Anyone have the lyrics to Johnny B's Moo Moo song?

How many times had you refilled that 2 oz glass of wine?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Dec 24, 2005 -> 11:24 AM) If they ran my record they'd see Im a card-carrying Republican, NRA member, military guy and go "next". Which would be a mistake. Just a couple guys that fit the same profile as you. Based on this, YOU should be followed and all your weapons confiscated. They killed many innocent people. By keeping you under observation, how many lives will be saved?

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Dec 24, 2005 -> 03:57 PM) WHY DID YOU LOCK THE FESTIVUS THREAD! well, yesterday was probably the best festivus ever. You should start a Post-Festivus Celebratory Thread

How fun. It was like playing hide and seek, only with a river winding through agriculture and city scapes. I really enjoyed this photo.

This morning a friend and I are doing some exploring is a local river that minds its way through the area. Development on one end has obscured the waterway and we are looking to trace the original path as best as possible for a Boy Scout trip. Later we will be attending Christmas Eve Mass, dinner, and for the first time in 17 years, I have no, nada, zip, none Christmas gifts to assemble.

In a stunning reversal of Festivus protocol, the celebration ends with the unpinning of the thread

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 24, 2005 -> 04:56 AM) Yup. And that's the best you can hope for to get the "power" back. Can't win an election? Impeach the whole executive branch. Always coming back to Clinton and Monica . . .

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 23, 2005 -> 08:40 PM) If Iraq is stable and a lot of the troops come home, there's not a lot (right now) that's wrong. That can change in about 5 seconds with another act of terror. I'm not sure how much Iraq will help, domestic issues and a good economy will matter more. I think the American public just wants out of Iraq.

I think the Presidential approval polls like this are more a reflection on how Americans are thinking about the country than the President. Plus, this is kind of the lull in the two term President. I will make a bold prediction that Bush will surge over the next couple years and will peak at 60-65% at some point. Right now his supporters are still there.

Do they have a chance? Of course. Are they going to be one of the longer odds teams? That is my guess. I'm dusting off my Bears stuff to jump on the bandwagon

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Dec 23, 2005 -> 06:02 AM) I can add "Chicago Dogs " to any of my previous walls and resize to 10x8 if you would like, just let me know which one(s) you would like. Thank you how about this one?

I just got this "Road Runner: Raw" DVD and you would not believe the filthy stuff this bird says to egg on the coyote. Of course in the standard censored version all you ever hear is "beep beep." (Phil Andrews)

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 23, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) Yea, I find that a bit interesting as well. GREEN GREEN GREEN friendly... but it better not effect ME! Unfair comparison. Just like everyone who supports drilling, probably doesn't want to see pipelines and pumps in his backyard, there are better locations for wind and solar plants. Kap, have you been out to west Texas and seen the windmills out on 10? Quite a site, but I wouldn't want to see them on a daily basis out my backyard.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 23, 2005 -> 09:32 AM) Why is that? Because China's "union" is the government, and it was a prerequisite for Walmart to locate in China. Let's also understand that the American concept of Union is not universal. For example, the workers in Mexico's Maquilla Plants are all Unionized. But the employer picks the Union. If the Union becomes a problem, new companies will not select that Union, and they will see their membership fall. What the union facilitates for the employers is keeping wages down. Each plant negotiates with the union and the plants watch as each one negotiates and they help one another.
