  1. I'd be interested in seeing that too. I rate this Vinny-created chicken recipe as mediocre. Darn it. Ahh well...desserts are my specialty anyway... That's what I get for not drinking tequila today. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  2. My money is on Skymama. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  3. . Go to any bar and look around. You'll find that there are many people drinking that do not smoke. Yet you don't find cirrhosis or pancreatic cancer killing/hospitalizing people in the same numbers as lung cancer. Were alcoholism as detrimental as smoking, the numbers would at least be on the same order of magnitude. Just over 2 million Americans are suffering from alcohol-related liver diseases. How many smokers are suffering from smoking induced lung problems? Tens of millions. Your analogy comparing skydiving to smoking really doesn't hold much water. Even should the number of skydivers grow to equal the number of smokers, the statistics would remain the same. Skydiving is statistically a very safe sport. Smoking, in contrast, is ALWAYS detrimental to the lungs of both the smoker and the innocent people exposed to their second hand smoke. Smokers tend to scream and cry about non-smokers impinging on their freedoms. If I sip tequila in a bar, what have I done to anyone? Nothing. If a smoker smokes in a bar or anywhere else, what has he/she done to anyone else? Exposed them to carcinogens, smelled up their clothes/hair, and made them uncomfortable. "You don't have to go in those establishments!" tends to be the response of those defending smokers. This is true. Those who choose to go into those establishments who do not smoke choose to inhale carcinogenic material produced by the smokers. It's not only restaurants, but beaches and parks too. Nothing ticks me off more than to be lying at the beach and have some fucktard upwind of me light up a cancer-stick and ruin my sunbathing/reading/enjoying the outdoors. What right does that asshole have to expose me to carcinogenic material? None. If I sip tequila on the beach, what have I done to anyone? Nothing. I've exposed nobody to carcinogens. I haven't stunk up their hair/cloths/swimsuit. I haven't caused them to cough or become offended. I'm merely sipping a drink, whereas smokers are jeapordizing the health of others as well as themselves. Smoking advocates' response to this always gives me a chuckle. "What right do you have to inhibit the enjoyment of smokers who wish to smoke on a beach? You enjoy sunbathing - they enjoy smoking." This response once again shows that advocates for smoking in public refuse to face the fact that their action causes harm and discomfort to others. Anytime you ask a smoker bemoaning the restrictions on smoking in public places why he or she believes they have the right to expose others to carcinogens, they tend to run like cowards rather than answer the question. "I think I have a right to expose everyone else to carcinogens because..." will rarely come out of the mouth of the smoker or his/her advocates. I've ebabbled and my stove is telling my my chicken is done.
  4. O dear God. This should be interesting... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  5. Hmmm...you think the dangers associated with skydiving equate to those associated with long term smoking? I think not. None of the activities you've listed come anywhere close to the $$ value of the costs smokers have caused insurance companies to incur. None of them in and of itself will result in higher health care costs. Grossly obsese? Sure, the costs will go up. Skydivers - look at the stats. Drinkers - again, look at the stats. Were I an insurer I would state up front in any policy that cancers associated with smoking would not be covered under this policy.

  6. That's pretty cool. Didn't know that. I like the biodiesel and ethanol as alternative fuels.
  7. I support smoking bans. I HATE it when I'm exposed to second hand smoke, regardless of venue. The libertarian in me balks at the government telling business owners what they can and cannot do within the confines of their own property, but with regrads to smoking the anti-smoking side of me wins out. I agree with Jeanne - insurance companies should make the smokers pay for their own health care costs with regards to smoking related illnesses. My US$0.02.
  8. Good catch. what kind of JACKASS has paws? Perhaps a were-JACKASS? The articles are really good.
  9. Dude, if you have one of those Razor phones, I had three lemons right in a row. this one is working OK though.
  10. Good articles about the Democratic Party and oil. It actually IS a good story about the Dem's and not a Dem bashing session. Highly recommend reading it if you can get your paws on a copy. Edit: 2 separate articles. One about the Dems - the other about oil.
  11. I'm in, dude! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  12. Ooooh not just about me. THe Man is now going after everyone. Shorty is just used to it. Now the NBA fans get their turn for a bit. They needn't worry though. The Man doesn't hate them as badly as The Man hates the short man. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  13. Good thinking. I'm going to drink a wee bit o' tequila tonight too. I refuse to bow down to the cold. I am going to workout a bit when I get home just to spite it. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  14. The Man is always trying to keep shorty down. I'm used to it. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  15. The voice was a precursor to a wicked and vile cold. I need to go to the vet, I do believe. The JACKASS has a sniffle. The vet will probably just tell me to drink lots of fluids and be sedentary, I'll drink lots of tequila and be non-sedentary, go back to the vet, he'll chew me out and tell me I'm an idiot and to drink NON-TEQUILA fluids, and by then I'll be almost better anyway. I HATE the common cold! Somebody cure this immediately! I'm going to get my sledge out this afternoon and take my cold-frustrations out on something! Muuuhuhahahahahahaaaaaa!!!

  16. I take a multivitamin and garlic daily. Other supplements I take on occasion, depending on what I'm doing.
  17. I can't consume enough tequila now to celebrate for us all - I have to work tomorrow! I just drank a sip for you, though. Now Friday or Saturday night, however.... hehehehehehehehehehe. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  18. I guess I'm not the only one who drinks too much tequila... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  19. Congrats! Glad you are up and walking again! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  20. In that case, my voice should be back to normal in no time! I just poured a glass of Don Julio.... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  21. Oooooh Chimay is damned good beer...do you like Belgian lambics or krieks too?
  22. Naaah. Very unusual occurrence. I felt badly because the person on the phone - it registered as a private call (WTF is that?) - probably had no clue that I don't normally sound that way or anything. I am not a monster! I'm a JACKASS. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  23. Wierdest thing just happened to me. I got a phone call and answered, and my voice sounded like I was an evil monster or something. Must have scared the caller off. LoL. My voice has been in and out all day, but never that bad until I answered the phone. Most odd. This ever happen to anyone else?

  24. Never had those, dude. Now I must find them... thanks! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
