place when you're trying to snare a roomie?

Hot Iraqi Chix!!
