An englishman, scotsman and an irish man are drinking at a bar. A fly lands on the english man's drink. He says "bartender, I need a fresh beer, a fly landed on this one". The fly touches the scotsman's glass, he waves it away and finishes the drink. the fly goes to the irish man's drink. The irish guy grabs the fly by both wings, gets up in his face and says "spit it out motherfucker"

The sad part is people whose votes are influenced by how "celebrity" a candidate is or was. I bet that Reagan pulled some votes based on his acting career. Bill appealed to younger voters because he played the sax. What cracks me up, was all the hype about how Fred Thompson was supposed be be a big contender even before he declared he was running. His failure was some assurance that you can't win on charm alone.

Now i'm bummed that i only went down there once last season. Hey Stone Gardens, Will the drytool wall be a seasonal gig? Or was it the concensus of the members that it was not an effective use of space?

Kinda like our Army. Blindly going forward without regard for the conditions or whatever is in the way.

Hilary already leads with her penis.

I actually know this seller. He has been trying to sell it since Feb.

I stand corrected; "Japan is first with $586 billion, followed by China ($400 billion) and Britain ($244 billion). Saudi Arabia and other oil-exporting countries account for $123 billion, according to the Treasury." http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2007-12-03-debt_N.htm

This is a company we should support. I don't know if the cotton is organic, but the models are.

That's the pot calling the kettle black. Guantonamo, waterboarding, we have more than our share of dirt.

In my experience, Lowa boots are pretty wide.

The trade is debt. For all that we import from China, we borrow from them. China and Saudi Arabia hold most of our National Debt.

I hate to break it to you, but not everything Patagonia makes is made in the USA. My R1 jacket that I'm wearing now is made in the USA, but my Jetstream jacket is made in Vietnam.

The US has mostly a service economy, not a manufacturing economy. In order to stay competitive and have continuous improvements/growth companies chose to outsource or face declining sales. Price is a factor in a consumer's decision to buy. Those willing to pay extra for something made in the US are a minority and can't off set the loss of sales from price sensitive customers. Nike doesn't make a single pair of shoes and hasn't for decades. Their core competency isn't manufacturing, it's marketing. The selling of an "image", that's another topic.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/03/12/woman.stuck.on.toilet.ap/index.html WICHITA, Kansas (AP) -- Deputies say a woman in western Kansas became stuck on her boyfriend's toilet after sitting on it for two years. Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital. "We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it." Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend. "She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," Whipple said. "It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself." He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom. "And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,"' Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom." The boyfriend called police on February 27 to report that "there was something wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call. Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to her mid-thigh. She was "somewhat disoriented," and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said. "She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave," he said. She was taken to a hospital in Wichita, about 150 miles southeast of Ness City. Whipple said she has refused to cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators. Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.

I agree, we offer no second chances here. One could argue that if he isn't honest with his wife, then he won't be honest with the people he serves, but he is a polition so it's a moot point.

Alpine is so Core

You can still rappel off a figure 8, you can't with this new ATC sport.

If you use one of these, then you are a boulderer posing as a sport climber.

I would consider it alpine climbing. I think the determination of alpine vs. crag boils down to the roman numeral grade, the level of commitment required.

What is the best backpack to use?

Have you seen how hard a Boga sends? They scale vert like none other. Tauntauns are not inclined for vertical travel, just the approach. Therefore a tauntaun, if used for an approach, is no different than taking a snowmobile.

What we need is another committee! Committees fix everything.
