The marketing VP for Kentucky Fried Chicken gets an audience with the Pope. "Your holiness, KFC is willing to honor the Vatican with 10% of KFC's North American gross profits if you change the Lord's Prayer from 'Give us this day our daily bread.' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken.'" The Pope responds, "I can't do that. It's the Lord's Prayer after all." The VP counters with, "We are willing to offer you 10% of KFC's Western Hemisphere gross profits if you change the Lords Prayer from 'Give us this day our daily bread.' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken.'" "A fine and generous offer.", responds the Pope, "But it can't be done. It is the Lord's Prayer after all." The VP leans in close, "I'm not supposed to do this, but for you, we are willing to offer 10% of KFC's world gross profits if you change the Lords Prayer from 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken.'" The Pope pauses a moment and says, "I'll think about it." At the Archbishops meeting the next week, the Pope opens the meeting with, "Gentlemen, I believe we are going to have to rethink the Wonder Bread account..."

I hear of this sort of thing occasionally. My response is, how can the school board enforce such a mandate. There is no way the board in my district can monitor what I teach in my classroom. If I get out of line and begin espousing the virtues of alien abduction or the innate superiority of aryan brotherhood, they might hear about it, but to not focus a realtively small part of my time in the school year to creationism over evolution is something they can't possibly prove or disprove: "Hey, did you give equal time to the 'Theory of Creationism' over that 'Evolution' travesty?" "Uh, ya, sure, you betcha!" Unless of course they are rabid enough about it to plant listening devices; then I'm screwed.

Semper farcissimus!

A tonic strongly advised by Dr. Meuwse for climbing literature malaise... Downward Bound-A Mad Guide to Rock Climbing by Warren Harding Excerpt from the white vs black hat climber rating system contained within (italics are mine): "Fred Becky (sic) Zone ? Mr. Becky (sic) is the object of a complete investigation being conducted by the LSED & FS (?) to determine the validity of his prodigious (claimed) climbing record- of which serious doubts have been raised. When one considers the amount of time Mr. Becky (sic) spends driving to and from Seattle, talking on the telephone, and shitting, it seems more than likely that he has done virtually no climbing at all, despite the fact that he is reputed to be the oldest climber in the United States (publication date, 1975). Zone rating will be withheld pending completion of the inquiry."

How do you know he was vietnamese?

Maybe it was combat, which would make it okay?

I think this is a pretty good likeness for the missing image in the collage:

Use that logic on this: The massacre of American soldiers captured during the Battle of the Bulge took place on a field near a small village called Baugnez, not far from Malmedy, Ardennes (Bulge), Belgium. On December 17th 1944, 84 unarmed members of the US 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion were killed by Waffen-SS soldiers of the Kampfgruppe Peiper. (Search "Malmedy Masscre" for details.) The silence is deafening... Well ya fucking dipshit. I am drunk as fuck, but I recall the Americans following the geneva convention. If your cohorts are pretending to wave the white flag and fraging people, it is a little hard to take one seriously whe you are waving the white flag. Give me a fucking break. If a drunk ass 23 year old can see this, why can you? Okay, then I will: Using your logic, the Malmedy incident wasn't an execution, it was combat.

You would miss it. Oh, yes, you would.

Knickers with a white belt... never after Labor Day.

"It's all far from over."

"In my mind, it's still up in the air," (Dave Riley) said. "We're going to continue to work with the Yakama Nation and provide additional information to them so they can continue to consider the development."

What, is that with a "sherpa coupon"???? I thought it was more like $60-$65K! Bulk-entourage discount...
