The Republican Party's Hidden Advantages. Oh I'm sure they'll figure out a way to screw that up too. Costumes
What is deemed 'offensive' these days is getting ridiculous. U of CO prohibits cowboy, indian and any costume with a sombrero.
I'm sure they'll add any 404 Obamacare costumes to the list.
Guns N Roses Cover
F-14 Tomcats vs UFO's
I don't care how bogus I think the story is, the idea of Tomcat's vs UFO's is awesome. Iranian F-14's chasing UFO's.
Mamming
So this mamming thing is real? What's next? Balling?
Oh Hell No
Heh. A sensible horror film.
CIA Spies
Figures. The CIA's most highly trained spies were animals.
Pacific Rim Honest Trailer
I don't care. I still enjoyed the movie.
Proper Toilet Paper Roll Installation
I think this image clearly shows why it is important to place your toilet paper roll the other way.
Coming To America
UK welfare couple demand bigger taxpayer funded house because they are lesbian.

>>That was kind of the final straw in my mom really getting involved in our public school system.
.
.I pulled my son out of public school in Illinois when I read one of his history books that said the Chinese Government never intervened in the Korean War and the 3 million Chinese Soldiers that crossed the border were all "volunteers". He did the next three years in Catholic school for penance. LOL.

Does anyone actually think that Cruz believed he would be able to achieve his stated goals? We all knew it was not possible. Hell I am pretty sure even he knew it was not possible. So why did he do it?
To borrow the favorite term from Instapundit. Its battle space preparation
The Dem's and the MSM(but I repeat myself) have a very nasty habit of attributing all good things to Democratic policies while all failures are either Republican or bipartisan..They rely on the lack of memory and outright lies to pull this off time and time again. So Cruz did something that may seem like a short term tactical mistake, but turn into a long term boon.
The establishment has just spent weeks going out of their way blaming Cruz for the shutdown and Republicans in general. All because they wanted to stop Obamacare. But you know what? They spent so much time doing that and banging it into the heads of their viewers it will be really hard to then turn around an point the fingers at Republicans as Obamacare being their fault. Heck they were willing to go to the mat for against it.
Oh it wont stop them from trying. But with the extremely short period of time between the shutdown and the Health care implosion wont give the MSM much leeway to parrot the Dem talking points. I dont expect the establishment Republicans to really get any of this.
For the most part they have been spineless bobbleheads simply trying to keep the gravy train flowing. Anyone with an ounce of actual leadership qualities has been quickly marginalized by the RSC for the last 30 years. I think they all know on some level that their "base" had held them in complete contempt for decades now. But are forced to vote for them simply because the alternative is far worse.
I for one am done with the lot of them. The fecklessness, backbiting,power hungry,venal, narcissists that occupy the power structure need to be tossed out on their asses. Until that is done nothing will ever get fixed

My nephew went out in a Sombrero and poncho last year, but his mom's Mexican.

No. But only because his mom is Mexican. If it had been a non-hispanic white, it would have been really bad and insulting and La Raza would have been totally justified in burning their house down.

When the volunteer Chinese crossed into North Korea, they came as a show of force against the invading American forces bent on occupying and stealing North Korean technology, oil, and mineral reserves.
Thankfully the Chinese were able to forestall the Imperial American invading Army from raping and pillaging the young nubile North Korean women.

They count on that. 'They' meaning those that revel in the pig-slop, swamp that is DC.
Process as any shitty lawyer knows is the method of goading capitulation. Hence, ratcheting and other other strategies of the Left.
You give up? THe Left says Thanks and does another white-man dance on your kids' future.
Oh I dont give up. I will fully support the massive war that will have to happen inside the party in 2014-15. But I wont bother with helping the RINO's anymore. I reject the better of two evils argument from here on out. I will vote for an actual leader who will point us in the right direction.
But I will no longer vote for two choices which boil down to what to set the cruise control to as we speed into the wall

I did that two years ago--the Charlie Brown "had a little trouble with the scissors" version. I had to wear a baseball cap under the sheet so there was some room to breathe, and I couldn't see worth crap.
And none of my cow-orkers under 35 were able to identify "Charlie Brown's Halloween costume" which depressed me immensely.

Trick -- cyanoacrylates are NOT high temp glues; they start decomposing around 300 degrees. If you have a spot where it was being uses like Loctite, you can get it to release by heating the fastener up with the tip of a soldering iron to decompose the glue

one day we said, 'you're not getting any more of our leftovers!" so we pulled out the only pet food we had. LARGE DOG food. The kibble was about the size of a nickle!
We put the bowl down, he looked at it, looked at us, and went "Meow??" as in "REALLY? You bastards!" (he didn't HAVE to eat it!) We laughed, and he tried some.. In between trying to chew it, he would look at us again and "Me-crunch-ow!?" We just died laughing!
We just ignored him after that. He had plenty of others to mooch off of.
Seems to be some kind of parallel with the LIVs, but I'm not sure....

