Everyone who thinks layton is crazy for leaving, raise your mossy wet hand.

Hey Mike, what's the matter? Get tired of bushwacking through devil's club in the rain? . How the heck have I run into Colin in the bc but not you? Go figure. Watch out for those Mormon girls.

So do you dislike the title Dr, as used by non-medical types, on general principals or only when they insist that you use that title while speaking to them. I'd say 99.999% of them never use it, except on stationery or in official correspondence (because it does tend to get more notice...go figure). However, having a PhD and using the title Dr is technically correct.

You know what I hate? Those situations where somebody does something that really torques your panties. Like saying 'colour' when they mean 'color'. See? Get's to you, too, doesn't it? But that's not what really bothers me. What really bothers me is when people change their mind, right in the middle of talking to you. And what really really bothers me, is getting your undies torqued, saying 'Please, sir, may I have another?', and then going home and posting a really really righteous screed on the Internet about the wanker that just torqued your undies. Except, the screed really isn't righteous and you just used the word 'wanker' instead of that all-American term: asshat.

If it stresses out some very powerful athletes, don't you reckon he ought to ramp up to using 24kg/side instead of going for it on day one? Actually curious, not being snarky.

Staying at home with the house frau. Not doing any Black Friday shopping either! (I guess I'm not a True Patriot ). Oh...and NO turkey! Pizzagiving!!!! Yay!

It's kind of funny, actually, since a lot of progressives also seem to end up having libertarian tendencies (except it seems when it comes to personal ownership of firearms or letting their kids think for themselves) and a lot of conservatives also tend to be rather libertarian but still believe in social programs and taxes for basic infrastructure needs rather than user fees. If the libertarian party actually got it's head out of it's ass and figured this out, ditched some of the scarier parts of their platform, they'd probably be taken seriously enough to break the stranglehold that the other two have on American politics. Well, that won't happen. I give him a lot of respect, though, for speaking his mind about what he thinks instead of qualifying every statement so that he's basically saying nothing and supporting/offending nobody.

Because that would have been anti-passive-aggressive. He'd have to leave Seattle.

the guys at the range don't bother me. it's the freaks in the forests with automatic weapons that do.

If there's a screw up at work, just spank the secretary, that's what they're for, right?

Of course, the fact that a 900cc motorcycle is now considered 'mid-sized' by some, well, that doesn't help either.

I wish that I'd seen this before today. I had an interview at the physics/astro department at UW on Wednesday and it would have been...interesting...to ask them about it. I'm curious as to what it is about this mathematical construct that makes it less ad hoc than, say, string theory.

Met Colin earlier this year. The boy seriously yanked my chain. Comes out of the forest below Stuart. Just standing there minding my own business and he comes up and says "Excuse me, can I see your permit?" Took me a few to realize I'd been pwned. I figure I'm good for the year.

Not mine but interesting. Love the G2 setup but spent too much money lately and won't be in J-tree anyway. greg epperson 'yard' sale

Let Fred Do It. He'll go down and steal all Hugh's wimmins.

This ought to keep you busy. I know it's a little advanced for some of you but keep at it. Nothing worth doing is easy. -2ZkJd4u0Us

I'll agree that Clinton/Gore didn't have a great environmental track record, but that's beside the point I was trying to make that they couldn't have done much anyway, particularly with regard to the KP, given that for most of their time in office that had to deal with an openly hostile Congress. Now, if all you want to do is to play the angry histrionics card, well, have fun. Maybe kevbone wants to play.

he had 2 years with a Dem-controlled congress - what did he "accomplish" with them? considering that the Kyoto Accords came out in 1997 and the Republicans took control of Congress in 1995-1997, i'm not sure of the point you're trying to make, but it can't be a good one.

As I recall, Clinton didn't bother submitting the treaty for ratification to a Republican controlled Congress because they were basically telling him 'We won't ratify this'. So now it's his fault for picking battles he could win instead of ones he couldn't? Gotta love the logic in that.

Look! A chicken!

I wish I had known him. Go in peace, friend. Climb high.

Gee, one couldn't have predicted that..... Makes you realize self-proclaimed pundits often surround themselves with people who think just like them.
