Why yes. Yes it does. Well, much as I've enjoyed seeing Fairweather skewer himself on his own speculation, I feel it's only right to slide the shiv in one final time, with feeling. Want to know what I do/did, FW? OK: my gig was as a Chief Technology Officer of an internet software company. I'm now financially independent. As in "do whatever the fuck I want when I want". As in "no debt other than a mortgage for home and rental property". As in, kayaking across the Caribbean, climbing every decent weather day, and spraying with fine fellows such as yourself. Have fun at work on Monday, little man. Keep that work ethic up, brown nose when required, and someday, just maybe, you can spend as much time climbing (wait...you'd have to learn how first) and skiing (oops again!), and spraying as you want to. Would you excuse me? I feel a martini coming on.

Did I just catch a regular on this forum spraying about his superior productivity? I could never make this stuff up myself.

Ditto. No need to ever take them off in any conditions. The shaft plunges fine in softer stuff with the griprest. Don't know what modification you're talking about, but I've got an older pair.

The first petroglyph depicting a person skiing, found in Scandanavia, dates back 8000 years.

I have no idea what emotion that is supposed to convey.

Pepsi distributor. FW is a Pepsi distributor. Basically, a sugar pusher for fat kids. I don't make people look like bafoons. I just roll out the red carpet.

"You got 'em, boss!"

You find that homo-erotic? I thought we were just hangin' out. Buh bye.

Um...it's 'buffoon'.

Goddamnit, Fairweather, you had no right to post that photo of us.

I've got fresh photos up on Flickr.

At least he can ski. And climb.

Florida needs Pepsi distributors. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Stalking stuffer.

The War on Drugs! How could I have forgotten to mention it? Oh, wait, that was Nixon, but Reagan really took the ball and ran with it! The Great Communicator didn't have enough time to win it, but he would have, had he had more time. Sippin' on a Rainier pounder, watching the Iran Contra hearings. Ollie North, standin' up for what he believed in, standin' up for America! Good times. Good times. It's taken a long, long time for this country to appreciate just how awesome Reagan was. The man was a GIANT. Even when his approval rating was somewhere between "in the toilet" and "in the holding pond", I always knew that somehow, someday, history would see him for the truly great man he was. Who could have predicted that a cocky little kid named George W. would come along and make it happen!

But, but, Reagan won the Cold War single handedly. Don't you remember how he forced the Soviets into spending themselves to death, like Japanese fighting fish when you dump the whole container of fish food in the tank and they can't stop eating until they explode? Or something like that. I dont' exactly remember how, but I know he definitely won the Cold War. It's common knowledge.

You know, I don't know where this anti-Mexican sentiment comes from. What did they ever do to us except cook up some really good grub and build everything around us? Besides, Texas is a known quantity every election. They know they're a bowl full of assholes, we know they're a bowl full of assholes. It doesn't feel the need to draw attention to itself like "undecided" Florida, which, at election time, is like watching an utterly confused tourist amble back and forth in the crosswalk while you wait through light change after light change. Eventually, you wish that semi idling next to you would just throw 'er into first and roll over the fucker with all 9 wheels, hit the compression brakes for some decent smear effect, slam it into into reverse, and repeat. And Texas redeems itself somewhat with Austin. But Florida? What's worth saving...Orlando?

Can you post that picture of me on the summit of Storm King for the 16th time for me? It just gets funnier with every repetition. Oh wait, I forgot. You've got me on ignore. Sorry, I think you mean Fairweather... They're apparently interchangeable. Although not the originator (actually, FW, in his signature stalking style, took the trouble to sort through quite a few of my Flickr photos to find it), I believe KKK has posted it more times. Hard to keep track, though, after so much repetition. In their world, repetition (WMD, WMD, WMD....) is mother's milk. Oh well, humor (unless limited to the stale variety) isn't exactly their strong point.

Oh dear, gentle reader, what harsh talk you bring into the Cafe! Perhaps you could avail yourself of the services of a reputable driving school and listen intently during each session.

"In 1990, a stronger Washington State crosswalk law changed motorists' obligation to pedestrians who are attempting to cross at legal crosswalk sites. Previously, the law required motorists to yield to pedestrians. The new law requires motorists to stop for pedestrians attempting to cross at a crosswalk. " so if you see a ped at a cross walk and don't stop you are not only an asshole but breaking the law. If, however, the ped is a murdering scum terrorist, you may torture them while stopped.

So do I. But every third time or so, I punch it and run them over.

Election time is coming up, and many folks are looking for ways to channel the hate. This election, why not hate a whole state? The funny thing is how quickly most folks come up with the same candidate. This drooping dick of mud and palmetto bugs never fails to become a bougainvellia festooned dildo up our collective political asses every four years. It is a land whose population has gone from this: to this: Look at the perpetually undecided mug on that cranky old bat. It should be on the state seal. It’s a look that says “My house is somewhere in Mississippi because my Fat Fuck Cuban contractor built it 2 inches above sea level on a lot that has seen more hurricanes than Trader Vic’s, and I blame YOU.” So this year, let’s finally do something about Florida. Let’s sell it. Disneyworld. Fat Fuck Cuban contractors. Sinking doublewides. Hanging chads. The whole whiny fucking mess. On Craigslist. For cheap. To anyone. Adios, Pelos Azules. Via con fucking Dios.

gas is taxing, no doubt.
