foraker

for you yobs who've never been out of the country, let alone out of the county, not everyone uses the decimal point in the same way (if you'd ever been to europe, you'd know that). that's 49.441 km thus, he did about 30.7 miles in one hour.

Seriously, they shouldn't have had any trouble beating Bush and yet they put up Kerry as a candidate. I knew they'd lost then.

If we had "Slick Willy", can we have "K-Y Karl"???

given the price, I think you ought to define "bargain" in this context....or is that sarcasm? the only person i've seen wearing these is some boulderer at the gym

PP, you're a hoot. What a case of selective myopia. You manage to find all the trespasses of the left (which I'll admit exist, even though I don't agree with all of your 'examples') yet you are consistently blind to, or fail to comment on (which is worse) the trespasses of the right. You might have more street cred if you were truly 'fair and balanced'. Stop watching so much television. It'll rot your brain.

Sounds like you were shagging a bear. But, then, it is Alaska after all....

probably that whole 'thou shalt not kill' thing....

selkirk has it right. if a girl plays 'hard to get' for example, i can guarantee you that 90+% of guys will think 'gee, she doesn't seem to like me all that much' and move on. we're not going to go home and spend 3 hours on the phone with our buddies 'analyzing' your signals. another 5% will be such raving ego maniacs they'll be thinking 'she just doesn't realize i'm god's gift to women yet'. the other 5% are gay and of course they picked up on your signals.

i may be wrong, but i believe the last one is a female blue-breasted mattressthrasher....

so, if you don't return courtesy (e.g. holding doors/chairs) with courtesy (sidewalk eitquette), what kind of world do you expect?

by the same token, i wouldn't mind a little space on the sidewalk so that i didn't have to step out into the street in front of that hurtling semi just so you and your girlfriends don't have to stop talking about shoes for 2 seconds.

This always reminds me of something that happend to me in grad school. I was walking over to the student union one day and, as I was approaching the door, I heard someone walking behind me. Being 'trained' by my parents to open doors for whomever, I did so. Turned out it was a girl and she categorically refused to go through. I suppose she thought I was 'oppressing' her or something because I'm part of the white male eurocentric patriarchy.... Which brings to mind the observation that people here rarely say 'thank you' for simple acts of kindness. I guess that makes me a fossil.

And 'pooch' is the Canadian code word for what these days? Dru?

surely it's worthy of the more coveted Zorro Snap!

is it a bad first date if you got asked out by the hottest girl in your dorm just before she was set to graduate?

thinking of taking Th and Fr off next week (no, not thorium and francium, Dru) and head up to Squamish (rain gods permitting) for 3-4 days. thinking 5.8-10a ish

look at it this way, at least you got the from some freakin' hottie. it's always nice to get that. now, if some of them would either a) learn to read or b) learn to keep their mouth's shut.

I'd say something here about having to wait for other people to tell you what to think, but Dru hasn't posted yet.

Predicating an argument by "If you think Bush is bad..." isn't saying he isn't, it's a passive way of admitting he's a major fuckup and a means to try to divert your attention away from that fact. Translated, for example, "Bush is a major fuckup but how about that Hitler guy,eh? Things could be a lot worse"

why don't you go ask greg_w how to verbally abuse someone? he's much better at it than you. at least he has the brains for it.

that's the best you can do? come on, son, put some effort into it.

since that's a dumb comparison, shouldn't that be: right wing media: 6.5 'liberal' media: 17.3 or were you trying to make a 'clever' point?
