  1. ...and if you ask for granita in USA, with the exception of some higher-end Italian restaurants, you'll no doubt get funny looks. Granita in sapore limone con un tocco di Galliano, mmm.... Mi piaciono anche le grattachecche!! Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.
  2. Granted, I'll even help you out with that point -- Hillary using the "plantation" word not too long ago in Harlem. But in writing the above, are you absolving the Republicans of the same kind of dishonest debating tactics when the tables are turned? If so, I call BULLSH.T. Again, as if the right does NOT? How do you think your president got re-elected? Remember the campaign ad with the wolves in it? Constant ad-nauseum references to 911? Is that any different, let alone ten times more blatant, obvious and more insulting to peoples' intelligence than the fear tactics of the Democrats? Can't deny that the same exact thing applies to this war. General Anthony Zinni[/url], Shinseki, etc. calling for more troops, Rumsfeld saying no, and now we have a fiasco with no end in sight. How the hell is this any different??? Please, give me a break. Why does the left comprise many war veterans? And why is it a policy of the right to cut veterans benefits, let alone the fact that the right comprises so many war-dodging chickens? I mean NO OFFENSE by this Mr. Rush, but have you thought of giving the spell-checker a try? It makes for much easier reading.

  3. Have you seen "Why We Fight?" It's all about that. Check out this thread. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.
  4. Pretty much *everything* that you post here is from slanted news sources. So by your definition, any news source that presents news cooked to your liking is unslanted. And of course, any news source that presents objective FACTS that this administration would rather hide, is a LIBERAL news source. NY Post (of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., big coincidence that you would offer us this gem of an article, eh?) is a tabloid rag of the lowest form, and the best use for it is something for the bird to plop on. Don't you find that it insults your intelligence when news is cooked to your liking? Wouldn't you rather form your own opinion? Ever give BBC News a try? Yes, according to your Orwellian definition of "unslanted," which clearly reflects the Orwellian logic of Fox's "Fair and Balanced" and "We Report, You Decide," the above statement makes complete sense.

  5. Interesting test. My results... Economic Left/Right: -5.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.74 Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.
  6. Sam's club has tasty Hawaiian bottled water. I think there's a Sam's Club pretty close to Cross Keys. And FYI, you can also get three gallons of mayonnaise (yes, in one bottle!) in case you need some -- a friend told me so.

  7. Mind giving us a rundown of who won what matches? Did Jake use the DDT? Is Jim Duggan still carrying the 2x4? Kamala still got that spear? Any steel chairs/bloodshed? Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.
  8. The ex-klansman, xenophobe cowboy, religious extremist wing of the Republican party would never let Condi get nominated, end of story. I mean, this is the same wing of the party that beat out McCain in 2000 by spreading rumors that he had illegitimate black children. The same wing that the current administration serves/is. A black female presidential Republican candidate? As you said, And even if she did get the nomination, she doesn't merit the presidency. She's an abysmal Security Advisor/Secretary of State and that 911 Commission hearing proved how incompetent she really is (which qualifies her as a perfect fit for this administration). You're probably right about that. As usual, they would go into scramble/panic reaction mode, say all kinds of dumb sh.t, and end up shooting themselves in the foot, as they have done in the last two presidential elections. I don't expect that would change. Certainly can't argue with that, but being the moderate that he is jeopardizes his chances to even get nominated, since it's the extreme wing of the party that equates "moderate" (and he's a conservative moderate at that) with LIBERAL .

  10. Nor do they have REDNECK DIPSHIT RETARDS whoring their governments to the arms industries while preaching that gun ownership creates a crime-free society. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

  12. My mix-up. Flair used the theme for 2001; Ricky Steamboat used "Sirius" by the Alan Parsons Project, also a great choice. Hulk Hogan used this song as his entrance theme at one time? Scrap that idea then...I stopped watching wrestling in the late 80's, so the only theme I remember Hulk Hogan using was that pathetic "Real American" song. I wouldn't mind seeing a thread on favorite old-school professional wrestlers, that would be some fun reading.

