Credit goes to rintense for the pic. It's really neat. On to Valhalla!

You must bring us....

A SHRUBBERY!

I wish to apply for full Viking Kitty membership! What must I do? :) - TheBigB

Fellow Kittens, we have a request, I submit to you TheBigB.

TheBigB wishes to join the ranks, what say ye?

[jriemer]

I say we have a Mandatory VK muster! All Units must check in. I feel that there will be a rise in DU interceptors on our threads. Heads up Kitties!

You woke me from my nap...

[4mycountry]

Oh Zavien, the thought is sweet, but I have a rather upset stomach and I cant eat anything without wanting to puke! Sorry, I'll just put those in the freezer...*does so*

[rudypoot]

Not once did you mention the 9/11 attacks. ALL of the issues you wrote about are connected to the attacks.

The recession would've been less severe without 9/11.
We would've NEVER attacked afghanistan OR Iraq without 9/11.
Quit propagating the lie that 70+ Americans have been MURDERED since the end of major hostilities. About half are due to accidents. No one likes to see our troops die. But don't use their death for your political purposes.
Point out where the US has FAILED in Iraq with facts. You can't erase what 20 years of Saddam did to Iraq in a matter of mere months.

PS Crawl back under your bridge from where you came.

Here in Lubbock, earnest young social science students have actually been forced to start rationing the homeless among themselves, since duplication is frowned upon, and there aren't enough to go around for all the term papers, theses and dissertations that seek "hard-core, first hand" evidence of their "plight". The Salvation Army says that there are no more than 30 people living on the streets permanently here, and about half that number who are temporarily homeless and in immediate need at any particular time.

This reminds me of a joke that an old Army buddy of mine, a Navajo who was born and raised on a res, told me:

(Q) "How many people in the average Navajo family?

(A) Four: Mom, dad, baby, and the anthropologist."

In Seattle, the homeless are organized, they even have a newspaper. There is also a "tent city" of homeless that moves around from church to church. There are professional homeless people selling the homeless newspaper every day on downtown street corners. I always wonder why if they are organized enough to have a newspaper, why can't they organize themselves into sharing apartments? Maybe because that wouldn't serve someone's political agenda.

- I see that I did, sorry....

[MWS]

I think that he must pass... THE TEST!

Whatever that is...

[TheBigB]

I humbly bow to the greatness of the Viking Kitties and offer yon shrubbery as an sacrifice.

5 Steps to being a Viking Kittie:

1. You must hate liberals.
2. You must be willing to kill liberals.
3. You must be OK with lightning pics.
4. You must find out what Valhalla is and learn the importance of Led Zeppelin.
5. You must visit this thread.

There you go, and Welcome to the VKs!

[jriemer]

TheBigB must bow down before the altar in the High Church of The Cult of the Viking Kitties and swear "To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!"

With that, he will be a Viking Kittie.

[Zavien Doombringer]

You must answer these questions three, and the other side he see

[MWS]

Yes, it is a good shrubbery. I like the laurels particularly. But there is one small problem....

We are now *no longer* the Knights Who Say "Ni" Viking Kitties! ;)

[Zavien Doombringer]

Agreed!

Hey BigB, it only hurts for a few days, sorta like coughing a hairball that's stuck...

[MWS]

Not only that, but TheBigB must watch the Sacred Flash Video 50+ times... ye cannot be a Viking Kittie without knowing the Sacred Flash Video inside out!

They apparently got their figures from A History of Modern Homelessness in New York City. Slow loading .pdf file, but interesting. They blame the problem on lack of availability of affordable homes, not the reasons cited by this article. Also noted is that Bloomberg has a court case pending to put people out of shelters and into the streets. And BTW, homelessness started skyrocketing in 1998.

ZOT on target. CEP: Zero.

Zothawk flight, you are free to RTB.

[ravingnutter]

AMAZING how all these people went homeless AFTER Clinton left office!

See post #78...according to the research where they got their figures, the rate skyrocketed in 1998.
