Pelosi exempts a tuna company in her district from the minimum wage legislation. Yep, them Dhimmicrats are going to end corruption.
“House Republicans yesterday declared “something fishy” about the major tuna company in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco district being exempted from the minimum-wage increase that Democrats approved this week. ”
Can you be a cool mom if you’re overweight? Is it possible to be hip while you’re carrying around a wriggly toddler — and 25 extra pounds on your rear end? Are you a happenin’ mama if you’re not as thin as you were B.C. (Before Children)?
“When you’re heavy, it’s hard to find the kind of clothes that express who I really am inside,” adds Peterman, a married mother of two. “It’s ironic that at age 37, I have a much more clearly defined sense of who I am. But it’s incredibly frustrating to realize that so many of the clothes I like don’t come in my size. I feel like I’m so much hipper than how I look.
This week, American forces in Iraq conducted at least two raids against suspected Iranian operatives, including the raid in Erbil. The United States is currently detaining several individuals with Iranian passports who were picked up in those raids. The Iranians have said that they were in the process of establishing a consulate, but American officials said that the Erbil operation was a liaison office and that the workers there did not have diplomatic passports.
So no, this does NOT represent Bush trying to escalate the war by provoking the Iranians.
The Iranians, however, are provoking US by bringing money, bombs, bullets, and personnel into a country they have no business being in and killing people—including innicent civilians and American soldiers.
anyone who says that ANY President should not take the steps represented by this and otehr raids is truly giving aid and comfort to an enemy that is killing american boys. I could give a crap how loudly they scream that we shouldn’t “question thier patriotism.” To me, saying we should stop people from kllling
American soldiers is definetly unpatriotic, I don’t care how thinly you slice it or what justification you use.
Unless, of course, you define provoking the Iranians as preventing them from killing American boys—and girls.
Number 9 - Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Number 8 - Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.
Number 7 - Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks.
Number 6 - Some people are like a Slinky…not really good for anything, but you still can’t help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.
Number 5 - Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Number 4 - All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
Number 3 - Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents?
Number 2 - In the 60s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it look normal.
AND
THE NUMBER 1 THOUGHT FOR 2007 - We know exactly where one cow with mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America but we haven’t got a clue as to where millions of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.
And can anyone explain all the hype about the cold front? As I understand, the freezing temperatures won’t last all day, so the ice that forms in the morning will not last. Yes, it may be an inconvenience and a danger hazard for a few hours, but haven’t we weathered ice storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, heavy rain, and scorching heat before? This is nothing like the ice storm of ‘99, where it was frozen for days (my husband the plumber nearly froze his hands off in that one, working with the ice hanging from is moustache - now gone - and courting pneumonia with every broken pipe).
The cold is coming. Care for plants, pipes, and pets. Story over. Get over it.
This is interesting. It answers a few questions I had about our nukes, and where we are going in the future. Looks like SAC was not totally shut down, per Wiki. It is now Strategic Command covering all nuke devices, including all forces.
Fair warning to all the yankees….We DO NOT know how to drive on icy stuff! Watch out especially for me!
I like it when they say Wicked Weather….

