The History Channel has a show called "Wild West Tech"... This week, it's about the invention and perfection of varying kinds of firearms which enabled the large-scale slaughter of Native Americans, etc., such as the Gatling Gun, Henry Rifle, things of that nature. The episode is titled (I shit you not): "Massacre Tech"... Am I the only one who finds this in rather poor taste? No matter where you are on gun ownership rights? It sounds like a Saturday Night Live skit... "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

I'm in Long Beach, CA and it's raining... "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

Prayers for you grandmother and family... "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

Or another: A man is stopped at a light on Sunset Strip when a prostitute saunters up to him and purrs, "You know, for a hundred dollars, I'll do ANYTHING..." He replies, "OK, paint my house." "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

So this trucker goes into a Nevada borello after three long weeks on the road. He strolls up to the madame, plunks three hundred dollars down on the table and says, "I want your ugliest woman and a bologna sandwich". She says, "But sir, for three hundred dollars you can have a beautiful woman and a six course meal". He says, "Lady, I'm here because I'm HOMESICK; not horny".

You're thinking of Stateline at Wild Bill's... Searchlight is actually 1/2 way between Vegas and Laughlin... "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

Probably something to do with your INFAMOUS "holiday dress" antics... Who knew they gave away trips to Vegas at the Reno Room? "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

Ooo, Pick Me! "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

There is a BIG difference in going to work with the flu and engaging in what is inarguably an intimate act. It wouldn't necessarily be limited to STD's. I've no problems with suing the jerk that has Hepatitis A and handles my food without washing his hands though. I agree; I am just saying that the interpretation and establishment of precedence may be a bit difficult... Because we all KNOW attorneys only file lawsuits that are legitimate...

On principle, I agree, however, where do you draw the line? Is it limited strictly to venereal disease? What if a cure for that disease becomes available, does it void the judgement? What about somebody who comes to work sick and gives you the flu, landing you in the hospital? Do you get to sue them for lost time, or maybe they should be arrested for endangerment? Personally, I think it is a bit of a slippery slope... "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

PHEW, that's good to know... All these years, I thought it was me and my antics driving them to drink... "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

This is an e-mail exchange between a friend and I, I would like to hear some views from different sides to forward back to the mailing list... Her group e-mail to me: Hey everyone, I'm sure some of you have already seen this website, but just in case you haven't, it really helps to alleviate some of those post-election blahs. www.sorryeverybody.com It contains THOUSANDS of photos of Americans (well, people who didn't vote for Bush) apologizing to the world for Bush getting re-elected. Eventually tons of people from countries around the world started posting their photos, too, saying that they accept our apologies "...but don't let it happen again!" in the words of one German guy. Anyway, it made me feel better knowing that there are people across the US and the world who are as mad and dumbfounded as I am. It's worth passing along to your other Blue friends and people overseas. Peace to all during this season. My response: Hello, dear... I hope all is well... Just some food for thought... Does it really serve any constructive purpose to tell the rest of the world how "sorry" we are?... Personally, I am as disappointed with the outcome of the election as you are; but, barring some legal challenge or future investigation, we (to put it in Cosa Nostra terms) "got the boss we got" for the next four years... Does it not weaken our position on the world stage to show them how divided we are?... Does it not send a victory message to those who would like to see our country fall from grace in total chaos?... And, at the end of the day, do you believe that the world sees us as anything but "America"; as opposed that those who voted for Bush and those who did not?... Just a slightly different take on it, I would be interested in your views... Again, hope all is well... Thoughts? "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

Interesting and well put-together document, thanks for the post. I would urge anyone on either side of the argument to read it. I do have a question, though; something that intrigues me. I support gun ownership rights (though my reasons are primarily constitutionally based, as opposed to having some great love of firearms; quite frankly I consider them more of a necessary evil than anything else), but want to pose the question: If guns are so great, no real threat, and, in fact, HELP to deter crime, why is there such a fear that they will be banned? Won't the "calmer" heads of the citizens of this country never allow something like that to happen? Especially given all of the "evidence"? And that also begs the question, again, if guns are such a wonderful thing to have around, how did all of these laws get passed to limit their availability, even in the face of it being a guaranteed constitutional right? What reasoning can be powerful enough for passing laws that limit a right spelled out in the SECOND ammendment of the constitution? Have we all just been the victims of an age-old anti-gun conspiracy? Or is there a nugget of reason in the arguments? Just curious on people's take on it...

Second that. Though the Johnny Rockets on Ocean Avenue in South Beach has burgers to die for as well... At 3:00 AM, anyways. "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

GROSS. "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

I might have to say Adam, too. The "thong" pictures were EPIC. "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

I guess it does beg the question: "Who's her daddy?" "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

DAMN!! If I only had that problem with a guy. Personally, I have only heard of this happening to guys. Maybe some of the good-looking girls have this sort of problem, never me. You do NOWWWWWWW... "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

I would have to say Howard, Babs, or Linda... And any of the other "entertainers"... Though I do give the artists who appeared in "Artists For Change" a few extra "relevance points" due to the organized nature of the protest. You should have caught the "Creative Coalition" (i.e., celebrity) event at the RNC; what a joke. At least the others on the list got people thinking; whether they were correct in their views or not.

These aren't bad, either. Jimmy Choo; a fave. "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

Hold out for the La Perla... "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

"Pirates Of The Caribbean"... OUTSTANDING mindless fun. Worth it for the Johnny Depp character alone. "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

Also, don't forget that due to benefits-related costs, it is VERY difficult for American companies to compete with a product that is not manufactured here. GM, for instance, absorbs a $1000+ cost on every single car delivered for health benefits alone. "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

"A Little Respect"...Erasure... Phenomenal dance tune/guilty pleasure... "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

Do I think I look good naked? Nope. "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET
