The sad fact of the matter is that the Liberal intelligentsia of this country (moresoe in this argument that of states such as IL, CA, and NY) think that everyone other than them is a gun-toting nutjob. Let us watch their tunes change when they're robbed at gunpoint or one of their family members are murdered. Not everyone is a rational human being. Using your mind will get you killed when dealing with the ignorant and violent. All the PhDs in the world don't mean a thing to a street thug with a 9mm. I refuse to be a victim. The Idiots in Chicago municipal government need to take their heads out of the sand.

So you turn around and point your pistol at his chest, only to see that it's your class instructor, who just wants to make sure you get safely to your car... A situation like that would be best served by a stun gun. Zap the fucker and find the nearest police call box. But thanks to sentiments like Prof, Kallend's, Reichsmarshal Daley has decreed we cannot even possess stun guns or Tasers in Chicago. PATHETIC.

Get a Jeep instead of a bike. Wind in yer hair, but much safer.

I like beer. But since I'm on Vicodin, I cannot have any.

And a dumbass too!! Now get yo punkass to IL for the par-tay!! I only wish the Air Force would let me go. I expect a job offer next monday, and I only hope they'll hold the job for me until I get back to Chicago...grrr... This Vicodin is making me feel like fuzzy Jell-o...

Yes, the guard was off. I'm an idiot, and now the poster child for workplace safety/OSHA... My gloves were so torn up, they provided no help. I'm a tard on all counts...

...Was cutting metal on the Jeep I'm rebuilding. Was using my angle grinder with a cutting wheel. The wheel jumped. I look at my right hand. An inch-long gash, on the side of my right hand, just between the knuckle of my index finger and the webbing of my thumb. Suddenly, blood drops the size of hershey kisses are falling on the floor. Oh Shit. Run to the laundry room, get a dishtowel, apply pressure. Boy Scouts taught me well. Once I realized that this was not a Band-aid type of thing, one idea in my mind-where's the closest ER? Get to the ER. Needles suck. Even those numbing up my hand. Irrigation is not pleasent to watch, especially when the cut is 1.1cm DEEP. six stitches, tetanus booster. X rays to ensure I did not chip the bone. Neuro exam to ensure I did not cut a nerve or tendon. Ugh. I wanted to go mountain biking today. But I am glad that I can still count to ten without taking a shoe off or unzipping my fly... But there is an upside... ...Vicodin.

You don't know that. There's plenty of expert medical opinion stating otherwise. You can get any "expert medical opinion" you want, you just need to hire the right doctor. Hire a Fundie-raving-loony-bible-banging MD, he's gonna say keep the slab of meat alive forever. Hire a realistic doc, he'll make her as comfortable as possible until she dies. Personally, I think he should divorce her and cede custody to the parents.

Buy a Boa Constrictor. Do not feed it for 2 weeks. Let it loose in the yard. No more mole.

This is horseshit, designed to get the insurance companies to pay for peoples' obesity-related illnesses....

I like Pie. Mmmm...Pie. When post again, bring pie.

Having grown up in Chicago, I must say that a Polish accent on an Anna Kournikova-looking girl is uber-sexy. Same goes for a Latina accent on a hot senorita...

The Animal of the Day is up. Click on "Tasmanian Pademelon." I will use the suggestions here for future AoDs.

Laurie Dann proved that it could happen in any neighborhood. Look up what happened in Winnetka, IL back in May 1988. I promise you that Winnetka is as far removed from urban gang ridden areas. ...Just full of pampered white kids who think they're urban ghetto thugs. Snoop Doggy Trevor.

Tasmanian Pademelon, Thylogale billardierii http://www.ctrl-c.liu.se/ftp/IMAGES/animals/misc/pademelon.jpg Description The pademelon is a stocky animal with a relatively short tail and legs to aid its movement through dense vegetation. It ranges in colour from dark-brown to grey-brown above and has a red-brown belly. Males, which are considerably larger than females, have a muscular chest and forearms, and reach up to 12 kg in weight and 1 - 1.2 m in overall length, including the tail. Females average 3.9 kg in weight. The unusual common name, pademelon, is of Aboriginal derivation. It is also sometimes referred to as the rufous wallaby. Distibution and habitat Pademelons are solitary and nocturnal, spending the hours of daylight in thick vegetation. Rainforest and wet forest is the preferred habitat, although wet gullies in dry open eucalypt forest are also used. Such habitat next to cleared areas where feeding can occur is especially favoured. After dusk, the animals move onto such open areas to feed, but rarely stray more than 100 metres from the security of the forest edge. The species is abundant and widespread throughout the state of Tasmania. It is commonly seen around many of the state's national parks. Diet The diet of the pademelon consists of herbs and green shoots, with short green grasses being preferred. Mosses are occasionally eaten. Pademelons were undoubtedly important in the thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) diet and are now important in the diet of Tasmanian devils, spotted-tailed quolls and wedge-tailed eagles. Breeding Although there is no specific breeding season, 70% of pademelon births occur around the beginning of winter. Gestation is 30 days. Pouch life is 6.5 months. The young are weaned at 7 - 8 months and are sexually mature at 14 - 15 months. Longevity in the wild may be 5 - 6 years. Status This species is extinct on the mainland because of predation by foxes and large scale land clearance, although two other species occur along the east coast of the mainland. In Tasmania, however, the pademelon is both widespread and abundant. Although partially protected, hunting is allowed; its pelt is commercially valuable and the meat is palatable.

...The Animal of the Day. It must be obscure. Suggestions?

Billvon: Do you own stock in an ethanol or bio-diesel company, or are you going to be equally fucked as the rest of us when it all hits the fan? Because you are the most pessimistic one here... I'd convert to Electric tomorrow if the technology/performance was there... It's not any one person's fault the system is this way... The Oil companies have a huge incentive to lobby strongly against the government subsudizing alternative technology research. Wars for Oil are going to be much more common in the future...

All I give a shit about is whether we will be able to get from point A to point B during my lifetime, without paying $10 for a quart of gas. Guess everyone will be riding Vespas soon...

I have been held up at gunpoint more than once in my life. Once in Chicago, once in Milwaukee. Both cities forbid handguns. Didn't stop the assholes who stuck a pistol in between two of my ribs. I want a goddamn measure of protection. Cops are not omnipresent. Our Fuhrer Daley has a skewed view with his CPD protective detail, and the Aldermen can all carry concealed. Without resorting to ad hominem attacks, tell me why I should not be able to carry at least a Taser to protect myself...

I like Rabbits.

Doctor, how can you work on a campus within eyesight of CHA projects and not feel the slightest unsafe at times? The AFROTC det at IIT that I graduated from advised people to not wander off campus at night unless you were going to a completely different area of town... In Chicago I cannot, as a law-abiding citizen, carry a firearm (or even a Taser) to protect myself from law-flaunting criminals who have no problem accessing a weapon. It's true-when guns are outlawed, only criminals will have them. I want some measure of protection, but Fuhrer Daley won't let me...I guess having several CPD Detectives as a personal security detail kinda skews one's perspective.

7) Euthanizing them is legal.

...Another dipshit who considers school a taxpayer-subsidized daycare system, only there to make the kid feel good about themselves. Newsflash: School can suck ass at times. It does (and should at times) make you question your existence/abilities. From that pain comes growth. Life is tough. Get a goddamn helmet.
