  1. Somebody wanna take this joke? I'm already out of the car by then.
  2. Could you get $200K in 20s into a briefcase? If not, some of it would still need to be tied on anyway. I have used 1/4 rope to launch rafts with the help of 3 friends. If it loses stability, and you are the last one holding on, you want to get rid of it. It will streamer and twist above your head. A briefcase tied to one wrist would probably beat you up a little. So, tieing a bag around your waist would hold the best chance of success. Perhaps any extra money could go in the briefcase as a second option (if you lose it, you lose it). I was told that the briefcase idea was tested by an extremely experienced jumper after the event. He said it was a really bad idea. I guess that someone has done the obvious thing and tested the money for DNA. If the case was still attached at the bottom of the river... the dredge would have given Cooper the same treatment. Probably nobody was looking for bone frags. That would certainly explain why no money was ever passed.
  3. At one of the country bars, there is the "far end". There is a bar near the dance floor, but there is a spot at the far end for 1am to roll around. A few that are just going to hang out, drink all evening, and wait for the "beer googles" to take effect. It always seems that 2 or 3 are wearing the leopard skin print mini skirts. At around midnight, my buddy points one out. "That skirt looks good on her." "She's taking the mini out of miniskirt. That leopard must have been huge."
  4. clicky At last, comics provide a simple answer to one of the big questions of life. Perhaps, in the future, a movie script adapting it from a two-dimensional images to a one-dimensional film. Imagine, another William Shatner role. My favorites. "Losing a bundle at the dog track" "Finding out Ringo is married" " Having an unsightly elbow wart" You just can't find this information everywhere. Hidden from us by the Oprah Conspiracy.
  5. HR 2134 It is just another commission that will do another study. The text does not mention any strategy. In fact, it seems to refer to S American and the Caribbean as the sources of the drugs. That is the current program, stopping it as its source.
  6. It is near the end of the school year. The teacher has turned in her grades. There is really nothing to do. The teacher says, "Whoever answers the questions I ask first and correctly can leave early today." "Who said 'Four Score and Seven Years Ago'?" Susie said, "Abraham Lincoln". "That's right Susie. You can go". "Who said, 'I Have a Dream'?" Mary said, "Martin Luther King". "That's right Mary. You can go". Johnny said, "I wish these bitches would keep their mouths shut". The teacher asked, "WHO SAID THAT?" Johnny said, "TIGER WOODS! CAN I GO NOW?"
  7. It's like those obnoxious smart mouth punks that give you crap until you hit them. Then they whine about, "I was only kidding... Just words." Somehow, there is a rule that says you can't hit weaker people, but they are allowed to harass you without end. Women are generally smaller and weaker, so they get treated like weak men. If you say something and they hit you, the rule still applies. So, the reason is, society isn't just.
  8. It's called a "porn buddy!" The situation need not be fatal. All women should have a "toy buddy". If mom was staying at the house after an accident, you wouldn't want her to find the "toy box" under the bed.
  9. You're still thinking in the long term. Funny how life works: Young: Live for today Mid-life: Live for tomorrow Old: Just LIVE. There is Miss Right and Miss Right Now. "Sure I used safe sex. I gave her a fake name."
  10. Many guys do the spinning classes because they bike on the weekend, but need to train during the week after work. I have done the aerobic classes. I quit because of the choreography. After a while, it seemed like going to a bar and doing line dancing. I regularly do the yoga classes because I need the flexibility and the workout is harder than weight lifting for me. Nobody in the classes seems to be doing it for social reasons. Any after-class conversation involve improving on the goals of the classes. That said, years ago, an older guy told me, "If the grandmas like you, they will put in a good word for you with the younger women." Instant acceptance. Works in any venue.
  11. Food - most cities only keep a 3-day supply. Based on what happens in Calif about every 5 years, the govt has very little control over the population. They just wait until the fires burn out and there is no more goods to steal. Then, they claim they have restored calm. Survivalists believe that they will be respected and raised to a position of leadership. They will be pleased for about 2 weeks.
  12. Bill Cole knows. But he's not sayin'. That's not true. He gives us the absolutely, unequivocal, Biblically-true, one-time date... about twice a year. "The new date for the end of the world is..."
  13. You should try to get on that tv show, Wife Swap... and then move after 3 episodes.
  14. WSJ One in three. The tone of the article is WTF? All the "experts" are avoiding any type of prediction.
  15. This has all seemed like Savings and Loan Scandal - Part Deux. People with good credit were given too much credit. Due to poor social programs, people with poor/no credit were given too much. Doomed to failure.
  16. The problem is that he's using the wrong math. The variables are looks, sanity, and personality. Assign a value to each from 1-10. Add them. Whoever he dates, the sum is the same. He has two problems. His priorities are goofy. Second, mathematicians think 2+2 always equals four because they made it a rule. His problem is that he thinks there are concrete rules. Nope.
  17. As the distributor of design documents, I discovered that our network software filtered out any email with the word document in it. "No, we didn't receive it either..."
  18. The univ in Deland has a large fountain with a standing bowl. According to the campus police, there has never been a statue in the top of the fountain. That was the giveaway.
  19. math Umm... bad math, that's the answer. Maybe he should try tequila shots instead. Hunting for a serious relationship in the UK... Perhaps this bears reading. Relevant factors? Cash and car are suspiciously absent. A flaw in the formula exposes itself.
  20. Well, I guess he was just a product of his times. He was making racist remarks wayyyy back in 2008. He doesn't think that way these days. All VP and Pres candidates get special tutoring on many, many topics. That is expected. Since the topic is racist attitudes, not foreign policy, and SP never made a racist remark, what is your point? (Other than changing the topic) So far, no Dem has actually said, "Whoa! Bad idea to expect all them black folks to talk like that." Not one. (waiting for the "...but Mom... everybody does that" excuse) But I expect that. After all, "A zebra does not change its spots." - Al Gore
  21. It got so cold that the leaves fell off my artificial house plants.
  22. A vote count is inconsequential. It does not concern me. You should go ahead and state that you believe it is ok that -the Dem leadership still refers to black leaders as negroes. -they are surprised that they speak English with clarity. -this does not constitute a racist comment. I recommend following the Dem procedure of avoiding saying anything that can be taken in context.
  23. Now that it is definitely an ad hominen. An ad hominem argument has the basic form: Person 1 makes claim X There is something objectionable about Person 1 Therefore claim X is false The first premise is called a 'factual claim' and is the pivot point of much debate. The contention is referred to as an 'inferential claim' and represents the reasoning process. There are two types of inferential claim, explicit and implicit. The fallacy does not represent a valid form of reasoning because even if you accept both co-premises, that does not guarantee the truthfulness of the contention. This can also be thought of as the argument having an un-stated co-premise. Although, the ad hominem argument is not a fallacy despite there being fallacious instances of the argument. (edit) from wikipedia. A what? I'm not making an argument. I was making a jest. Only Jo thinks that the CIA has two people covering this thread. (Actually, the Snowman was released from prison in 1998 and went into the movie business with Sean Penn. Cooper... book... movie rights... hmmm...) Don't expect me to respond if you can't post in English. I can't speak Latin. In fact, I've never even visited Latin America. The wisest use of resources would be for all posters to bolt 60ft of 3/8 in nylon rope to their desktops. The square corners will drag nicely along the bottom and stop their boat from drifting in a 4mph current. Go fishing in the Columbia. You'll never find Duanes body on the bottom, but a nice trout dinner is possible.
