Brilliant.

It's not just an accomplishment; some people view it as threat. If you can lauch a satellite, you can launch a warhead.

Then go back and check to make sure you got it all. Then check again. I lost all the sound recordings I had made of my daughter from when she was a baby by forgetting to back them up. It still saddens me.

I have to agree with Michael's last post. I've often said that the POTUS gets way too much credit when things go right, and way too much blame when things go wrong. That's the nature of being the top executive I guess.

There is no doubt it can get you elected. It only lasts for so long though, once you get into office. Hopefully Obama will show that he has more to offer, now that he has the reigns.

What's wrong with macaroni salad? That recipe didn't sound too bad to me.

I hadn't heard of this. Please tell me more. In great detail.

I like it fried up with potatoes and onions. Cube up the spam and potatoes, chop up the onions, and fry it up. Yum! Yeah Sgt, it's HUGE in Hawaii.

I think I'm a pretty brave guy. At least I call it brave; others call it stupid. Anyway, I'm not sure I'm brave enough (or stupid enough) to hike the "Caminito del Rey." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmDhRvvs5Xw. For the best quality click on the "watch in high quality" link under the video area.

I'm sure there are plenty of examples like that. BUT, there were also a lot of retirees around my part of the world who trusted this guy with 100% of their savings. They could certainly be accused of being stupid, and probably a little greedy; but, these people got screwed and I feel sorry for them. I wouldn't want to be in my 70's and suddenly see my life savings vanish. Screwing the elderly out of their savings is a pretty common occupation down here (Palm Beach, FL), unfortunately.

There is no question that that is fugly. There is one I think is even uglier though: the Honda Element. :eek:

Exactly. I enjoy bringing up the legalization of prostitution to the feminist (and others) who say a woman should be able to do what she wants with her body (they are normally saying this about abortion). Funny, whenever I ask them if that means we should legalize prostitution they suddenly change their tune. Same applies to legalizing drug use. If a woman wants to shoot heroin into her body, shouldn’t that be her choice? Usually they are against that as well. So when it comes right down to it, they aren’t really for a woman to have the right to do what she wants with her body. A bunch of hypocrites if you ask me.

I knew a guy who purposely ate his way out of the Navy. It took some time, but he finally got fat enough that they discharged him.

LOL!!! Nice one Canuck! It has felt like at times.

War heroes seem to fare very poorly when it comes to running for President. As to the second comment; that's why I usually don't vote for one of the two Republicrats that get put up each election. Unfortunately Americans are unwilling to look at a 3rd party. :mad:

Same here. My friend voted last weekend and had to wait 3 hours. :eek: I went right after work during the big rush hour, yet walked in with NO line and was out in a few minutes.

Thanks for the replies guys. I decided to sign up for 3 months. We'll see how I think about it at the end of my 3 months. So far I'm loving it. Now I need to see if I can find a good corp to join up with.

I'm just curious to find out if anyone on here plays Eve Online. I downloaded the trial and have been playing over the past couple of days. I may end up paying for an account when the trial is over. If you play, what do you think of the game? Edit: how the hell do you edit the title of a post? I'm not sure if I meant anyone, or anybody, but it didn't come out the way I wanted. Edit2: Thanks Moon!

The funny thing about that is that the "camel spider" isn't a spider at all. I had a golden orb weaver right outside my front door for quite a while. She was a pretty good sized one too, although not big enough to capture a bird in her web. My daughter and I actually got to like her, and even named her Jenny. I used to turn on the light next to the web at night to help lure food to her web. We would say hello and goodbye to Jenny whenever we came and went from the house. One day I had a guy here doing some tile work in my bathroom. Evidently he didn't realize we liked Jenny, so he killer her. I was surprised by how much I was saddened by her death. It still pisses me off to this day that he killed her. She was truly a beautiful creature, and I was happy to have her living outside my front door.

You guys know you can buy masks with fans right from the factory, right? You don't have to rig up some contraption. Even without a fan I no longer have any problem with fogging. Even playing a long game in a hot humid South Florida summer right after a rain storm I don't have any fogging problems. I bought an anti-fog paste that you apply to the lense. It's kind of the consistancy of a hard car wax. You apply it and then buff it off the lense with a clean cloth. I've played week after week after a single application with no fogging. Eventually you have to reapply it, but it seems to last a long time. Buying a mask with thermal lenses seems to help as well.

I got hit in the nuts last year. It not only took me out of the game, I was done for the day. In fact, I wasn't doing a whole lot of moving around the next day either. When I got home and checked myself out my sack was actually oozing blood. After that day the two guys I play the most often with both went out and bought cups. I'm still running around cupless though. I figure the odds are not good that I'll get hit there again any time soon.

This website makes a very good case for the theory that the Ewoks were driven to extinction by the destruction of the second Death Star. It's a shame that the rebel's actions caused such a holocaust.

UO was the only game addiction I've ever had. I finally quit when I lost my castle, with all my belongings in it, due to a stupid server crash (it erased my building refresh).

Wilhammer, I completely agree with what you said. I don't know how many people here have ever been charged with a crime while you had no money, but let me tell you, it's a real eye opener.

Well then, you are now a believer! You can put one in my backyard. I don't have a problem with it. Hell, I used to sleep within 40-50 feet of one; and, with my feet against a missle tube containing a missile with nuclear warheads on it. Living near a nuclear power plant isn't scary to me at all.