Perhaps it’s a marketing event? When I did my weekly marketing run, I thought I was being smart by not waiting til tomorrow, when they are saying it’s likely to rain up here in Monkey Co…. but from the looks of WalMart and HEB - you’d have thought a Cat. 5 hurricane was 100 miles off Galveston, and heading this way! Anyone remember the “King of the Hill” episode where they’re getting flooding rains, and some of the shoppers at the MegaloMart were swarming selfish people who actually had something in their carts? It was ALMOST that bad - and I’m chalking it up to the hype on the boob-toob!
The following is a list of common troll styles. This list should not be considered exhaustive, as there is not way to predict what those pesky little trolls will come up with next. However, here are some typical and widely used forms, the names of which have been coined by the author:
2a) The STRAIGHT UP BASSHOLE FLAME TROLL- Easy. The troll will post a message with a very inflammatory header that will guarantee furious response
2b) The CLUELESS NEWBIE JOKE TROLL- The troll will either post a new message or follow up on a previous thread with a funny, usually blatantly incorrect or ironic header, and a witty or outrageously stupid body.
2c) The HIT, RUN AND WATCH TROLL- The troll will drop a single post with a disagreeable header and creative content, then sit back and watch the thread run it’s course.
2d) The CONFIDENCE or TACTICAL TROLL- The troll will begin by posting a few messages in a given NG that are on-topic, if not slightly over-the-top. Methodically, the troll will begin writing the messages to be a little more sarcastic, silly, or even more over-the-top than the last one, until the group finally catches on that the poster is a troll. By that time the troll has had plenty of fun, and can go on his/her way to the next group.
2e) The CREATIVE CROSS POST TROLL- The troll will select two or more NG’s where the groupers are already against each other, and start a fight between them.
Another great benefit of our uninvited southern guests-
“”"Medical professionals in South Texas have identified another disease that has apparently slipped across the border – caused by a rare brain worm that can be fatal and is being spread by unsanitary food-handling practices. “”" http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53761
So the choices of deseases are increasing which would you prefer from underdeveloped countries? Make we could make a game show of that!
For the first time, the Pentagon released the figures of US and British casualties in Iraq from the extra-lethal explosive devices manufactured in Iran: 198 dead and more than 600 wounded. These devices are smuggled in through the southern marshes and along the Tigris River.
The Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff told Congress Friday that Iranians are now on the US target list in Iraq. He spoke of an “aggressive ground campaign” against Iranian networks operating inside Iraq.
Moonbats, of course, claim that we are “provoking” the Iranians by targeting them inside Iraq for killing 198 American and British boys and wounding another 600. Since the EFB’s they are providing started coming in near the end of 2005, this represents a substantial proportion of US casualties since that time—american boys who would not be dead or mamed no if the Iranians hadn’t goten involved. In other words, without thier interference, we’d be winning now instead of in a stalemate.
The also claim THIS is “provoking” the Iranians:
Pentagon has also referred to possible cross-border raids into Iran, but so far none has been approved.
snip
Attempts to disrupt these networks combine with the decision to send a second aircraft carrier, the USS John. C. Stennis, to the Persian Gulf as a warning to Iran plus a Patriot air defense missile battalion to the Middle East and the deployment of a large number of warplanes in the Turkish base of Incirlik. A US military spokesman has said the two carrier strike groups will not just be showing force but actively involved in combat operations and providing air support across the region. Thursday, US forces detained five suspected Iranian Revolutionary Guards members operating out of the northern Iraq town of Irbil in Kurdistan.
Now that last would be the raid that the Iranians sais was a consulate—then later said it wasn’t.
Me?
If the President is informed that ther’s a warehouse full of bombs and bullets just across the border in Ira scheduled to be delivered into Iraq so that more American boys and innocent Iraqi children can be killed, I am going to be supremely pissed if a JDAM doesn;t hit the site withn a couple hours of his knowing about it.
That IS NOT escalation of the war. It’s a DESCALATION of the violence within Iraq that would be caused by illegal Iranian interference.
The moonbats are preparing to make this a big issue. Apparently, as they did during Viet Nam, they will do anything to insure that we lose–so that they can later call the “Troop Surge” a failure.
Look for pictures of Sean Penn or Madonna sitting on an Iranian Anti aircraft gun in your magazines soon…….
Trolls are like gators (not Gators). If you start feeding them they associate sane people with food. Sooner or later they’re gonna eat your hand, your dog, or your children, because to them, you’ve become just another food source. Then you’ll have to call in a professional troll wrangler to take them back hence from where they came, to their home amongst the muck and slime of the swamp. Best thing for them and you is to let them get hungry, realize there’s no feeding here, and go elsewhere.
Btw, for some unknown reason gators love marshmallows. Go figure.
Huh, I’m thinking Prez Bush doesn’t like NOLA. 1st he sent his weather machine to bring a hurricane to it, then he sent another one to Texas to try and get rid of them. Now he sent killer bees. Darn GW is batting zero…
It works, and explains a lot about one of my co-workers who relocated here from St Bernard parish, after K. How was I suppose to know that he’s the hybridized version?

if that warehouse is just inside the border we can always play dumb about the bomb and say that we did not realize that it was in Iran, but then all we do is keep good video footage of the fireworks show that happens when it goes off to prove that we “oops hit one of your munitions dumps that is close to the border” sorry you should not keep explosive so close to potential combat areas if you are not willing to lose them…

Ya know man all that shows me is what I have always known.
1. All clergy (and I do mean all) are m - e - n subject to all the foibles and temptations just like the rest of us.
2. Personal responsibility dictates to check out who we choose as our spiritual leader.
3. When a so called spiritual leader falls the media has a habit of throwing everyone into the same basket.
4. At the end of the end of the day I trust my preacher till he proves me wrong. At which time I move along and refer back to numbers 1 and number 2.

if you must respond to a troll posting, don’t get involved in the argument; limit it to pointing out that the posting may be considered as trollish, for the benefit of other members.
Neo, you are s’pose to be in a Nyquil coma with chesty rubby stuffy on, with your head underneath the covers…Now git to bed! (sorry, the mom in me came out!)
C’mon, the troll is using stink bait. Can’t I nibble? I’m hungry, dang it!
Trolls are not healthy, they won’t get healthy, they don’t want to get healthy, and keeping them near you will eventually let them harm you. Treating them as if they were healthy just makes matters worse. For instance, if you respond to such a person’s destructive acts with patience and understanding, he or she will learn you respond to destructive acts with patience and understanding, and this will encourage more destructive acts.
BSue,’Cause I don’t have my kids this weekend, it’s pouring outside, my house is clean,the animals are fed, my ex-neighbors are having a party without me, I have a buttload of marshmallows (that haven’t been toasted on my bonfire,cause it’s been too wet to burn), and I ain’t got nothin’ better to do?
ST - you could go gater fishing with the marshmallows, according to Hamous ;0) Perfect weather for it?
I need to be cutting the pieces for the border of my NY Eve mystery quilt - maybe a cup of hot tea will get me moving that direction.
Oh - and what happened to your ex-neighbors? Did they float away?

The Bouffant boy, not Kim Jong has another headline
AUSTIN — Energy provider TXU Corp. and a Houston construction firm with a state contract to help build toll roads across Texas are among the companies paying most of the $2 million tab for Gov. Rick Perry’s inaugural celebration this week.
BSue, it’s Moonshine Hill, for goodness sakes! The houses that are left have been bolted to the ground or on stilts with hurricane clips. We always look out for each other. After the next FEMA (aka Harris County Flood Control District, who gets their funds from FEMA) buyout, there will only be 3 houses left that did not take it. They will be screwed by eminent domain, rest assured. I do miss the hood, but not the flooding. Fixin’ to e-mail you…

I am simply providing a public service with my Public Service Announcements. There is no hidden agenda or meaning. Just trying to be helpful that’s all.
Besides I have a 10th degree blackbelt in Trollfu so I felt it my responsibility to share my vast knowledge of Trolls….having participated as one myself…..ya know.
I am simply providing a public service with my Public Service Announcements. There is no hidden agenda or meaning. Just trying to be helpful that’s all.
1) Feed the troll.
2) He (or she) associates you with warm fuzzy feelings.
3) Troll follows you home.
4) You tie up troll. If it’s a boy troll, make him wear pink underwear and a mop for a wig. Nothing else. If it’s a girl, make her fix your 1979 Buick that’s been sitting still since 1985. No new parts allowed. Until she is covered in grease and cries. Take pictures.
5) Show the troll how silly (or any other adjective that fits) they are and threaten to show all their friends, if they have any, otherwise threaten to show their boss - if they have a job. If no friends and no job, then threaten to show their mother. If the mother doesn’t give a rat’s a$$, then simply keep troll tied up and read Bush’s press releases to them or the book about him “A Charge to Keep” until he pees on himself.
6) Release rehabilitated troll into the wild.
7) Repeat as necessary until all pesty trolls are removed from your environment. Take a vacation, you’ll have earned it!
Talking to trolls is like talking to ex-wives. No good can come out of it. If you are wrong you are screwed and if you are right they will twist your words till you are screwed (especially in front of a judge). They never admit they might be wrong and blame you for everything that is wrong in their pathetic little world.
Speaking as a wife (not an ex, just a regular one), I have to correct you. Actually, speaking as a woman, I must correct you. We are ALWAYS right. It is simply the way it is. Accept it.
Which reminds of one of my favorite jokes: If a man speaks in a forest and nobody is around to hear him - is he still wrong?
I wish Roger Clemmons would just go away. He is going to play the “I don’t know if I am going to play this year and if I do it will be in May or June” crappola leaving the Astros in a bind once again.

