sorry, it never freezes in the gorge

And yet you made it through Beowulf. Sicko. there's a sliiiiight difference in length, senor - that, and for b-wulf, it's all about the translation - seamus hanney slapped enough lipstick on the pig to make it porkable for me i reckon...

still in the market for a beacon partner saturday - mostly sunny, maybe no wind, and fine late-afternoon sun on the n-side rock usually in said conditions...

i was thinking seahawks, what w/ the region and all, but okay, sure, reckon that more properly'd be 'hawks

I am the Kwisatz Haderach... sorry, i never could make it through the books, but i thought hte usa made-for-tv movie said somethign 'bout that not being true in the end? what would sting tell me today?

40 years w/o vodka - utter madness - missing out on the joys of stalinism *might* have been worth the sacrifice though?

i can understand why people would hate the EC - i mean, it's practically the same as ED, amirite? and "college" - holy shit, books are for nerds n' fags! if it was the "electoral grid-iron of champions!!! " we'd have no problems at all

if only we had a gubbiment as good as our people!!!

given my frequent state of mind and the state of the road when i'm coasting through there, i'm gonna bet it's the fear of almighty god and the instinct of any penitent man that birthed the appellation

blazers v hawks, such an intriguing and appropriate metaphor for the beatard conundrum! i especially like that neither side is playing the same sport

Your smart enough not to stupidly ignore my point, irrespective of how inconvenient it is to your myopic world view. i must indeed be myopic - shit talking a man who is actively being stupid seems appropriate, and ceasing to shit talk after said man admits a mistake does too - where did i miss your point?

yes, that's it excatly (though the word "far" could certainly be debated and evicted from the sentence) liberals of necessity have to tolerate a great deal of diversity of opinion, since that's, like, the meaning of "liberal" - christ, compare the crowd shots of who attended the repubs n' dems summer conventions last year - notice any difference? okay, take the liebernman example - dem's in his state had a choice between him, a moderate, and a more liberal guy - hardly bizarre. now compare it to bob igliss, a south carolian who is amazingly conservative on every single issue in the book, except climate change, who lost too. there is a difference.

x2 - indeed, they courted his support for the past 2 presidential elections and got it Um, yeah, NOW they have respect for him because he is shit-talking R's. But when he gave that talk before the UN - and for years afterwards.... not so much respect. um, did you get the memo where even powell admitted that was the biggest regret of his life n' a big part of why he quit the cabinent? seems pretty reasonable to be angry at a man who capitalized on liberals profound respect for his life and intellectual qualities to schill for a monumentally stupid war, utilizing evidence that i doubt even you would now stick up for.

the paulistas of south america wished to be free of the meddlesome regulations of spain, cause, ya know, regulations against slavery were fucking up their ability to get wealth too (funny, the base of the republican party lodges in states that made a similiar complaint not too long ago?) ah, a "free" market debate!

x2 - indeed, they courted his support for the past 2 presidential elections and got it thomas, on the other hand, is nuttier than squirrel-poo, but i'd never think to call him an "uncle tom" (christ, what white person ever uses that label?) details, meh. liberals hated bush, but for arguable far more accurate reasons, and while they might have joked he was the love-child of krusty the klown, they weren't seriously claiming he was kenyan, or killed a whole school-full of kids to justify a war on the 2nd amendment.

speaking of, i liked howard dean's quip on bill maher last week, batting around conspiracy theories w/ 2 repubs on the panel: "sure, we got crazies in our party, but they're like 10% of the total, where as you guys are more like 50%"

the lead singer oughta at least be "dick nixon"

"gary coleman is commonly unappreciated as the god-father of flava-flav's pro-chronological movement"

since yer parents own the originals, i suppose it depends on wether or not you first obtained their permission?

what this thread needs is a large, high-res image of a big, fat....

"the fucking republicans" band concept: - all dressed to the tees - all closet gay - all songs really shitty covers of 80s classics that were kinda stupid at the time, but w/o the reasonable excuse then of having been likable because yer nuts hadn't yet progressed past the peach-fuzz stage - all tickets beyond the price range of the ignorant hillbillies who can't afford them, yet inexplicably make up the kkkore of the fanbase - mascot: "the quayle-monster" - some bastard genetic mutation wrought from the cumstains extracted from the undergarments of dan n' that bible-spice chick i'm sure i'm missing something?

bird man, my favorite buck rogers character after the totally gay sycophantic buddy-buddy robot feller!

damn straight - yet only the kwisatz haderach may quest to climb the olympus mons in the purest of styles!!!

x2 - would love to see a true gay-pride parade of beatard wingnuts making the pilgrimage in multi-colored goretex on saturday, as da wedder looks to be stellar last year that first closure weekend we had a fine party all rigged up for the swiss ledges, a great big haul-bag of every dangerous substance known to civilized man since 1681, yet it ended up tragically windy and we spent the night in a grim, albeit thoroughly drunken, survival mood, shrieking at each other above the din of the eastern gusts, the stone-pipe all to seek
