Aw, come on, Bill... You know he was just funnin'. Just like Bama when he lied about our troops to spur the rage. Slingin' a little mud, ya know?
I don't care who you are, this here's funny...
I think the Myans have it pegged. They even went out on a limb, saw in hand, and predicted the exact time this event may occur.
Noah built an ark, I may have to build an "Iron Diamond"... An idea I came up with to survive Anything. Imagine a spaceship looking thing, long on the bottom for ballast, with triple layered 3/8" steel, staggering the seams and coating everything in two part epoxy.
That should hold back mother earth, but a nuke would probably melt the fuckin' thing.
Damn near as many as the million man march.
It doesn't matter how much ass kissin', sweet talkin' and back pedaling this cat does, in all reality he stands to be made look more foolish than any.
Hitlary? You've got to be kidding. Those bug eyes remind me of a few pill heads I've experienced in this sunny place for shady people.
And if Johnny gets in, I wouldn't be surprised to hear one day he had a 'Nam flashback at the white house and wiped out more than a wacked out college kid on campus.
I ain't votin' for anyone until I see Ted Nugent & Jim Hellwig on the ballot.
But you probably already knew that.
Flash, I'd like to buy a vowel...
But these crooked MM's took all my money!
They didn't sue her because she settled with them.
Yeah, without admitting anything. I guess this leaves her free & clear to romp & stomp through BCIT/Energy Source, straight into bankruptcy as she planned? And Why would she need them bankrupted if she weren't terribly short?
One last question, real important here... Who was the "we" in the famous "romp & stomp" threat?
Now I like that. All options open.
Speaking of options, Shania Twain's back on the market. There's a stock I'd go long in. Depreciation value won't set in for a while on this hottie.
Oh yeah, and that little known salt water conveyor they call the Gulf Stream? I saw some scientists on t-v (therefore it has to be true) concluding it's about reached it's tipping point, and only an ice age will correct it. Once again, the media has the masses foolishly running blind in the complete oppisite direction. I see an ice age having benifits, like the middle east freezing, contracting and falling into the void all their selfishness has created.
Right... Just bend over and grab the ankles, let them short this right back into the ground after spending $500+ per day for 2.5 years. Right.
Here's some reality for ya, Shell... Megas didn't come to this fight to lose, and hasn't lost yet. Anyone twisting this fact or defending illegal nekid short selling is bordering on criminally aiding and abetting along with market manipulation for starters.
Sure looks like extortion to me. Maybe it's not extortion, though, until Megas caves in and allows them to force him down this road?
That's when the Real party should start. It's taken them three years to dig this hole, and it sure would be nice to see them fill it back up.
With all due respect, I hope Steve's fine. But if Oregon is going to fall off the map, I'd hope every available politition was on board.
Check out this tee I found...
Huh? How do yo know this?
An upside down head and shoulder sounds like an accidental dismount from one or two sets of scaffolding.
Hope the bouncing hammer and golden nail candlesticks are next, for ya'll into that space junk.
Me, I'm putting my money straight into my couch from now on. It's not safe in the market, wife spends it faster than I can put it into the bank, and the sofa is probably the last place she will clean with four kids trashing the place.
And there ya have it. New housing starts (lack of) are responsible, and wish I was in a position to be able to capitalize. Hurricane season begins in less than a month, and home depot's .87 studs will be selling for 2.25 before the fucking wind starts blowing. I'd like to sell them roadside for a nickle less than the stores, but law enforcement kinda frowns upon that, and I can't take a shit in the woods without getting caught.
I should probably be building Steve a fire proof safe box he can climb into when all hell breaks loose out there. Standing up to the birth of a new volcano would also bring quite a challenge, as hurricanes have been no match for me.
I once went out in the eye of a hurricane and pulled my fence back up and secured it to an engine block with a bungee cord that survived the back side of the storm.
And they thought it was hard keeping whiskey in a wooden barrel...
I figured that was what you meant. I was only hoping to take on a dozer with a pile of lumber and box of nails.
Phil, you're absolutely right. I didn't realize how far out of the loop I was...
I knew I was far enough out of it where I couldn't keep up with the stringent rules you guys agreed to. LOL
FWIW, my picks swept the first eight spots.
His new team mate took him out.
I heard Kyle say the other day, "I'll wreck as many cars as it takes". Hope Mr. Hendrick can afford the security team that will require.
I can't BELIEVE none of you picked the 07. Hell, I even told Phil in a PM about four hours before the race.
(note: my siggy ain't changed)
LOL
You're not kidding. In one weekend he managed to piss off the Wallaces, Earnhardts, and ol' DW.
Kyle's gonna have one more shot to make friends tonight.
Just got home, who's leading?
Not sure, Hurley, but I think we'll get some concrete numbers in the future (note I refrained from using the "S" word).