Logging off. Been up way tooo late too many nights lately. Have a good evening, all! Lock your doors and windows so the trolls can’t sneak in while you sleep.
Took a trip out to a birthday party for a friend of mine who is turning 38 and whining about how old she is. It is to laugh, no? (Side note - Despite the name, an Ice House in Midtown is not the same as an Ice House in between Willis and New Waverly.) She past out before 10pm and the 48 year old is still going. I’ve always told my older friends, “You may be older but I’ve been awake longer.” What is the problem with this younger generation? They cain’t hang!
In response to earlier posts:
44. Go Jim Dandy! Go Jim Dandy! (are they really still around???)
71. Like child molesters, trolls cannot be rehabilitated. You must remove them from the general population.
74. BSue is in a unique position. She’s an ex-wife and a current wife to the same ex-husband/husband. How does that fit into Squawkie’s Troll/Ex-wife postulate?
Notre Dame, Smotre Dame! The most overrated team in the history of college football. We don’t need a playoff.

Don’t feed the trolls. Without something to eat they will either starve or go somewhere else to see if they can get someone to feed them. See Hammy’s post #36.
Hmmmm, seems like Nancy Pelosi’s 100 hr clock has a snooze button on it. As for the 5 day work week, it hasn’t happened yet. This Monday is another prime example. Do I need to mention last Monday’s day off for a football game?
WASHINGTON - The clock is ticking for House Democrats, but it’s hard to tell what time it is.
On Friday, for example, the House was in session for a little more than eight hours. Only five of them, however, ticked off on new Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record)’s 100-hour clock for quickly passing a six-bill agenda that Democrats promised voters last fall.
snip~
So while the House had been in session for nearly 56 hours since the 110th Congress was sworn in Jan. 4, the clock on Pelosi’s Web site suggested that less than half that time — 23 hours, 34 minutes — had elapsed by the close of business Friday.
#95 I never did like snooze buttons - usually would find myself laying there waiting for the thing to ring again, and feel silly because I was doing nothing - not sleeping, not waking, nothing… Come to think of it, that sounds pretty familiar!
And I must comment on the Open Comments picture that I’ve been trying to ignore since yesterday. I have to wonder if there is a flea collar in there somewhere????
They are also going to be very active on the “Escalation of the War” crap. The new claim is that Bushitler is “provoking” the Iranians and Syrians wo “eiden the war.”
They just love all those words that can be associated with Viet Nam
Hey. God is helping you quit smoking (the cold). Happy Birthday. Dont forget to tell Joe I said hello.
The trip back to Spicewood was hell. Rained dogs and dogs. No cats.
To everyone at the Shakefest I had a great time. It was nice to finally meet Sarge, I was afraid he might judge my long hair. LOL BigJolly was much younger than I thought he would be. Liz is great. Sarge is lucky. Hamous is cool. The beard works. Iranian? Nah although you may get the once over at an airport. Jimb was almost as I had imagined.
Southerntragedy I will get those shirts in the mail Tuesday since Monday is MLK day.
I originally thought Smacks bought my Blue Moons but at the end of the night they said Wino caught the tab. So thank you both since I think Stags got the doubler. Blue Moon was refreshing to say the least. I never finished my cigar.
Wino, one of my brethren just won a huge case against the Instant Robbery Squad via CtC. I’ll send ya the info when I get it.
I just went back and got up to date on Fridays somments. Katfish…yes they are mostly liars. Keep voting but in the case of Perry he is consistently lying and spitting on us. Hey I dont like spit on my face. But I do understand your point.
Hamous, I never said Ron Paul was the perfect candidate but on the biggies he is on the right side. Abortion is wrong. My bet is most politicians tell us they are pro life when they arent or dont give a rip.
Wino, I agree.
BTW, I think Tancredo just put his hat in also.
Lets see…Ron Paul or Judas John McLiberal? Ya’ll said the primaries is where we make our pick not the general election. We better pick a winner and not a commie.
The primarys is where we pick our canidates. Now is the time we must be involved to insure we have good canidates to support. You probably know that, but I mention it anyway for those that do not.
To all that were there at the Shakeyfest™, I really enjoyed meeting you guys. Thought about just lurking around like I do over at Headshaker.com! Tried logging in over there to tell you guys but we are having a few technical issues, so I thought I’d drop a line here.
If memory serves me correctly, Old Waverly is east of New Waverly off of I-45. You exit the same exit as if you were going to New Waverly. Head east (if your male). (If female, turn right after you exit. That was a JOKE). Go past New Waverly. I think Old Waverly used to sit on the Walker Co.-San Jacinto Co. line. The only things that are there to mark where the town used to be are the Old Waverly Cemetary and an historical marker. (I went there once during halloween in high school with some friends. There are a couple of ghost stories associated with the town).
#117 - C P, that is correct. Its right around where FM 1097 dead ends into 150. I just wanted to see if anyone else knew. I lived there for a while in the 80s.
Big Jolly and others, this is what I meant the other day in the “surge Redux” thread:
KURTZ: Pam Hess, has the sending of 20,000 additional troops gotten a fair hearing in the media or has it gotten caught up in this wrenching, emotional debate about whether the war itself was a mistake?
PAM HESS: I think it’s gotten caught up about it, and the debate about it is actually all wrong. What reporters know and what Martha says is that 20,000 really isn’t that big — isn’t that big a jump. We’re at 132,000 right now. It’s going to put us even less that we had going in going across the line.
What we’re not asking is actually the central question. We’re getting distracted by the shiny political knife fight. What we need to be asking is, what happens if we lose? And no one will answer that question. If we lose, how are we going to mitigate the consequences of this?
It’s so much easier for us to cover this as a political horse race. It’s on the cover of “The New York Times” today, what this means for the ‘08 elec

WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF TROLLS?
The following is a list of common troll styles. This list should not be considered exhaustive, as there is not way to predict what those pesky little trolls will come up with next. However, here are some typical and widely used forms, the names of which have been coined by the author:
2a) The STRAIGHT UP BASSHOLE FLAME TROLL- Easy. The troll will post a message with a very inflammatory header that will guarantee furious response
2b) The CLUELESS NEWBIE JOKE TROLL- The troll will either post a new message or follow up on a previous thread with a funny, usually blatantly incorrect or ironic header, and a witty or outrageously stupid body.
2c) The HIT, RUN AND WATCH TROLL- The troll will drop a single post with a disagreeable header and creative content, then sit back and watch the thread run it’s course.
2d) The CONFIDENCE or TACTICAL TROLL- The troll will begin by posting a few messages in a given NG that are on-topic, if not slightly over-the-top. Methodically, the troll will begin writing the messages to be a little more sarcastic, silly, or even more over-the-top than the last one, until the group finally catches on that the poster is a troll. By that time the troll has had plenty of fun, and can go on his/her way to the next group.
2e) The CREATIVE CROSS POST TROLL- The troll will select two or more NG’s where the groupers are already against each other, and start a fight between them.
But Squawk, can we feed ‘em? Especially after midnight? huh? Can we? Can we? Please?
#29 Southern, it’s the only humanitarian thing to do - especially when it’s icy outside, after midnight. Sigh… does that really mean we have to wait?
I made my post as a Public Service Announcement nothing more. It is a bit slow this pm.
BSue, thanks! You know I’m a suckka! I hear they get really evil after midnight….
Check this out! You get PAID to kill coyotes? Hmmmm, I wonder what they taste like. Probably dark meat chicken.

“”"Medical professionals in South Texas have identified another disease that has apparently slipped across the border – caused by a rare brain worm that can be fatal and is being spread by unsanitary food-handling practices. “”"

So the choices of deseases are increasing which would you prefer from underdeveloped countries? Make we could make a game show of that!