I have a kitchen sink faucet, with a central screw that seems to work itself out every few months, which means I need to go in there with an allen wrench (to remove the handle) and a screwdriver and tighten it back up. Any way to hold it in there better without permanently fusing it? Getting pretty sick of doing this. And, if I do something, how would I get the screw out again? It's about 1" long, and thin.

Get Purple Loc-Tite (low strength). That way you can lock the threads, but it won't be a pain in the ass to take the screw out if you have to do maintenance on the faucet.

Although I'll bet that Sandra Bullock gets a Best Actress nomination. Whether she wins probably has more to do with internal Academy politics, which I don't pretend to understand, or care about.
Posted by: rickl at October 27, 2013 01:06 AM
I'm just messing with you. I must admit it looks intriguing. But... everytime I see a trailer, it's like "Clooney and Bullock? Fuck off. Not buying that shit for a second." Like the premise though. Mind you it was covered in that godawful "Mission to Mars" rather well. Tim Robbins was an easier sell as an astronaut than either of those two. Weird performance by Sinise, but it was a tres sucky screenplay, so it's forgiven.

Wow, watching the San Diego St/Fresno St. game. SD St. made a great offensive play and looked like they were going to tie the game, then fumbled but didn't realize it so stopped playing; then FSU picked up the ball and ran it in for a TD. Bummer for the Aztecs. Oh well, their cheerleaders are really really hot!

don't correlate with my memories at all, though pictures 7 and 8 are close. Perhaps they have a different patch of land designated as Wildwood now but back in the day it was hilly forest with log stairways, a couple of tree mounted platforms, running waterways. Used to go there frequently as a kid.

I loathe the Red Sox, but am no fan of the Cardinals.
I like both teams and have since the 67 Gibby v Yaz series. I don't care who wins cause I know it will be a good series. I've seen games in both Fenway & Busch (old) and really enjoyed both places, Fenway for the ambiance/history, Busch cause there are really no fans more knowledgeable about the game anywhere, crazier maybe *cough* Cubs fans *cough*. if anything may be more Cards because F the DH.

year. I haven't missed TV at all up to now, but it's pretty tough not
being able to watch the World Series.

Same. first year I've missed a Steelers game since my dad died in '94 (had to catch a Sunday flight... he'd have been pissed!).
But. I'm not paying $100/month for crap channels and crap reality shows and crap commercials. $8/mo netflix.
Wee bit cheaper. And other shows I can snatch off the computer and HDMI them into the TV, no commercials. Fuck commercials!

I am also not paying the fucking media complex. They might still be rich assholes without my money, but I am no longer paying them to tell me how much they hate me, and I am no longer watching/listening when they spout off about how much they hate me (and anyone else that thinks each generation owes the next generation a real chance.)

I'm a nerd, but the thing is the smarter I get as a nerd the more I realize it's smarter to reduce your visible online signature to as close to 0 as you can get it.

Exactly. It was actually my "Fuck 'em" sensibility that made it possible.
It wasn't easy at first. I had the TV jones bad for about 3 weeks. I missed the NFL and college football a whole bunch. I missed the superbowl for the first time since I saw Lenny Dawson play in the game. I had seen every one since then.
And then, it just kinda faded away. I just don't even think about it any more. And, I have a lot more actual life now that I am not glued to the fucking idiot box. I am not inviting their bilge into my life and I no longer even miss it.

Exactly! At first, you freak out a bit... then you're thinking: "eh.. do I really give a shit?" Nope. And you start doing more stuff with the fam, and really, actually? you get your life back.

I often wonder if their industry has ever considered that their horseshit politics are driving away their best customers. Once you stop using their crack you see how horrible it really is and how much better your life is without it.

I wondered the same thing. For about a week.
Then I laughed and went fishing.

Fuck you, Carl. If I say you're pulling a shift at the nuclear power plant, which is you know, your job, Obama doesn't figure into it.

the most annoying thing about the left is their bullshit related to jobs. we are paid to please other people. you may not have to like each individual you encounter, but without pleasing other people there is no reward. so on the whole (despite the miscellaneous assholes we all have to deal with), your job is the most prominent way for us to express love for strangers.
leftist dipshits somehow get it in their head that government is love and working is the opposite. what a completely fucked up world view.

I feel the same. The cable is mainly there for my mother. She has never gotten used to the idea of video on demand. Renting videos was where her memory banks maxxed out. She has a couple dozen DVDs my siblings and I have bought for her, and I've downloaded hundreds of hours of material she asked about. But she never watches them. For her, TV is something that happens on the networks schedule, though she does use the TiVo.
In fact, I'd probably drop the TiVo subscription if it wasn't for my mother. My sister is a bit mystified when I talk about network drives but she can understand how to bring up videos on the HTPC if I make a desktop icon.
Myself, I haven't followed a broadcast series for over a year. I just have a hard time getting interested anymore it seems. People gushed over Breaking Bad but after sampling it I just felt like it would be good if everybody died and left a better world for their absence. Perhaps I'd feel that way about the Sopranos if it started today.

Well after reading upthread a bit, it looks as if I'm not the only one that kicked the tv habit. Good to know. Myself, I quit watching tv when NCIS had a show where a honor killing was done by a Christian. That was probably 3 years ago, or more.
