HERE COMES THE SNAFFLE... OH SHIT!! GET IT OFF, GET THIS DAMN SNAFFLE OFF MY CHEST!!! ARRRGGGG!!! EEEEEEKKK!!!

Oooh! Oooohh! Daddy, I gotta PEEEE!!!

You talkin' 'bout me? Shizzle, ma nizzle, I'z the OG Pimp.

As much as it pains me to do so, in the next election, I'll vote democrat. It's going to be close in my estimation, and I'm not willing to waste a vote like I did in Bush/Gore. In '08, I go Libertarian....unless Hillary runs and it looks like she has a shot, then I'll put my vote toward the best contender opposing her. It's a catch 22, if you have libertarian views and don't vote your conscious, third parties will never be viable, but if you do, you're wasting your vote. It's a "are you voting for someone, or against someone" decision. This time around, I'm voting against someone.

Libertarian, almost centrist, close to left-liberal. Of the over 2 million people taking the poll, the greatest percent...35% were libertarian, second was centrists at 30%.

Chooo Chooo!!! Can you say LOW IMPACT kids? I knew you could! Wipe that smile off your face missy! Forgeting your helmet is not a laughing matter! And how am I supposed to know your name?!

c'mon Dryad, you can get in on the fun too. Try this one: "Glissading bro seems to be saying...AHHH!!! Snow filled crotch is SOOOO invigorating. It's like a York Peppermint Patty on my hoo hah"

PIMP STROLL!!!! CAAAARRREEEEFUUULLL!!! EXXXTREEEMMMM!!! DO the DEW!!!

If your worried about where the number will sit at year's end, you're in the wrong game my friend. I have no stress with my portfolio because I buy, and hold, and hold, and hold, and hold somemore. Something drastic has to be on the horizon before I make big changes. I'll dump an underperformer occasionally...I used to be hot on Alcoa, then with problems with their wet cathode smelting technology they were developing, decreasing worldwide demand, and high energy costs in an industry that is extremely heavily dependent on cheap energy...I dumped it, at a profit too. I got all my ducats out before the tech bubble collapsed...if you didn't see it coming, you were a fucking idiot...AskJeeves.com at $84? riiiiggghhttt. WebVan at $104? Uhhh, yeah. Once it bottomed out in the 7000s, I put it all right back in. Even today you've got what are essentially bastardized media companies...Yahoo, trading at far beyond their actual worth. Show me revenue, show me profit, show me assets. People are too focused on growth stocks, hoping to catch the next rising star...well it ain't a sprint kids, it's a marathon. On of the simplest things you can do is put more money in when the market goes south. It's bargain shopping. It's highly unlikely that an established blue chip will not recover and push to new heights. But again, which blue chips? People love Dell, and yeah Mike Dell is a phenomenally savy businessman, but at this point in time PCs are a commodity market. You can only outsource, resource, and streamline supply lines and production so much. After that, what happens? Nothing, you're sitting on an overvalued commodity because you expected it to keep growing. Study Buffet, study Dodd, study Graham. Read Siegel's Stocks for the Long Run. Learn to read a balance sheet. Know who the leading three firms are in the sectors you're invested in. Find the 10-50 year trends that will drive our future...i.e. aging baby boomer population, and exploit it. Whether the Dow's at 10k , 9k, or 11k is the big "so what". Short term fluctuations are a byproduct of brokers and analysts trying to make short term numbers and boost transaction costs.

Here's an observation: You seem to be confusing part with whole. For example, you are a woman, but you are not all women. Therefore you are part, not whole. You are confusing hatred toward you with hatred toward the whole. I love everybody. "C'mon people now smile on your brutha, everybody get together try to love one another right now" Damn I hate that song, lazy damn hippies

Suck it Puget

Did someone say Mounties? Look there they go...up there

The Duel f'in RULEZ! Never read the book, but saw the movie and have seen the albino kid all grown up...still lives in the area. I've also got a polaroid of me sitting on the General Lee car of the Dukes of Hazzard at about 7 years old. YEEEEEE HAAAAWWW!

Bribe? Hmmmm. Could be.

alright, I been running my mouth all day, but I gotta comment on this one. Erwin ,TN is right off the AT. When I was hiking it, I holed up there on this commune farm for about a week to chill with some hippified folks. I went to the bar in Erwin on a Sat night with this crazy ass German dude with the whole 80's hair metal look goin, some preppy guy and gal from Cape Cod, a young chica from FL, and the local dude who owned the hiker's hostel. I thought we were gonna get beaten down for sure. We're all in typical hiker garb. Bad looks, getting bumped around, bartender would barely serve us. A few "fuckin queers" comments. Then German buddy put some AC/DC on the jukebox, and started gettin down! Dancin up a storm, head banging, throwin the devil horns, and the Florida girl was groovin with him, laughing her ass off. A bunch of the three-tooth backwoods mamas started in dancing and soon we couldn't buy a beer, were being handed a new one before we were finished with the last. All 'cause of crazy german dude. There was one kid in there who would talk to us before the ACDC went on the box. I still wouldn't go to Erwin alone, and I was hitching outside Johnson City to get back to the trail after a resupply and some dickwad drilled me in the back of the head with a half-empty Big Gulp at about 40mph. It gets worse a little farther north. Near Roan Mtn, TN and Elk City, NC the local have been known to string fishhooks on clear monofilament fishing line at head height across the trail because they don't like the hikers.

Trask, I'd also like to vote for the Libertarians. Probably the closest party to my own beliefs....small govt, fiscally conservative, socially liberal. But after Bush/Gore I can't see myself doing it. I wish someone would splinter from their party...McCain might have a chance, and run maybe with Perot's machine backing them...but it's exactly that: wishful thinking.

14 shots? Damn, how did that cop even get through qualifying? That piggie needs a little teaching like my uncle used on us "one shot, one kill, or an ass whipping". I've missed a few shots on game in heavy timber, but I've made alot of first shots count. I'd love one good shot at Osama...let me get my .50 cal sniper rifle on the bipod, that's right, inhale....exhaaaalllleeee squeeezeee BLIGGGITYY Y BLAMMMM!!!!! That's how you make 'em count.

No man, I'm really motivated. Those last two weren't supposed to be there. My Mac does some weird shit when I'm editing posts sometimes, always wants to put the graemelins at the end when I click 'em. I've been working out hard, and if it weren't about 2000 miles to Squish, I'd be amped to get on some rock.

I've bouldered with Matt in NC. He's definitely the tall-skinny type, but he's nowhere near as tall as Potter. Matt might be 6'1", if that.

I'm not a Bush supporter, but you might want to read this Google rigged

You know where this is assface? That's right YOU ESS AYYY!! Notice the stars and bars flying proud on the hat.

OMFG!!! I almost pissed my pants reading that