Some seem very worried about the tracing of all those extra shares, which I see as a real good thing.
Zactly. The SEC cautions against these high risk stocks. The last thing they want to hear is you failed to heed proper restraint.
It would be like bitching about losing my hundred dollars at a casino poker table, saying the deck was marked.
Sorry, move along.
Side by side or end to end? Pretty big difference there.
Maybe I should build the ramp. Everything I build is indestructable, though I've never been challenged by a bulldozer traveling at 200+ MPH (a bit less if ya stack 'em side by side).
Robbie's driving this thing? No way, I bet he's got a stunt double. Probably a Democrat like Hitlary, dragging her foot on the brake all the way.
Better pick that blade up high, 'cause my shit don't move. That ramp will be reduced to ashes or toothpicks before it's disassembled.
Keep pounding the table, queen. When the SEC starts doing something to correct the billions of dollars stolen by illegal short selling, I'll let them know this guy used my $100 for a new mailbox or a bottle of wine.
Some people are just plain mean.
They think it's fun to pick on some lady who rubs her dogs balls in town hall, I guess.
Probably crackin' jokes about what goes on Behind closed doors...
Like the FCC laughing at SIRI & XMSR. Looks like they're setting the hurdles just high enough and the loopholes just small enough where it'll be 20 years before they turn a profit. If they're not run out of business before then. Nothing like a quick scratch of the nuts to keep everyone friendly.
I see Freto & Matt seem to have a stalemate going on, hope they work it out.
My picks, 1, 6, 07, 11, 12 16, 18, 20, 28,29, 38, 42, 43, and the 70.
Ouch, hope they all have three front runners.
His team mate in the 6 very strong.
17's done.
Three men - a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden
and a Texan are all working together one day.
They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.
'I will give each on you one wish,
which is three wishes in total', says the Genie.
The Canadian says, 'I am a farmer and my son
will also farm. I want the land to be
forever fertile in Canada '
POOF! With the blink of the Genie's eye,
the land in Canada was forever fertile for farming.
Osama was amazed, so he said, 'I want a wall
around Afghanistan , Palestine , Iraq
and Iran so that no infidels, Americans or
Canadians can come in our precious land.'
POOF! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye,
there was a huge wall around those countries.
The Texan says, 'I am very curious.
Please tell me more about this wall.'
The Genie explains, 'Well, it's about 5,000
feet high, 5oo feet thick and completely
surrounds the country. Nothing can get in
or out; it's virtually impenetrable.'
The Texan sits down, cracks a beer,
smiles, and says, 'Fill it with water.'
WTG, Wild Bill. You'll be all set if govt ever restated the mandatory carry law.
Me, I'd rather take some risks than invest in something slower than shit to soil. It doesn't always work out that way, but but it sure keeps my blood pressure up.
Yep, make sure you have the vowels.
Kicking myself for missing V, like laughing at GOOG @ $100 opening day...
Dammit, it just makes no sense to play it safe. LOL
Four dollar fine for the double post...
But at this point I'd settle for a hot stock tip.
PTSC bounced right where I thought it might, and I've been watching F real close.
My wildcard, got some ITLV last month and finally awoke.
After closer examination of my warranty deeds, I have no mineral rights on the Pecos piece, but I still have royalty and surface rights unless "mineral" is a catch all phrase, as there was no reference to either of the latter.
It'll probably cost me three times the land value to have a lawyer look into it. Oh well, I have full rights on the Ward County tract... When's that pipeline coming to town?
Yes, Texas... There's a huge NG pocket directly underneath my future dog house. Sounds like they may want to drill in the same damned place, just as luck would have it. LOL
Just received an unsolicited offer for 100% of my mineral, royalty and surface interests on the Pecos County land, about twice what the land is valued at...
Something tells me that old desert wasteland is about to become mighty valuable.
MOTEGI, Japan - Since exploding into the consciousness of an international audience at the 2005 Indianapolis 500, Danica Patrick has answered incessant questions of when she would win an IndyCar Series race.
Next question, please.
Patrick, competing in her 50th IndyCar Series race, became the first female to win a major auto racing event on a closed-course circuit. The designation is because Jutta Kleinschmidt of Germany won the Paris to Dakar Rally in 2001.
● The setting: The Indy Japan 300 on the Twin Ring Motegi oval.
● The scenario: Moving from ninth place on Lap 189, seeing leaders pit for a splash of fuel a few laps later and overtaking Helio Castroneves on Lap 198.
● The post-race scene: The sun broke through for the first time all weekend as Patrick made her way through a sea of well-wishers to the victory stage. Today, the diminutive Patrick stood 7 feet tall.
