Nah, that's spotted owl.

I'm going to see about cloning one of these: ...should keep the coons out of the garbage cans.

I'm just getting nervous - that dome is really invading my personal space.

Playing geologist, which means I'm occasionally standing by a drill rig in the rain, putting dirt into jars. I don't care what anyone says, 34 degrees and raining is the most miserable weather on the planet.

I've got one of their 'brig' pvc raincoats for field work - those neoprene cuffs rock for keeping rain from running down the arms.

You actually go looking for these things, don't you? You sad, sad man.

Can I spear a whale, too? I'm Ahab! Bwahahahah!

I invited Jesus into my life, but he drank all my scotch and hit on my girlfriend, so I had to kick him out.

Don' worry, he don't bite. He's great with kids...

Agreed - the polls I pulled tended to be a bit skewed - overall, the country seems to be split over who could get to their computers and click fastest. PHD Watched a good portion of the debate on PBS last night, and since I was making dinner while most of the poo-flinging was going on, I could only listen, rather than watch. So what I heard, was Cheney not responding directly to Edward's comments, but going back to previous comments, or tangenting off after a brief steaksauce toward the question. Not so effective to convince me. There are lies and obfuscations on both sides, as the usual cascade of factcheck links, etc. show, but Edwards seemed to me to sound like he wa able to roll out many more specifics than Cheney. When I did watch, Edwards, in trial-lawyer mode- was much more physically active and agressive, and looked up and forward, while Cheney was hunched and stared at the table while answering, like some kid in the principal's office. I thinks dwards entered the game with much more of a nothing-to-lose attitude, since he knew he was being punditted at teh underdog against an elder statesman. Although there should have been a drinking game for every time Edwards did that little thumb-point thing of his. Also remember that Cheney picked himself for VP, since he was the head of the VP search comittee for GW - Bush did not pick his own VP. "Cheney said he can't find anyone better than him, so I'm cool with that." One pacemaker-assisted heartbeat from the presidency (not that he isn't the co-president already).

Having been bit in the face by a dog - cornered our dalmatian under a table when I was 2 - the dog took a chunk out of my face and the folks had to drive to the hospital in a snowstorm. I learned an important lesson on personal space that day adn the dgo lived out his days unmolested by me. 'course, now the dog would be put to sleep and Child Protective Services would be after my parents. And the correct way to introduce your dog to someone on the trail is, "He hasn't bit anyone...yet."

Ok, so what's the thought process that went on here? Let's re-create the scene. "Penis? Chicken? Penis? Chicken? Hmmm..." Thwack! "Nope, not chicken." ... "Bad dog! Drop it! No! No!"

I don't have to go anywhere - snagged the wench from just a couple threads down the page... poke this

Hey Nalo, maybe she's available.

Speaking of GGW, I misread the topic title aas 'Slutocracy' - government by loose women. Whoohoo!!!
