I don't know...I just love hearin' those bones rattle.

I used to think that, until I went (to South Africa). Absolutely one of the most spectacular experiences of my life. I don't care how many zoos you've been to, the first time you see that action out in the wild, you literally go ape shit. The rock climbing is superb, too, but keep an eye out for pythons.

The Wickwire, Messner, et al, coat of arms: I'm left.

Much 'preventative' legislation (TV violence, aneroxia, ad nauseum) is based more on kneejerk reaction of the most vocal constituents than actual data linking the object of regulation to the actual problem. In the case of anorexia, which I unfortunately know too much about because a friend is dealing with an anorexic daughter, the issue has little to do with skinny models and much to do with the personality and history of the mother and the nature, particularly the competitiveness, of the child's school environment, all juxtaposed with the child's own disposition. Removing the uber Auschwitz babes wouldn't do a thing one way or the other.

The trekking season in Nepal is coming up....

Sure bet formula for bailing on Slesse (among others): Went Left.

I loved the smaller, original Gustav's. We knew all the staff and never had anything less than a great time there...sometimes too great a time. That was before Leavanworth had the Fall Leaf Fest, Honda Gold Wing Fest, Land Speculation Fest, Bad Local Art Fest, Let's Clog Hwy 2 With Blue Hairs in 'bagos Fest, etc. I still like the new one, partly out of fielty to a wonderful period in life.

The new cc.com tagline: Got Left?

I'm the father.

Perhaps the parents and peers of anorexic, spanish teens should not be allowed to see the skinny model ads. That might hit a bit closer to at least one of the roots of the problem.

Hopefully, not very good looking Irishmen and hot latinas have superior immunity.

isn't one of the major criticisms of Bush that he doesn't alter his plans and adjust (ie iraq)??? OK, you got me there. He has great follow through on distastrous mistakes. Another example: he didn't do much after Katrina, and still hasn't done much; great follow through there, too.

If I survive, I'm gonna steal a Hummer from a dead Medinaite and drive it as much as I want.

Government should not be in the business of legislating taste. Check out their coiffure and ensembles on CSPAN and you'll see what I mean.

It was a pretty good speech because of the earlier insults he didn't repeat? Come on. Bush has a zero follow through track record. The speech was pandering to his newly democratic audience, but as usual, he has no intent to follow through. His vague 'energy plan' would still increase greenhouse gases by at least 15% by 2020, and can only be executed through a heavy reliance on coal gasification (being heavily pushed by coal producing states and energy companies) which doubles the greenhouse gas release per gallon of gasoline burned: a disaster. He had a big energy plan during his last speech, too: hydrogen (uh, sometime in the far, far future, and not energy efficient to produce anyway), alternative fuels (funded by a whopping 30 million dollars for research). And what of our imminent attack on Iran? It would be nice to be surprised this time, but so far, in six years, all the man has been able to do is make empty promises, lie, destroy our global reputation, consolidate executive power an the expense of civil liberties, divide the country, waste enormous amounts of our money on projects that only hurt our future, and send our troops to die in pointless wars.

That would certainly making housing more affordable.

Yo mama got mo back than Dick Cheney on tax day.

Yo mama got mo booty than Blackbeard.

Yo mama gotta spread like a Texas oil tycoon.

Yo mama so fat, if you're closer than 50 miles, she just looks like a flat wall.

Yo mama so fat, last time she went scuba divin she came up with a giant squid clamped to her ass.

When yo mama go out for a bucket a fried chicken, she takes the backhoe.

If yo mama was Mexican, they'd have to build the fence in Canada.

If yo mama get any bigger, they gonna have to make her the 51st state.

Yo mama so fat she got couch cushions in her skin folds.
