  1. SPEAK PROPER ENGLISH!! Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  2. That is outta hand! I had never seen that stuff before. I loved the priest's reaction, and the father of the bride shaking his head "nonononono"! Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  3. Sorry about your loss of your friend. Yeah, they are magnificent to see in flight. Nowhere special to go, no job, no pressure, not even really any enemies... I like to sometimes lose myself in a fantasy while looking at them, like I could live a life like that, just gliding around with beautiful sights to see every day... Now, I'm waiting for the sucker punch, when you post a final pic that says, "Here's the closest picture I managed to get, are you sure this bird is a turkey vulture?" and it'll be a picture of you giving us the finger.

  4. That's exactly what it looks like, to me. We have them all over here in Florida. There's a building in downtown West Palm Beach that gets SCORES of them perched all around the upper floor windows. (About a ten-story building, a nice one, too!) And they're flying all around the thing, as well. It's pretty weird. Makes me think it's like the Rosemary's Baby building or some shit like that went on inside it. I mean, a building, being a hangout for vultures?! But yeah, they look just like that picture. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  5. 4th - Don't forget about the gun under your seat! Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  6. Dave, what do you know?! Take it from the one and only Chris Rock -- THIS is how to not get your ass kicked by the police! Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  7. Yeah, if the claim is being made that a phalanx of police just popped on into a house where people were doing nothing out of the ordinary, I'd like to read about that. Oh, they were just baking pie, right? Well, someone come up with some FACTS, please, before we just go on believing it was a gestapo act. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  8. Operative word, one of the few that you didn't emphasize, "can." It could be that he thinks that way, or it could be that he acts with class, all we know is what we see, all you know is what your imagination misleads you to imagine. The burden to "prove" conspiracies rests with the architects of said conspiracy..... go to work. You are under just as much burden to somehow "prove" that Obama's reticence is due to his having "class" as I am to prove that it's due to his knowing that he doesn't need to say personally say anything in order to benefit from the smearing that will probably be done by other Dem pundits. Why can't you note that I never said it's NOT because he has class, I said that it COULD JUST AS EASILY BE because of what I said? You STATED that he remained quiet because of class. You did not say, "Hmmm, maybe he's quiet about this because he has class." You said it was BECAUSE he has class. Now you attempted to flip this around and make it seem that I was the one who was making unequivocal assertions. You really are a fine piece of work, as someone once said to me.

  9. And if he left a gun under his car seat and a criminal stole it, he is not responsible for what the criminal does now with the gun. THANK YOU. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  10. She's all "there's nothing wrong with it," and I'm like, "Well, if it's perfectly fine then whip 'em out at the food court in the mall," and she's like, "Well, maybe I will," and I'm going, "So freaking do it already," and she's like, "You don't think I will," and I'm like, "You won't, 'cause you KNOW you're a fucking FREAK if you do!" and she's like, "What-everrrr..."

  11. Left hand between the 11 and 12 positions, right hand between the 12 and 1 positions. Did I not describe that right? Hey, man, it was just approximate, trying to say that they were up high on the steering wheel to be obvious to the deputy. And hey, you can't argue with the fact that it worked. He fuckin' thanked me! (and let me go with no ticket!) I've met my share who didn't seem to have much upstairs, but then I've also never been given a really hard time. Of course, I've never behaved like a real schmuck right there to a cop's face, either. Behaving correctly for the social situation can do wonders for the "cop problems" that a lot of people have, you know. To start with, I begin to have problems being empathetic to the OP's circumstance because wasn't it implied or stated that the reason for turning around was having been in a "party situation" prior to driving to the checkpoint? You won't catch me condoning any impaired driving. I could cite you a litany of good people who have been killed down here in the very recent past by drunken or drugged drivers.

  12. How much you wanna bet that when the NOLA evacuees return, they're gonna try to hit FEMA up for covering the costs of them clearing out of the way of a storm that didn't devastate their city the way everyone thought it would? "Waaahh, it cost me gas money! Waaahh, I lost time off from work! BUSH OWES ME!! Waaahh!!" Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  13. Um, it's not , and I didn't "show" it on this website in the first place. I think that family's NUTS. I also would love to challenge that lady and ask her if she'd be pulling this tit- er, shit, if she'd had BOYS. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

    CERN Rap

    The funny thing is, quality-wise it's a FAR BETTER RAP than most "real" rap. The lines actually RHYME. People will say, "Oh, well, rap is the new way we will have to 'reach kids' with educational messages." But really, who believes that the kids who like rap are going to be turned on to science by this just because the delivery is made "hip"? That just never works.