  13. I know -- I was quoting you... Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.
  14. I would choose Iron Man by Black Sabbath just as the Road Warriors did back in the days of NWA wrestling. That one really made the crowd go apesh.t Alternatively, I thought the theme to 2001: A Space Oddysey that Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat used was a great choice too. Other choices would be "In the Meantime" by Helmet, very hard-hitting tune that gets ya psyched up. Oh one more -- Voodoo Child (Slight Return) by Jimi. that one, like the others has a way of building up in the beginning and kicking in like no other song can -- perfect for a grand entrance.

  15. That Hackett fellow sounds like the kind of guy that would get my vote any day. Pathetic that the democratic leadership would turn on him like that -- they probably felt threatened by someone who tells it like it is. Shame on Reid, and Schumer if he's responsible for it too. But realize that your party screwed McCain big time back in 2000, only in a much sleazier manner. It cuts both ways.

  16. I eat any of the following and love them all. I've seen others cringe at them: 1. Sea urchin 2. Gefilte fish (most people cringe when they smell it) with horseradish 3. Peanut butter, honey and banana sandwiches 4. Sliced bananas on lightly toasted ciabatta bread topped with extra vergin olive oil 5. Spoonfuls of wasabi 6. Avocado milkshakes 7. Raw eggs in wine first thing in the morning (a family tradition) Also, my mother was making me nutella sandwiches when I was a kid, back when nobody knew what it was. The idea of a chocolate sandwich used to gross people out in the cafeteria big time. It's funny to see how popular nutella has become. I've eaten some other pretty bizzarre stuff that would make most people cringe, but not stuff I eat regularly.

  17. You further the argument that Shrub is a dumb f.ck when all you have to counter it is nitpicking spelling mistakes. If you are convinced your president is worth sticking up for, try explaining to us why you think domestic wiretapping and eating away at constitutional rights of US citizens while turning over our ports to a United Arab Emirates -based company is sane domestic security policy.

  18. Cross Keys!! 20 minutes from Philadelphia, about 90 minutes from New York City, less than one hour from Atlantic City and other Jersey beaches... Not to mention that it's got a great vibe, you'll get heaps of jumps in -- even during the week, learn tons from some of the best instructors around, and will find plenty of people to jump with.

  19. Scarface is by far the best in my opinion King Of New York is also a great one (notice the character in my avatar?) Then the Scorsese trilogy is also up there among the best of them -- Casino, Goodfellas and Mean Streets Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.
  20. Sounds like something a Texas ex-governor would name a team. Seems like Houston teams just can't resist letting their oozing Texas pride get into their name, first "Houston Texans" (has got to be the absolute lamest name for a team ever) and now this 1836 thing. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.
  21. There are also plenty of teams in Europe with years in their names. The years in their names represent the year the team was founded. These are just some: TSV 1860 München (Germany) Spezia Calcio 1906 (Italy) A.G. Nocerina 1910 (Italy) Bohemians 1905 (Czech Rep.) even Japan has a couple -- Tokyo Verdy 1969 and Kobe F.C. 1970 I don't think any of the teams in Europe are named after historical years. In any event, it was a lame *business* decision by whoever thought of the 1836 name since it wasn't a very good year for Mexico and since a good part of the fan base will be Latino (albeit that it's lame that people would be irritated by it); a wise decision to change the name so as not to *risk* losing business because of it.

  22. They're probably changing the name for business reasons after they realized that Mexicans will likely make up a large part of the fan base since Americans don't have much interest in the sport...I doubt they would take that measure if Houston was to name a hockey team after the year 1836.

  23. About Catholics and worshipping Mary statues -- not sure if you've been to southern Europe, but there is some *serious* idolatry going on in those churches. Tons of Mary statues, statues of practically every saint in the book, people kneeling down before them... Irish Catholic churches are quite different though (at least the ones I've been to), much simpler and a whole lot lighter on the graven images, more along the lines of a protestant church. Perhaps it's a cultural thing. In any case, Catholics are Christians and I think the only people who question that are the evangelical zealot types.

  24. I suppose that would explain why Houston (#1), Dallas (#5), San Antonio(#8) and Ft. Worth (#10) are all in the top ten fattest cities in the USA, wouldn't it... Wonderful contribution Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.
