ahhh, i see - a cunning linguist! what handle do your prefer for the denizens of the proto-americas?

betcha wouldn'ta been a fan of virginia's old lee-jackson-king holiday then either! columbus day's about whatever you want it to be 8-ball - to me, it seems a fine excuse to have a day off and recollect that the dudes who built the country did so on the bones of the people who lived here first - shit, i think dave mathews did a song 'bout it n' everything!

Not too many Americans in the 15th century. 10-100 million americans at the time he arrived, according to the babbling horde of historians that have attempted to augor a number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_history_of_indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas

it took 2 hrs for you to sober up?!? light-weight!

must...not....make...joke 5.9 and a big stick i can manage at least (if only to complete the oregon trifecta)

so how hard is it to cheat your way through the toughest pitches, w/ or w/o a stick clip?

hard to find any group of meat-puppets in the 15th century taht wasn't abusing the fuck out of everybody, including themselves - the spanish, in the example of columbus, were hardly singling out americans for abuse, just ask monty python!

my fav hl mencken quote: "The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all."

kinda makes me feel like i done drank too much

reckon i know about as much about poverty as you do about humor

they're not of course

the improvemetns already made are probably worth the 5 bucks already - i prefer the wild west however banning giant rv's n generators on the other hand...

no thanks - poverty has compelled me to forego decent beer for pabst, and i can shit in a field for free and be perfectly happy reckon i can do that just outside the gate though, as has been said...

So in 500 years it will be ok to celebrate Hitler? hitler was already considered a villian by the vast majority of the world at the time of his death a silly non-issue, mostly - the new and old worlds inevitably were going to collide - the collision was inevitably going to go badly for the americans - as the holiday stands, it's a fine opportunity for a history teacher to call attention to both sides - the columbian exchange wasn't all bad, at least some eye-talians caught themselves the clap as a result of it

we should get out kids out there 2gether dave! my daughter caught the bug on a blasted indoor gym and i need to get herself outside b4 she goes over to the darkside reckon i should start by getting a harness...

don't recall how you damaged yerself chica - blew out an o-ring blowing an elephant was it? you back in the saddle then?

did kevbone call the spray police on this one?

you got a bobcat?

the past couple days actually - do believe dave and i just missed each other's solo trips up the still sliiiiightly wet corner on monday who wants to climb w/ me this weekend?!?

nice! but a shame you couldn't catch me in the middle of the shrieking swing of shame after i cut lose from that last piece i'm on there!

that's is what the mexican situation appears to validate wonder how the numbers work out for eldiente's plan? the revolving door thing for politicians is epic bullshit for certain, i can't believe that crap is legal.

didn't see sobo picking up on that at all

i'm for universal healthcare, so yeah, that part works for me.
