And it's always good to get the opinion of someone so nonjudgmental and tolerant. Hey, since you love telling people what they should do so much, why not go be a general in Iraq and tell all the gun-lovers how to defend the poor helpless people here in our country? Just think of all the kewl shit you'd be able to order people to do just because you know better. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Imagine yourself being French (), and posting on SC! Open season... Everyone has his/her own grief... Yeah, well, the big difference is when a leftie does it, it gets a pass. When I do it, I get a ban. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Yup, it's something only the righties do over there. The lefties are little angels -- straight-talkers, inoffensive, to a man. In fact, never have I ever been subject to an obtuse, veiled attack or insult from a left-winger on Speakers Corner. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I'm dancin' with ya, babe! I've been secretly fantasizing that the water would be improved to the point of being tolerable ever since I started jumping there with you guys! The only thing is, until I was there on Sunday, I had never been given reason to think it would ever change. Then someone said, just before I was leaving, that you had something going on and City Water was coming! Woohooooo!!!

I have been banned from there too, for reasons I thought were utter b.s. as well. I even was in the process of deciding to go for the premium membership thing, but I sure wouldn't pay knowing I wouldn't have access to one of the parts of the site I enjoyed the most. I was given the impression that my most recent ban is permanent, but I dunno. Don't go through life expecting fairness and honesty from people, and you won't be disappointed. Sorry. That's the only advice I can give you related to this. Cheers, man. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Go kill something. It'll be really empowering, trust me. Then you'll feel like anything that would have threatened you will be scared of you! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

C'mon, nothing's more annoying than reading misquotes of a hyper-well-known song that everyone can hear in their head, and the mismatch between how the song really goes and how the song is quoted grates like stainless steel scrapers on broken teeth... especially when a short "listen" of the song in one's head would straighten it out... -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Right away I knew that you were looking for a bit of sympathy, like someone else already mentioned, but at the same time, as soon as I read that you were driving 1) without a license, 2) without insurance and 3) while too tired to keep yourself on the road, I found the harshness-factor in me rising. Man, think of how pissed off you would be, the names you would call, the damage you would do, to someone who did exactly what you did and fucked up your shit. I know you fucked up your own car, yeah, but you weren't the guy who didn't leave himself in harm's way -- the guy whose property you hit was. He's the guy who should feel pissed off and indignant. But from your comments above, you don't sound like you're taking much of a lesson from this. You sound like you just want to smart-off to the authorities you hold responsible for your predicament. Well, to start with, if you had gotten off the road when you felt too tired to drive, the fact of the other two infractions never would have made themselves an issue, right? I did this just a few weeks ago, driving back from the DZ -- I actually pulled off I-95 and slept for 45 minutes at a rest area. Sure, it's a waste of time, but it's a waste of time that may have saved my life, and the lives of other people on the road who weren't asking for me to collide with them. Sorry this has to happen to you at a tough period in your life, but you really should be taking your lumps about it instead of getting defensive and trying to turn it around with smartass comments about how many people you could have killed had you joined the marines. This is not at all related to that, and you surely know it. This is about you and choices you made to do irresponsible things. Anyone here could have been in your path when you fell asleep, or anyone here's relatives or friends. If you had killed someone -- you left that up to chance, and got lucky -- would you be so flippant? Get a lawyer. Spend the money. Learn the lesson. Determine not to fuck up like this again. Do what it takes to keep from doing so. Don't drive unlicensed, uninsured and tired if it would ever piss you off to have someone wreck your shit doing the same -- and you KNOW it WOULD. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

I hope you put the shit in Tupperware so that it doesn't get smeared on the teddy bears. It's hard to get it out of the fur, I figure. If you do, I want credit for the idea. If you don't have Tupperware, I'd use doubled Ziploc bags at the very least. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Sorry, folks, for your loss. I don't know any Pantera music (or Damageplan, for that matter) but I respect a good guitarist and wish I was one. As far as the sadness of his brother witnessing his murder, well, I think that maybe at least seeing the shitbag who killed him dead of a 12 ga. shotgun wound gave him more satisfaction than he'd get watching the piece of shit look a jury in the eye and say, "I'm not guilty of this." That'd be worse. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I'm no oenophile, and really I barely drink any wine at all, but one time I was asked to bring a bottle of Jacob's Creek to a party -- I think it was a Merlot -- and I was very surprised at how pleasantly smooth it was. I often don't like red wine, and a lot of wine has too much of that alcohol "bite" to it for me, but this one did not. I actually enjoyed it. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Well that sucks. BS/BD -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Maybe there was an elementary school or library or something nearby that was a threat to the president and the wingman went to shoot it up. LOL! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

OMG I only just realized what "Skirt Steak" could seem like a euphemism for!! LOL!! And given the forum in which the post appears... I'm surprised it hasn't been jumped on! Did I really just hijack my own thread and steer it towards a discussion of terms for pussy?! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

My dad's great. When he comes down from NY, he brings me a bag full of frozen steaks! This time, it was porterhouses and skirt steaks. In the diners on Long Island, they call skirt steak "Romanian Tenderloin Steak." It's often the most expensive thing on the menu at the typical Greek diner, actually. My mom used to order it every so often, and I'd get a taste. I always found it delicious. I found out many years later, by reading a label at the supermarket, that another name for this steak is "beef diaphragm!" How weird is that? Well, I still love the stuff, and the reason for this thread is that I'm eating one I just broiled a few minutes ago. I wanted to find out if I'm the only one who likes it. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

CLASSIC!! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Find smarter friends. This guy sounds like he is a few bricks short of a deck... Well, when life gives you lemons... -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Well, I haven't put it on ketchup for fries, but neither do I salt my fries. I DO love any excuse to use fresh ground pepper, though, yes. It's kinda funny, because when I was a kid, pepper on the tongue was the punishment we got for using bad language. I used to hate it, and now I love it. I remember one time when I was really young, like maybe 6 or so, my dad's nephew came down and stayed with us from Buffalo. We had steak for dinner, and to the amazement of all six of us, cousin Michael literally coated the entire top of his steak with pepper. I mean, it was like a layer of volcanic ash at Pompeii. We were all just gape-jawed. I'm wondering if time and memory have altered my recollection of just how much there was, but I really seem to recall it was just a thick layer of pepper and I could not imagine, at the time, how he could stand it at all! I can relate much much better now, though. I love a good salad of mixed greens with extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and LOTS of fresh ground black pepper. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

I figure, if we "love to eat our animals" aren't we accomplishing both goals at once? -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I really want a Roger Waters concert shirt from the Radio K.A.O.S. tour of 1988. I was just getting into him at the time and didn't get to see that tour. My big brother in my fraternity had a shirt from that show, and I about went crazy with envy when he told me he had seen Rog then. (I had to settle with seeing Rog twice the last time he toured, in like 2000 or so.) -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

What does that mean? -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

That would keep me from getting my privates pierced, too. If I am ever with a long-term girlfriend who would get hers done, I'd go with her to get mine done. But I sure as hell won't be having anyone but a female do it! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Well, mine came with a hole... I sure as hell didn't put it there -- must be a manufacturer's defect! Hey, what specifically does Prince Albert mean was pierced? I mean, there are different parts that can be stuck... And how did it come to have that name? -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