Moonbats, of course, claim that we are “provoking” the Iranians by targeting them inside Iraq for killing 198 American and British boys and wounding another 600. Since the EFB’s they are providing started coming in near the end of 2005, this represents a substantial proportion of US casualties since that time—american boys who would not be dead or mamed no if the Iranians hadn’t goten involved. In other words, without thier interference, we’d be winning now instead of in a stalemate.
The also claim THIS is “provoking” the Iranians:
Now that last would be the raid that the Iranians sais was a consulate—then later said it wasn’t.
Me?
If the President is informed that ther’s a warehouse full of bombs and bullets just across the border in Ira scheduled to be delivered into Iraq so that more American boys and innocent Iraqi children can be killed, I am going to be supremely pissed if a JDAM doesn;t hit the site withn a couple hours of his knowing about it.
That IS NOT escalation of the war. It’s a DESCALATION of the violence within Iraq that would be caused by illegal Iranian interference.
The moonbats are preparing to make this a big issue. Apparently, as they did during Viet Nam, they will do anything to insure that we lose–so that they can later call the “Troop Surge” a failure.
Look for pictures of Sean Penn or Madonna sitting on an Iranian Anti aircraft gun in your magazines soon…….
Trolls are like gators (not Gators). If you start feeding them they associate sane people with food. Sooner or later they’re gonna eat your hand, your dog, or your children, because to them, you’ve become just another food source. Then you’ll have to call in a professional troll wrangler to take them back hence from where they came, to their home amongst the muck and slime of the swamp. Best thing for them and you is to let them get hungry, realize there’s no feeding here, and go elsewhere.
Btw, for some unknown reason gators love marshmallows. Go figure.
Marshmallows, huh? Is that what NO is putting in the end-zone to show RB the way? Oh - I forgot… he was a Trojan, wasn’t he?
Before you go to church tomorrow, read Prostitutes in the Pulpit tonight. Which master does your preacher serve?
Huh, I’m thinking Prez Bush doesn’t like NOLA. 1st he sent his weather machine to bring a hurricane to it, then he sent another one to Texas to try and get rid of them. Now he sent killer bees. Darn GW is batting zero…

Ya know man all that shows me is what I have always known.
1. All clergy (and I do mean all) are m - e - n subject to all the foibles and temptations just like the rest of us.
2. Personal responsibility dictates to check out who we choose as our spiritual leader.
3. When a so called spiritual leader falls the media has a habit of throwing everyone into the same basket.
4. At the end of the end of the day I trust my preacher till he proves me wrong. At which time I move along and refer back to numbers 1 and number 2.

Squawk,
I’m nursing a cold and have no appetite for trolls or much of anything else for that matter!
Public Service Announcement nothing more.
Neo, you are s’pose to be in a Nyquil coma with chesty rubby stuffy on, with your head underneath the covers…Now git to bed! (sorry, the mom in me came out!)
C’mon, the troll is using stink bait. Can’t I nibble? I’m hungry, dang it!
#53, Southern,
Why would you want to nibble at stink bait?
Southerntragedy
I forgot the chesty rubby stuff at the drug store. Got the Nyquil, though, so will probably hit the sheets soon!
Stink bait? eeeewwwwww!
Public Service Announcement
Trolls are not healthy, they won’t get healthy, they don’t want to get healthy, and keeping them near you will eventually let them harm you. Treating them as if they were healthy just makes matters worse. For instance, if you respond to such a person’s destructive acts with patience and understanding, he or she will learn you respond to destructive acts with patience and understanding, and this will encourage more destructive acts.
BSue,’Cause I don’t have my kids this weekend, it’s pouring outside, my house is clean,the animals are fed, my ex-neighbors are having a party without me, I have a buttload of marshmallows (that haven’t been toasted on my bonfire,cause it’s been too wet to burn), and I ain’t got nothin’ better to do?
ST - you could go gater fishing with the marshmallows, according to Hamous ;0) Perfect weather for it?
I need to be cutting the pieces for the border of my NY Eve mystery quilt - maybe a cup of hot tea will get me moving that direction.
Oh - and what happened to your ex-neighbors? Did they float away?
Awww, Squawk #56, you put it into perspective. Darn. I guess you are right, since you look at life through a bug-splattered windshield. I almost got reeled in, but I got away…/ducks head in shame
Squawk,
I think you made your point!

