QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Nov 8, 2007 -> 10:22 AM) People who refer to a certain dog breed as "loyal". Is there such thing as a disloyal breed? French poodles. Friggin' surrendermonkey dog if ever there was one.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Nov 8, 2007 -> 10:08 AM) I don't own a dog, so thankfully I'm in your good graces, but why is it a pet peeve of yours what someone else owns? That's a weird one for me. Most pet peeves affect you in some kind of way... I'm with Rock on the small dog thing. There's just no reason for some of the ratty little abominations passing for dogs out there. Maybe it's more of a life philosophy than a pet peeve. But if you want a dog get a dog, and if you want a rat get a rat.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 7, 2007 -> 12:55 PM) My point was it's so easy to say what we are doing is "wrong" but is it really? Let's not lump every administration policy into the argument here and just talk about the torture issue at hand. Can you really be suggesting that America can torture in your name and that it can be justified? Not in my name. That is not my America. We prosecuted Japanese military officials as war criminals for waterboarding POWs in WWII. But now it's a gray area?? As a nation, we have previously stood against imperialism and faschism and communism without having to compromise principles regarding the ethics of torture. But now that global terrorists are the proclamed enemy, torture is on the table?

Big fat lazy slug that I am, I guess I'd have to say my biggest pet peeve has got to be all you active people that go to the gym.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 04:23 PM) I haven't seen the movie yet or anything but would anyone agree with me that just based on the trailers alone "Bee Movie" looks terrible? I've actually enjoyed some of the animated family movies that have been made of late including "Ratatouille" and "The Incredibles" but this one just looks bad. Seinfeld's voice isn't really fit for voice over work, the animation looks rather shoddy and I'm not so sure how many more bug jokes can be made after "A Bug's Life" and "Antz" Seinfeld has been promoting the s*** out of this thing, you couldn't go anywhere for about a month there without seeing his face. It's gotten mixed reviews so far, for sure. But I think that is expected here. Seinfeld said he'd meke the movie he wanted to make and whoever likes it likes it. I'm not so sure that's how Dreamworks would have wanted to go about making a film, but after all this one did start out based on nothing more than the title pun shared between Seinfeld and Speilberg over dinner. But the film is way more Seinfeld involvement than him simply doing a few days' voice work. This is his movie, his screenplay, and three years of his life. Whether it succeeds or not, it's all Seinfeld and this is the biggest thing he's done since the series signed off.

A buddy of mine makes a chili from a family recioe that uses green olives in it and it's awesome. Anybody else ever put olives in their chili?

Hope it was a good one, YAS!

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 2, 2007 -> 12:53 PM) Does he even bother trying to say he is an environmental President? Anyway, unlike SCHIP, those votes are seriously, heavily against him. SCHIP didn't have a veto-proof majority - this one looks like it does. I think we're about to see the first veto override of this Presidency. Let's hope so. And, yes, of late, a couple of Bush handlers have noted that as he begins to think more about his legacy he is trying to paint himself as having been pro-environment. His record of failure belies that assertion, certainly, but I guess he figures this might be the only thing he can spin into some sort of a positive from a legacy standpoint.

As, expected, the president vetoed the enormously important (if costly) Water Resources Development Act despite strong support from both houses of Congress (House passed it 381-40 and Senate passed 81-12). Lawmakers say they have the votes to override the veto, but they said that about S-CHIP too. The Everglades restoration project is going to die if the veto stands, as are critical projects in coastal Louisiana and the Gulf coast, in the Great lakes, and in the Mississippi River. How Mr. Bush can try to posture himself as being at environmental president while vetoing this crucial measure is completely beyond me.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 2, 2007 -> 08:47 AM) Scientists have been wrong before. Remember how healthful a cigarette was? Aided digestion and relaxed you. How about the recommendation that we eat lots of red meat to be healthy? I'll bet if they went back in the 70s and looked at all the computer data, you would see they were lying. Your point notwithstanding, the scientists weren't wrong about cigarettes. Reams of scientific findings from the 1950s and even before plainly show that researchers knew cigarettes would shorten lives. it was the tobacco companies that buried the scientific evidence and spun them as part of a healthy lifestyle.

I triple-dog-dare you all to stick your tongues to it and see what happens.

If you have chosen to be bald, you don't get a membership, you get blacklisted. If the day ever does arise when you lose your hair naturally, you will not be allowed in.

QUOTE(Felix @ Oct 31, 2007 -> 01:54 PM) You remind me of my History of Rock/Music & Movies teacher (same teacher for each class), although I don't think he was nearly as much of a Zappa fan (much more of a Dylan fan.. ridiculous Dylan fan). He was from Chicago though... Ach, if only I could teach a Rock History class and a History of Beer class, my life would be perfect!
