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.

I usually can't find anyone willing to go with me, so I just don't dance.

"Does Morning Thunder have a lot of caffeine in it?"

Well, it will definitely make you feel as though you are a boiling cauldron of frenetic energy.

"Everyone just moved around without touching. The last time I danced before that was about 3 years ago at another party - and people just moved around without touching. I think the last time I actually touched someone while dancing was when we waltzed and polka-ed in high school PE class."

The Lonely Crowd by David Riesman, June 1969. Everything old is new again.

[tuliptree76]

Aah. That's a no-no for me then.

Caffeine = migraine.

I'd end up lying on my bed waiting for the throbbing to go away instead of typing my paper. LOL!

[Baraonda]

I'd introduce you to someone, but he isn't the type you would want to know.

In the web comic Girl Genius, they use it as a statement to mean "Sieze" somebody.

"You need a computer to figure out that riddle. I think I = E."

You're supposed to use the computer between your ears. If I = E, does the word THE appear in the puzzle?

[Army Air Corps]

Caffeine has the opposite effect on me. I sometimes drink coffee when I have a headache because caffeine cures my headaches.

[tuliptree76]

I can't understand why people are afraid of dancing while touching someone's hand or shoulder. Then again, I can't understand why people like gangsta rap.

Kids today...

Did I mention I like watching the "Lawrence Welk Show"? That's good music to dance to! (And they did on the show.)

[tuliptree76]

For a majority of people, caffeine cures headaches. I'm in a small part of the population who actually get headaches from it.

[tuliptree76]

LOL!

He'd probably run away screaming when I mention what I do anyway. ;-)

[NicknamedBob]

I cannot deduce from context that it is anything other than a means of indicating a coded message is to follow.

However, I note that the spelling order is slightly different. A different meaning may have been imposed upon it.

[Baraonda]

"does the word THE appear in the puzzle?"

No, it don't.

I'll try to solve it tomorrow.

[Baraonda]

Actually, there could be a THE in XLI, but not in PIX.

[NicknamedBob]

"No, it don't."

Yes, it do. Good luck.

[Baraonda]

Thanks.

I now know X=T and L=H.

[NicknamedBob]

"He'd probably run away screaming when I mention what I do anyway"

Well, Tulip, you'll note that we have the good manners and grace to not do that.

We just slink sideways quietly ...

[Baraonda]

I got it!

Go back four letters to find the correct letter.

[Darksheare]

True.

Our troll friend Etaoin was saying pretty much that we need ot ask permission to spy on terrorists..

"Our troll friend Etaoin was saying pretty much that we need ot ask permission to spy on terrorists.."

It seems only polite. Do you think Bin Ladin will grant us permission if we ask him?
