I'm fed up with the unspoken sentiment that only religious people can be/are good and patriotic citizens. I also dislike a religion trying to put everyone on the spot to conform to their wishes in a public setting; I didn't and won't.

Returning from a Nigerian party in Connecticut.

The quote of the day, "Only in America."

Too true.

Nigerian's, they really know how to have a good time.

Were you there to fullfill a 419 request?

clark · 2005-07-31 20:44:23

Over my head.

I make all sorts of friends.

edit- Ahhhhhh!

My money should be arriving shortly.

Some sigs that struck me recently:

Smith and Wesson, the original "Point and Click" interface.

I stole this sig from someone smarter than me.

You can beat me but you can't make me smarter.

Oh yeah, Michael Griffin actually said that last one.

More to come, maybe.

I suppose burning the haystack is one way to find a needle.

87% of Americans believe their driving skills are "above average"

93% of American males rate their love-making skills as above average

Cobra Commander · 2005-08-01 13:09:20

They aren't the ones to ask.

clark · 2005-08-01 14:48:28

And the other 7% rate it as excellent?

LO

I'm about month behind on most threads, with little chance of ever catching up, but Cindy said something a while back about enjoying the flavour combination of salty and sweet.
-- I have a confession to make about a personal weakness of mine which closely matches that: Salt 'n' vinegar potato crisps and icy cold Coke! Mmmmmm!!! :oops:

To my friends' eyes and mouthes, I'am a pretty good cook.
In my favorite preparations are Madras curry chicken cooked with dried corinthian grapes, and duck cooked with oranges and clementines, flambé with 25 years old Armagnac.
one and other with basmati rice
mmmmmmmmmmmh

HUSH, don't tell anybody, but that's real gourmet's cooking, recettes are top secrets*

I am in the process of resurrecting the dead. With mixed results.

Saved one, but the next on the list looks like it may be a goner... [sigh]

clark · 2005-08-01 20:25:10

They are dropping like flies. Sh*t. :cry:

Josh Cryer · 2005-08-02 02:33:59

Sorry to hear that clark.

http://chaz6.com/enterprise/]Look on the bright side.

clark · 2005-08-02 06:07:47

Haha.

Poor Red Shirts. They all can't go home.

BWhite · 2005-08-02 16:26:34

Another great sig:

OK; I know they aren't real, but some of those voices have really good ideas!

Palomar · 2005-08-02 16:30:26

*Some bumperstickers which could be sigs (except for maybe the last two...but they're funny anyway):

I do whatever my Rice Krispies tell me to.

Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Don't honk! I'm pedaling as fast as I can!

Dyslexic devil worshippers sell their souls to Santa.

--Cindy

P.S.: Bill's post reminded me of another one:

You're jealous that the voices are talking to me.

clark · 2005-08-02 16:42:56

I am the voice in your head.

Read the above silently. You'll get it.

Cobra Commander · 2005-08-04 07:31:45

"Everybody Hurts", REM. You know, they had that music video with a traffic jam and subtitles a few years ago.

So I'm sitting in gridlock on the freeway yesterday, not moving at all. That song comes on the radio, so I rolled down my windows and cranked it. A couple people looked over and smiled, getting the reference and in a few moments had it on too. I don't know how far up the line it went but the mood in my immediate vicinity suddenly became much more pleasant overall.

Then it ended and "Patience" by Guns n Roses came on. That's when the off-roading started.

Josh Cryer · 2005-08-04 07:51:52

Heh, "Everybody Hurts" by REM saved my life once. Good song.

clark · 2005-08-04 10:20:21

"Can you take me to Funky Town" saves mine everyday.

Cobra Commander · 2005-08-04 11:06:10

Another sig:

"There we were, two against two thousand. We kicked the crap out of those two guys."

clark · 2005-08-04 11:09:04

Another other sig:

"There we were, two against two thousand."

Ad spot for Viagra.

clark · 2005-08-04 17:14:33

Apropos of nothing, and nothing indeed.

[sigh] Sigh. The howling moon, or is it me?

I wonder what I shall do. I wonder what I have done. I wonder if I should wonder and in wonder I shall wander in wonder beneath a wandering howling moon.

Or is it me?

I don't see it right now, but I know it is there. Like so much in life, like so much learning in life, the things we know that are never seen, but still we know are there. I am here, and it is all there, somewhere, over there. Out there. Something out there, waiting beyond the edge of sight and mind to come into full view and be seen and experienced and remembered and lost again, only to return to that intangible state of knowing it is there. Knowing it is somewhere, over there, but not here.

If all these things stopped seeing me, or experiencing me, or remembering me, would I no longer be here? Would I be somewhere, over there, not here, just howling to a moon that isn't there?

What?

I don't know. I think it is just me. Me, sighing [sigh]. And a moon that is howling.

Or is it me?

I'm a member of the Cryonics Institute, and will have my body frozen upon my death.

If you were ever wondering how eccentric I really was.