    CERN Rap

    This thread needed better marketing. Perhaps a little more info in the thread title stating what it's actually about! And yeah, did the turn-on date elapse already and we didn't all get sucked into oblivion? (Hey, that doesn't sound half bad...! ) edit: I just read on CNN, turn-on date is 9/10. ...Hold your breath!... Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  16. When the junior types talk to me, they use the formal voice. When they talk to their peers, they use their language most similar to their culture. The kids today seem to know transition than you give them credit for. Then why is it reported fact that they are submitting school essays and papers that are being rejected by teachers for being composed of this bullshit "l33tspeak" crap? For a while, they weren't in dictionaries. Maybe "fo-shizzle will be in the "F" section next year. More's the pity. No, it won't happen. Too Clive Cussler-esque. Civilization collapsing around because of people who don't have the initiative and drive to persue an education demanding to be in charge: too bad-fiction. The literate will be able to easily displace someone like that way before he rises to power. This is why I said that you folks are evidently IN FAVOR of the caste-system-esque thing we have going on right now. The low, street-folks who talk with dese and dem and dose and ain't and a'ight and foshizzle and "why you did dat" will stay low and NOT IN POWER all the while the educated "elite" will remain in power, and the Non-Star-Bellied Sneetches will continue to bitch that they are disenfranchised and KEPT out of the power loop... It just backs up what I was saying. I thought that YOU were saying that it's not a problem for them to remain ignorant and to talk fucked up. Nope. There is a right way to talk to people; to help them learn to talk correctly to certain types of people without insulting and pissing them off. If they are offended, it's because you offended them. But kids are not taught IN SCHOOL to talk in these bastardized ways. The books don't contain sentences to copy, that say, "Bobby, he try to climb dem monkey bars, but he ain't did dat before." Now, there are people who, if I were to go up to them and talk the way I normally talk (which some would call "educated"), would TAKE OFFENSE and probably mock me back to my face and attempt to affect my "accent" -- because of a mistaken belief that I am, just by virtue of being myself, trying to insult them. This is not because of what I am actually doing, but because of THEIR OWN IGNORANCE. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  17. So you really feel that the reason people are protesting is because the majority of American travelers are being placed on no-fly lists? Or can't afford gasoline? Or just can't afford gasoline PLUS their LUXURIES and INEFFICIENT, BEHEMOTH FUCKIN' PILE-OF-SHIT VEHICLES?! Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  18. You are straying farther and farther out into La-La Land, my friend. If this stuff happened about the liver transplants, IT WAS NOT THE [I]LAWS[/I] THAT DID IT! Or else, SHOW ME THE LANGUAGE IN THE LAWS THAT SAYS, "IF YOU CAN PAY MORE, YOU GET TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE"!! You keep saying, "The LAWS are uneven, the LAWS favor the rich." You haven't shown us a single law that, as written, does what you speciously claim it does. P.S. There are whites who get arrested and imprisoned for crack cocaine crimes. You can see them in the crime/arrest blotter link found on palmbeachpost.com Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  19. All you have managed to do is show that the supposedly better, European, countries have managed to make a system where there truly IS a set of laws for the rich and for the poor. You stated it unequivocally! The rich pay a higher fine than the poor do. The American system has the SAME penalty for everyone. This presumes that everyone has had the same opportunity to get into a position to afford it. If you can't afford it, you should have worked harder to be a success. (Not that the measure of success is how well you can afford to pay the fines when you break the law, mind you.) Also, EVERYONE has the same ability to abide by the law. That is non-discriminatory in the first place. You proved the CONTRARY to your own assertion. Congratulations. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  20. Yeah, and then it fails. Are you voting in the American presidential election? And for whom are you voting? I'm really interested in knowing (if you are voting in this election) if you are planning to vote for Brian Moore, of the Socialist Party U.S.A., or Roger Calero, of the Socialist Workers Party... ...or Barack Hussein Obama, of the Democrat Party, who does not avow being a socialist. See, if you're voting for Obama, and you also avow that you want Socialism because it's just the greatest thing since having the government bake, slice, and butter your bread for you (and perhaps even chew it), I would begin to think that maybe it's because there's truth to the accusation of him being a socialist. As "corrupt" as you might believe the American Capitalist system is, has it ever been AS corrupt as we know the Soviet Socialist/Communist system had been? (and, um, still is?)

  21. Please watch this video and then vote and tell us if you agree that this is fucked up, disagree and think it's not fucked up, or are undecided (and why). I personally think that this lady and her kids are abnormal. I think that there's a dysfunction going on, here, although I'm not qualified to diagnose its exact nature. Let me know what you think.

  22. You didn't find this "advert" in the "bolor supplement," did you? Sorry, I can't say the letter B. It's part of a trauma I suffered when I was a sbhoolboy. I was attacked by a bat. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

    Dinner

    I agree. Fresh mushrooms only! As for "safe to eat" -- ideally, you should have cooked the chicken first. In order to make the chicken cooked to a safe temperature, you'll probably have to have totally cooked the shit out of the veggies. When I make stuff like chicken quesadillas, I pre-cook the chicken on a George Foreman grill, cook the mushrooms/onions/peppers separately by sauteeing, then add them together once the chicken's diced. Be very careful about cross-contaminating your utensils and cutting surfaces when preparing chicken. You do NOT want to be SHITTING BLOOD with CAMPYLOBACTER. I had it in college, and was told I probably got it from chicken (I ate a lot of takeout hot wings in those days). Woke up with terrible gastric pain, and felt like I was gonna die. Persisted more than a week, and university med staff got me prescription antibiotics that cleared it right up. But they say that strains are becoming antibiotic resistant, which I hope does not mean that future victims are going to die via shitting blood for several weeks. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Except maybe Obama. Hahahaha!... j/k Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
  25. Even Shotgun admitted she should have put in more info... My title said more about what you were gonna see... Nyah! Besides, this thing is clever enough to deserve another mention after two weeks. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire
