HAHA!!!! HAHA!!! I knew it!!! Here he is, purple and mutated and all shake-stealing too!!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 18, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) Must. Marry. Her. OK, now that this McDonaldland Pandora's Box has been opened, I'll tell you what's been bugging me for like 25 years. Where did the rest of Grimace's other arms go?!? That's right, all you youngin's may not know it and all you old farts may have forgotten, but Grimace originally had FOUR ARMS! He used to steal four shakes at a time with them too, so he may have been in cahoots with the Hamburgler. I got to doubting my own recollection of the 4-armed Grimace a few years ago, and then at a McDonald's I saw a picture on an older hi-chair table top and there he was, with four shake-pilfering arms. On the same hi-chair was this poem which I for some reason commited to memory: Who's round and jolly and full of fun? Who's shaped like a great big hamburger bun? Who makes kids laugh with the greatest of ease? 'Who else?' says Ronald, 'But Mayor McCheese!' Time to purge the mental hard drive I think.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jan 18, 2005 -> 06:31 PM) I'm in secondary education (student teaching next school year at this time) and NCLB is such a pain in the ass. It doesn't do anything to benefit schools -- it was just a reactionary "We're getting tough on schools" move by people who have no clue what they are doing regarding education since they never stepped foot in a classroom as a teacher or administrator. You clearly don't get the idea behind No Child Left Behind. If we drop out enough of the core curriculum and spoonfeed a nation of functionally illiterate kids and just let them matriculate through the system and not be bothered really making sure they are learning... well then, no child has been left behind, right?

If there's one thing that brings all sides together it's blowing crap up just for giggles! That thing blowed up reeaal good!

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jan 18, 2005 -> 12:07 PM) Ahhhh, thanks Queen, that'd been bugging me as well. I assume that was the intent.

The best part of that piece was the description of Angelina Jollie as a "stunningly beautiful and intermittently talented actress."

A Very Happy Birthday to you!!

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 10:18 PM) Here I was thinking that the wet spot was just too big in his bed for them to continue. Or maybe they hit a slick patch and just kind of slid out of one bed and into the other?

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 12:28 AM) My Freshman year of college, I came back from a weekend at home... unlock the door to my dorm room to find my roommate and a girl in MY BED. What the heck?!? There is likely a logical reason for that, and I propose two hypotheses... 1) They figured your bed was not being given a sufficient workout (Not to worry - that's the case with most Freshmen...) 2) Nobody wanted to get the wet spot.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) I think Bush has enough common sense to realize that we are in no position to invade anymore countries. I rest my case.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 08:39 PM) Every time I watch some asshole on TV talk about how the president f***ed up this or should have done that I think to myself "Why SHOULD he reach out to the other side?" The truth is that the left hates Bush so much that it doesn't make any difference what he does, they'll just hate him more. Better to just bury them so deep in the minority that their shrill voices don't sound quite so annoying. Every time I watch some asshole on TV, it usually turns out to be Bush.

I think Bush never got the Risk boardgame he wanted for Christmas as a kid, and now he's making up for it. Seymor Hersh rocks. He's the big reason we now know Albert Gonzales is really more about wiping his ass with conventions that protect human rights than worrying about upholding them.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jan 16, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) So, the above comments don't bother you at all? If my guy won and said stuff like that I would be PISSED. That kind of arrogance is an unbecoming representation of our country. That is the point, of course. How can even the biggest Bush backers (which I know YAS is not) feel good when he expressly states he sees no need to hold anyone in his administration accountable for what has happened in Iraq? It is a moronic thing to say. Just like his suggestion that he feels he never has to explain himself to anyone because he's the King (see sig).

Full story: Bush Says Voters Ratified Iraq Policy Can there be a more arrogant asshole on the planet? The guy wears his stubbornness and self-inflicted ignorance like a badge of honor. How is it good that the President that surrounds himself with sycophants and ass-kissers and orders them not to bother him with any bad news about the war instead of finding people that will give him honest assessments he can use? And in an unrelated act of Presidential hubris, social security funds are being tapped to propagandize for the controversial Bush-backed social security overhaul plan. Yep, Social Security funds are being tapped to back a partisan political agenda - an agenda that is disapproved of by a federal worker's group that represents 77% of social security employees. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/16/politics...print&position=

In Japan the hands are used like knives. But try doing this to a tomato?!?

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 01:46 PM) When did Bea Arthur turn into Phyllis Diller?

Wow. Oedipus Wrecked. For Real. I thought I had seen the last of the old tubgirl.com - but nope, there it is in the references section. I'd have given it a C-. Then I would have demanded that he share whatever it was he was smoking.

QUOTE(valponick @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 09:40 PM) Need to think of a funny caption to this picture, just wondering if anyone had any good ones! Ppssst!... here, chalk... Don't tell the other guy.

So is the Google Spider a Sox Fan here on break, or is he slacking off on the job?

QUOTE(CubKilla @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) I prefer beer over wine and, when I do drink wine, I prefer the classics..... Mad Dog 20/20, T-Bird, Boones, etc. Yumm. Nobody has ever accused you of being a wine snob, have they?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) Are you minimizing the value of the baseball that broke the SIX-YEAR title drought of the long-suffering Florida Marlins fans?????? Yes. Yes I am. Six Years... Oh, the pain...
