  • Hard News: Smack to the Future,

    Like I said on another thread. I wonder how many people voted no because they think smacking is wrong and, subconciously, couldn't help but say no. Know what I mean?
    The picture of Larry Baldcock brandishing clenched fists is rather telling, "Comonnn, let me bash those damned kids now"
    Somewhere , a child waits, for a damned good thrashing.

    Sorry Steve,

    No worries, I pulled that "fact" out of my ass. I was surprised to find out how true it was. :)
    Referendum result,
    I wonder how many voted NO because saying yes felt like you were agreeing with the smackwits?

    By all accounts, other than those from the Pentagon, the operation in Grenada didn't go all that well.
    USA Today had this to say;

    When the United States invaded Grenada in 1983, it did not permit the media near the place during the critical first 2 days, and only a small pool of reporters was admitted thereafter. The media were hence forced to rely almost completely on accounts provided by the Pentagon. These described a smooth, successful operation, although in actuality intelligence was poor, supplies were fouled up, and confusion was rampant — all in the face of tiny, Third World opposition.

    US 1, Grenada nil

    Sending 10,000 heavily armed troops to an island that has a population of 100,000 is hardly a war, it is more of "a flagrant violation of international law"

    One thing that struck me about the wingnuts gnashing their teeth about Obama and all that he does and their totally batshit crazy fixation with his birth certificate, is the fact that they seem to get all their opinions from a media mogul that hails from Australia. Murdoch became a US citizen for the sole purpose of controlling a vast media circus which is now corrupting the thought processes of the feeble minded.
    Way to go morons, screw over the best presidential material you've had since Kennedy and follow, blindly, the whims of an Aussie drongo as he pillages your news and information infrastructure.
    No wonder the US has lost every one of its ill conceived wars since WW2.
    Clueless.

    I just think it's fucking stupid as hell.
    Use of four letter words would seem indicate otherwise?

    So Danielle should have said "I think it's fucking stupid as" ?
    Says the same really.

    Well. I for one think driving with digitally altered eyes is a bad thing. Not so sure about driving whilst stoned on weed, I think the cops already notice if you're driving a 15kph whilst giggling and chowing down on cakes and cheese and tomato sandwiches.

  • Southerly: I Was Dissed By Three Old Ladies,

    How many bourbon bottles do you normally leave on your front lawn?

    I'm glad you asked. Under normal cicumstances I would reccomend leaving no more than three as this may give your neighbours the impression that you are a heavy drinker and give you funny looks when you emerge from your house.

    And which part of the property gets the tequila bottles?

    Another worthy question. I have always favored stacking them under one of the many Agarves we have dotted about the place. This not only hides them from prying eyes but seem somehow ironic.
    Any other bottles, wine, beer etc. I hide behind Danielle.

  • Southerly: I Was Dissed By Three Old Ladies,

    Update...
    I was looking out of my window earlier, at my front lawn, and noticed a discarded Bourbon bottle, it was not one of my own. I was just about to go out there and dispose of the container in a responsible manner when I noticed it had gone!!! Geez, I thought, people are stealing litter these days.
