The D.C. police--who gave us that modern marvel called the Chandra Levy investigation--are now giving the local public tips qua combating the Beltway Sniper.

Xs--pay close attention here--it's very simple. The trick is: "When moving outside, walk briskly in a zigzag pattern."

You heard me.

[Slip18]

Holy smokes, Tiger!

[hobbes1]

lol. very good....

[xsmommy]

if i did that, WR, there would BE a death. xsteen would die of mortification!

[Slip18]

As I said on an earlier thread, the zig-zag pattern is only good if you have no cart.

Now, how are you supposed to zig-zag with a cart? Someone give me a break.

These idiots think they're giving us good advice.

[doubled]

While in the qua of a critic
Lawyers may think a heretic
These top ten lawsuits
Are worth lots of hoots
And add to my being a cynic.

[xsmommy]

more quacking qua muslim sniper.

[Slip18]

I don't know how to get "qua" into this sentence, but this is outrageous!

[NeoCaveman]

I was upset that the Jets were off this past week, I'm used to making money betting against them?

Luckily they are playing the Vikes this week, your team should be able to beat the Vikes, right?

[xsmommy]

The sine qua non of the Left's intellectual vacuity is maureen dowd.

[hobbes1]

They can't beat anyone, until they prove it.

I will say, however, with a Healthy Curtis Martin, and a Healthy Wayne Chrebet, and Pennington at the controls, if they can keep Randy Moss from having a 300 yard, three touchdown game...they should be ok.

I am still, however, praying for cold weather.

[xsmommy]

if you have to ask, the answer is probably...no....

speaking of teams that suck, xshub has left the unpleasantness of SU football behind, to embrace the optimism of college bball....

[hobbes1]

Good article, but this guy is taking credit for my observations..

and like Condoleezza Rice, who, in 2008, will likely become both the first African American and the first woman elected president of the United States. (For the record — and you heard it here first — she'll skewer Hillary, platitude by platitude, in a series of Nielson-bonanza debates and take the election in a landslide, thus officially dragging America out of the Clinton Era, that 16-year stretch of moral manure we collectively stepped in back in 1992.)

f*ng plagiarist.

[xsmommy]

i say sue...

Two Arabs boarded a flight out of New York after a hockey game. One sat in the window seat and the other sat in the middle seat. Just before takeoff, an American got on and took the aisle seat.

After takeoff, the American kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, "I think I'll get up and get a beer." "No problem," said the American, "I'll get it for you."

While he was gone, one of the Arabs picked up the American's shoe and spat in it. When he returned with the beer, the other Arab said, "That looks good, I think I'll have one, too."

Again, the American obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the other Arab picked up the other shoe and spat in it. When the American returned to his seat, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.

As the plane was landing, the American slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. "Why does it have to be this way?" he asked. "How long must this go on?

This fighting between our nations?
This hatred?
This animosity?
This spitting in shoes and pissing in beers?"

[xsmommy]

cute!

[doubled]

Now, how are you supposed to zig-zag with a cart?

Most of the carts I get in almost any store zigzag by themselves. Just stay behind it.

[hobbes1]

Any doubt that the thought of it is starting to enter her mind, should be Erased, Right Now!

[xsmommy]

I have to say i disagree with the Rant. In fact, saying that is is racism makes me want to hurl. More than one of the eye witnesses said olive skinned, middle eastern looking. Like i said, that doesn't guarantee ME involvement but it is neither ludicrous nor racist to contemplate it!

[NeoCaveman]

but it is neither ludicrous nor racist to contemplate it!

I'd consider it racist and ludicrous not to consider the ME possibility.