BSue, it’s Moonshine Hill, for goodness sakes! The houses that are left have been bolted to the ground or on stilts with hurricane clips. We always look out for each other. After the next FEMA (aka Harris County Flood Control District, who gets their funds from FEMA) buyout, there will only be 3 houses left that did not take it. They will be screwed by eminent domain, rest assured. I do miss the hood, but not the flooding. Fixin’ to e-mail you…

Hmm not bad two in one day.
Damn I’m good.
1) Feed the troll.
Take a vacation, you’ll have earned it!
2) He (or she) associates you with warm fuzzy feelings.
3) Troll follows you home.
4) You tie up troll. If it’s a boy troll, make him wear pink underwear and a mop for a wig. Nothing else. If it’s a girl, make her fix your 1979 Buick that’s been sitting still since 1985. No new parts allowed. Until she is covered in grease and cries. Take pictures.
5) Show the troll how silly (or any other adjective that fits) they are and threaten to show all their friends, if they have any, otherwise threaten to show their boss - if they have a job. If no friends and no job, then threaten to show their mother. If the mother doesn’t give a rat’s a$$, then simply keep troll tied up and read Bush’s press releases to them or the book about him “A Charge to Keep” until he pees on himself.
6) Release rehabilitated troll into the wild.
7) Repeat as necessary until all pesty trolls are removed from your environment.
Squawk
Ohh the red tinge around my ears must be flushed with something else -
Really I’m a quite shy nonconfrontational guy who, counting my family (well 2 out of 4) really like me
EPJ
I know the feeling
Talking to trolls is like talking to ex-wives. No good can come out of it. If you are wrong you are screwed and if you are right they will twist your words till you are screwed (especially in front of a judge). They never admit they might be wrong and blame you for everything that is wrong in their pathetic little world.
#74 Squawk
Speaking as a wife (not an ex, just a regular one), I have to correct you. Actually, speaking as a woman, I must correct you. We are ALWAYS right. It is simply the way it is. Accept it.
Which reminds of one of my favorite jokes: If a man speaks in a forest and nobody is around to hear him - is he still wrong?

I wish Roger Clemmons would just go away. He is going to play the “I don’t know if I am going to play this year and if I do it will be in May or June” crappola leaving the Astros in a bind once again.
Roger Clemmons has moved up to number two on my list of “I don’t care” following closely behind the Donald Rosie thing.

Bill Clinton givng the commencment address to an all girls school.
Hillary Clinton as a Playboy Bunny
Nancy Pelosi without botox treatments.
Michael Moore as a McDonalds manager
Barbara Streisand as Victoria’s Secret model

Logging off. Been up way tooo late too many nights lately. Have a good evening, all! Lock your doors and windows so the trolls can’t sneak in while you sleep.
Took a trip out to a birthday party for a friend of mine who is turning 38 and whining about how old she is. It is to laugh, no? (Side note - Despite the name, an Ice House in Midtown is not the same as an Ice House in between Willis and New Waverly.) She past out before 10pm and the 48 year old is still going. I’ve always told my older friends, “You may be older but I’ve been awake longer.” What is the problem with this younger generation? They cain’t hang!
In response to earlier posts:
44. Go Jim Dandy! Go Jim Dandy! (are they really still around???)
71. Like child molesters, trolls cannot be rehabilitated. You must remove them from the general population.
74. BSue is in a unique position. She’s an ex-wife and a current wife to the same ex-husband/husband. How does that fit into Squawkie’s Troll/Ex-wife postulate?
And does anybody know where Old Waverly is?
#82 - “She past out” should read “She passed out”. One too many Stella Artois’ I guess.
things I don’t want to see
Matt Whining about his love life, turning 30 and Notre Dame Football
Benzion finding his Alan Alda
Hillary starting to make sense
Rick Perry giving another interview about the border (I’m running out of excuses)
Edd Hendee serving tofu

Oh last thing I’d never want to see (but you and the high level keep floating trial balloons)
LST naked Brew ha ha
Only if it has cold lumpy gravy on a piece of Wonderbread
Notre Dame, Smotre Dame! The most overrated team in the history of college football. We don’t need a playoff. ND should join the Big 10+1 already and make it an even dozen so they can have a conference championship and we won’t have to listen to teams like Michigan whine, “We should have been in the National Championship game!”

