China will never go down, and don't think you can banish communism. Because the people won't let it. They know they are the last standing, they are the only ones left. America is in a decline while China's climaxing, America will go down. We are just done with our prime, if anything, we were going into a depression since 1992 (and don't say you don't know that year). Communism is the American's medias' worst nightmare, because of censorship. I hope we all have to read one newspaper and wipe my butt with one brand of tiolet paper. I hope we all die for our next generations to wear the red armband. We deserved 9/11, and they enjoyed it. You probably hate me now, I know, you just still think like its 1945, well too bad its 2005. We only stand to fall.
Not any more! I'll have my son-in-law look at it when I get to Vegas on Thursday.
It's been a while since I had a vehicle, and even longer since I was around "mechanics" so I'm a little off my game, dangit!
The mechanic raised up from under my hood,
An' he shook his head an' said: "This ain't good:
"Your timin' belt's done shrunk one size too small.
"Those spark plug wires are a little too long,
"And your main prodsponder's nearly gone.
"Your injector ports are stripped, and that ain't all.
"The torque converter's runnin' low on torque,
"And that water pump's nearly down a quart.
"We caught it all in time so you're in luck."
He said: "I've got the time an' I've got the parts:
"Just give me the word an' I'm ready to start.
"I think we can bring her in for eight hundred bucks."
But don't be downhearted,
I can fix it for you, sonny.
It won't take too long,
It'll just take money.
Then he said: "Aren't you that songwriter guy?"
An' I said: "Yes, I am." He said: "So am I."
He sat down and played me a song by the grease rack.
When he finished singin', he gave me a smile,
An' I closed my eyes and pondered awhile.
An' he said: "What do you think? Now don't hold nothin' back."
Well, I gave him my most sorrowful look,
An' I said: "This song's got a broken hook.
"But I can order you a new one from Nashville but it won't be cheap.
"An' I know you've been using a cut-rate Thesaurus,
"'Cause your adverbs are backed up into your chorus:
"Now your verse is runnin' on verbs that are way too weak."
But don't be downhearted,
I can fix it for you, sonny.
It won't take too long,
It'll just take money.
An' I said: "Hold on friend, now I'm not through:
"I hate to be the one to give you this news,
"But your whole melodic structure's done worked itself loose.
"It's got so many dotted eighth notes in it,
"I'd keep her under fifty beats per minute.
"I mean, that's just me talkin': it's really up to you."
"An' you've got a bad safety problem with,
"That dominant chord with the augmented fifth:
"Just see how dangerously high it raises you up.
"So just go on over an' work on my car,
"An' I'll sit here by the fan and chances are,
"I can straighten this thing out for eigh er, nine hundred bucks."
But don't be downhearted,
I can fix it for you, sonny.
It won't take too long,
You guessed it.
Well, it may be a hit.
I like it.

Hello!
How are you this evening? *she asks demurely*
Bwaaaahahahahahahah!!!!
You'll get her fixed up just fine.

S N O R T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
China has not always been our enemy, and the Chinese people are not now. This too shall pass.
China is changing, rapidly, and it needs to. Change also came to the Soviet Union. They thought they were getting "Restructuring."
What they got was a large measure of freedom. It will come to China too. Economic opportunity is growing. Christianity is growing.
Change is coming, and it will be good for China, and for us.
A Brack Escarade? wid clome wheers??
Of course.
I believe that to be true, although I posed the question, anyway. Of course, if (since?) it is true, what implications does that truth bring to bear upon each of us? THAT is the thorny question, and the one which so many spend their entire lives avoiding.
Thanks, Stephen!!! I needed that!
*LOL*
The Wren Boys behaved themselves!
Yah, Teddy...I feel like ever' bit a thet-there song!
(And to think I was The Pit Crew for "Lucille" ~~ an NHRA "runner"....)
Sinuses?
I thought it was "sinusi" ~~ plural...like cactus/cacti?
Good!
Stay! We like you!
