.......Frogs should stay clear of frying pans!!

...........I'm sure 99% of us thought the same thing when he folded himself in half, haha!! I thought his dad thought the same thing too!!

...............Poor Pepper, Lucy is some temptress !!

.........An interesting analogy of the gay movement, I'd concur with your analysis. It is unfortunate to have to agree that AIDS brought the gay movement forward in a giant leap. The fundies claiming G-d was raining down his wrath actually upset a lot of people, non-gays alike. Partners were denied hospital visits and estates were stripped from them, by the same families that threw them out for being gay. I would have to think that Matthew Sheppard's murder not only shocked the nation, but had a profound effect on the younger generation on the gay rights issue. We are reaping benefits from this and the next generation, the fundies will lose evenutally as they did with nthe civil rights issue in the '60s. I ramble and am off topic, I am both fearful of and yet applaud stem cell research, applaude the cures I see down the road, fearful that once they get hold of this 'power' they won't stop.

............The only plausible thing I can see is part of the island splitting apart and far enough away from the volcano, the separation could save our 'heros' from the toxic superheated gas and ash coming at them. Of course the 'shelf' would have to stop sliding completely, creating a smaller tsunami. If the resort is buckling and cracking up, what of the airport? The Scar may have stuck around to long and may not be able to get off the ground. I'm sure his mercenaries will understand, after all they heard the newscast by Helen and the General talking about the three bombs. They saw Yuri set a charge to one of the bombs, and it has to be in the back of their minds staring at only two bombs about the non-returning five men that were with Yuri and Scar.

....................I've already heard that from the fundies.

.............That sounds like good news!! Hope he recovers quickly!

........................ Holy Shit!!! The mother of all cliffhangers, how the hell is anyone going to survive that! Humm, will the scar really get away with it? I imagine Helen's last thoughts, "Who's going to pay us back our money?"

.....Ok, we have the city demanding right of ingress/egress of said once public right of way, but in doing so has relinquished the rights freedom of speech of the citizens to travel through it? Which is puzzling? If the land swap had been done properly, the land would have been owned, free and cleared without the city's objections with it's deed restrictions. By doing so, the city maintained a right of public right of way, yet it is allowing freedom of speech to be dictated by the Church within said public right of way? This is ludicrous, it is either private property or it is not. If the city maintains a right of way for ingress/egress for it's citizens in a deed, then the rights of its citizens cannot be relinquished by the a church on said right of way. In a nutshell the city has made a land trade with the church inclusive to allowing the public the right-of-way, but with with restrictions on their rights as citizens to traverse the once public domain. Sounds communistic to me!

..........Do they perform marriage ceremonies on this site?? If so, how will this work, no PDA!

........Huh? Luke from Desert Droppings. The dig on the goat was a joke!

...............Humm, my first thought was of a goat, quietly minding his own business near the cliffs, but I saw several GA members setting up a bar-b-que and changed my mind. Luke from Desert Droppings

...........If they refused to leave the LDS guards were within the law of having them arrested. However the law should be applied to all, and I'm sure scrutiny will follow this site and video cameras will show the true nature of this enforcement.

.........Eminent domain issue will be brought up if this isn't dismissed outright, this was a public sidewalk before the city did some sort of land swap. Usually legal language is kept in the deed to allow the public to use the right-of-way, therefore trespassing should be a mute point. Clearly this was a morale issue the church tried to enforce, if they claim that no public displays of affection are allowed on their property. The weddings they hold will have to be stopped, or enforced policy will have to apply to all. It does appear that the gay couple pressed the issue knowing that they were being watched as they strolled down the sidewalk, most likely hand-in-hand and one gave a peck on the cheek to the other in probable defiance.

..........Legal grounds maybe, but would they approach a str8 couple and ask the same?

.............The article doesn't make sense, one gave a peck on the other guys cheek, and LDS security DETAINED them. And they were arrested for trespassing????????

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSI!! ..............Happy belated one!!! I blame MRY and his minions for messing up the site!!

Happy Birthday Elecivil ........Have a good one!!

.............Tea time for the Tillerman eh? A mad dash down the rabbit hole is it?

........... .......The war between goat and frog, I'll bring the cookbook for the ending!!

.................That is a stretch for me, to much work, time and danger, I mean getting the nuke near a volcano is going to be dangerous enough. They probably only to need to be anywhere on the island to 'mask' the nuke explosion covering up the volcanoes eruption perhaps behind a large hill opposite the airstrip where Horst and the party are coming back from (that would be tense). The steady spewing of ash and smoke would probably be enough cover until someone did some real digging for the epicenter of the explosion. The real question is 'Will the explosion of the nuke relieve the volcanoes pressure or hastened it?' I love the countdown for the detonation, which one is it for?? Felicia is the key in securing the base, the Scars troops have no chance against Felicia's, Yuri and Scar may have killed their mercenaries too early as they race for the airfield. But the goats query into yachtsman in recent on GA turns the focus of escape for our 'heroes' in a different direction. Justice would be served if Scar is left handcuffed to his precious nuke while it is ticking, however that would make leaving the island by boat a suicide for the wedding party, the boat would have to be at least 20 miles away when it explodes to escape harm. The volcano erupting would serve a better escape route for the yacht (and a finer end for Scar as he watches lava rush at him). The US military has to be on standby somewhere near this mess, with the Echidna, errrrr! I mean the esteemed State Department official Mr. Graeme, after all the pencil pusher did make a bit of an embarrassment for the US.

.............. ..........That had to have been one hell of a fast weather balloon!!! The pilot that told me this story was at Indian Springs AF base and they chased the object along side of US highway 95 heading south towards Vegas. The object let them keep up for awhile, like it was toying with them, then shot straight upwards and was gone!

...........I don't know how that would explain trained pilots chasing an unknown that is verified by an air traffic controllers radar!