"Finally," Patrick said through tears before a victory lap to compose her thoughts. "This is a long time coming. It was a fuel strategy race, but my team called it perfectly for me. I know I was on the same strategy as Helio, and when I passed him for the lead I couldn't believe it. This is fabulous."
A few minutes later, fans streamed down the frontstretch grandstand to get a closer glimpse (and hopefully a snapshot) of the winner - proof they were witness to history and had the ability to return to the venue after the sixth annual race was postponed 22 hours because of rain.
"I've always said that I wouldn't do this, but on my last lap I was kind of just excited," said Patrick, 26. "And when I actually had to talk on my radio, finally the emotion came out. I really couldn't manage any other words than 'thank you.' And then I was as relieved as I expected I would be years ago, how I knew I would feel when I won my first race."
Patrick has come close before, including after starting on the front row at Twin Ring Motegi in her fourth IndyCar Series race in '05. She finished fourth and really captured the public's attention a month later by becoming the first female to lead the Indianapolis 500. Patrick finished fourth again, and over the next two-plus seasons (with Rahal Letterman Racing and now Andretti Green Racing) second place (at Belle Isle last September) had been the high-water mark.
"I've been asked so many times when I'm going to win my first race, and finally, no more of those questions."
No, they will turn to 'When can you win another?' starting with the RoadRunner Turbo Indy 300 at Kansas Speedway in a week.
"It feels like it's taken a long time," she continued. "I had a lot of opportunities last year that were missed due to bad luck. I can only say I'm just glad it's over."
Castroneves finished 5.8594 seconds behind and Scott Dixon was third. Dixon's Target Chip Ganassi Racing teammate, Dan Wheldon, finished fourth and Tony Kanaan was fifth. Vision Racing's Ed Carpenter, staring at a career-best finish, also had to pit and wound up sixth. Rahal Letterman Racing's Ryan Hunter-Reay was a season-best seventh and A.J. Foyt Racing's Darren Manning advanced four positions to eighth.
Patrick, who competed in European junior formulas seeking her open-wheel racing break, returned to the States to compete in the Toyota Atlantic series in 2003 for Team Rahal. Co-owner Bobby Rahal gave her the opportunity in 2005. The move was met with some questions about a relatively inexperienced driver - and a female - competing in the premier North American open-wheel racing series.
"I think that the disadvantage to overcome was just that I hadn't won," Patrick said. "A lot of women hadn't really proved on a consistent basis that they could be a good driver and always run up front. I think there had been times when they had done well but not consistently.
"I can't tell you that I blame them for not believing that we could do it. But when you have 100 guys come through, finding one good one, the odds are a lot better than 100 girls since it takes a lot longer for 100 to come through. The odds are against us. But I grew up with never really using guys as a reference, using drivers as a reference, and if I wasn't fast enough, I wasn't fast enough. That was the most important thing."
The car was plenty fast enough at Twin Ring Motegi. Her team calculated the fuel mileage to the liter. And Patrick drove into history.
My oldest is sixteen and car shopping, and I'm trying to talk her into buying something like this old 'Cuda so she can truely appreciate the complexities of Detroit...
She says she understands, and would rather drive a pickup that runs with new brakes. No arguing that logic.
Sounds like a real gem, Bill. $3500 also sounds fair, but be sure not to give it away... I've never seen one of those that wasn't covered with rust, so I'd also suggest keeping it out of the rain until the deal's closed. LOL
Sometimes a hammer works on those Chevy starters, and just about everything else for that matter. Especially if laying on a sheet of ice (or hot asphalt) is the alternative.
My Chevy's been stalling out at traffic lights, and after much research it seems to trace back to GM's wonderful design on fuel injection. Some states such as California have a special warranty up to 200,000 miles, and my fingers are crossed Florida has the same lemon protection as the stock market, fix it without admitting or denying guilt.
One of my brothers has been working at GM so long all he has to do is show up and play cards and watch t-v all night. Break time and lunch consist of trips to the parking lot where he and his pals toss back shots of whiskey and tell lies. That's if he decides to go in, of course. Seems they're all real good down there about punching the clock for one another whenever somebody has transmission problems like getting their ass in gear.
...Think I'll call and wake him up to an ass chewing right now, come to think of it. He needs to figure out a way to make these things so women and children can fix them. Dammit.
Really LMAO now... I never figured you the type to own one of those fancy dogs, but I hear they work best as a dust mop just before getting a haircut. And there's probably a use for WD-40 in the application for best results.
My whole house is a kid zone... Classroom, science lab, toybox, gamespace, bouncehouse, movie stage, concert hall, gormet resturaunt, bakery, ground zero and command central.
Case of barn envy here. My getaway is an attached 2-car garage/doghouse with no couch, much too close to the kitchen. When I do get the finances to build my barn you can bet it'll be far from the house, like one of those 5+ acre lots in West Texas.
