on the outside you might not look like a geek, but we all know the true.

I saw Penn and Teller do their magic act at the Rio last weekend and I liked it a lot. They made no bones about be Libertarians and incorporated a nice pro-American message into their act. This is something I hope more entertainers do because usually it's the other way around.

You know, I'm getting to the point where my images collection is almost large and diverse enough that I can soon communicate almost exclusively through the IMG tag on forums.

I watched the one about the female orgasm the other week and it was so funny. I always thought they were just two annoying guys who didn't do much. But they were really really clever and funny. I stand corrected.

lol..saw that earlier.

"I feel very good for her [Mrs Clinton] to have answered - almost in the affirmative," Mr Chepkurgor told the BBC's Network Africa programme.

"She promised that she will take the proposal to the daughter and I am now waiting," he said.

and waiting.

and waiting..

and waiting...

and ...make that 39 goats. We can't fast forever.

...still waiting...

40 goats and 20 cows for one dog is not a fair trade.

yeah, yeah, I know. I'm a bad man.

Heh. She's not that bad. I'd hit it; but not for various livestock.

I'm at the River Rock Casino in Vancouver. Xolik, I'm thinking of you. There are Asians EVERYWHERE!! You'd love it here.

Night of August 11th:

* Novice climbs to the roof and watches the sky for the meteor "shower" until 4:30am. Sees about five.

Night of August 12th:

* Novice climbs to the roof after four heated games of beer pong and one of beer ball.

* Novice wakes up at 6:00am August 13th (still on roof) and doesn't remember seeing anything.

What a jip!

Ya.

So Number One Son has been excited about District 9 for months already, and some time ago I promised I would go with him to a midnight screening on opening night at some local venue. Earlier this week, I counceled him sternly about the care one should take in determining the exact day and time of suchlike midnight showings, for they are oft subject to the vagueries and whims of boneheaded theater managers. "If they are on the ball," I told him, "they will schedule the showing not at midnight, but at an unambiguous time, such as maybe 23:59 or 00:01. That way," I said, feeling posititvely Sotomayor-like in my profound wisdom, "That way, there will be no doubt as to which calendar day the screening is scheduled for." Well, Number One Son quickly browsed to the Regal Cinema website and announced, "August 13, 12:01 am." I looked, and, sure enough, there it was, just as he said. "Hmmm, unusual for a film to have a Thursday opening..." I murmured thoughtfully. "Check some other theaters in our area." He did, and at every one of them found the same entry -- Thursday, August 13, 12:01 am. So last night at around 23:15 we got in the truck and headed out to the theaters, only to find them deserted. We knocked on the door, rousing a befuddled youth wielding a bucket and mop, who helpfully informed us that "uh... we're uh... closed." And there, just to the left, was a big poster for District 9, with a boldly emblazoned rebuke across the bottom: "Opens August 14". "Never mind," I exclaimed stalwartly, "let's run home and watch the meteor shower!" But in the time that it had taken us to drive to the theater and back again, the fog had rolled in, obscuring the fantastic light show. So I had a Guinness and we watched a Season 1 episode of Lost and went to bed. We'll try again tonight. And I wouldn't give back the time I spent with my son last night for anything.

Story about quality time with his son.

Awwwwww....how nice!

See it was August 13, 2010, that way it would be early Friday morning

I'm a bad, bad man for enjoying this too much.

No you're not. If you are, I am.

Wait.

At any rate, isn't it funny how "Doctor" Kent Hovind's about page on his website doesn't say anything about him doing time in a Federal prison?

ivan · « **Reply #4291 on:** August 14, 2009, 05:04:33 PM »

I liked District 9 a lot.

I've also reached a time of life when I realize that no one benefits from knowing my opinions. I mean, District 9 could be a totally crappy movie for someone else.

But if you go see it, and you like it as much as I did, then you are pretty fucking smart.

Y'know what, I'm glad I clicked the link that brought me back by this way tonight, but it's getting damn late and I'm going to bed.

Thought you should know.

Always makes me nostalgic to see someone sporting the HN!

squirelmasta772. Not too much of a regular or anything, but enough to make it here I guess.

I decided to take out the misspelling and the numbers and start somewhat fresh.

Yeah, I can't remember being much of a fan of squirrelmasta, though I'm sure things have changed. Here's to new beginnings, right?

So my friend's dad makes bullets and he and my friend sells them by the box at local gun shows. Normally he pulls in about $300-600 per show, which is a modest amount considering it's more like a side hobby for him. Ever since Obama took office, he's now making about $2000-3000 per show. Apparently Obama is going to ban all weapons because he's part of the Zionist conspiracy to enslave all white people on behalf the the space lizard master race to prevent the second coming of Christ who happens to be the only person who knows the location of the REAL birth certificate.

My friend just nods, smiles, and takes their cash.
