Oh yeah? Last week in front of the Tin Hat I spotted a doughy female human larvae with a tattoo of a chick with a tattoo of a chick with a tattoo of a chick with a tattoo of a Dickies logo beneath her shower ring pierced navel.

I believe Garden Variety Faith was a folk band.

Nobody knows anything. People say the earth is round. Right! I'm standing on it right now, and it seems pretty damn flat to me. Some secular humanist teacher in school tried the whole Greek guy and his shadow explanation on me, but that Greek guy is long gone, and I didn't get a very good grade in geometry. Until someone can convince me that the earth is round without resorting to the standard intellectual ploy of using math and Greeks and stuff, just a plain old believable explanation that makes good common sense, I'm not buying it.

Their habit of spearing and eating anything they come across could make for some delays...

Last time I was there there was tons of information in the visitor center giving the age of each geological layer.

I was diagnosed with PF in '97. Tried icing, then a cortisone shot, then off the shelf inserts, but nothing worked. I bit the bullet and got a pair of rigid 3/4 length custom orthodics ($300) and haven't had a problem since. I can run ultras and adventure race, whatever. I'd like to find a lighter pair sometime, though.

Hans Brix, my frien, so good to see you.

I'll look into it tomorrow. I know the oil industry has a couple of trade rags everybody reads. There's lots of reasons why W wants the surge; The primary one being that he's a complete fucking moron.

The oil companies have been waiting for Iraq to stabilize, and, now that they realize that's not going to happen, they want to secure a deal before things get worse. Doing so would be much better than not doing so. Perhaps they hope that the contract will a) survive what is coming or b) be reconstituted once stability returns. It's not a stretch to imagine that the oil companies are lobbying the White House hard for an Iraq stable enough to get the deal done. This agreement will determine who pumps Iraqi oil for the next 30 years. It involves trillions of dollars of revenue. Surely, it's not too much of a stretch to imagine that the oil companies would be desparately trying to make this happen as soon as possible, as opposed to just walking away. Regardless of who gains control over Iraq's oil, they're going to need foreign companies to get it out of the ground for them.

Nuking the Middle East would make for some excellent Youtube watching.

Forget the Surge. Let's go for the Purge:

Anyone who put radio frequency transmitters in my Home Depot receipts could track me for years.

Hindus love to have guests for dinner. When they have family for dinner, it's called kindaloo.

I'm for collagenocide; the extermination of great fat pie wagons who cannot keep their lips from slapping together in a rabid fashion.

NPR just did a segment on the pending oil deal in Iraq. It's supposed to be the most lucrative for US oil companies in history. It seems to be a last gasp attempt for them to get the deal signed with a relatively friendly government before Iraq implodes or fractures. The deal has not been signed, but Malaki's government supports most of its terms. It's interesting how W's troop escalation coincides with the oil industry's sprint for the finish.

Who would Baby Jebus bomb?

An excellent technology for tracking the illicit movements of Canadian vending machines.

Would Kevbone be a third vote?

You've got man boobs.

Oh yes, the carefully crafted, simplified "those" who exist only in your imagination.

Maybe you should separate your sense of individuality from what you drive. Otherwise, you limit yourself to either a) Driving a piece of shit that no one else wants to own for "individuality's" sake, or b) Driving what everyone else drives because it's a good vehicle.

This is really unsettling. Government should have no say in what we can or cannot eat.

And here I thought you couldn't raid an embassy. Dubs must have just seen Casino Royale. Start the egg timer for another US embassy bombing. The Somalian airstrike was another nice touch. It's all about hearts and minds. "We think we got a top Qaeda suspect". Don't hold your breath for any confirmation, though.
