I had a smoke after reading that. Was it good for you?

ArgggHHHH!!!

North Carolina church to burn

I just shed. Sometimes I'll use the vacuum cleaner to pull out the lose hair or roll around on rough concrete.

I'm just hoping that we get away from the revolutionary communist rhetoric like wealth redistribution. The first SOB to start talking crap about the dictatorship of the proletariat and bourgeoisie, I'm getting my guns and heading to the hills. Frakking Marxists- you can't live with them and they won't get a damned job.

Awe how cute. That was better than puppies. Seriously.

Well... I'm real. Who else could or want to be as obnoxious, evil and cynical as me and be consistent about it? Who would want to be? Who else would take red hot needles and poke you in your misconceptions or occasionally kick you in your shaky premise? Some people call me the 's advocate, troll, a-hole but guess what? They are all right. It's my manifest destiny to piss you off if you are smug and think that you have it all figured out. As a veteran forum warrior I've seen the liars, the frauds, the cheats, the Walter Mitty's and horny old geezers hitting on kids and the kids pretending to be 14 going on 24. It's all a part of the anonymity that the internet provides. Some people will be real while others will lie like a clock. That's one of the cool things about this place. We've had several gatherings where our members have met in RL (real life). I've had the pleasure of meeting a number of people from the forums in RL. So... we know who is real and, given time, bullshitters will out themselves.

Like Duh... I'm from the SOUTH.

w00t! My computer lives! I got it running this evening. Sure, I like my laptop but it's just not the same. I had to replace my UPS. It was on the floor and got wet. Everything else I broke down and stashed in the attic. My recovery from the Halloween flood continues. I'm Ba-ack. Buh-wa-ha-haha Twilight readers... the next chapter will be released shortly.

send me the link... for an independent evaluation of course. *lears at monitor*

I'm in favor of knee-capping the twerp with a crow-bar but I'm evil and that won't work for everyone.

I'd want to skip the "Oops I crapped my pants" years myself.

An Italian favorite, bagna cauda is a warm dip of anchovies, garlic, and olive oil served with fresh vegetables as an appetizer. Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 5 minutes Ingredients: * 1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil * 4 to 5 cloves of garlic, peeled and microplaned or minced * 12 anchovies preserved in olive oil, drained and chopped * 1/3 to 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks * For dipping: * A variety of raw vegetables, including fennel, cauliflower, Belgian endive, sweet peppers and zucchini * boiled shrimp Also try adding shrimp and serving over pasta. YUM!

I know more than I care to about knee pain. I had an ACL repair back in the days before it could be done orthoscopically. I've got three scars: One 16", one 6" and another just a hole where they poked the orthoscope in just to have a look. Now almost 25 years later, I have a more accurate barometer than most weather services.

We're next door in Mississippi and I believe that we got the leftovers from the same storm.

I've never been one to let sentiment get in the way.

I have extra toes but that happens with pure breads sometimes. *purrs loudly, sheds on the sofa, does happy feet*

On the way home from work I got a frantic call from my Mom- "Help! I've got water coming in!" We have had one of the wettest Octobers on record and got a huge splash of rain Thursday & Friday: 6 1/2" in 14 hours. A creek near my Mom's house had gotten dammed up by logs and sentiment and flooded her garage and kitchen. I moved her car and fridge before it got wet so yeah! big win. I found where the creek was backing up and managed to break it lose. It drained off quickly and left me with an ugly mess to clean up. It was after 12 so I go home thinking its over right? Wrong. My house flooded too. Worse- it flooded in the living areas in the back. I've got a worse mess than my Mom's house. 2 inches of water makes one hell of a mess. First things first- I tear down my desktop and my hard drives and put them in the attic. with stereo gear, speakers and etc. Bad news- lots of stuff is ruined, I've got tons of drywall work to do. I've been running the washer-dryer 24/7 cleaning up clothes towels and other junk that got wet. I can't be sure how the furniture will take it. Best case, I might need to strip and stain some stuff. Worst case it' ll warp so bad, it'll be useless. I won't know until later this week. Thank goodness for my laptop! I won't be ready to put my PC back together until mid-week. It's a pain in the ass of course but nothing that we haven't prepared for. Katrina was a disaster. This is but a pimple on the buttocks of life. It'll cost me a lot of time and effort to clean up. The Bright Side: I get to redecorate my bedroom and will probably spring for some new office furniture so all it amounts to is a large nuisance.

How many times have we heard that something in our diet is about to kill us- oh here is a safe alternative that eventually turns out to be much worse. We've gone through this with eggs, milk, olive oil and butter. Maybe we should be a little more skeptical?

Jeez- this sounds like the back-story of a murder. I'm just saying...

Although I did not know your brother well, I can honestly say that I have never met an Aussie that I didn't like.

What McD's is really useful for is breakfast on the run. When I have to be somewhere at 7:00am, there's usually a McD's along the way that has a sausage biscuit and a jolt of caffeine just when I need it.

Meh... I consider Arby's fine dining. :king:

I usually don't wear a hat. I have all my hair and wore it shoulder length until a couple of years ago. I do wear a hard-hat on many job sites even when it isn't required. I've had 20+ concussions lifetime1 and I don't need anymore. ---- 1- some might say that explains a lot.

kurt- this is a lose-lose situation. it is only a matter of time before it explodes. back away from it slowly before it goes off in your face. JS
