    Resolve isn't the question, justification is. On this date, Japan gave us as good a reason as there ever was to release the dogs of war. Iraq, on the other hand, has done nothing of the sort. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    That's a really good way to describe the Big 12 actually. Its on that level and is consistantly on that level across the confrence year after year. An unfortunate state of affairs, given your praise for collegiate football below. The semi-professionalization of college football and basketball (obviously more in some conferences and at some schools than others) has detracted substantially from the concept of student-athletes. That's why I give huge kudo's to Paterno, and will watch a Tennessee-UConn women's basketball game any chance I get. I still get into football and men's basketball, but the closer they get to "professional", the less excited I get about them. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Alright, I just got off a DD to Arlo and this picture came up in the conversation. She told me to post this in response. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I've got Nina Simone CRANKED right now. Fat black women who sing the blues but can belt it out with the best southern baptist choirs ROCK! [/self restraint mode] I wish I knew how it would feel to be free I wish I could break all the chains holdin' me I wish I could say all the things I should say Say 'em loud Say 'em clear For the whole round world to hear I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart Remove all the bonds that keep us apart I wish you could know what it means to be me Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free.....

    As of 15 minutes ago, I am again unemployed. However this time it'll only last till 7 AM Monday morning, when I start my new job. It's been ~1 year since I got laid off. I'm now look forward to most of my work, make ~60% more money, have an office 0.8 miles from my house, and get comparable to slightly better bennies. Getting laid off rocked!

Patron is better straight Do you drink watered down beers like Bud Ligh, Coors Light...anything Light? Only if forced to (i.e. when someone buys beer at the DZ) Do you ever swear that you will never drink again and ten minutes later grab another dirnk? No Do you have a rpoblem with dirnking? No Do you think you can outdrink anyone? Anyone? yes, Everyone? no Do you have unprotected sex when drunk. Yes In the shower? Yes Do you drink during lunch at work?

    wow. Is there a boogie close to there? lol Thats worth a visit! That's what I was thinking. It sounds like the dessert that I would want to try out the most from everything that I've read so far....sounds heavenly. (drooling emoction) It's absolutely incredible, at least if you think you'd like something that SCREAMS chocolate (as opposed to more mainstream treats that merely whisper it). I've taken a couple people there who thought it was a little too intense. I told them to let me finish it and I'd buy them something with milk "chocolate" in it on the way home.

    How am I suppose to bring that to a dz? ah well, like I said, I think I know what your guys' "REAL" treats are. Well, the first one is easy...go to a decent store, buy some good crackers, some cream cheese, and some jalapeno jelly. Find a bottle of cremant demi-sec from Veuve Clicquot, then take everything to a dz. The better one is tough. The easiest way to taste it is to come visit me. Alternately, I can talk to the chef and see about buying several servings in some sort of shippable packaging. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I do this all the time and then discretely try to flick the clippings into people's coffee cups. I'm getting pretty good at it too. I now make ~60% of them and have only been caught once. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Oh why bother? Slacking at the gym just means you'll get fat. Slacking at work just means you'll get fired. Slacking at skydiving just means you'll get uncurrent and die. You don't mind becoming a broke, dead, fat chick do ya? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Tomorrow is my last day at this job, going to work directly for my client on Monday rather than contracting to them. I went over and asked them what they'd like me to work on today and tomorrow, and was told to go surf the internet or do whatever I want, just make sure I charge it to a specific project. I think I'm going to go get my truck washed now. :-) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I've had a virus like that for 4+ years now, the "kak" virus. Norton & McAfee catch it & delete it temporarily, then next time I boot up I've got it again. Ran the downloadable patch from microsoft, didn't seem to do anything. So that leaves me with having to delete a virus every time I turn on my computer. The irritation factor is sufficient that I basically never turn my computer off. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Readily available? Good crackers covered with cream cheese & jalapeno jelly and a glass of Veuve demi-sec. mmmmmmm...happy mouth.

    Yeah, I've read that one as well (at dictionary.com), and by that definition I'm definitely a liberal. Unfortunately they also list By that definition I'm the opposite of a liberal. In my mind, "progress and reform" equals "there should be a law!", something that always seems to result in less autonomy of the individual, fewer civil liberties, and reduced protection from arbitrary authority. I'll admit that I've been a bit confused by the different definitions I've heard and read (these two seem a bit contradictory), not to mention the connotations invoked in everyday use of the word and its derivatives. I'll reserve my right to be wrong, however I like to be arumentative. :-) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Absolutely. Progressive reform of government that includes greater intrusion of government into the lives of its citizens is liberalism. Republicans and democrats are both liberal factions; they're simply beholden to different interests. On one side are the poor, the environmentalists, and labor forces. On the other side are the wealthy, the fearful, and the deeply religious. Examples of republican driven liberalism include the war on drugs, the department of homeland security, and the attempts to outlaw abortion and gay marriage. Examples of democrat led liberalism include gun control laws, affirmative action & hate crime legislation, and environmental protection laws. They're simply different sides of the same coin.

    Which in no way precludes them from being idiots... and has nothing to do my post, either, for that matter. Does the correlation between this fact and our presidential election constitute trickle-up idiocy? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    How about the Benny Hinn Ministries? (And other similar "charities"?
