Crap Throwing Monkey

Doesn't say anything about what type of school. Theoretically, by the letter of the law, if a middle-aged college professor starts dating a middle-aged college student, it's still a felony. As a practical matter, such a situation would never be prosecuted under the law. Which kind of highlights the stupidity of the law.

Maybe they just need more cowbell...

Of coursem the "other Islamo-fascists" are generally Sunni, so there's no love lost between them and Iran anyway. Rhetoric for the sake of simply keeping the country relatively unified, maybe? Always helps to give the people a boogey-man to focus on...and I have a hard time accepting that the rhetoric is focused outward, as screwball as it is.

So Tiger offended all the spazzes out there. What are they going to do, drool on him?

And that's the fans' fault?

The Gallery Place condo development was what I was specifically thinking of, if anyone cares to try to look up the sales prices. Condo fees alone in that building are north of $1000/month.

It's always nice to see someone turn a hobby they're passionate about into a career...

Sometimes you have to let people make their own mistakes.

So can the average Washington fan. You're talking about a city where 350 sq. ft. studio condos hit the market at $650k and sell in three days. (Not even exaggerating...my wife does the closings for those types of properties). Snyder's pricing the average Buffalo fan out of Redskins season tickets. The average Skins fan is a completely different story.

Around here? Driving new cars their parents bought them, wearing $200 Nikes, and bitching to no end if they have to lift a finger.

Meazza idolizes me. (Hey...worst insult I could think of.)

And here I thought it was something important, like you getting a new tupperware set...

"We're kind enough to translate this into your native language, since you're too damned lazy to learn ours. But please don't be offended by the position of the translation." What the !@#$?

Actually, I was thinking that part of the problem was that there's a skewed idea of what "average" actually is. For example: based on NASA studies, the human body can safely take 2G's for an extended peroid (which is about what the shuttle accellerates at). Ergo, perhaps the designers follow that "conventional wisdom" in designing rides, since it's "common knowledge" that a person can safely take 2G's...forgetting, of course, that the number's based on your average trained astronauts, not Ma and Pa Kettle from East Bum!@#$, Iowa. Plus...I wasn't talking about death, I was talking about intolerance (which includes death, obviously...but is not limited to it). This particular ride apparently has a history of making plenty of people ill. Sever, protracted motion sickness is also a sign of going beyond one's tolerance. If it's as widespread as it's being reported, the ride may very well be beyond the average person's tolerance.

I'm not sure if we need a poll for that. Maybe I should start a poll to find out if we need a poll...

Stuck on a desert island with other lost souls, waiting for rescue? Hell, maybe they're ALL Bills fans. Maybe that's the whole point of the show.

Yeah. Far better to leave operational planning of protracted bombing campaigns to rank amateurs. That's the same logic that causes BF to argue the virtues of retatta with a professional chef...

But VA's short. Like hobbit short.

IT'S STILL AN ENTRENCHING TOOL TO ME, DAMMIT!

But I'll bet no one on the government payroll ever thought of bombing the Iranian electrical grid before that genius stuckincincy posted it on a Bills message board...

bull sh--. The ride has a height limit.

I'm sorry...Hedy Lamarr has exactly what to do with Iran?

Complacent. Idiotic. Same difference. Like the yahoos who watch too many Disney specials, then go to Yellowstone and try to pet the grizzlies or swim in the hot springs.

Or maybe just make ride designers realize where the practical limit of an average person's tolerance is before a ride becomes dangerous. I mean, part of the problem has to be that every "new" ride has to be faster and pull more G's than the last one. It's predictable that eventually someone was going to create one that can be expected to cause the average person problems. It's also somewhat predictable that it was going to be a Disney ride (or Six Flags), since it practically required someone with deep pockets to build it.

Smart humans, or idiots?
