  1. Gonads and Strife. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Hey, its my thread. http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/weeee.html
  2. Subtlety? Oh, you mean when you were falsely predicting the future? Oh. Well then, you can tell the joke like this then. . . An old man approached the White House from the park across Pennsylvania Ave. where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U. S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Dean." The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Dean has never and will never be president and could not reside here." The old man said, "Okay" and walked away. The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Dean." The Marine again told the man, "Sir, Mr. Dean has never and will never be president and could not reside here." The man thanked him and, again, just walked away. The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U. S. Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Dean." The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Dean. I've told you already that Mr. Dean has never and will never be president and could not reside here. "Don't you understand?" The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it." The Marine snapped to attention, saluted and said, "See you tomorrow." That is BRUTALLY funny!!! You owe me a keyboard! I spewed coffee all over mine!

  5. You're the one who doesn't get it. I think his point is exactly that. That what we've been doing and saying is for the benefit of the audience at the time, and not based on any kind of moral superiority. Did we support Iraq against Iran? Yes. Was it the right foreign policy decision at the time? Yes. Was it the morally correct thing to do? Hell no. I'm not even going to try to attempt to speak for Bill. But my problem with our policies is the hypocrisy. Yes, some nasty things need to be done in order to secure our safety. Yes, I support some of those nasty things. My problem is with the holier than thou, for the good of humanity, God told me we're in the right attitude from the administration and its supporters. So I suppose it was hypocritical to ally with Stalin to defeat Hitler? Roosevelt used to call him uncle Joe. Shit, the Finns chose the other to keep Stalin out. An enemy of my enemy is my friend.
  6. It's his country. The UN makes me think of a bunch of people who are from a place where fucktards come from.

