torn asunder

happy b-day, budreau!!

because "hello" is a very common greeting in the english language - perhaps a better question would be "why *not* hello?" !?

i see where you're coming from, but in the case of something like derby, where you're trying to connect with the public, i can see abbreviations/slang in limited use. i mean, it'd be hard to connect with people by saying something like "You have been formally invited to partake of the festivities that will abound during our upcoming bout."

yes. "somewhat". basically, if a president does something that does not require external approval, it's on him, but if it requires approval of congress, how the hell can he be blamed for the failings/infighting/politics of hundreds of others?

granted i don't know many of these bands, but this looks like a very interesting setlist (meaning, i wish i'd been there for it). do you guys know who megaherz is? like "Die Gedanken sind frei", "Gott sein" or "Kopf durch die Wand"? i love these guys & think they might fit well...

i would also like to say, and i'm not trying to be an ass about this, i find it hard to take a job/company seriously with an ad that fails to use proper spelling and grammar (and yes, i know i'm not capitalizing). it reflects poorly on the company, and really makes me doubt their ability, and even legitimacy. just a friendly suggestion!

no, you smart-ass! *the president* is somewhat blameless - *every* president. they can promise all they want, but when it comes down to it, they really don't have the control to deliver on their promises, it's always up to others.

i don't think this is exactly fair - afterall, he's not the one who can finalize/enact everything he wants to do; he answers to others... they're the ones who are failing him, imo. not to say that he is without fault, but his "legacy" (in fact, *any* president's legacy), is for the most part, in the hands of others.

i disagree about this - i keep seeing signs asking for people to donate their boats... boats!? are you f**kin kidding me? what's a poor person gonna do with a boat? but obviously, there is a "market", so to speak, for even this. donating car parts is a great idea, because there are a lot of people who depend on shit-beaters to get to work, and when they break down, most of them can't afford to fix the car, lose their job, etc. downward spiral. just for an example...

i can see one of a few things happening here... 1) people are just going to walk away from home ownership & rent = dramatic rise in foreclosures. 2) nobody will ever, ever, move again... 3) people will find some creative way around it, like home-swapping, subletting, time-sharing, etc as a way to get around actually selling the home. based solely on what i've read in this thread (without further research) this bill sucks ass...

reason i ask, is that as a general rule, women "hold the purse-strings" when it comes to sex, and i don't care how ugly/skanky/what-have-you a woman is, it seems there's always a few guys that, if the woman said "let's go", they'd be all over it!?

you need this picture!!

no idea - it's going to be really hard to explain to a 12 yr old why you just split with their dad and are already dating someone else. this is why i've always been a firm believer in people being disentangled before moving on. good luck with it, it's a tough situation...

that's got to be one of the funniest things i've ever seen!!

you wanna talk punk you should check out these guys - the lead singer, mike, is a buddy of mine - they're out here on the west side. the hex bombs on myspace...

today, for some reason, it was two different songs... 1) "hair" - the cowsills 2) "lockjaw" - sir mixalot

quick thought - do you all think that their primary customer will be male or female?

"oh NO you DI-int!!"

i'm feeling lazy - i don't want to go out in the fucking cold & snow to cut firewood again. i wish i had a decent heater, or a cheap source of already-split firewood...

pre - cisely!!

tom baker was the best by far, imo, but this new guy matt smith, is now officially my 2nd favorite!

did i miss something!?

that would depend on if i still have the house... yes, would be much more appropriate...

two words... "jail break"!!
