Crap Throwing Monkey

That's very true...but it has less to do with the hospital and more to do with the fact that they're friggin' trauma cases. Unless it's Cook County Hospital between 10 and 11 on a Thursday night.

I'm assuming, of course, that Souter spelled it "accept" rather than "except" in deference to Wacka's English skills?

I still don't get it. Can you explaining it using a clown analogy, or maybe in terms of salmon swimming upstream to spawn?

I knew it was there, I just couldn't make it work. So I tossed it out there, trusting someone in the peanut gallery to come up with it...

You think that's hypocrisy? Wait 'til they start bitching about the plight of young, low-income, unwed mothers.

Sure, come on down...you can play my cowbell...

Wait...you're not saying the situation on the ground is actually complex, are you?

Or maybe the dog's asking you "Hey, am I doing this right?"

Maybe he's looking for pointers...

That's not bull sh--, that's the debate equivalent of "I'm rubber, you're glue..." Look at it this way: Me: founder of the theory of Unipodal Spherical Geckology, and contributor to Gecko-Chameleon unified theory. You: Work with T-Bone. Ergo, I am the King of All Bullsh***ers, whereas you just wallow in it.

Was that a tasteless Alzheimer's joke? If so, I'm all for it.

Yeah. Sure. But...no, since "guard" derives from the same Germanic root as "garten" (thus, the Germanic word "kindergarten" - to watch over the children), which itself derives from the Indo-European root "girt-". Whereas "yard", derives via the Germanic language from the Indo-European root "gher-" Which, incidentally, is where the British confusion over the "h" and "silent g" in words like "scatging" come from. It's a bone of contention in the linguistic profession whether the Indo-European root "gher-" is pronounced "her-" or "ger-". Or even something like "zher-" or "jer-". So the British confusion is understandable. Or, in other words...don't try to out-bull sh-- a bull sh-- artist.

UAE? Dubai Ports?

And of all the homophobes I know (quite a few), not one considers Westboro "somewhat representative" of them. They sure as hell don't support "Love Crusades" to "the real Brokeback Mountain, University of West Virginia" to protest Gay Pride week.

Whoa...nice stretch of logic there. UAE is just another terrorist organization? And people say the ports issue isn't about racism. Why not just be realistic about your attitudes and call them "sand !@#$s" already...

Gary Bettman? That's not saying much. Hey, Gary, remember the Stanley Cup playoffs in '05? Yeah, neither does anyone else... :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:

Like when you limeys call a flashlight a "torcg", or "fisg and cgips", or the geir to the tgrone, Prince Cgarles...

If you can't even spell "scathing" properly, that's probably a good bet.

Just curious...any issue? How about the Columbia tragedy? They relate that to homosexuality? Just wondering if they did, and if so, how. Could be a fun game...instead of the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, we could have the Two Degrees of the Westboro Baptist Church...get from any issue to "God Hates Fags" in two steps or less.

I agree. If that deal works out, than we the fans, as the owners of the league, should eat some crow...

Wasn't their justification that Reagan started the funding against AIDS, and in doing so supported gays? My respect for Moore actually doubled knowing that. Of course, twice nothing...

The caveat to this being that those Westboro people are absolutely nucking futs, and in no way representative of...well, anyone but themselves, frankly. As evidenced by the fact that they consider Iraq a homosexual issue.

Ken's basement.

While I think that was FAR too harsh, and Armadillos in no way deserved it...conceptually, it was way !@#$ing funny.

And this wasn't one of your usual bait-and-switch tactics. sh-- like that is why you get ridiculed; if there's even the merest hint your initial knee-jerk ignorant reaction might possibly be wrong, you start blasting away randomly like Cheney on a quail hunt and hope just maybe you make a relevant point.
