Noen, were you around for the winter of 96? I moved into my house in January of that year. It was sunny and -10f the morning I moved in and we were all happy at how good the weather was that day. My dad called me the first night and told me to leave the cabinet under the sink open because it was heading down to -30f. I laughed and didn’t believe him but I sure wasn’t laughing a week later when it was STILL -30f. I worked in the Knickerbocker building then and parked over where the new baseball stadium is going. That was one LONG week.

Tyree, if by kicking ass you mean dealing with the cold, I’d have to say it’s an accident of birth. I can see the hospital I was born in from my office window and my house is less than 3 miles from here. If I had it to do over again I think I’d choose being born rich. Anyone can deal with cold weather long as you have mittens and a good battery in your car.

Leaving work in a few minutes and the advice from the office tech regarding my fried computer is that I should try to do recovery before I attempt any repair. See you guys again when I get a new computer. sigh

P.S. Gary, I think you were supposed to throw in something about gay people in there. Just sayin’.

Why do you think they hired Nicole Richie and Anna Nicole Smith to become pregnant? Its just like Louis Vuitton bags – if we see the celebrities carrying them, we’ll want to buy them!

The procreation marketeers ran into a little glitch when they rolled out the Britney Spears procreation launch. Kind of like New Coke, it was a flop.

That’s why they reinvented it with this year’s Jamie Lynn Spears line.

They’re still working on the edgier offerings, like the Paris Hilton version, but they have to make sure they’ve tested it for all known toxins.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK!

I guess we’ll achieve these goals without using laws because confiscatory taxes, no free speech(snerk), forbidden guns, and forbidden Christianity will make everyone happy? So happy they’ll happily give up their freedoms to be absolutely free? Awesome.

Aw, come on. You’re being rational. That’s no fair.

I’ve got a friend who refers to kids as “FT’s”; FT = fuck trophy. If you get a trophy, how could it possibly be MORE prestigious?

..and the problem with that is..??

[back to work]

I worked up a sweat shovelling snow last night at 10 degrees. Yea, 20 is really comfortable if your exerting yourself. In my younger days, I’d ride my mountain bike if it was above 20 degrees and if the roads were plowed wide enough so that you could ride without pissing off the car drivers into a homocidal rage. Dumping your bike on an ice patch is a drag though. You don’t fall over, you just go straight down when the bike shoots out from under you. Ouch.

That’s definitely a major problem. No one’s going to reproduce if we don’t make procreation more prestigious. Maybe we should give out medals or award tenure or something.

We call that the Declaration of Independence.

” It seeks a restoration (or achievement) of a state of nature, one of absolute individual liberty–universal happiness without the need for laws”

We were hoping the US Constitution would help us in that endeaver.

I can’t help with you that last huge-ass sentence, it’s filled with too much bullshit.

Yes, it was that odious liberal Newt Gingrich who proposed taking kids away from their parents and raising them in state-run orphanages…er…indoctrination centers. Thank god the LIEberal Gingrich menace was defeated!!!

Oh, and… big guy…when you forget and leave the quotation marks at the end of your Deep Thoughts, it’s just a red flag that you’ve stolen them from some other trogladyte. Leave it up to a winger to not even be bright enough to steal material from someone who’s sane or intelligent.
