Yeah, it was called Turbo Teen. http://www.weaintcool.com/Articles/badcartoons2.html --------- "Coming straight out of the realm of sheer stupidity came Turbo Teen, which starred a teenager named Bret Mathews who could transform himself into a sports car. Bret is involved in an accident which fuses him with his red sports car. After any accident in a scientist's lab, you know that someone is going to come out of it with superpowers. Some get good powers, and some get the power to turn into a vehicle. Of course, any time one of these accidents happen, the person who is afflicted either turns into a superhero or a supervillain. In this case, Bret uses his stupid powers for good, not evil. Now, here's the extremely stupid part from Turbo Teen... Bret only turns into a car when his body temperature reaches a certain level. When he gets hot, he turns into a red sports car without a driver and when he cools off he turns back into a nerdy teenager. I don't know why, but this just doesn't seem like a good premise for a cartoon. Scratch that, I DO know why... because it totally sucks. Gigantic robots that turn into cars... I've got no problems with that, it's understandable. Meek, mild mannered princes who suddenly morph into a musclebound freak with furry underwear? Sound logic! But a HUMAN who turns into a CAR? That's just plain idiotic. Think about it, if he turns into a vehicle whenever he gets hot, then dig these scenarios. What if Bret is making out with some chick in the back of her Ford Escort and things are getting pretty hot and heavy? Just when Bret is about to make it to the promised land, BAM! he turns into a red Camaro. Don't you think that would put a slight damper on the mood? Not only has he destroyed her car, he's probably also killed her in the process. What if he was at a party and someone turned the heat up a few degrees? Suddenly there's a red car in the middle of the dance floor! Turbo Teen predictably lasted only 12 episodes before getting the can. Knight Rider = good idea, Turbo Teen = bad idea. "

The instant friendship and camaraderie are great, but they quickly become very consuming, and the majority of your time will be spent doing things related to the house. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but you should be aware going in. My fraternity was great, but after the first year I realized that 99% of the people that I had any regular contact with were Greeks. One of the reasons I started jumping and working with the skydiving club at my school was simply to get out of the Greek mold for a while and interact with other people. That said, Greek organizations can be fun. Some of my best memories are from times I spent with my fraternity.

Jumping's great, c'mon over. Where are you studying? Georgia Tech (my alma mater) has a huge club with probably 20 or so active jumpers. We make the rounds about the area, but usually jump at Thomaston. I'm sorta partial to that particular dropzone because I trained and did most of my jumps there, but anywhere you go the jumping is great.

Definitely a class act.

well, I'm sold.

Is that comment meant to imply that a FoxNews poll will automatically be inaccurate?

It's according to Kerry because he stood up on the floor of the United States Senate and tried to convince everyone that it was perfectly alright for someone not to fulfill his civic duty to this country.

I think my point is that I take exception to the notion that it was (according to Kerry) perfectly acceptable then for someone to have intentionally evaded fulfilling his civic duty to this country, but it has now become important to argue semantics over someone else who actually did serve his country.

"We do not need to divide America over who served and how." -John Kerry, defending [then-Presidential Candidate] Bill Clinton's draft-dodging in a speech on the Senate floor, February 27, 1992. http://www.foolsblog.com/archives/001905.html Oh, and from the same speech: "I am saddened by the fact that Vietnam has yet again been inserted into the [Presidential] campaign."

....and whose fault is that? (Excerpt from a Letter to the Editor, printed in The Washington Times on February 11, 2004. It was written by Col. William Campenni, USAF (ret.), who served with President Bush in the Texas Air National Guard.) "The mission of the 147th Fighter Group and its subordinate 111th FIS, Texas ANG, and the airplane it possessed, the F-102, was air defense. It was focused on defending the continental United States from Soviet nuclear bombers. The F-102 could not drop bombs and would have been useless in Vietnam. A pilot program using ANG volunteer pilots in F-102s (called Palace Alert) was scrapped quickly after the airplane proved to be unsuitable to the war effort. Ironically, Lt. Bush did inquire about this program but was advised by an ANG supervisor (Maj. Maurice Udell, retired) that he did not have the desired experience (500 hours)at the time and that the program was winding down and not accepting more volunteers."

Oh yeah, now I remember. I think I heard something about that in one of his speeches. It was kinda hard to catch, though, since it was hidden at the end and way understated.

Kerry was in Vietnam?

http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/pub/irs-soi/01in01ts.xls Excel breakdown of tax percentages and income levels.

Because the majority of the extra taxes taken from the higher wage earners are redistributed by the government through welfare, medicare, and a host of other "entitlements" (as though anyone is entitled to anyone else's money). These programs are necessary because the people drawing from them are incapable of providing for themselves.

You have to PAY TAXES to get a TAX REFUND. In this country, 96.03% of the taxes are paid by the top 50% of wage earners. The top 1% paid 33.89% of the taxes. That means that the top 1% of wage earners paid more than TEN TIMES the taxes that the entire bottom 50% did. I am willing to bet that that same 1% of the people did not use ten times as many government services as did the 50%. In this country, we actually punish people for working hard and being successful. Just think, all those years of schooling and work so that you can provide for someone who decided not to provide for himself. The general belief today is that all of the money in this country, by default, belongs to the government. You get the privilege of keeping YOUR OWN MONEY if and only if the Man decides to be nice and let you keep it.

You are whatever Jesse Jackson says you are.

Maybe not right this second, but give it a while. Rosie is on the case!!!

"Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter." http://www.snpp.com is also an excellent resource.

Ja ja ja, mach schnell mit der art things, huh? I must get back to Dancecentrum in Stuttgart in time to see Kraftwerk.

No way in hell is the seller responsible. No one is ever forced to skydive. If you jump a canopy, it is because you *chose* to jump that canopy. Other people are not liable for decisions that you make.

better watch out. If you're in the military stationed abroad, you might not be able to listen to Rush Limbaugh much longer. Fucking Senate. http://www.cnsnews.com//ViewNation.asp?Page=\Nation\archive\200406\NAT20040617a.html