  8. Websters dictionary: Kofi Annan: ko-fee a-nan: noun, proper. useless, irrelevant, worthless, unimportant, comical, waste of space, dork, idiot, pinhead, laughable, et al. See: United Nations.
  9. I remember that time very well. The Canadian embassy hid a few folks for a while.
  10. This is exactly my point. "Father dies on son's first jump." I can see the headlines. Then there was the guy who killed his Mom on a tandem. It is not "Just another jump" it is very serious.
  11. Absolutely not with your experience level. Any tandem instructor or videographer who says yes you dont want your friend to jump with. I have 2000+ tandems and 4000+ video jumps. Most times, even with experienced skydivers, it wrecks the video. Tandem instructors and videographers work together to make a great experience for the passenger. If you come along we become more concerned with our own safety than our jobs. Plus, I have seen more unsafe things from people I call my friends who are good skydivers on tandem skydives than on any other type of jump. I would be happy if no one ever asked me again if they could join us on a tandem.
  12. As long as no one see's you eat dirt...its a stand up. Get up fast before they look.
  13. I got banned for calling some people "fucktards". Be careful who you call a fucktard.
  14. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/16/international/middleeast/16CND-NATION.html?ex=1072242000&en=2aedd578f1c193c5&ei=5062&partner=GOOGLE Iraqi Minister Scolds U.N. for Inaction Regarding Hussein By WARREN HOGE Published: December 16, 2003 NITED NATIONS, Dec. 16 — Iraq's foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari, accused the United Nations Security Council today of having failed to help rescue his country from Saddam Hussein, and he chided member states for bickering over his beleaguered country's future. "Settling scores with the United States-led coalition should not be at the cost of helping to bring stability to the Iraqi people," Mr. Zebari said in language unusually scolding for an occupant of the guest seat at the end of the curving Security Council table. Advertisement "Squabbling over political differences takes a back seat to the daily struggle for security, jobs, basic freedoms and all the rights the U.N. is chartered to uphold," he said. Taking a harsh view of the inability of quarreling members of the Security Council to endorse military action in Iraq, Mr. Zebari said, "One year ago, the Security Council was divided between those who wanted to appease Saddam Hussein and those who wanted to hold him accountable. "The United Nations as an organization failed to help rescue the Iraqi people from a murderous tyranny that lasted over 35 years, and today we are unearthing thousands of victims in horrifying testament to that failure." He declared, "The U.N. must not fail the Iraqi people again." It was not immediately clear how the accusatory tone of Mr. Zebari's speech affected the closed-door discussion over the United Nations' role in Iraq that followed, but Secretary General Kofi Annan, the first to emerge from the hall, appeared taken aback. "Now is not the time to pin blame and point fingers," he told reporters. Saying that Mr. Zebari was "obviously entitled to his opinion," Mr. Annan said that the United Nations had done as much for Iraq as it could under the circumstances and was prepared to do more. "Quite honestly," he said, "now is not the time to hurl accusations and counter-accusations." Ambassador Emyr Jones Parry of Britain, the United States' principal ally in Iraq, said there had been pointed questioning by colleagues but that he detected "strong support" from them for the new timetable for the American-led coalition to hand over power to Iraqis by July — and for drawing up a constitution and holding elections in the years following that Mr. Zebari had laid out. Today's session of the 15-member council was called to discuss the speeded-up plan for the United States-led coalition to hand over power to Iraqis by the end of June under an agreement reached a month ago between the coalition and the Iraqi Governing Council. Mr. Annan led off the open session of the council with a speech drawing from his report last week that ruled out a swift return of the United Nations to Iraq because of the bombing of its Baghdad headquarters in August and continuing attacks on diplomats and relief workers. He also said the United Nations needed more "clarity" over what it would be asked to do in Iraq before he could fully recommit the world organization and its international staff. He has assigned 40 of them to staff Iraq aid offices in Nicosia, Cyprus and Amman, Jordan. An estimated 2000 Iraqi United Nations workers are still at their posts in the country. Mr. Zebari took issue with these steps, saying that Iraq could guarantee the United Nations whatever security it needed to return sooner and noting the importance of having the organization back in Baghdad. "Your help and expertise cannot be effectively delivered from Cyprus or Amman," he said. He also took on countries like France that have expressed doubts about the current governing group. "As Iraqis," he said, "we strongly disagree with those of you that question the legitimacy of the present Iraqi authorities." He continued: "I'd like to remind you that the governing council is the most representative and democratic governing body in the region." He said, "The members of the Security Council should be reaching out and encouraging this nascent democracy in a region well known for its authoritarian rule." Ambassador Jean-Marc de la Sabliere of France, a critic of the war, turned aside the criticism of the Security Council dissenters, saying, "I don't want to comment on the past." He said he had questioned Mr. Zebari about France's interest in seeing Iraq increase the "inclusiveness" of the government so it would be one that would be viewed as "totally legitimate."
  15. Hookitt, what the fucktard are you smoking to come up with that word??? Someone's been flying upside down for waaaaaaaaay too long..... I wish to claim "fucktard" as MY word. All rights reserved on this forum. I was first to use it here.
  16. The Rumsfeld photo with SH was real, though. I knew you wouldnt.
  17. I knew YOU would like it! How about this one?
  18. You could buy this and reverse engineer it out of plastic/ceramic. It's a real gun but if you google it you will get mostly gaming sites. It has useless short range ballistics. Its not effective untill the round builds velocity. Gyrojet Pistol Notes: : This unique weapon was the result of experiments with "rocket rounds." The Gyrojet fires electrically-ignited, jet-stabilized, rocket-powered bullets. The pistol is made from a light aluminum alloy (Zamac) stamping, and has only one moving part (to feed rounds from the magazine). The Gyrojet can be fired underwater. It has excellent accuracy and long range, but the large one-piece rounds have poor penetration. Since the main propelling charge does not ignite until the round has left the barrel, recoil is only 1/5 that of a similar-caliber weapon. Ammunition for this weapon is horribly expensive. It is believed that this weapon has not been used in combat since its testing in Vietnam; it was extremely low-maintenance, but the ammunition was just too expensive and lacking in performance.

  19. so that is really where the 'pooby' came from...your cat, huh, a likely story I was just trying to clean up the language. The cat story is very true. Ask her, she's on my lap right now.
  20. I know someone who shall remain nameless who wondered why you want a pet to keep in your car. That was as she drove past a "CARPET" store.
  21. i don't think so. the logistics involved in getting their naughty bits close enough for gratifying contact would be too much to overcome. unless of course his equipment is proportional to his girth. The position they need to use is called "missionary impossible".
