  1. not possible - he appeared in playboy magazine (w/ his clothes on, thank phuck) - any cat cool enough to get into the real mansion is clearly having too much fun in life to earn the worst ever prize
  2. dude - no way! jimmy was a swinging bachelor and was using the white house as his personal swinger's pad - he clearly was having too much fun to be "worst ever"
  3. the one having the least fun? would have to be "silent cal" coolidge i'd imagine maybe millard fillmore - goddamn, w/ a name like millard you have to be one moopy-fuck!
  4. you do like to assume, dontcha actually, i'm a cracker meself, bred n' buggered in the south and spent much of my life back there drunk as a skunk, stumbling 'round civil war battlefields (it passed for adventure in a very flat land) i've never understood the splitting of hairs that goes on over the civil war origins - yes, to be precise, the origin of the war was in economics and property rights, but as the property in question, and the engine of the southern economy WAS slavery, it seems a pretty pointless distinction. of course the damn yankees were bigots too, but that didn't mean they approved of slavery - lincoln's party was incredibly clear on desire to halt the spread of slavery, and that was clearly the reason for the initial wave of southern secessions in 1860-1. at any rate, the parallel to today is a fair one. 1860's crackers fought for a system that wasn't working for them b/c they liked the dream of being one of the select few that it did enrich - same as 2008 crackers (though the jesus is on the gop's side is a wee bit different)
  5. this was the same reason why the same rednecks fought for the right to have slaves when NONE OF THE POOR CRACKERS HAD SLAVES funny how shit don't change?
  6. if you don't support felons and isane folks getting guns, then you necessarily can't support the status quo, which allows it
  7. remember the meaning of life, from "the meaning of life?"
  8. no weapon rights in the magna carta regretably, but it does talk a great deal about scutage!
  9. was spending some time today at www.vote-smart.org on an activity w/ my seniors and encountered this relevant nugget from michael delavar, the republican opposing bryan baird for congress is the 3rd district - this comes from their "political courage test" which is very interesting and goddamit it'd be nice if all the candidates for all races would fill the damn things out anyhow, on the part of the test related to guns, he votes to get rid of ALL restrictions on weapons, and wrote this nice little note:
  10. holy shit - the tax rate on the upper income tier used to be 94%! this is a good extract from the article: umm...sounds like a no-brainer for all the po'folk like me - now why can't all the other rednecks dig on this?

    it's the wild-west around here, esse - pretty much anything goes 'cept threatening folks, as it should be. as noted, calling folks poo-poo heads can lose your posts style points, but on rare occasions it does add to their hilarity. in the end, it's not like you're gonna change anybody's mind, so you might as well have some fun w/ the assholes, no?
  12. tell me more. where is it?
  13. is that renton?
  14. i like it when rob gets angry "i can FEEL it!"
  15. fried okra for bean sprouts?
  16. alright, fine, but trading the university of virginia for the university of oregon IS retarded as is trading grits for cream of fucking wheat sweet tea for blah, blah plain tea camel filters for no smoking at all white tailed deer for black tailed deer pennsylvania oil for texas oil yadda, yadda
  17. and yet, it would seem, so utterly easy to ignore?
  18. dude, republicunts are sore WINNERS - i remember bill maher had this geriatric senator on back in 2004 the friday after bush won and bill was trying to congratulate his party for actually getting the most votes the 2nd time around and the gop-grandpa went fucking bat-shit and starting spray molten-crazy all over the set about the evil of liberal-fucks, which seemed strange, if for no other reason than he was an old friend of maher's
  19. the Magna Carta from 1215 contains some fun pearls like this'n: "31. Neither we nor our bailiffs shall take another's wood for castles or for other private uses, unless by the will of him to whom the wood belongs."
  20. the one's i've had/used didn't hold up well in challenging snow conditions and really tended to bust when trying to pry out frozen blocks - it is damned awkward tryign to fit an entire snow-shovel into an alpine pack though...

    fox's bread n' butter. every week we get at least one of these: "white girl missing! we go live to bed, bath n' beyond!"

    on reading the article, i wouldn't be losing too much sleep over these doorknobs- they sound like they'd have a hard time finding their own asses w/ a map and a flash-light
  23. no, but as a fellow kraut, it does mean i'm depressive and alcoholic, character traits which are well re-inforced by my irish half
  24. i'd imagine it starts just left of the pedastal belay on jills, right at the top of fear of flying - there are old bolts there w/ the hangers removed and a pin up a short, steep, dirty crack that heads off towards the yosemite ledge - might be nice if clean, but as it is a no-brainer to go w/ jill's instead dunno on your point ben - it would seem very odd to do a long and very difficult traverse (free) as opposed to just pulling hte roof right above the anchor - nate (fargo) did what we've been thinking is takes fist all free and i don't think he was thinking it was .12. our takes fist also gets easier once you pull the roof, unlike the crack 2 nowhere, which is wicked steep and has no cozy stemming or micro feet.

    what's the big deal? whackos in our country have been plotting (and occasionally suceeding) to kill political candidates and office holders for a long time - what's the difference between killing a president (or candidate) because he's black vs b/c he's a commie-lover, catholic, anti-southerner, pro-israeli, etc., etc. good on the atf i reckon - wonder if they used the patriot act at all in making the collar?
