Anonymous is everywhere. This amuses me greatly.

I posted this over on another forum first, and wasn't going to post it here until I saw Lyssa's post about the diahrrea guy! WARNING: DO NOT attempt to eat just before, during or just after reading this story. I lol'd several times though. No naughty pictures, but I'd say that the language and content is definately NSFW. The worst roomate EVAR.

Jimmy Carter and the First President Bush would like a word with you. You're right... That stupid stupid American public who won't even do something like abandon the most successful and well-conceived system of government in the history of mankind. How crazy of them...

I wouldn't exactly call my dead hookers a "problem" so much as I would call them a "dinner".

Within a patch or two after it's introduction, an alternate version which is tinted 1% green will be available to buy with 1,000 honor points and 40 AV tokens.

I heard this late last night... Yeah, it's a shame. He was pretty funny, and my wife is named after him so she always says, "Carlyn - pronounced like the comedian George Carlin". He was pretty funny. He lost me a bit when he got TOO bitter from time to time, and was more cynical than funny for part of his routine, but generally he was really funny and had some really good bits.

OK, I have GOT to get the Wii Fit.

Until the truth is known? Did you miss the last 8 years? The truth IS known. It's been known for a long time. About 3 gajillion books have been published on the subject, massive amounts of news hours have been devoted to it, uncountable amounts of furious blogging has been devoted to it, a torrent of leaks from unscrupulous beureaucrats have issued forth - and several congressional investigations have delved into it from various angles... A lack of information is NOT a problem today. The problem today is more along the lines of sorting throught the misinformation for the information - but if you expect a congressional investigation to do that then you're sorely mistaken about what congress actually does and has ALWAYS done. I'll give you an example: the 9/11 commision's findings were a complete joke, and all the 9/11 commision was in the first place was a complicated dog and pony show for the masses and a bunch of CYA for dingbats in congress. Nothing came out of that that wasn't already known, and it was full to the brim with political posturing and useless garbage. What Kucinich did has absolutely NOTHING to do with checking or balancing. Even if it wasn't laughably pathetic in it's effect - even assuming it had widespread support and a snowball's chance of doing what it says - it would still be nothing but Machiavellian power struggling. Kucinich has enough access to information that either he knows damn well that the supposed basis for impeachment is the joke it is.... or he's completely retarded. I've heard him speak - he's not retarded. He simply did this to pad his resume for the 2012 presidential race.

I had Chipotle 3 times this week! And I've also lost 3 lbs! Hooray!
-
For a simple reason: A politician can never get too much press. Also, he's got support among the leftist base, sure (and a smokin' hot wife), but so what? Name me ONE politician who has ever decided he could stop courting his base. One. When you have your answer you'll also have a politician who - in a NOT unrelated development - suddenly didn't get reelected. Sure he's within his right, but the whole thing's a complete sham. All of the supposed reasons for impeachment have been studied *ad nauseum* (in fact, few things in today's political situation have been debated/investigated more thoroughly) and they're all basically baseless politico-marketing spew.
-
Oh yes it is a stunt. It's not about his congressional seat though. That's what's throwing you off. It's for the benefit of his *nationwide* base. Don't you know for the last few election cycles he's been running for president? This is part of that. He's trying to build up his resume for 2012, since he was such a failure (again) in the 2008 presidential nomination cycle. He wants to be president. You are right though...... he is nutty enough to actually believe impeachment is warranted.
-
This is a calculated stunt by Kucinich for one reason, and one reason only: to boost his stature with his leftist base. That's it. Even that little nuttball *knows* that it's a pointless waste of time - and that the reasoning behind impeaching Bush is complete hogwash - but that's not the point. Dennis "red elf" Kucinich just wants to preach to the choir. He probably (deludedly) vastly overestimates the amount of people as politically whackdoo as himself, and figures maybe if he pads his leftist resume with this then maybe he'll have a shot at the presidency against McCain in 2012.

