goddamn engineers again - i tell ya

Way to go Spanker, you glorious bastard!

I only got 4, but then I drink Henry's cause I can't afford the expensive shit like you connoisseurs.

fuck you - start yur own test whiner

TLG - nothing quite like those two stainless steel benwaw balls is there?

press you don't have to register, just start right in answering questions.

don't call me narrowminded

Damn right

...just don't call me Sue

Let me stir the Thursday afternoon pot with a little more hearsay. It's my understanding that if a Federal construction project destroys wetlands, the project has to "build" twice as much as before. At least that's the way it was when we fixed a dam* a few years ago. I think riparian habitat is a 1:1 replacement ratio. *Aside: the leaking dam is what created the "wetland" in the first place. But the leaking dam was unsafe and had to be repaired. The "new" dam was then designed in such a way to leak over twice as large an area as the original, at great expense to the taxpayers I might add. Gotta love Federal contracting.

Straight up! Gore is toast if he runs again. So's Clinton (Hillary). I don't see anyone on the horizon for the Dems. But then, no one thought Bush had much of a chance either. On the disagreement front, when Reagan ran for President in 1980, I remember hearing about the 11th Commandment: thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican. And the joke about how a Democrat firing squad forms a circle. I just thought it was interesting to see party discipline in action, that's all. They both do it.

It's done, but he probably won't respond cause he's too dumb.

I recall several posts back before the election about how eerie it was that Dems would not criticize or disagree with each other. Many of the posters thought it one more example of how the Republicans have a better party, one that allows disagreement. Not so fast there, pard! Speaker Hastert has decided to replace the seniority system for deciding chairmanships to committees with one that determines how well the potential chairman has adhered to the message he wants to send as a Republican implementing the White House political agenda. The implication is clear - speak out and you risk losing your committee assignment. Our representative is a chairman of an appropriations committee of some sort and he has said that he expects to be returned but that he is relying on the personal relationships he has built up over the years to protect him from retribution. Seems like the Dems aren't the only ones imposing discipline on the troops. Or is this eerie as well? Just to start a little bloodletting on a Thursday while I'm between phone calls and bored....

Mtn. Goat's been pretty quiet...I think I'll start a new thread for him to play with.

tease

more likely Dr. Amazing will stick a rubber glove up your heinie

Because you run on emotion SK

I'm sorry dude, not me, but I'm pimpin' for Cavey today.

settle down - there's plenty of trask to go around

I've found that to be true about engineers, scientists, school teachers and sailors. They all drive me fucking up the wall with their analytical horseshit. I had a blowboater ask me about british thermal units as it applies to sailboats once...WTF?

"...heh baby you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind" btw, way to punt
