You and Mike have got to stop seeing each other like this This is TOO much! homophobe

the lengths we go to get mad cool scars. Bad ass Mofo!

When I was a kid, the neighbors had a quince bush, but never did anything with the fruit. We found the fruit made fine hand-grenades when a firecracker was pushed into them. Hold the armed quince in your hand with your arm cocked in throwing position, torchman lights cracker, and throw that sucker at the enemy! It all worked great until one blew-up mid-throw: the whole side of my head was a sticky quince mess.

It's whacked how we live in this environment of info at our fingertips and, yet, we are unaware (including the film critic quoted above) of the pervasive and damaging cultural myths (lies) that hold mankind on this small planet in prisons barred with ignorance-induced hatred.

Yep. Had kumys and (I forget the name) horse intestine stuffed with spiced fat; but, that was in Kyrgyzstan. The spiced fat was delicious, but the horse intestine was like chewing on one of those large rubber bands that bind broccoli together in the grocery store. I've had worse out of American refrigerators.

When in Uzbekistan (bordering Kazakhstan on the SW), a native Uzbek told me he was brought-up to believe Jews were sub-human and hatched from eggs. He said it is very common that when parents want to scare their children, they tell them, if they are bad, they will be eaten by Jews. He said there is a common cultural folk song telling of a hideous Jew monster that stalks children to eat them.

Sorry, but i could imagine your mother stripping for me. My mother's an actress; you can see her as Johnny Depp's mother in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"?

cool. Now, if you'll only admit I can run faster and farther than yourself, I'll let you know where AlpineK hides the spare key to the moderators' righteous party pad.

moderators, please move this to the Ice Climbing Forum.

I like the new Main Index page with highlights of forums with unread posts.

what a wimp. I get that everyday

without language, how would we think? I would argue that, for certain proseaholics, a bit more effort expended interpreting and a lot less effort wasted on constructing weighty monuments of self aggrandizement that too often fall wide of the mark would result in clearer thinking and a readership greater than one. Reading the posts of late, I believe you're more deserving of this criticism than anyone. In that, I find not a few of your posts open to manifold interpretations which, when this occurs (and almost without exception), you ascribe to shortcomings in everyone but yourself. By comparison, I find the writing of the one you disparage to be cogent and clear leaving little room for misinterpretation. But, I'm not wanting to dissuade you from polysyllabic nuance-notioned writing; I enjoy it. It's another facet of the art of communication necessary to convey ideas and a wonderful aspect of humanity.

without language, how would we think?

...while Republican politicians were holding their asses

You're not pro pro's at prose?

so now we're handicapping mandates?

Finally got around to watching Trainspotting last night. Some great lines, funny and somber.

Isn't that the ingredient in turkey that makes one sleepy after ingestion?
