Now I’m picturing him doing a Buddy Cole monologue.

Oh, well… live and learn. You know, it’s hard for a faggot to take risks nowadays, but you’ve got to try! For example: you know that feeling you get when you don’t know whether it’s going to be a shit or a fart, but you let ‘er rip anyways?

Mr Cid you are a genius of observation. Keep up the good work.
I laughed for 5 minutes straight imaging the kewl kids at the salad bar.

N.O.

There is one right-wing joke that just never gets old for me, & I’ll gladly bring it up yet again:

HALF HOUR NEWS HOUR.
A solid hit – with the guy who sold them their laff-track.

Stewart handed Crossfire its own ass in no small part by pointing out that they were equating his show – made-up schtick – with their own supposedly intelligent & SERIOUS program. One can only dream that this cowpie of a non-argument can do for NR what it did for Crossfire. When a false analogy is your trump-card, you know you’re terminally boned.

Yes, the blow-harding and bias and herd mentality of the rest of the cable media are pretty bad. But outright deception?

Let’s see … Swift Boats For Truth … Nigerian yellowcake … WMDs … Mission Accomplished … Jessica Lynch, a little lady with a big gun … Valerie Plame, not a covert agent … McCain the Maverick … & if you want to classify omission as a form of deception, let’s throw in Mike German & Sybil Edmonds for fun. Those are just off the top of my head: give me an hour or two & I can cite literally hundreds more, just as easily fact-checked & just as loathsome. Not mere herd-mentality, not simple bias – but the merry willingness to only put down the proverbial shit-shovel in order to upgrade to one with a deeper bucket.

Retractions are sporadic & left until the last possible moment – & never ever come with a pink-slip. I work on an industrial site, & if I screwed up the way the media does, someone could get dead very fast. Unfortunately, sometimes this is also true when THEY do it.

Get a roomful of cats, set off the fire sprinkler. Should produce the same effect.

Please stop being so freaking funny! The caption you have affixed to the photograph above has caused a catastrophic nasal-coffee explosive reflux to foul my keyboard.

Thank you for listening.

But I like all that greasy American stuff. I’m off meat because living in a state with a lot of factory farms has made me aware of what a terrible idea it is unless you buy organic and free-range. I can’t say I don’t enjoy a huge pile of scrambled eggs with cheese and fried hashbrowns and a big ol’ stack of pancakes with half a pitcher of maple syrup on it. I’d eat breakfast at Perkin’s every damn day if I could afford it and if it wouldn’t mess with my (ahem) girlish figger. ;-) Oh, and if it wouldn’t cause me to clutch my chest and die.

That right there is reason to go.

They just opened up a Hooters in Campbell. Natch, I had to give it a go.

GREAT scenery, but other than the wings (which are pretty good) the food is crap city…

I’ve never eaten at an Applebees, but according to people who have, it would just be a waste of your money. The food is awful (and the portions are small)! My dining-out experiences are largely relegated to lunch, since getting decent food for dinner (something that doesn’t come from a drive-thru window) is prohibitively expensive. And even then, the food is crap from a nutritional standpoint – even restaurants which are a few steps up from the burger-n-fries variety only serve the rare vegetable, the food all comes through the industrial food-supply chain, etc.
