  1. Have a safe trip! -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  2. There's a difference between getting a number and asking for it in the likelihood of using it. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  3. When you have a lot of experience (the conditions can be bad), check out the Flower Gardens, a coral reef, on the M/V Fling(?) and its sister-ship. It's 2-3+ day trip out about 100 miles from a port (forgot name) about an hour from Houston.) Leave at midnight, wake up there, dive, after the night dive come closer and dive a much less interesting site and/or an oil rig. Chance to see a whale shark. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  4. You must not be getting it at Whole Foods!
  5. T think you mean mediation and that was my question too. [Arbitration means someone else decided for you rather than you work things out.] -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  6. I wonder what the theory is behind killing your lawyers... at least until after you lose. Did they do a bad job? Is it to dissuade people from defending Saddam or participate in the trials? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

  7. Happy Birthday!! -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  8. Do you understand that tax breaks are in part designed to encourage certain types of economic activities? Why do you equate success with owing a debt? Why should success should be punished more by higher taxes than there are already in the graduated tax brackets? The top 1% isn't saving shit. They are just not paying more and more and more. Why don't you want to encourage people to make an extra dollar rather than take away 40% of it? Do you think instead of overtime, people should just get more taken away in taxes? The real problem for the world is China. It's a rationally run as opposed to by politicians and is built on slave labor, which we cannot even be able to consider competing with and combined with theft aka war/conquest, has been helpful to many past empires. Factories are being built there; hell, microsoft has an officer. As their standard of living increases closer to parity with the US, they'll be making money and those factories will never return here. They foster the best and brightest -- engineers and scientists; some here think they are owed something by them. India, Russia, ... we're screwed if we can't continue to invent and pioneer. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

  9. If the US is a beggar, why does the world expect the US give money to everyone, fund the UN, ... -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt

  11. Happy Birthday! Hope, you have a great day and it includes fine wine, entertainment and dining -- like Rachel's.
  12. And without the fights. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  13. Maybe people should shoot tofu. Raise the price and really piss off some vegans. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  14. You can't really compare because some people have 10/20 liability policies and others have $500k/$500k policies. Un/underinsured motorist coverage makes a difference as does stacking it with multiple cars. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

  15. The problem is that places like China can lure away manufacturing from the U.S. with cheap labor and lax laws, but when their living standards rise closer to ours, there will be no incentive to move the factories back here.

  16. If it's the one of 45th, you guys actually did go there for the food. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  17. Kallend, mentioned integrating it into a plane's intercom system... Is there any advantage between the Ipod and others as far as integrating them into a car stereo? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

  19. just forwarding on an email Actual letter of resignation from an employee at a computer company, to her boss, who apparently resigned very soon afterwards! Dear Mr. Baker, As a graduate of an institution of higher education, I have a few very basic expectations. Chief among these is that my direct superiors have an intellect that ranges above the common ground squirrel. After your consistent and annoying harassment of my coworkers and me during the commission of our duties, I can only surmise that you are one of the few true genetic wastes of our time. Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance of everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen. I was hired because I know how to network computer systems, and you were apparently hired to provide amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly attempt to understand the concept of "cut and paste" for the hundredth time. You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly simple as binary still gives you too many options. You will also never understand why people hate you, but I am going to try and explain it to you, even though I am sure this will be just as effective as telling you what an IP is. Your shiny new iMac has more personality than you ever will. You walk around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for fault in others. You have a sharp dressed useless look about you that may have worked for your interview, but now that you actually have responsibility, you pawn it off on overworked staff, hoping their talent will cover for your glaring ineptitude. In a world of managerial evolution, you are the blue-green algae that everyone else eats and laughs at. Managers like you are a sad proof of the Dilbert principle. Since this situation is unlikely to change without you getting a full frontal lobotomy reversal, I am forced to tender my resignation, however I have a few parting thoughts. 1. When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is illegal for you to give me a bad recommendation. The most you can say to hurt me is "I prefer not to comment." I will have friends randomly call you over the next couple of years to keep you honest, because I know you would be unable to do it on your own. 2. I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I know every password you have used for the last five years. If you decide to get cute, I am going to publish your "favorites list", which I conveniently saved when you made me "back up" your useless files. I do believe that terms like "Lolita" are not usually viewed favorably by the administration. 3. When you borrowed the digital camera to "take pictures of your Mother's birthday," you neglected to mention that you were going to take pictures of yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot to erase them like the techno-moron you really are. Suffice it to say I have never seen such odd acts with a sauce bottle, but I assure you that those have been copied and kept in safe places pending the authoring of a glowing letter of recommendation. (Try to use a spell check please; I hate having to correct your mistakes.) Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of recommendation on my desk by 8:00 am tomorrow. One word of this to anybody, and all of your little twisted repugnant obsessions will be open to the public. Never f*** with your systems administrator. Why? Because they know what you do with all that free time! Wishing you a grand and glorious day, Cecelia -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  20. I only got to see the Intracoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale. Does that count? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  21. QuoteMost of the weapons they confiscated were in homes that were abondened during the hurricane, and were left unnatended by the owners. Let's face it with all of the mayhem and chaos it was either gather the loose weapons up or arm the idiots. They didn't have time to make that call, everything was happening way too fast. I'm certainly not in agreement with confiscating legal weapons in the possession of law abiding individuals.reply] People left their firearms out in plain sight in their houses when they left? Or the police, (who weren't looting themselves?), searched people's private residences in case they found guns? I'd be more than a little pissed if the government was searching my stuff without a warrant or any safeguards let alone for the hope that they might find a gun. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

  22. I wondered around Europe for 3+ months a while ago. In a month by eurail, you could probably do Spain (Toledo -- Alahambra), Southern Portugal (Lagos -- beach) and Italy (Cinque Terra -- hike, Venice, San Gimignano, Amalfi, Rome). Parenthesis are the places I'd return to. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  23. I have heard people say that because the chiefs (meaning at least two) of large cities take a purely political stance on the issue and represent the liberal constituents that gave and keep them in power, that "police chiefs" are against it. So, do liberals really care what police chiefs think? Or is it merely a catch phrase? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
