  1. i remember ages ago being counseled to be careful around the guy who complains too much about the gays.

    THE EXCUSE

    yeah, i watched the espn vid of the encounter and saw how uga kind of just waddled along and then scooted smartly to get away. that dog would starve to death in the wild unless a decent size carnivore took interest in him. i think previous bevos have had us all lulled into thinking he's essentially a breathing statue. won't any of us think that now. it's not like people will run when they see him, but they'll always know where he is. edit: i hope they have they dog in ptsd protocol or whatever. he wasn't too keen on the whole thing, i think, but i bet he sees cattle in every cloud now.

    THE EXCUSE

    not one on one. the bulldog we see today is a caricature of the animal in the wild. the features that gave the dog its weapons are grossly exaggerated today. the dog in the wild had a short, wrinkled face, long flews and powerful, undershot jaw, a muscular build up front, and long sinewy back legs like today but not so exaggerated. today's dog couldn't hunt like the old bulldog packs hunted. much too heavy today. bulldogs are naturally sociable, so they teamed and schemed to bring down big prey. they set traps for big animals and would attack with lead dogs leaping to grab onto loose skin in the head region. they just wouldn't let go, and others would join in. the big animal would sling its head but just couldn't free itself. the dog was perfectly configured to play this game. the short face allowed it to breathe and the wrinkles and flews channeled fluids away. the tight, muscular body was not so heavy that the bull's tissues would give way. it might take half a day or more, but the pursuing pack would keep swapping out antagonists and keep the big animal from being able to eat or drink. eventually it would stumble and the feast would begin. actually that isn't a bad metaphor for what happened the other night, though the other way around.
  4. had earl campbell had all those good traits but not the desire he had, nobody today would know who he was.
  5. i've spent a lifetime doing design work, and my basic take is you can spend a small fortune trying to come up with something to replace an old, tried-and-true design and come up with largely nothing. if that transport crate and fan do the job, why try to outdo it?
  6. biff, trump isn't even a pimple on the ass of this thing.
  7. care if i take a crack at this one? no, un-uh, i assure you they are ostrich. i distinctly recall paul using that word.
  8. um, yes, well, five is a tad unusual. there may be a bit of a wait.
  9. they should eliminate the ooc games early in the season. those games are straight fluff and meaningless anyway. have the conferences distill their top teams to participate in a playoff starting a month earlier. the bowl money-suckers would present the last games leading to the champ chump.
  10. i love it.
  11. damn, man. would you cut out with this reality stuff. i'm descended from those people and have my own fairy-tale story here to protect.
  12. that's exactly right. the frustrating thing is these are basically good people, but the only reality they understand is their made-up reality. over and again they've been a great boon to this nation, starting with its inception. problem is in a great many ways they are dumb as a hammer and just as destructive in the wrong hands. rupert murdoch spotted them immediately on his setting foot on plymouth rock and set out to use them against the nation.
  13. passage on us.
  14. damn sure ain't people. at least not face to face.
  15. . . . with a rusty spoon.
  16. isn't that what the f-35 is made of? (psst: the 35 is made of that aluminum, too.)
  17. i doubt very seriously that that is right. i think you are still talking about the core group nutballs. the majority of hardcore republicans are probably americans first. the nutballs have never been americans first. to reach the hardcore republicans you have to hit them hard, and that is coming. soon but not sooner.
  18. i've been kind of torn regarding that hammer guy because of the convincing gifs he uses. thankfully he didn't go all-caps, too, or i think i would be a goner by now.
  19. we all realize that this image is made up. there is no slat wall to photograph, and the humpmobile added to the graphic actually appears to be levitating a few inches if you zoom in to look. what we see looks silly to me. look at how long each individual slat is and realize there is no support for any slat except the foundation. we are all familiar with using a length of pipe on a wrench to increase the torque so as to break a recalcitrant bolt/nut. that's called increasing the moment arm. look at how much moment arm they are providing here. also, the little triangle on top is cute, but it provides a great place to catch a loop on a stout cable. hook that cable to a strong truck and pull and envision what happens. if the brown people open a little path to pass a truck through, they can move down a little ways and pull every other slat the other direction and throw plywood across the folded slats on both sides to make nice ramps coming and going. both sides. that has a ring to it.
  20. maybe the whole he's actually been saying oval orifice.
  21. i think we all agree with that. forget trying to change those minds. nothing can reach them once faith has taken hold. concentrate on edifying the rest. there is a large block of people who are in various stages of being torn. nail them down with the gravity of the crimes. the untouchables are a smaller percentage than they might seem.
  22. i think the one above is ny tag like this: edit: oops. had to follow hugo's link to see that pic. sorry. when i said the one above, i hadn't seen the second pic. i meant the first one that has two cars. hugo's second pic looked like this to me: DvtDX4IVsAAUlyY?format=jpg&name=900x900
