  1. You're right. Similar to this obscure political party: http://youtu.be/cesSRfXqS1Q
  2. I have something similar or well I wouldn't call it a phobia but aversion/disgust is more apt. Something like this or this (makes me want to throw up) makes me feel very uneasy. Someone came up with the word trypophobia to describe it but the DSM doesn't recognize it. Wow. I had no idea this was so common. I am affected in a similar way. It does not make me want to throw up or anything, but I do have an aversion to it.
  3. Those things look like a lot of fun. Ride safe.
  4. Agreed. I was just getting a quick one in on Kallend. I think the biggest factor is poverty.
  5. The hypocrisy may get old, but it's always comical.
  6. "….Part of the explanation for why southern states dominate the “most dependent” category is historical. During the many decades in the 20th century when the South was solidly Democratic, its congressional representatives in both the House and the Senate, enjoying great seniority, came to hold leadership positions on powerful committees, which they used to send federal dollars back to their home states in the form of contracts, projects, installations…."
  7. Nope. I want to know what "old" people think. (I'm 54)
  8. My favorite station, other than NPR, is the local college station. I also used to own a Porsche. Brother!!
  9. I like it, but frankly can't relate to most of the lyrics and subject matter. I was wondering how many other "middle aged" people like it. Correction: I like a little of it.
  10. That does happen to a degree, but it has not made it any less comfortable. My biggest complaint is that it weighs a ton and is very awkward to handle.
  11. We've had one for over 10 years. It's one of the originals when (I think) there was only one choice. Seriously, this is one of the best things I've ever owned. It is hotter than a regular mattress, but you just use fewer blankets.
  12. I heard a commentator on NPR a while back that attributed lowering crime rates to the elimination of lead in gasoline.
  13. I did....my daughter buying beer for her first paid pack job last summer
  14. Agreed. I'm curious to see if they will be able to hold to that price.
  15. You live in America, Jerry - you can be any kind of god you want. As long as it's Christian. and male, and white. ah yes We got all the evils of the US in no less than two posts He missed one: From the South.
  16. One of my daughters is going to Ireland in June and I was wondering if American credit cards with magnetic strips, rather than the RFID chips, will work in Europe.
  17. What's the name of the inhalable insulin company?
  18. Another one is dramatized in the movie Hotel Rwanda. Very inspiring.
  19. $20 says he was gay. Any takers?
  20. I wonder what they charge for a resurrection?
  21. "...11 resurrections, to date." You would think that the word would have gotten around.
  22. Wow. That's the first time I've ever seen Rowan Atkinson being quoted.
  23. Cats?? You were doing well for yourself. All we had were mice, and they were anemic mice at that!!
