did you read this? it totally creeped me out to think the guy may have CALLED IN and discussed what he is doing.

[SCalGal]

Don't let them take away your coffee..... I am feeling very sorry for myself this morning, but I need to go to work anyway, and not back to bed, although I am not sure how much work I will actually get done, being so bleary-eyed. I have been up for hours now and it is not helping.

[doubled]

In Arkansas one can vituperate
The dems as the roam through the state
To sign up a business,
Dead from the census,
And vote early so they can vote late.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Got Batteries ? ....

Okay, okay - I'm not usually confused (.... Rika looks up in amazement ...) but ya got me bushwacked with this one.

I understand why you need batteries ....

but where do they get inserted?

How far do they go in?

How do you ride that thing ... and what do you hold on to when you ride it when you have a partner? ( With chaps, leathers and thongs ... You know, motorcycle style? Maybe we should check with Sea on that) ?

When you're flying with the curvy parts all snug and tight, don't the bristles get in your teeth?

Does it go up and down, left-right, or kind of wiggly?

Finally ....

What fits in the slot best? Are they Double-AA cells, C-cells, or Double-DD extra-wide cells?

How long does a batery set last? (All weekend? Or just a few hours?

Their Dummocrats. That means, (excepting Zell Oof course) that they're interchangeable.

[NeoCaveman]

Baucus is sheep dip.

[NeoCaveman]

Referring to old Max Bacteria

[hobbes1]

Good to see Taylor is Back in it.

[CholeraJoe]

Yeah. It's too little too late, I'm afraid.

[Dan from Michigan]

I was just diagnosed with this heart thing - I'm ok - but caffeine is a no-no...

That would put me in tears. I wake up to Mtn Dew.

[Slip18]

Are you okay? What heart thingy? Mitrol valve thingy?

[Dan from Michigan]

Quitting like that though costs him completely.

I'd counter the hairdressing thing by saying that Max Baucus is from the party of gays.

[Slip18]

I never knew the meaning of Mountain Dew before Cyber told me it was filled with caffeine. I always wondered why my nephews and nieces could even swallow that stuff.

[Slip18]

That is one weird broom. Is it a broom?

[hobbes1]

IT is becoming apparent, and Republicans had better learn this soon, That no Ad is too low, and no shot too cheap.

Sure the press might scream about it, but lets face it, the voters at either end of the spectrum are apathetic about the means, and of those in the middle , i suspect 80% are too dumb to have an opinion based on rational thought, and need that kind of hammering to form any opinion whatsoever.

the Day of Whack-A-Mole politics is dawning.

Get in the game or get Whacked Off!

[Dan from Michigan]

I only drink three things. Mtn Dew, Gatorade, or beer.

[Cyber Liberty]

Whazzup? I was over on the turkey-frying thread....