Oh helllllll no. That movie was great. 3 dimensional characterizations, a great plot, heartbreaking scenes of loss - that scene with his mom getting stabbed almost had me in tears -and a big green dude smashing the hell out of military hardware in a brilliantly arranged action sequence with clever wipes clearly evocative of comic books. Ang Lee's Hulk was a great film.
-
The Transformers... Great movie? Hell no. Awesome movie? Hell yes. It certainly wasn't Shakespeare, but man was it fun as hell! Lots of splodies, and a chick so hot that she could successfully cancel out Shia LeDouche. For the sequel I want to see less puny humans and more robot splodies! Oh, and the original Ang Lee Hulk movie was GREAT. It was a serious film that portayed the character accurately and deeply, Hulk dogs notwithstanding.
-
I'm with you, except I'd go one step farther and claim that those shows are the reason that some people in other countries hate us. They get those shows on satellite TV, watch them and think those despicable wastes of human flesh are typical Americans.
-
Hey, at least it's not "So You Think You Can Dance". That show makes me want to adopt puppies just so I can throw them into a fire one by one. My fiancee watches Project Runway religiously though. And my roomate watches anything even trashier, like MTV's Real World (Real World of course, if your real world happens to be populated entirely of nothing but douchenozzles with the IQ of a brick taped to a Springsteen album and ugly, trampy hookers with gonnasyphaherpenaids). I'll take Project Runway over that MTV show full of human failure any day of the week. But Top Chef is much better. It has that chick that is famous for having sex with Salman Rushdie, and she is mega-fine.

I didn't have any electricity last night (and still don't as of an hour ago when I stopped by the house to check) but the neighbors let me string a long extension cord across from their back deck so I could run my fridge. Once it got inside my house, of course, I also diverted some for the TV so we would have a reason to sit in the cool basement and have something to watch.... All three of us watched Top Chef. I'm just glad that Dale got kicked in the last episode. We were all hoping for the lesbian chick (forgot her name) to get kicked, and from the 91% of people that apparently voted for her to leave... apparently we're not alone in disliking her. Don't think she's going to win in the end though, and that's cool... we all like the other two much better. And Project Runway is LAME. So very very lame.

If you leave me alone with that burrito for like 60 seconds I can make sure it has more protein than that.
-
WOW. Working, as I do, in customer service for a *major* (and very very well known) company..... I have to say, I'm impressed with those responses. As for capacity - I *can* eat all that, and I used to. But years of eating like that have me now ordering my burritos with no cheese and sour cream, and eating a salad of cucumbers and mushrooms with fat free dressing for dinner. Me r fat.
-
That is because your powers are weak, old man! Just because you can't doesn't mean no one can! I like mine to be a little looser towards the top, and more compact as I go down, so I roll it back up at a slight bias to acquire my desired consistency. I've eaten Chipotle three days in the last four days, and twice on Sunday. I'm afraid to poop now. It's going to burn like butt lava... but I just love that hot salsa...
-
Well, I don't know who's litterbox you've been getting the craps you've eaten for comparitive purposes, but get that kitty an apron and a grill 'cause Chipotle burritos are simple and awesome. Oh and, since there are no Willy's around where we live so I couldn't even compare them regardless - advantage Chipotle.
-
See, I'm not scared of "the man". Often the man has the best value... good, consistent quality at the best prices. If the man wasn't good then he wouldn't be the man, someone else would. I don't care who owns a place - I only care about how yummy the food is and how it's priced. Chipotle's food is fresh, deliscious, reasonably priced, high quality and conveniently located. I'm a fan of local joints too, but not blindly so. Local places are of inconsistent value. Some are great, others suck. Some are cheap, others are overpriced. In fact, Burrito Brothers is the famous local DC burrito spot - and Chipotle blows it completely out of the water on all fronts. In addition to their burritos sucking culo compared to Chipotle's, there isn't a Burrito Brothers a few blocks from where I work - but there is a Chipotle. When "the man" gets it right be honest and give him his due.
