That joke sucks worse than its butt.

Need I point out that the root of 'Anchorage' is 'ho rage'?

Not to piss on your rainbow, but I wager your quick gloss job would/will tarnish to a different patina if/when you stand before a jury with the qualifier of "in most cases". You may find the occurrence of two exceptions to your life pursuits, simultaneously: praying your ass off that this group doesn't find you a "special case". I am special. But, then again, we all are. Yeah, baby! I just picked up a new "crippled Red Herring" DC lure (9 inches) from B&J's Fishing Supply, and it landed me a lunker on the first cast!

Although, from the looks of the population, one might have to be drunk to take much more of Anchorage. Anchorage: A strip mall with parking for 300,000.

Moi? Gave the devil's dew up, lad. Now I climb like a shite streak with no ready excuses.

AK AK AK AK AK AK AK AK AK Still there.

how many people on this site cry to other posters about people crying to moderators daily? You can go all around the world Trying to find something to do with your life, baby, When you only gotta do one thing well, You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world, babe. You got a moderator waiting for you there, All you ever gotta do is have a good cry one time to one moderator And that’ll be the end of the road, babe, I know you got more tears to share, babe, So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, And cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby. Oh honey, welcome back home.

There seems to be some confusion, at least among some here, between removal of a danger to society and punishment of a person guilty of murder. A mentally ill person who cannot control their urge to kill, or cannot even discern that they are, in fact, killing, cannot be guilty of murder, any more than a quadriplegic can run a decathlon. I didn't think I'd have to explain that one, but consider the 'diversity' of our audience here. This doesn't imply that such people should be allowed to keep killing of course, another thing that I incorrectly assumed required no clarification. Was the person in question so mentally ill? The state decided to let a jury decide that. Judging from the inconclusive outcome, it sounds like the prosecution team overeached a bit with the charges. The jury, as in most cases, probably did a pretty good job of deciding the case based on the facts and charges presented to them. They usually do; one of many reasons why the jury system has stood the test of time for so long.

Vonage application question: Ethnicity (mark one): Caucasian _ African American _ Asian American _ Remora _ Hispanic American _ Native American _ Other _

Give the Vonage guy a break. He probably just lost his job at Clinton headquarters.

I thought about sightseeing around Anchorage, but I can always walk aimlessly up and down Aurora Avenue muttering to myself back home.

I suspect your comment might have constituted another kind of overflight in this case. It conjured up that Star Trek episode where some has been Greek Gods are playing chess using Kirk and company as pieces. I'm spending a busy day recovering from a planet destroying cold in Anchorage before a brief trip back to Talkeetna to visit a friend. I can't work on my photos even: no photo shop on this machine, so it's all spray, all the time right now.

Rob, does your medical cover a vonagectomy?

I thought Bill was the Clinton who was concerned about cum dumpsters. Maybe I was mistaken. "Cum dumpsters"??? Is that how you refer to Angels of Mercy?

THAT was fuckin funny.

If ticks could talk, I wonder what they'd say prior to removal?

Every society must decide what to do with its broken machines. Arguing about guilt or innocence in cases of severe mental illness is as pointless as requiring a quadroplegic to compete in the decathlon.

Which can be abbreviated to the Texan Rebuttal: "Wah, yer jist abuncha faggits!"

You're gonna do some bleeding if you're not all better in time for Lib Ridge, bitch.

If it turns the sky yellow, let it mellow....

Had I only known how many times I would experience the Agony of Defeat when watching that flailing skier as a child....

Have you SEEN the price of La Sportivas or Assolos lately?! I was wondering if one of the more affordable brands, say Harley Davidson or Joe Rocket, might provide a less expensive alternative. Anyone?

Or, maybe because the LaFarge cement plant creates jobs and because this city needs concrete, which requires cement. We built this city on rock and roll. Really dirty manufacturing plants create even more jobs, particularly in the white collar category, when they become Superfund sites.

What better time for a prescription refill?

24 inches of rain in 8 days. This must be Alaska. I'm back in Anchorage, just back from a "kayak skiing" trip in Prince William Sound. This is a semi-new hybrid sport where you strap skis onto the deck of your kayaks so everyone will comment on how cool an idea it is. Of course, with that much rain, you never actually use your skis, but the salt water eats your metal edges away to prove you were there. Actually, we did ski to the top of Culross Island in a white out in Prince William Sound, so we are now officially practitioners of the sport(s), I suppose. Also an Only In Alaska experience: avalanche exposure while paddling. Another uniquely Alaskan issue we discovered mid-trip was the dearth of wet snow/swamp free level ground above the high tide line. We inadvertently planned our trip during the highest spring tides of the year (19 ft tidal difference), so all the normal camping beaches tended to get a little soggy between midnight and 3:00 am. It's kind of weird to look outside your tent and find that you're all of a foot above sea level...and damn glad of it.
