on that note I'm going to force down an OXYCODN/APAP 10/325 for the pain in my arm and try to get some sleep...

Well, Fresno State just beat Idaho 45-32 but they were far from convincing. Idaho are the college equivalent of last season's Dolphins. American football gear does puzzle me. Those guys are just too big and burly to make stretchy pants look good...

Ohio state won 16-3 and I still think the game sucked. No offensive touchdowns? Pryor's got to stop overthinking his moves and do something on instinct or we'll never get past Michigan!

Actually, since McCain's using most of these words in his ads, I figured I'd get those interested in it, to brush up on their right-wing vocabulary

I rest my case. Even though I fratured my upper arm in four places, it's still not in a cast. this means that it gets sore quickly, but it should be completely healed in about another 14 days. ...that's why you guys only hear from me every so often.

Just what the hell is YOUR definition of a liberal? Specifically and exact?????? It seems to be an all-purpose one size fits all, but no one really knows what they mean. Similar words are Faggot-He may not be one, but if you don't know he's married with four kids, you can pick up manerisms that might mean he is one... even if he isn't. Witch!-which means you have to prove you're NOT one or be burned at the stake. I really believe that anyone the right-wing wants to attack, they simply attach the "bogeyman" stigma to, they just lump them into the catagory of "liberal" Those congressional "liberals" caused the stock market to crash... but which ones? Point out one of them to me, tell me their names? Those liberals are trying to push their immoral ways on the rest of the decent society... Can you point out to me specifically which one of the group you're pointing to vaguely that did?

LOL Doc. Anita Bryant started the "Recruiting" bullshit back in the 70s, but warning everyone that gay men were kidnapping little boys from playgrounds. Oddly enough she also said gay men were kidnapping little girls for the same reason... she sort of lost her credibility after that, but Jerry Falwell picked up the ball she dropped and ran with it, adding the lie that gays give you aids so that your infected with the homosexual gene. gads...

The notion of gays recruiting new homosexuals is the one that intrigues me... I used to write revue sketches for my little theatre group back in England, so we'll take the mental picture of a couple of grim-looking guys in rainbow camouflage fatigues handing out flyers outside a gay bar and see where it leads us. Ah, an earnest-looking young man has just taken one of the flyers, read it briefly, and gone inside the bar. He comes face to face with a stern-looking man in shirt-sleeves sitting behind a desk. 'Yes?' 'I'm thinking of becoming homosexual.' 'You are, are you?' [picks up pen] 'Name?' 'Steve Costa.' 'Steve Costa? What kind of poncy straight name is that? From now on you're Hank Goodthrust. Got that?' 'Yeah, think so.' 'It's SIR to you, Goodthrust! Let's hear it!?!' 'Yes, sir.' 'Good. Now. Age?' 'Seventeen.' 'Hmm... bit long in the tooth, but we can still work with it. Any communicable diseases? HIV, hepatitis, gonorrhea, syphilis?' 'No, sir.' 'Excellent. Blank canvas.' [turns to group of men secretly listening behind a lace curtain] 'I think we've got a live one here, girls. Now for the physical exam...' [slips on latex glove] 'Drop your pants, Goodthrust, and bend over...' I could continue for some time here spoofing the first 30 minutes of the movie Full Metal Jacket, but I think the result would be unperformable pretty much anywhere...

Kinda ironic isn't it, sort of what happened to heretics during the inquisition...

I like it! What I like more is that the religious right is dying a slow and painful death. :)
