    Flu shots

    And around here they're lining up outside, in the rain.

    ALCS

    Anyone know where to get an internet audio feed for the game today? At work, no radio. Go Sox
  3. http://www.washingtonclimbers.org/
  4. No way, it'll be sunny at Smith gudamnit!
  5. Is there a real demand there for all that yoga? Really, if they just put the weights and some cardio equipment in the yoga room I think it'd be just about worth the $67.
  6. w00t! w00t! I've been dreaming lately of that perfect calm - skinning up through the trees in a light snow, giddy with excitement for the ride down through the trees.
  7. Interesting, I stand corrected, thanks.
  8. On the same ballot, CO has a vote on how their state's electoral votes are distributed - either winner-take-all as it is now, or proportionally (they'd be the only state to do this). This is only one of the potential 'legal quagmires', given the recent reports of discarded new registrations in various states and a closer eye on all the weird shit that went on in N Florida four years ago.
  9. I think by law all states have to allow absentee voting? It's just in a bunch they make you supply an 'approved excuse'. http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?BRD=1829&dept_id=107421&newsid=12978669&PAG=461&rfi=9 According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, at least 24 states allow anyone to mail in an absentee ballot, for any reason. These include most of the states west of the Mississippi River, including Iowa, as well as North Carolina and the battleground state of Florida. At least 16 states also open the doors to actual polling places for several days before Election Day, as does Iowa. Allamakee County residents can vote at the Auditor's office in the courthouse in Waukon beginning September 23 for the November 2 election. The Auditor's office will be open October 23 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (the last day for voter registration) and Saturday, October 30, from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Twenty-six states plus the District of Columbia still require voters to provide a reason from a list of approved excused absences (such as being disabled, on vacation, stationed overseas) in order to request and receive an absentee ballot. A new rule in Virginia grants a mail-in ballot to anyone who says they'll be at work and commuting for more than eleven hours on Election Day.
  10. They've been saying that for a couple of years now...
  11. Someone did something similar a few years ago when measure 9 was up - a spoof 'pro' argument. Pretty funny. Got $250 to spend? You too can have your say.
  12. Oregon has until Friday to mail theirs. Worth a phone call but I wouldn't worry too much yet.
  13. Can't we all get along and just dis on the snowboarders?
  14. Sure would suck and be a big disappointment. Patagonia sets some of the best examples with regards to the environment and good employment practices, they're everything Nike is not.
  15. So I have to have worked for a rep in order to comment on their performance? Think about it a sec, that's a really stupid argument. Bitch.
  16. Try here: http://www.e-orderhere.com/cgi-bin/cs/shopexd.asp?id=1854
  17. Didn't you get clocked at some 98 miles per hour? Dunno how you'd get out of that. I've contested a couple of tickets back east and both times they chopped the fine in half just for showing up with some lame excuse, maybe that'd work. Good luck!
  18. Is this all on site in Seattle?
  19. Nice pic. I think that's MtnHigh, FunGuy and I topping out on Wherever I May Roam near the end of the day Friday. Fun stuff.
  20. Ya, good times. Thanks Steve! GaperTimmy where were you???

    VP Debate

    Just a thought on the 'online' polls that come out right after the debates - it's probably worth questioning their accuracy as many Democratic groups are organizing people to go to those sites to vote. Seems like most media outlets are calling it a draw.

    VP Debate

    Niiiiiiiice. Cracked, you're not such an ASS afterall. Kerry reminds me of a Scooby Doo villian...something about the long jaw and all. Edwards is NOT goodlooking and kisses Kerry's ass. He looks like Plasticman. He looks GAY! Did you watch his expressions? Okay, I watched Queer Eye before...and it was like Deja Vu! He So looks like Carson! Does he actually have any original thoughts? Reminds me of some people on this site. If the dems win this one, this country is going to turn into a big scarey chaotic cartoon. I am a non partisan, by the way. This is the stupidest thing I have read on cc.com in quite some time.... Congratulations, moron.

    PDX bar scene

    The best bar in Portland is the one you can walk home from
  24. So because the 'righties' who preach hate an intolerance, it is ok to scream at some guy who believes a different way? Your post implied that people on the left are getting in others faces but not the other way around. Well my experiences shows otherwise. Are things getting nastier on both sides? Ahh, perhaps, and it is sad indeed.
