  1. Making fun is kind of the point. Being funny is even better. Jokes, of course, are the crowning achievement of this "page", since it's not called The Official Jokes Section for nothing. I think I get it now, Norman Albers. It's a variation on Jon Stewart's joke about Bush getting re-elected, and at the inauguration Bush says, "I do solemnly swear..." and then so does 49% of the rest of the country. I didn't think the "sumbuck" part was racist or anything, I just didn't think it was a joke, but now I get it. It's back now. My bad. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ A young man is stumbling down a back road with a key in his hand. A cop sees him and pulls over. "Can I help you, fella?", asks the cop. "Yesssh, shombody stole my car!" the man replies. The cop asks, "Okay, where was your car the last time you saw it?". "It was at the end of this key", Edward replies. At this point the cop looks down to see that the guy's pants are open. The cop says, "Hey buddy, are you aware that you're exposing yourself?" The young man looks down and moans, "OHHH GOD...they got Julie too!!!"
  2. "Evolutionist" more or less implies a "belief" in evolution. Since evolution is one of the most thoroughly researched and documented scientific theories ever put forth, an implication that relegates it to some kind of faith causes simple indignation, no real psychological explanation beyond that needed. Science is interested in the natural, not the supernatural.
  3. Perhaps a cross between a human and a Firefox would give us a creature that is web-friendly, punctuates its sentences and is more easily read.
  4. Remember Pardongate? I remember being outraged that any president, even one as well-read and knowledgeable as Clinton, could make so many last minute pardons and commutations. Iirc, there were some that smelled pretty bad, too, like pardon me and I'll loan (wink wink) you some money to pay off your attorney's fees from your impeachment proceedings. And there were some bombers on that list that I felt deserved more than they got. I hate cowardly bombers.
  5. My favorite is the woman and her accomplice who rob a liquor store. He distracts the cashier, she pulls a gun, gets the cash out of the register and the two flee the scene. Then the cashier notices she left her purse, with her wallet and ID, on the counter. I tried googling a bit but couldn't find the video.
  6. I don't understand wi she would feel that way. That sucks. I feel the same way about cable. My sister in Spokane pays one fourth of what we have to pay in Denver. You think we'd get a better rate due to density. How about the four of you go visiting someone right in between your two apartments (in a prudish, non-whoring kind of way) and offer to help pay for one subscription that the three households can all use?
  7. I want to hug those two. Bad spelling and grammar are not cool. And lazy text speak is not cool. I'm buying their album when it comes out.
  8. You can't use only current conditions to form any conclusions. The two cities are on opposite sides of the Earth. Have you looked up any yearly averages?
  9. I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing it's some combination of your Reputation points and your post count.
  10. Please give us an observation or even an opinion as a starting point for discussion, Kedas, otherwise you're just reporting the news. That's not our purpose here.
  11. So you met with some resistance and now you're going to hide in the basement?! That's not how great ideas work. They are shared, discussed, refined. This is not a brave move.
  12. PlayStationX has been permanently banned for persistent trolling and ignoring explanations while continually asking for them.
  13. Dress up nice (no care bear shirts), put on a subtle cologne and your best smile. Start knocking on neighbor's doors and when they answer, say, "Is your Comcast access down? I can't get the internet for some reason." Hope for a cute girl and when she opens the door, you finagle your way into her wireless network (or whatever you kids are calling it these days).
  14. That's what a war on terrorism does. When you choose to fight a terrorist, you stoop to his level, you play his game, and he gets you to spend thousands of lives and billions of dollars for each one the terrorist spends. They should be as the dirt beneath our feet, diplomatically expunged by dealing with the governments in the countries from which they stage.
  15. The very instant the Admins decide to add new features, they tell the Mods, who, in turn, inform everyone about them. If you did not get the notice then there was simply a break in this protocol chain. Now, what do you mean by 'bookmarks' and 'similar threads'?
  16. It is not irrelevant. It tells members who is gone, for how long and why. That is not it's purpose. We have friendly impression threads for that purpose and a new member has most likely seen at least two before they get to Announcements. That is incorrect. As Reaper says, it is dated on each post, and it is correct to the best of our abilities to make it so. It will cycle as all posts do, even stickies. It will only be at the top until another sticky is posted to. It will go back to the top temporarily when another user gets himself banned and the thread is posted to. Disabling this function is counterproductive to the thread's purpose and inordinately difficult in terms of time and effort.
  17. Have your shoe sewn onto your trouser leg, your trouser leg split open so you can step out of shoe and trouser leg to lever yourself upwards while it looks like your feet are hovering. Don't let anyone stand in front of you unless they are in on the trick.
  18. The mighty skunk sprays, his miasmic victims scream: Mike, Angie and John.
  19. Keyes debated really well in 2000. I liked McCain better back then too, but Keyes kicked his butt and W's too. It was a shame that the clear loser in those debates went on to serve two terms as the worst president of my lifetime. In your opinion. If you want to provide anything to back this up, give me a definition of "battle for equality" that won't throw my own modest efforts out the window. It's a reality in much more of the country than when *you* were born. He's a welcome member in my family, and I *wish* he would move from three doors down to next door; I'm not a big fan of the family to the west, they never come to the block parties. I don't get the doctor example; even my whitest relatives have raved about their black doctors, but I could see their asses pucker if a transfusion came from a black blood donor. We're talking about depression-era Missourans here with all sorts of misconceptions about science and hematology. I live in Denver, so you have to phone for any cab you might take. They don't roam the streets looking for fares like they do in other cities, except in front of the convention hall and the stock show. Yeah, but you'd have to date your cousin and talk about NASCAR the whole time, so besides being brave you'd have to be stupid too. Think about what you're arguing for here. I don't like seeing figures like "at least 30%" without citing a poll or study, but hell, don't you realize what this means if it's true? It means that black people can still be president despite the burden of being raised by old white people!
  20. With military struggles in two countries and a country divided ideologically, it certainly throws him in the deep end of the pool just as he's putting his trunks on.
  21. That's weird. The logs show that three new members joined today using US Secret Service email addresses and the usernames Timberwolf, Trailblazer and Renegade. They joined, voted in this poll and now I can't find any trace of them ever having been here. I think someone's been influencing this vote in a big way.
  22. Ah, the Up-With-America/Rip-Off-Dickens plot twist. I was afraid it would cast Americans in a bad light. moviesandmusic1 reputation, subtract 10.
  23. I think American Carol was rated XXX. Is this thread a plug for the porn industry bailout?