Hmmmm, seems like Nancy Pelosi’s 100 hr clock has a snooze button on it. As for the 5 day work week, it hasn’t happened yet. This Monday is another prime example. Do I need to mention last Monday’s day off for a football game?
WASHINGTON - The clock is ticking for House Democrats, but it’s hard to tell what time it is.
On Friday, for example, the House was in session for a little more than eight hours. Only five of them, however, ticked off on new Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record)’s 100-hour clock for quickly passing a six-bill agenda that Democrats promised voters last fall.
snip~
So while the House had been in session for nearly 56 hours since the 110th Congress was sworn in Jan. 4, the clock on Pelosi’s Web site suggested that less than half that time — 23 hours, 34 minutes — had elapsed by the close of business Friday.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070112/ap_on_go_co/counting_the_hours
Interesting~
#95 I never did like snooze buttons - usually would find myself laying there waiting for the thing to ring again, and feel silly because I was doing nothing - not sleeping, not waking, nothing… Come to think of it, that sounds pretty familiar!
And I must comment on the Open Comments picture that I’ve been trying to ignore since yesterday. I have to wonder if there is a flea collar in there somewhere????

You must be mistaken, that would be UNETHICAL and we know the Nancy PROMISED us the most ethical congress ever. Now we know a liberal would never lie.

Thanks! So far so good. The cold I caught Friday night keeps the yearnings at bay! Coinky dinky?

Hey. God is helping you quit smoking (the cold). Happy Birthday. Dont forget to tell Joe I said hello.
The trip back to Spicewood was hell. Rained dogs and dogs. No cats.
To everyone at the Shakefest I had a great time. It was nice to finally meet Sarge, I was afraid he might judge my long hair. LOL BigJolly was much younger than I thought he would be. Liz is great. Sarge is lucky. Hamous is cool. The beard works. Iranian? Nah although you may get the once over at an airport. Jimb was almost as I had imagined.
Southerntragedy I will get those shirts in the mail Tuesday since Monday is MLK day.
I originally thought Smacks bought my Blue Moons but at the end of the night they said Wino caught the tab. So thank you both since I think Stags got the doubler. Blue Moon was refreshing to say the least. I never finished my cigar.
Wino, one of my brethren just won a huge case against the Instant Robbery Squad via CtC. I’ll send ya the info when I get it.
I hope Shakey is OK. He has mail.
Good luck to any and all trying to quit smoking.
Life is good!!!!
I just went back and got up to date on Fridays somments. Katfish…yes they are mostly liars. Keep voting but in the case of Perry he is consistently lying and spitting on us. Hey I dont like spit on my face. But I do understand your point.
Hamous, I never said Ron Paul was the perfect candidate but on the biggies he is on the right side. Abortion is wrong. My bet is most politicians tell us they are pro life when they arent or dont give a rip.
Wino, I agree.
BTW, I think Tancredo just put his hat in also.
Lets see…Ron Paul or Judas John McLiberal? Ya’ll said the primaries is where we make our pick not the general election. We better pick a winner and not a commie.
Hmmmm
DanielJames
I just emailed Joe. Thanks for reminding me! It was good to chat with you once again.

The primarys is where we pick our canidates. Now is the time we must be involved to insure we have good canidates to support. You probably know that, but I mention it anyway for those that do not.

To all that were there at the Shakeyfest™, I really enjoyed meeting you guys. Thought about just lurking around like I do over at Headshaker.com! Tried logging in over there to tell you guys but we are having a few technical issues, so I thought I’d drop a line here.
And yes, southerntragedy did inhale!
Hamous, #83
If memory serves me correctly, Old Waverly is east of New Waverly off of I-45. You exit the same exit as if you were going to New Waverly. Head east (if your male). (If female, turn right after you exit. That was a JOKE). Go past New Waverly. I think Old Waverly used to sit on the Walker Co.-San Jacinto Co. line. The only things that are there to mark where the town used to be are the Old Waverly Cemetary and an historical marker. (I went there once during halloween in high school with some friends. There are a couple of ghost stories associated with the town).

Sarge, I got this link off Hotair.com. An interview with Lance Corporal in the USMC.

Egg Fu Old is what you get when you leave the left over Egg Fu Young in the frig to long.
