  1. Of course I don't think that. But he pulled it off so well it looked sincere.
  2. Trash fires can produce dioxin. If you burn any plastic which contains chlorine, such as PVC, you will get some dioxin.
  3. Moore is too partisan even for my tastes. He is stupid to pick a fight on this issue. He should graciously concede victory to Bush on this stunt- I mean genture to the troops- and move on to some other issue.
  4. I am generally pro union, but I believe the Teacher's Union works against quality. It is the main roadblock to improvement in public schools.
  5. Timmy, you "out-trasked" trask. Good one.
  6. You can blame the lawyers, but really you should blame the juries. They are the numbskulls who award the ridiculous damages. The system is designed to screen out responsible and intelligent people from juries. Only sheep end up on a jury.
  7. That's where we disagree. The asian brown cloud needs to be addressed first and foremost. More dioxins etc. coming out of dung fires than out of hazardous-waste incinerators. Problem is, if we curb reproduction in asia fast, in a few years the likes of peter puget will be whining 'cause the price of their slave-made goods went up. Although they produce more soot and sulfur dioxide than we do, we produce far more CO2, which is the primary greenhouse gas. Dioxin does not come from dung fires. Hospital incinerators, toxic waste incinerators and pulp mills are the largest sources.
  8. "White House officials told the Washington Post they didn't know the "trophy" turkey would be there, nor that Mr Bush would pick it up." He went right past the real ones to the fake. Figures.
  9. No you don't want to crunch into one of those trichinella cysts. You want them to be tender.
  10. The sun is shinning up a pole?
  11. I have this book. It is a good read. Adrift, by Steve Callahan
  12. The Vatican Rag First you get down on your knees, Fiddle with your rosaries, Bow your head with great respect, And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect! Do whatever steps you want, if You have cleared them with the Pontiff. Everybody say his own Kyrie eleison, Doin' the Vatican Rag. Get in line in that processional, Step into that small confessional, There’s, the guy who's got religional Tell you if your sin's original. If it is, try playin' it safer, Drink the wine and chew the wafer, Two, four, six, eight, Time to transubstantiate! So get down upon your knees, Fiddle with your rosaries, Bow your head with great respect, And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect! Make a cross on your abdomen, When in Rome do like a Roman, Ave Maria, Gee it's good to see ya, Gettin' ecstatic an' Sort of dramatic an' Doin' the Vatican Rag!
  13. CONCISE! One word sentences. Eliminate.
  14. I'd have a second yellow zone on the "overcammed" part of the lobes. Yellow instead of red, because overcamming is not dangerous, just expensive. So the pattern would go yellow-green-yellow-red from smallest radius to largest radius.

    StuPiD LaWS

    "Waldron Island: --No structure shall contain more than two toilets that use potable water for flushing. -San Juan County Ordinance NO. 7 -1995 (Passed June 7,1995) " This might not be so StuPiD. Fresh water is scarce in the islands. Some of the smaller islands have to bring in water by ferry. I'm sure BillyGoat knows more than I do.
  16. What are the two doctors discussing, a cam-ectomy?

    Got Parasite?

    Dairy isn't very good for you anyway. Adults aren't meant to drink milk. I could easily live without it. There are all sorts of yummy sherbets to take the place of ice cream.
  18. You took the words right out of my mouth.
  19. When I was in junior high I read just about all of HP Lovecrafts books. I think my mother tossed them all out when I moved out. I've never been drawn to that genre since. It was very dark and foreboding stuff. Doom was always waiting for us all. A host of unspeakably evil beings was trapped on the other side waiting for someone to let them into our world. I believe one of HPL's stories was made into a movie- The Shuttered Room. As I remember it there was no Cthulu in the movie. The monster was of a more ordinary sort.
  20. Trask has always been invisible on the Who's Online screen, but he's not a lurker because he posts. You can pretty much assume that if he's at home, which he pretty much always is, that he's logged in.
  21. Slip on some Yaktrax over your rock shoes. I have a friend who says these work over tennies.

    Got Parasite?

    It must be that most male climbers are infected.
  23. What you are really saying is that Jon and Timmy should make it so that no one can hide their identity. That is, remove the option "Do you want to be visible on the 'Who's Online' screen? " I see your point.
  24. Thank you for pointing that out.
  25. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
