I'm not a fan of Bush, but throwing a shoe at the man is totally unacceptable.

While on vacation a few years back, I watched a Hairy Legs contest in which a bald, white guy in his early 30s got up on stage to show off his fairly hairless legs to the crowd. Each calf had a swastika tattoo on it. They let the guy participate in the contest right to the very end. And people actually cheered for him. I did not.

Raptors are majestic and have no place in this thread. Scavenger birds are better suited to this place.

...Mussolini was dancing to his own tune...or at least thought he was.
Michael
Which tune was that? All Out of Love, Making Love Out of Nothing At All, Lost in Love, The One That You Love...?
Air Supply of Australia...

Don't blame the Danes, blame the Chinese. In their quest to speedily kill everyone - yes, EVERYONE (even themselves) - the Chinese sell only the "best" melamine-coated, lead-lined, coffee brewers/canisters that $10 can buy. Hotels and the like can't pass up such a great deal and it's the unsuspecting, coffee-drinking masses who pay the price.

I think I get it, but it doesn't get me.

Wot 'e said.

Furthermore, those who get it, get it. Those who don't, needn't show their faces there.

Which is equivalent to 'meathead'.

Obscure All In The Family reference grog.
Or not.
Whatever.

Hey, Wilhammer, I got a giggle from your post.
John,
Bugged,I have two principal online haunts: the BFC Forums and Earth Boppin, with most of my attention there on Earth Groans. I have been coming here since February 2001 and have talked to all kinds of people, from all over the world, about all kinds of things. I find the range of perspectives extremely useful, but there has been a precipitous drop, I think, in the quality of discussions ever since the Mods practically abandoned the GDF, allowing the board bullies to practically take over and rule by intimidation, name calling and innuendo. I'm not perfect, far from it, but my default discussion mode isn't flinging poo squarely in someone's face while calling him names. I do make mistakes, and my oft poor memory, mental focus and crazy sleep cycle only compound the difficulties of communicating highly controversial (to them) concepts to highly reactive, actively resistant, sometimes vicious interlocutors. This, though, is a forum for civil discourse, within specified bounds, and I intend to continue to have such conversations, on everything from aa to zymurgy, whether those who despise me like it or not. Nor, in my view, does the board equivalent of screaming, yelling, name calling and worse constitute such civil discourse. I just got through demonstrating that my deriders are now in the minority on the UFO matter, and I can point to polls that show much the same regarding the American views on 9/11, the JFK assassination and more. Yet, somehow, I'm the crazy?
Regards,
John Kettler
You'll note that I did not call you a crazy. However, you continue to post on subjects that garner you the attention that you get - and you do it time and time again - then cry foul when it all blows up.
- You acknowledge in your above-quoted post that you disrupt this board.
- You cast blame on the mods for not moderating.
- You then go on to say you'll continue to post in this manner.
You throw the bait out and people take the bait.
What's your definition of a troll?
- You acknowledge in your above-quoted post that you disrupt this board.

How come people in this board still bother to hammer some rationality into the threads is even beyond me.
Yes, there's that too.
The futility of the excercise is amusing, though.I think it's a sport or something. From all perspectives, that is.
-
Many here would evolve as intellectual human beings if they took the time to discuss topics in a rational manner.
Is it even possible to discuss irrational topics (as demonstrated in a great majority of his posts) in a rational manner? I second what Affentitten posted above.
How come Kettler bothers with this board is beyond me.Indeed. My guess is that when you find the answer to your question, you won't be so quick to jump to JK's defense.

It's beginning to look like an old folks home in here.
Why just today, I was thinking it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Everywhere I go...

Pffft! I wave a spoon of cavier at you......
You really suck at food fights, don't ya?

There you have it, then. It is Saturday morning...roughly speaking, and I am alive, while Dalem is clearly dead. I look around. I see myself; I do not see Dalem.
I attribute my well-deserved victory to clean living, a light, healthful diet of pork, alcohol and radishes, and by the judicious use of my vote to support the Liberal Party. All of which has led to this glorious day, and a soon to be cooked breakfast of eggs, pig and stout.
While the outcome was never in doubt, I would like to say that my opponent fought a good fight, but was sadly competing in a league beyond his abilities. And, despite the brutal and savage taunting, which included over 45 minutes of randomly reading things to me off his bookshelves, despite my repeated protests, I bear him no ill-will.
As I move now to fill myself a healthful glass, I can only imagine the surprised and rather comical expression that must be on his face right now, as his soul arrives in Hell. Good luck to him, I say, best wishes, and mind the laughing demon with the instruments of torture behind you. Do not think of this as a 'defeat', Dalem, but rather a simple act of 'extraordinary rendition'.
What?I mean... what?
Best I can tell, we're dealing with a split-personality here. Seanachai occupies the right brain while dalem occupied the left brain. The stroke affected the left brain, ergo, dalem is now dead.

I know you all love my pics and can't get enough of them.
Au contraire. Unlike the subject in your latest pic, your posts are getting old fast.

... I suspect he's NOT sleeping indoors for a bit.
Joe
Brr, that sounds cold. 'Course, he could keep warm by sleeping in the hottub ...with the lid on.

We have a lot of Chinese immigrants where I live and it means nothing to them.
I think this is how the tradition of egging houses on Halloween night got started.
I maybe had a dozen kids come to my door. I sent a couple of them away though because their effort was so pathetic.I figure if they make the effort to get to my front door, it's worth some candy. Afterall, it's not as if I go all out with my own decorations at Halloween - one fake pumpkin on display doesn't exactly scream with enthusiasm. I'm hardly one to rag on the efforts of anyone else.

*sniff* i'm so benevolent in my old age
Is this because you are preparing for fatherhood? Not to start rumours or anything, but isn't it about time? *tick tock*

Coventry, Coventry, Coventry!!!!
Are you referring to the subject in the pic, or the BFC member who posted it? If it's the pic you're referring to, then I second that motion.

So over thousands of years where places have been highly enough populated there's no more bitey things left.
e.g. the most you'd get in the UK is a badger with a short temper.
Oooooh... I don't knooooow...
Just the other day I was watching a news report on how a type of black widow spider has taken up residence in London (and other European cities). Seems the spiders hitched a ride there in the containers of some imported fruit. Apparently the winters are no longer cold enough to kill them off.
They showed a man, who happens to search for these things as part of a study, walk to a bridge and point one out that was living quite comfortably, all nestled in the rock-work of the bridge.

Next time you are at a party or a family get together, ... women will discretely hint that they could make themselves sexually available to you. You ought to try it.
Michael
Er... Eww.
What's that you were saying about intelligent super-beings?

Even more ghastly than the Huntsman spider is the decor shown in the photo. Who puts a wall clock beside a window, like that? And the curtain rod extends out over the clock...?

What kind of whackjob treats a pen "like an old friend", and proceeds to write an 8 paragraph review of it?
I remember back when pens with erasable ink came on the market. The Southpaws always smeared their work and wound up wearing ink on their left hands. I wonder if they ruined it for everyone because I don't recall the pens being around very long.
I also remember when white-out (Liquid Paper) was banned from my school because of sniffers. And who can forget life before the invention of hi-liters, sticky-notes and computers.
Office life must've been hell for perfectionists prior to the '80s.
