    Badass!

    That's the truck of the head of Bush's Winning Hearts and Minds Campaign.
  2. we should direct the streams of spray from this site at the streams of anti-spray from ascensionist.com and let them annihilate each other, thus creating a self-sustaining, limitless supply of .... well .... something.
  3. Never underestimate the the ability of rank and file party members to spin results in a way that maximally validates their worldview. The nice thing about being an indepedent is it allows me to laugh at both the hippies and the robber barons.
  4. Had a chance to use the Fogtech anti-fogging solution over the last week. Basically, I wear glasses and any time I walk into a building from outside during the winter everything fogs over. I was skiing last week where the temps were -10 to -15 C every day and used this stuff on my glasses (but not on my goggles). Never had one fogging problem (except when I did a crappy job applying it one day). They even did an admirable job staying fog free when I was sitting in a steaming outdoor hot tub.
  5. I got the same thing and think it's somewhat poorly worded. First, if, like me, you have their cable internet service, you *are* always on the Internet since you are connected through a cable modem. It's not like you have to dial up a connection... I think what they are concerned about is that you reboot your computer during this time, or turn off your cable modem. I mean to call them today and clarify but forgot.
  6. Sounds too much like "rat killer" to me....
  7. I like the quote from the Republican party spokesman saying 'we want every vote counted'.

    I'm Gonzo

    One of the funniest damn things I ever saw on TV was the Muppet Show episode where Beaker and Professor Honeydew were showing off their latest invention, 'nonflammable paper'....which, once the conflagration got going, they put out with 'inflammable water'...conveniently stored in the fire extinguisher.

    A First Banning

    I've looked at a.com, hoping to find something of value there, something of interest. Most of the content seems to be spent bitching about people from cc.com. It's fine with me if people want to bitch about people from this site, though it strikes me as peurile and, well, feminine, you'll have a much better site once you can (if you can) steer your participants attention towards climbing related things rather than ego venting. Just my 2 cents

    Incredibles?

    This movie rocks. I loved the scene where the son realized he could run on water

    poll

    Well, all of the choices seem to involve sacrificing your dignity and self-esteem, so I'd say "D) all of the above"

    Is she worth it or are you one of those types who dislikes being alone?

    Name My Dog

    i knew this girl once who named her cat 'little baby colostomy bag'. i don't know about the cat, but the girl was a bit off. that's what she got for having a weird last name: Schmertz (anglicization of the german world for 'pain')
  15. it's easier to label people than it is to come up with cogent arguments, supportive data, and an alternative plan. that's why there's so much screaming in politics. it plays to the lowest common denominator.
  16. someone needs a serious ego enema....
  17. TLG, your PM mailbox is full
  18. no, why? is yours? i'm supposed to live like a poor grad slave all my life when i no longer have to?
  19. let's go beat him up and take his lift pass.
  20. ok, i've tried asking elsewhere and avoided asking here but having no luck elsewhere i'll risk it. my wife and i are planning on going to whistler for a week in january. probably start around jan 9. wouldn't mind meeting up with another couple who wants to share the expense but we'll go anyway. c'mon. you know you want to.
  21. Right now, I hate my friend who is holed up in Tahoe til the end of January while he waits for his new job to begin.

    Aloha, Mr Hand

    All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

    What

    Yeah? Well, who buys your clothes? And who does your hair?
  24. my thought: if you are lying around contemplating questions like this, you are not ready to be married, and possibly might never be. go sow those oats and plow those fields for a bit.
  25. i envy your rich and varied fantasy life. ;-)
