My favorite - anything by John LeCarre. Currently open - The Salmon of Doubt - Douglas Adams.

Weather Forecasters. How do you get this scam job? Todays forecast. 8am partly cloudy 11am partly cloudy 2pm thunderstorms 5pm thunderstorms Actual weather? Not one stinkin' cloud all day long. Totally clear. How wrong can you be and still keep your job? Apparently, completely. Tomorrows forecast? Same as today. Who knows...

Easy answer. Men aren't intimidated by other men. Men are buddies. First off, this is an article written by a male dating columnist for Glamour magazine. There are two hints right there. The article sounds an insecure person trying to rationalize their failure to overcome 8th grade social issues. I would suggest that most magazine articles, of any type, are written for the reader.

It's part of the Regular Guy Look, inspired by fashion icon Rodney Dangerfield in his documentary Easy Money.

Some new fashion information... gloves And, of course, special hats The only thing about the gloves is that I get enough criticism about having my hands in underwear without this.

In Florida, we had an incident that was a lot more serious than that. In one incident, two police officers were shot and the suspect was killed by police during the search. (Tons of police showed up. That's the way it works.) The relatives played the "just a nice young man" media bs and characterized it as a "hunt". (Duh?) Our governor, at the time, was asked to put together a special investigation. His response was that there were procedures in place to investigate those types of situations. That is the way it should work. Everyone should get the same justice and follow the same rules and procedures. This was a failure in the process of justice. This was just a media attention ploy, not a problem-solving mission.

Remember the lingerie threads? There would be nothing going on, and then... 200 posts. That's what we need for a "how to meet people online" thread. Lingerie.

You are creeping me out ... how would that be appropriate for this thread? Do I know you? And how "happy" are your "thoughts"? O The whole thread is about the online presentation and people's reaction. I was just joking about all the people who would be posting about an online picture. Just kiddin'.

Yes... this is what you find when you google "bound and gagged".

Was that Samuel L Jackson narrating that? Actually, after we kicked them to the curb in the morning, I liked to sit in front of the tv, smoke, do some shots, and watch the Beverly Hillbillies before going to class.

Do you have a pic of you in the red dress? (From Pirate Day at Zhills) That pic would be perfect for this thread.

My computer at work told me that when it takes over the world, it will move to the Bahamas with the cute copier on the 4th floor.

And then, there is the possibility of spawning the new industry. Buying "thin credits" from skinny people to lower your healthcare taxes. Cap-and-trade for calories. Eventually, you arrive at the establishment of taxation and laws that define what rights you have. "You do not need ice cream or bbq to be happy. If you wish to enjoy those foods, you must pay the tax to fund your additional healthcare costs." It is already done in some states. One state used to have a "luxury tax". Kind of like a "happiness" tax, but phrased to appear that it would not apply to you. Somehow, only "other people" would have luxuries and "we" wouldn't have to pay it. Guess what? It applies to the sale of tv sets. Anybody still think that a tv is a "luxury item" ? Nope, just a tax that is on the books. Once on the books, they never go away...and, they eventually apply to everyone. Calif bases license fees on vehicle cost, not road use (weight) like most states. That way, only "other people" with "luxury" cars will have to pay the extra tax. A light porshe is more than a heavier truck. Greed, one of the seven deadly sins and your govt is making money off of it by demanding a share.

More of a remembrance than knowing. I think I'd have to re-read the instructions about now. "One - in, Two - out, Three - repeat if necessary."

If done right...

I had 500 jumps with a frappe hat, but bought a full face for 4-way because being kicked/kneed in the face started to lose its attractive qualities. Plus, you have the added bonus of a place to collect all the snot in the chin cup.

There seems to be an easy target for taxes. The sins of others. Alcohol and cigs are often targets. At first, they were taxes on evils of society. "We'll let them exist, but we'll punish them financially." Then, they were the taxes on people who must have excess cash to lavish on pointless chemical entertainment. A tax on "others". Now, it has become reparations. Cig manufacturers must pay for the damage done to society. Anyone stupid enough to still smoke must pay for their future health care. So... here we are. Society has determine that the latest threat to health is... obesity. How long before there is an obesity tax? "That will be 9 dollars for that hamburger sir." We can affectionately call it the "bacon tax". (Interesting, and possibly NSFW, attachment)

Nah. Their flashes are the only thing hot about either of them. Wasn't PA the choreographer for Singing in The Rain ? I keep expecting some end-of-career-reviving-nudity out of them, accompanied by a slow yawning lack of interest.

I've noticed those things doing demos. Plus, one more item - burble. Whenever I do a demo, I give it a 4-count because the air right behind the Otter is fairly turbulent. A sub-terminal opening means that it is opening slower and the bag has more time to dance around. Mix the slow opening, fouled up air, and questionable body position - line twists (or worse) just waiting to happen.

All these hi-tech gadgets require batteries. The girls around here just use a Coke bottle full of bees.

I have seen it and I'd have to say that the major target of the movie was the concept of "Celebrity" and what people in the US are willing to do to get it. I thought the movie was all about celebrity-bashing and the idiocy that people go through. The funniest thing is that if a conservative film maker made the same points with a different approach, Hollywood would be screaming. (A lot of the gay jokes were just overdone and not really that funny. However, in the context of the whole movie they were kind of necessary.) What are people willing to do to make their children stars? "Are you ok with your child operating heavy machinery?" "You child needs to lose about 10 lbs. Can they do it in 1 week? Are they willing to get lipo done?" "Can we put them on a cross?" "Dressed as a nazi pushing a wheelbarrow full of Jews?" The answers were amazing. Adoption from other countries for media coverage? He trades a child for a designer phone. He tries to make a sex tape to become famous. He tries to do a tv show by replacing talent with over the top outrageous behavior. He appears on a Jerry Springer-type tv show. Trying to get media coverage by promoting a "cause". Just about everything offensive that was done in the movie, was done by the Jackson parents or Madonna. Seeing Jennifer Lopez sitting on a migrant worker because the furniture hadn't arrived was priceless. Movies always make caricatures of a type. Bruno was flamboyantly gay beyond measure. . I'm surprised that he lived through some of the stuff if it was not staged.

I just thought this was going to be another discussion of the Clinton marriage.

I was really disappointed to discover that lightning is not really the sparks off of Thor's anvil. I'm pretty certain that animism probably lacks some reality also. Much more knowledge and we will be completely out of the religion business.

Me too. From "none" to "some".
