I'm not embarrassed to admit that I've always liked that song.

That you are willing to satisfy your intellectual curiosity via no small undertaking/investigation is impressive. Very nice report.

bread... bread... bread... FIRECRACKER!!! bread... bread...

Send it labeled "Attention: 2nd Amendment fund." They'll get a kick outta that.

On our way home we'll stop off at Casa Que Pasa and have him make us one of 'dem po-tay-to burritos 'for we beat im down.

What do you mean by "you people", you racetard? I think he's making threats. You up for a trip to lilly-white Bellingham KK?

Err, would it have to do with the race-baiting and minority/poor voter suppression efforts by Republicans at election times? Do you need details? Like this? [video:youtube]

Oh my! That really was a Hansu Hitori.

I'm sure Limbaugh was speaking rhetorically, using satire and illustrative tongue-in-cheek humor. Much like the libtools do here.

Did he have time take a trophy scalp before calling 911? An ear, finger, or foreskin at least?

Like this one? http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/905643/TR_Ptarmigan_Traverse_9_2_2009#Post905643 Since you don't actually climb, I'm not sure why you're posting here. Do you have anything to contribute?

There's a lot of info out there. In addition to being nasty in the particulate matter department, the production of diesel fuel uses 25% more energy--virtually all of the energy per mile you gain while driving isn't real. Also keep in mind that there is a NASA study currently underway that may end up placing a lot of the blame for glacial recession on albedo decreases caused by soot. Here's a place to start: http://www.air-quality.org.uk/26.php http://www.air-quality.org.uk/04.php

Passat TDI has the same engine capacity as regular Passat. The only reason these cars get better gas mileage is not some superior drive train efficiency, but energy content in diesel fuel vs regular gasoline (which is close to twice). Popularity of diesel in Europe is due to the price point of diesel, which is cheaper. In the US diesel is only slightly cheaper, and the pollution created by diesel is much worst then pollution created by gasoline. Going towards natural gas/propane systems would make much more sense. Propane/Gas would indeed. But this is rated 9 out of 10 stars for reliability (96 ONLY). And 54mpg means I burn 1/2 as much fuel as the 25 mpg vehicle that opened this thread. Are you saying that deisel pollutes twice as bad as regular unleaded? It's over 20 times worse.

You're kind of an asshole.

Huh??

I stopped reading ANAM ten years ago. Same sad tales. Nobody learns from them. It seems no tale, however terrible, can overcome the self-assuredness of the mountain climber.

Except for contractors, right?

I'll leave it at that. But in the future, if he wants to get up on a pedestal and lecture about family and children to those of us who have worked hard and sacrificed for ours--even while he trashes them --you should not offer him any defense whatsoever.

Speaking of hired killers; what do you think about Obama signing the warrant for that little Somalia operation yesterday? Technically, he ordered the killing another human being. Who knows what this man is capable of!!

No problem at all. Just some basic retaliatory spray using info gleaned right here in open forum.

Fucking little communist crybaby.

...or your wife, I gather. Why, exactly, did the missus recently depart? good to see standards in spray can still be lowered. i assume you'll be fine w/ your family life getting thrown into the fray? You're kidding, right? You read the thread progression? You understand that your dipshit, OCD friend began this descent? He may very well be a likable guy with some really cool hobbies, but he apparently has some really not-so-cool traits that cost him his wife. He wants to get nasty with me and attack my family? Fuck him.
