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.

Only if you took them out to sea.

Do just fine in the canals of Venice.

You are right.

Brought the comfy chair, sofa was to big to carry.

[NicknamedBob]

Dead Corpse, where are you?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Timber cushions!!

Good night, 'Face. We're heading out to go to dinner (taking advantage of the child being at work.)

[TASMANIANRED]

Shallow draft.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Well if the year goes badly we have something to blame it on.

[TASMANIANRED]

So am I but I haven't told them about it.

If they don't start showering me with rose petals very soon, Fuji will tremble.

She's a god in Japan.

Not a goddess?

[Ichneumon]

Does wonderful work doesn't he?

I'd choose a more emphatic adjective -- something like "astounding".

Meanwhile, for the epitome of chalk-on-sidewalk art, there's Kurt Wenner:

The sidewalks were flat -- the "3D" impression is entirely the result of the artist's skilled use of color and shading.

Similar effects are used by sidewalk-painter Julian Beever:

Just what you need after a hard day of pounding nails.

[TASMANIANRED]

Enjoy the dinner out.

[Lady Jag]

Okay, I said, "Yer much purtier than that!" and you said, "Not after I've been drinking.". And I said, this

?   And your answer was I "don't need to drink to do that".

So, what do you do when you drink?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

But is it comfy?

[TASMANIANRED]

Year will be hell with no peas.

Whirled or otherwise.

[A CA Guy]

[TASMANIANRED]

Holy crumb cake, Batman.

Very good stuff.

And it all washes away with the rain. How tragic.

Goodnight 'Face!!
