  1. I'm flattered that you follow me around and make stuff up just to get my attention. Reminds me of a Mexican club doorman who talks trash because passerby'rs wouldn't notice him otherwise. Speaking of being followed around, glad you enjoyed the TRs WRAWK!!!
  2. One way forward is to get the right dog, feed HIM the chicken paste, and suffer the squirrels to come onto your Weber....
  3. My GF and I grilled up some ribeyes with fresh baked french bread and garlic mashed potatoes the other night. Bought the proper carbon credits prior to the evening of course, so we were GOOD TO GO. Now it's back to plumbed chicken paste for the rest of the week. SAVING THE PLANET IS NO FUCKIN PICNIC...but it just might be a weenie roast...just as long as you don't do your own roasting.
  4. Even if they can't always stand up for their rights without assistance.
  5. The obese of this country have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
  6. If stores like Target would simply retrofit with livestock gating technology they wouldn't have this problem. It's time for the gigantic to push for the same rights and consideration we gave the disabled in 1990.
  7. I've watched about 5 episodes of Fasc News now. I'm already feel qualified to become a writer for the show.
  8. That, and 'Class Warfare', right? LOL. Somebody's got a bad case of FOXmouth.
  9. Do anything else and our planet is doomed.
  10. Cook up a super tanker of corn/offal slurry in Nebraska and pipe it into every home. It's the ONLY way forward.
  11. PM me for a detailed analysis, with citations, on the above claims.
  12. There very act of looking up at the squirrel and salivating consumes more energy than is contained in Washington's entire rodent population. Side of acorns? Don't squander your kid's college education fund! The only way not to violate the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is to be tube fed chicken paste from Costco's Quik Serve Family Pack.
  13. Forbidden Planet, bitchez. Nielsen was the original horndog spaceship captain.
  14. The greys at Greenlake are particularly fattened up this year for the holidays. Roast 3 or 4 of them along with a couple of mallards slathered in a cyanescens and and muscaria mushroom sauce and you've got yourself a feast to remember, or not, courtesy of the Seattle Parks Dept.
  15. Zqulu!
  16. A swiss cheese memory serving a Velvetta brain.
  17. Actually, they are saving it. Personal example and action, in addition to just being a more satisfying way to live, are everything. It all adds up eventually if a few people start giving a fuck. The conservative rhetoric argument to trust someone else to do the change because the individual doesn't matter is as bankrupt at the rest of its big corporate cock-in-mouth propanda. The American suburban convenience fetish - that someone else should always do the heavy lifting - is as boring and unsatisfying as fuck. It has produced a nation of people who don't know how to actually do anything creative, useful, or interesting.
  18. I'd gladly trade up to that car.
  19. And, no, it doesn't really matter how each of us lives his or her life in the aggregate. No, none of it really matters at all.
  20. Gardening = Narcissism. Wutev, Jay!
  21. We (my wife) grow stuff in the yard too - but when you factor in the cost of hauling topsoil to the yard, irrigating with water piped in through a municipal treatment and distribution network, the trips to buy seeds, etc, etc, the process is a gajilliion times more expensive and resource-intensive than the production processes used by even the word's worst production-farmer. Organic or otherwise. Were it otherwise, there'd be no commercial farms. Hell - when we were living in the middle of nowhere in NZ at virtually every meal we were eating produce grown in our backyard, out of a garden that was fertilized by the innards and other non-filet worthy bits of the large wild-trout I was catching...out of gin clear spring-fed water that had been percolating through volcanic layers that had purified it to optical perfection, on single-barbles hooks via flies that I'd tied with my own hands. Locavore perfection. Of course - our plane tickets alone cost a fortune, we burned enough fuel to fuel an African village for years just getting there, I was driving at least 50 miles round-trip to get to the said trout, and I probably spent at least $300 dollars on tying supplies alone - so the entire enterprise behind every "locavore" meal was really a shameless orgy of unnecessary consumption motivated by nothing other than our desire to enjoy life as much as possible before we go to our entropic rewards. All of the dispassionate analysis out there confirms the same for the entire "locavore" phenomenon. Eat local and/or grow your own stuff if that makes you happy. That should be enough. UM...you just don't know how to garden. Make your own compost. Employ low water use techniques. Mail order your seeds. Your objections are based on your shitty practices. NOT HARD. Small family plots have consistently been proven to be the most cost effective environmentally sustainable way, in terms of the inputs required, to produce vegetables. With environmentally unsustainable practices - the factory farming the JayB loves so much, the cost of irreparable topsoil loss, soil/waterway/ocean pollution, health risks, and permanent fossil aquifer depletion will be either a) paid for by future generations or b) paid for by the public sector in subsidies, health services, and environmental mitigation. As with so many conservative darling causes, it's not cheaper - it's just that someone else picks up the tab. This is a form of lying...no surprise there.
  22. It's called living.
  23. What is it about the grossly skewed concentration of wealth that our 40 year march to modern conservatism has given us - one that has immeasurably destabilized our culture and threatened the security of everyone that conservitards don't understand? To interpret a desire to correct this obvious dysfunctional and dangerous state as being anti-business, anti reward-for-effort or anti-work ethic is frankly sociopathic. It's spokespeople here also seem to share a characteristic delight in human misery and/or punishment - torture, war, execution, draconian criminal punishment, denial of even menial social benefits - but never anything on the human kindness end of things. Like their media darlings, these cyberpundits create strawmen, the liar's friend, as targets for this emotional self-stroking. And this is the problem with the Teabaggers - their philosophical foundation is sociopathy. This shouldn't come as a surprise, given that their primary funder is a sociopath - as are their media darlings Sarah Palin and Christine O'Donnell, by all indications. half the FOX team probably fall into this category.
  24. Hoooooooo-gan!!!
  25. "I'm Pro Torture, Pro Dignity, and I Vote...for Bob Barr."
