lol, sorry, forgot which forum i was currently surfing. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=level Definition 1. come on. are you really trying to tell me that you HONESTLY think that Bill truly believes that John McCain isn't a US citizen? If you answer yes to that, then you totally missed the point of his posts. If you answered "no" then stop and think why he would have posted that. Could it possibly be to show how silly the "obama citizenship" conspiracy theorists are being? Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

I just had a stupid donk suck out on me for an entire buy in at one of the tables i'm playing online and it's tilting me hard. Translation: I am playing poker online and a bad player who has no idea what he's doing got extremely lucky. a small problem compared to some, but hey...it's fresh in my mind.

*whoosh* Bill, it's impossible to imply anything in SC...it must be spelled out in words fewer than 3 syllables. All attempts at humor, leveling, or use of exaggerated counter-examples to try to show how amazingly ridiculous the other side is being usually don't work. As proven by many responses in this thread.

the HOW of things is not the same as the WHY of things. One is the province of science, the other of faith. Nor are they mutually exclusive. It saddens me to see BOTH sides of this issue try to argue down the validity of the other, when they can peacefully co- exist. Heck, i even think they are symbiotic.

I could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure Bill is using McCain's case to make a point about how ridiculous the claims about Obama are... Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

they have proved it. Over and over and over again. birth certificate, sworn statements from state records officials in Hawaii...what more do you want? The burden of proof is on the nutjobs who are claiming this ridiculousness. Oh right, i forgot, they guy in charge of Hawaii's records when Obama was born is unavailable due to being in the witness protection program....he was on the grassy knoll. Not saying he fired the shot, but you never know! Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

not this again. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Gee, i wish I'd come from a family of privilege, or been connected. Too bad to get into the AFA i had to work my ass off in high school and go through more hoops then any civilian college admissions process to get in. My family is middle class at best, and my congressman was a 2-term representative who i had never met before and that i didn't even vote for. Thank you for diminishing my accomplishments (and the accomplishments of hundreds of other amazing people) due to your jealousy. Yes, i was on the team. And your post proves that you have absolutely NO idea how much those cadets have to "pay" for all their "free" jumps. You seem to think that these kids jump all day for free and train 4-way all the time. Ask a cadet at the AFA who is NOT on the team how hard they have to work. Then go ahead and multiply that by at least 3, and that's what being on the Wings of Blue is. You have to do all the regular academy crap, PLUS teach AM-490 (ground school AND jumpmaster), train for and travel to demos (taking time away from said regular academy crap), train for ALL the competition events...there are no specialists on the team. You compete at collegiates, you do it all. a 4500ft accuracy jump does nothing for 4-way, yanno. Yes, the AFA is a $250k education shoved up your a$$ one nickel at a time. There are many more ways to pay than money, mah friend. As for the grad student thing...it seems strange that this was "changed" without fanfare. I signed the petition, even though according to some i might be "too good to even talk to" them. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

nice hive =) If i lived somewhere i could sustain them, i might have a hive myself. Hopefully hives can bounce back, because human beings not being able to eat is a bad thing. I think most people don't realize how vital bees are to...well, basically, to life on earth as we know it.

I'm voluntarily stuck at home...caught a nasty cold and i figure no one deserves to be subjected to my bad mood...so i'm sitting here surfing, playing poker, and thinking about watching a movie. I wish i could stop sneezing, though I probably shouldn't post much, either...colds make me super snarky and mean.

Time for my obligatory periodic reposting of the absolute, hands down, stone cold funniest (and i mean tears-running-down-your-face funny) website on the internet: http://www.notwithoutmyhandbag.com/babynames/ Send it to this person, would fit right in.

To me, this is bittersweet. It was an amazing thing in an amazing time, but i look around today and wonder if we will ever accomplish anything like that ever again. Back then we asked "How can we do this?" Now all we ask is "How much does it cost?" We've become this jaded, bitter, divided society that seems to be afraid to dream, derisive of dreamers, and more worried about the short term bottom line than what things mean in the long term. Is there room in this country for a new Kelly Johnson or Werner Von Braun? Sadly, i have to say that i just don't see it. It's a damned shame.

Not yet but not for the cagers lack of trying. I did get stung by a bee last month while doing 70mph. That.....hurt Oh god...worst pain ever was when i was riding along the freeway and a hornet (must have been) got down into the BACK of my jacket, and stung me about 3 times before i could pull over and smash it. I'm sure the passersby in their cars got a funny show of me hopping around, tearing off my jacket and trying to reach that one spot on the middle of my back that i just can't reach to get the dead bee guts out of my shirt...with tears streaming down my face from the acute pain. It hurt so bad after a while i almost passed out...had to just sit down on the side of the road and wait for about 10 minutes. ugh.

hehe, that's all well and good if you don't really care about a completion. Say, for camps and things. But when you need to get a record on the books, you have to go with what works. And that formation has proven to work every time. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

lol, it ain't about the money..it's about the tilt. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

i might join you...depends on how my cash session this afternoon ends up. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

lmao, you just made me 95% sure that you'd clean me out. Come on...i'm bad at tourney play but i DO know what it means to think like a poker player Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Are y'all any good? (note: typing a post is hard when you're multi-tabling) I suck at tourney play =( Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

lol, i'd be on the phone to Sotheby's before you could say "millionaire". Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

OMG, that shit is NOT electronic, techno, house, jungle, breakbeats, or progressive! That is pop. Please for the love of all things good and holy, do NOT insult electronic music like that EVER again! *cry* Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

probably due to our geographic isolation right, but what is it about geographic isolation that prevents CCS? CCS is such a mystery, that it seems like the case of Australia might be a good one to study in order to find the cause of the problem. My best friend runs a bee-related business, so this is obviously a genuine concern and one i've known about for a while.

hehe, i get comments about my "low" D number when i sign logbooks, etc. D-18644 it's not THAT low, but anything under 20000 now seems to be more rare than not. I'm 34, but i've been jumping for 15 years... Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

the best way to do it, if you're planning on spending the weekend, is to watch the website and as soon as you can, reserve an RV spot. If you don't own an RV, rent one. You never have to leave the track, you have a nice shady air conditioned place to go if it gets too hot, you can bring your own food and save a ton of money, etc. etc. We did it for 3 years in a row and it was awesome.

Palin resigning. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31726640/ns/politics-more_politics/ I wonder what prompted this. i read rumors of post-partum depression, but wasn't sure if they were spread out of spite. An interesting development.... Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

what are we supposed to argue about? All i see is a quoted article. Now, if John had posted his opinion of the article or what it means to him...then we might have a jumping off point. Is this a gun control thread? socialism? abortion? religion? Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!
