Just switch to Quicken Loan

Riders on the Storm Last Saturday night, played a fuckin' riotous rendition of "Break on Through (To the Other Side). It kicked for over fifteen minutes. People started throwin' themselves at each other... a fuckin' madhouse. A super-fun time.

God, what a beautiful day, today. Mid-70's. Light breezes, Fall colors. Snow-capped peaks. I took a drive over the pass to New Mexico and back just to exalt in it.

I can dig that. For the last twenty-five years I've had more than 1/4 mile distance to my nearest neighbor. Human neighbor, that is.

and your thoughts are allayed?

As a child, I was a towhead.

Just chalk it up to the cost of livin'.

I open beer bottles with her teeth.

"bettyc588" is now the proud owner of the document for a mere $2,100,100.00. The starting price was $100.00.

He hadn't talked recently to Kevbone, by chance?

The letter currently has a high bid of $851k.

Yes, we do. There is an inexhaustible quantity of BS that you are willing to put forth; you are more interested in the perception that you prevail in an argument than in accuracy.

From: http://www.canada.com/topics/news/story.html?id=50e42b47-ca21-47c1-bbb1-caf456348677&k=21371 Judge Michael Burton... did order the government to rewrite its guidelines to highlight the movie's falsehoods. These were identified in court as follows: Gore's claim: A retreating glacier on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is evidence of global warming. Finding: The government's expert witness conceded this was not correct. Gore: Ice core samples prove that rising levels of carbon dioxide have caused temperature increases. Finding: Rises in carbon dioxide actually lagged behind temperature increases by 800-2000 years. Gore: Global warming triggered Hurricane Katrina, devastating New Orleans. Finding: The government's expert accepted it was "not possible" to attribute one-off events to global warming. Gore: Global warming is causing Africa's Lake Chad to dry up. Finding: The government's expert accepted that this was not the case. Gore: Polar bears had drowned due to disappearing Arctic ice. Finding: Only four polar bears drowned, due to a particularly violent storm. Gore: Global warming could stop the Gulf Stream, plunging Europe into a new ice age. Finding: A scientific impossibility. Gore: Species losses, including coral reef bleaching, are the result of global warming. Finding: No evidence to support the claim. Gore: Melting ice in Greenland could cause sea levels to rise dangerously. Finding: Greenland ice will not melt for millennia. Gore: Ice cover in Antarctica is melting. Finding: It is, in fact, increasing. Gore: Sea levels could rise by seven metres, causing the displacement of millions of people. Finding: Sea levels are expected to rise by about 40 centimetres over 100 years. Gore: Rising sea levels caused the evacuation of Pacific islanders to New Zealand. Finding: The court observed that this appears to be a false claim.

I cut off the end of my thumb thirteen years ago and it promptly became infected with staph. It hurt so fuckin' bad (in spite of taking 1400mg of ibuprofen every four hours) that, before getting to a hospital, I nearly purposely cut more of it off with a miter saw just to get rid of the painful stump end.

Me, I have no problem whatsoever say it was an inevitable consequence of U.S. meddling in Iranian affairs. I was around countless brown-bag, anti-Shah demonstrations and knew more than a few highly disaffected Iranians in the movement to overthrow the Shah. And most all of these folks had no shortage of personal stories to recount relative to the savage level of violence employed by the Shah's security forces. The bottom line in Iran was we attempted to play them, and the entire region, like they were just another country in Latin America where the real roots of U.S. foreign policy lie. In fact, the last hundred years of Mid-East policy has basically been a continous disaster because we keep trying to manage and manipulate cultures and tribes in the Mid-East like they are in Central America. The essential problem however, is there are no Latin suicide bombers - Latin cultures are nothing like Mid-Eastern cultures and you simply can't operate with the same mindset in Sana'a as you do in Santiago and expect the same results. And that's basically what we've been doing again and again in the Mid-East. The Iran-Contra Affair was the recent pinnacle of this disfunctional thinking. You'd think we'd learn eventually - U.S. Mid-East policy and 'diplomacy' has been like the longest running sitcom ever for the amusement of generations of British diplomats. Hell, even our Latin neighbors are finally "getting" it, even if it took them a 100 years. Chavez, Saddam, the Shah, and Ahmadinejad were/are very much creations of a U.S. foreign policy that has been stuck in a revolving, time-warped turnstile still steam-driven by Rockefeller-era corporate sensibilities. Each decade we reap a hard bite on the ass from seeds sewn in many previous decades and yet each time we cry anew, "It's a outrage! How could this evil be happening to us!" Even more miraculously, a mirror is never at hand when we we attempt to clearly point out where the true evil lies, which is generally at our feet - we need merely look where we're aiming our gun. So, clueless as ever, the beat goes on - and everywhere in Africa and South America, that beat is backing lyrics sung in the language everyone on those two continents is suddenly clamouring to learn - Mandarin. Is it vanity or pride that keeps the American Right steadfastly blind and unable to entertain even the remote possibility that many of the affronts to the United States aren't a reaction to our successes, but rather to our excesses?. And is it stupidity or self-loathing that keeps the American Left from realizing that reactionary cultural responses to U.S. hedgemony are only rarely cuddly and good tourist destinations? And how hard is it to realize some of the basic, common sense approaches so useful for getting along in third grade would go a long way in today's world. Good to see someone has it all figured out. But, I'm sorry to learn that self-interest, power-hunger, and greed are endemic only to those of Euro heritage. It's a pity that so many minds are limited to a narrow focus of pathological racial/cultural self-loathing.

that Pilonidal Cyst explains a lot.

Damn skiing is expensive: it costs you your soul. Zen skiing is well worth the price: it costs you your mind. ooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooouuuuuuhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm

ask about the "tap dancing discount".

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound, everybody look what's goin' down.

The mods won't be staying in the super-tricked-out-wicked-sweet cc.com RV?

Put the in the freezer and go.

Ok. but, the stage act won't be the same without me:
