  3. Vibes......what fun. I hate thermal. Engineers rule. Now I was a physicist in undergrad and you HAD to be drunk to do quantum! My rig is OOC so I can't jump and the weather sux here in Monterey.... Beers, Vinny Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

  5. Woodrow Wilson.....hmmm.....he DID give us the Eighteenth Ammendment, which in turn gave us Ted 'The Bottle' Kennedy..... No dude, I'd really have to put him ahead of both Carter and El Jefe Clintonista. Even though I'm a devout beer drinker and detest Ted Kennedy, I don't put Wilson behind these two. Wilson's administration did see the beginning of direct election of Senators and Women's Suffrage - both of which I wholeheartedly support. I also think that though the League of Nations was a failure and the UN is following it into irrelevance, the idea of an open forum for nations to discuss their differences is good in principle. Wilson was also a real leader - from everything I've read about the man, unlike Clinton or Carter. Carter's "...the country is in a malaise and I don't know what to do about it..." coupled with his traitorous decision not to allow breeder reactors (he's a nuclear engineer and DAMNED well knew better) and many other things put him well below Wilson. Clinton's multitude of scandals, inept foreign policy, giving credibility to Arafat, loathing of the military, perjury, and many other reasons make him the lowest on the totem pole in my book. Back to Wilson, though, you CAN make a strong argument that he's the worst. 18th ammendment aside, his ludicrous views of submarine warfare prior to WWI and his views on the Versailles Treaty were bungling at its best/worst. I can see why you bring him up, but he's still down there - my own two cents. Beers, Vinny Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  6. Yeah, I'm the same way. He ticks me off when he rags on single mammas because I've got some very special friends who are single mothers, but I do love to read his stuff. His required reading links are always interesting whenever I have time to read them. Cheers, Vinny Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  7. Yeah, it just sounds tough, though it's pretty simple. You're right. Let's replace that with 'crochet' or 'knitting' or something. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

  9. SkyDekker I'm putting on extra socks here in a minute because Hell has frozen right over - we agree! 11 Sep changed the course of the Bush presidency entirely. It made him compeletely reshape his foreign policy, create an entire new department (don't agree with that), and alter his domestic policy as well in many many respects. Like 7 Dec 1941, 11 Sep 2001 will be a date remembered by all. I am pretty sure that Bush would have acted differently than El Jefe Clintonista with regards to dealing with terrorists and other little noids of foreign policy, but definitely NOT in the manner he did after 9/11. No question there. I do think Clinton was the worst president of the 20th century followed closely by Carter - even though both did some good for the nation during their term in office. I think the absolute WORST thing he could have done with regards to terrorists is give Yassar Arafat so much credibility as a leader in the civilized world. Arafat should be tried and executed for his roles in the Israeli Olympic massacre in Munich and the assassination of the US charge d'affairs in Khartoum among many many other crimes. Disgusting. Now for those socks......(kidding of course) Vinny the Anvil Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  10. http://www.boortz.com/comm-speech.htm Funny as hell. Sure to send lefty's everywhere into convulsions of anger. LMFAO. For those unfamiliar with Boortz, check out his daily news tid-bits for a week. Very very interesting commentary every day - today's isn't one of his best, but still interesting. He TROUNCED O'Reilly the other day on FOX and I mean hard. Beers to all, Vinny the Anvil Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

  13. Der Meistersinger......Der Ring des Nibelungen....Der Fliegende Hollander.... Mein Gott! Wagner gefallt mir ganz gut. Seit ein Jahre habe ich ein Opera nicht gesehen, aber letzte Woche horte ich noch ein bisschen von Gotterdammerung.
  14. Ahhhh...drunkenness.....sweet drunkenness.....why can't I drink AND work simultaneously? Because I'm not a beer taster, dammit! Why the hell do I have to be an engineer? Why? Why? Looks like a kickass party dude!
  15. Two. One due to a malfuncion and one due to my cutaway handle being pulled by a jumper who will remain un-named while we were in the proverbial 'hairball' after funnelling an exit. That terminal velocity reserve opening sucked ass. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  16. I disagree. The ACLU is a powerful voice in the democratic party. Over the past ten years the tenor and direction of their arguments has become increasingly radical, so I tend to ignore them a lot more than I used to. However, when they speak, democrats listen. Always. They might not agree or take what action they recommend, but listen they do. moon pies, Vinny the Anvil Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  17. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits, and the cockroaches from a thousand whore-houses infest your bedroom for such an evil prank. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  18. That depends on what aspect of engineering you are talking about. In some areas that's correct, in others, not a chance. Really really a broad statement to make - can't agree with you there dude. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  19. Not yet he's not. We're wearing him down slowly but surely. He's just delaying the inevitable.....hehehehehe Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

  21. I haven't read the bill actually discussed herein, but the gist of this article seems to indicate that the Republicans weren't opposed to the wiretaps themselves. It seems that they were against individuals being deprived of the right to sue law enforcement officers for improperly collecting private information as a result of the aforementioned wiretaps. I HATE the disaster that the tort system has become, but can see their point. I don't think the mere collection of private info accidentally should be grounds for a lawsuit, but the USE of such info in an improper/inappropriate or criminal manner would be grounds for launching a lawsuit.

  22. THE ANVIL RETURNS to the thread Darn. Have a rough bit of work - not done yet - and look what happens. The thread takes on a new life. I agree that it was a lack of imagination on the part of the government, but not on the part of the Al Quaida jerkoffs. Remember that book by Clancy where the Japanese dude flies the airliner right into the capitol building in DC and takes it out during the President's state of the union? I'm amazed there weren't defenses atop the Pentagon and the White House within months of that being published. On to further posts......

  23. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEETTT!!!!!!! Why the hell wouldn't they like you? Smart, charming, witty, skydiver.....I can't think of a reason not to. So all we have to do is get rid of this guy, eh? With all of the innovative and creative people around here, he should be worried.... Congrats! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
