  1. Then withdraw?
  2. I try to shortcut all that shit by just asking during the interview, "So, do you prosecute?"
  3. If you knew archenemy, you wouldn't even have to ask...
  4. I need a maid.
  5. You'll have to. I took the seat off.
  6. The combination of this belief and your changed idea of fortune (considering yourself "lucky" that you have these metal chopsticks in you rather than being in a metal chair) is an incredible gift.
  7. Yes. Yes I do. tell me trampolines aren't fun. Come on, put the "tramp" in trampoline!
  8. let's go ride bikes.
  9. compromise or continue
  10. Good thinking. How many are we up to?

    Chomsky!

    Can apes talk?
  12. Please reconcile these: Productivy gains have been enormous over the last decade according to govt stats. In that same time period, real wages have been flat to down, while CFO and CEO salaries have roughly tripled. BTW, I don't think you can eliminate povery by just paying everyone wages that are above the poverty threshold. That is not my assertion. But I also don't believe that you automatically hamstring a business by requiring minimum wage. Further, I assert that when your employees are not having to work two jobs to make ends meet and not stressing the fuck out because they can't take a sick child to the doctor, you will increase productivity of those employees and to some degree offset the higher wage. I don't believe that it is moral, ethical, or christian nor a benefit to shareholders to pay corporate execs wildly bloated salary packages while the rank and file employee can't heat their home or feed their kids. You deem it socialist, I call it human compassion. I leave you with two thoughts: 1. As of 2005, if the minimum wage had risen as fast as CEO pay since 1990, the lowest paid workers in the US would be earning $23.03 an hour today, not $5.15 an hour. 2. In 1965 the CEO:Worker pay ratio was 24:1. Today it is over 430:1. In Japan today it is 55:1. And before you claim "they are worth it" take a look at Treas. Sec Snow's tenure as CEO of CSX Rail, or Ken Lay, Kozlowski, etc, etc. Here, here!!
  13. to the bed
  14. Especially when I drop kick them. They seem to really hate me after that.
  15. But vertical, you couldn't hang all four coats up. Come on, have some imagination! The coats would just be all overlapping like. Have some common sense, do you see how small those hooks are? Maybe you have tiny, mincy cute jackets.
  16. But vertical, you couldn't hang all four coats up.
  17. on or off
  18. This is spray, so here is goes: I think people have lost a great deal by dismissing "old farts" out of the fabric of society. This dismissal has perhaps been hastened by our society's love affair with youth or our marketing focus toward kids or whatever--I don't know, but it seems a bit sad. I applaud AARP qualified individuals who are standing up and making themselves seen again!
  19. Penny wise, pound foolish?
  20. I could help you out, but I hate cats.
