QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Dec 28, 2008 -> 11:17 PM) Any good places to order beef jerky on the internet? I just searched, the best jerky in the world is from the Hilge Smokehouse in Hilge, Texas. About an hour south of Houston. I thought for certain they would have a web site, but no. I couldn't even find a phone number. I bought a pound of the peppered venison and a pound of the peppered beef on my way up to Chicago last month. Great stuff.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 5, 2009 -> 02:14 PM) At what age are guys supposed to stop laughing at dick and fart jokes? I vote never. Of course we never do. We just hide it from the women until it is too late.

Imagine if Hillary won How Will Hillary Decorate Her Balls?

I was joking around with my gf when she mentioned heading to Hancock Fabric me: "Hee Hee, you said cock" her: rolls eyes, "haven't you outgrown that" me: "NO. We learn to hide it, but we're still amused" her: "hee hee, you said butt!"

It seems that my favorite has changed based on who I was with at the time. What a wonderful thing to have happen.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 5, 2009 -> 11:28 AM) Well clearly this doesn't state that Iraq is safer than Chicago. The iraq number doesn't include the large majority of people killed in violence - only US soldiers. I assume the point that SS was trying to make, was just to point how how far down the violence has gone in Iraq, which is a very good thing. Wouldn't the better comparison be 2007 to 2008 Iraq numbers? Which truly shows the decline.

QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ Dec 28, 2008 -> 09:26 AM) From what I have heard though, this is supposedly Pitt's finest performance, so I guess I can understand the shooting. It certainly tested his range and probably his finest performance. You forgot it was "him". Which is the mark for me of a great performance.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Jan 5, 2009 -> 11:03 AM) does anyone here know alot about the Act and the Law? My question, as a business owner, do I have the ability to contact say a School District in Florida and request information pertaining to a particular contract they entered into with a competitor of mine, or do I need to actually live in the boundaries of this School District? The FoI Act is federal, this sounds like a local matter. Usually they have to disclose terms of any contracts they enter into. Have you asked the District directly? What did they tell you? The deliberations can occur in closed door meetings, but bids are usually unsealed in a public meeting and the results announced.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 5, 2009 -> 09:28 AM) It's no more a chick-flick than Forrest Gump. What was wrong with the first thirty minutes? Perhaps it was just us, but we had this feeling of watching Forrest Gump in reverse and perhaps dreaded a couple more hours of this. There really wasn't anything wrong with the first thirty from the movie side. I did think the pace from "birth" until perhaps his mid 50s was slow to develop. We both found ourselves thinking ahead and wondering how they would handle 18- death. It seemed to work for us.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 5, 2009 -> 10:53 AM) LOL That is the one thing I have been worried about. But remember it's Gage, he is in the Urban Dictionary for his ineptness regarding this stuff.

While it is an interesting comparison, we should be careful what kinds of conclusions are drawn from it. I think it would be wrong to state that Iraq is safer than Chicago. It may be interesting to ponder if Chicago would be better if there was armed military patrolling the roads.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Jan 3, 2009 -> 11:31 PM) FALSE! I had a miserable time at summer camp, couldn't even sleep my whole time there. The person below me has an uncircumcized penis. False. Bummer about your summer camp. The person below me is surprised this thread is still going.

Did you do any of your on line shopping at work? I'd be thinking of any changes in your routine. Does the shirt fit? There is a 25% chance they got it right at random, but that could be an interesting clue if the person knows you or not. But Occam's Razor would tell us it was someone with easy access, family member or a clerk who you gave your card to, before some on-line intercepted purchase.

Here is a thread on another board that may help Gage in his real problem. http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f13/how-make...-bigger-307723/

Couple thoughts, We should have been suspicious of any thread that involves Gage having a girlfriend. But I guess imaginary girlfriends can have demands as well. Isn't shipps a great friend for coming up with a cover story for gage? Kind of jumping on the granade. I wouldn't do it. After I had it done, I couldn't walk for almost a year. Of course I had no say in the matter, I was only a couple days old.

If anyone decided to see . . . Benjamin Button, resists the urge to walk out after the first 30 minutes. The final two hours was breathtaking . Seriously, I like chick flicks, with a chick, and this one did not disappoint. They "solved" some of the reality to movie issues in a rather pleasing way. From the DVD folder, watched Dead Poets society and have proclaimed Robin Williams as the most underrated actor of our generation.

I'll defend the Constitution. I would rather err by allowing all of this, than picking and choosing. However, if NSS is suggesting it is a really bad idea, and probably not best for the RNC, I'll agree. If the suggestion is it should somehow not be allowed, then I will disagree.

The difference between alcohol, caffeine, and marijuana as a starter drug is where you buy it. If your starter drug is caffeine, you may move onto Bety Crocker cake mixes at your local mega-mart, or worse, $5.00 triple soy lattes at Star$s. If alcohol is your starter drug, that same "dealer" may sell you cigars, porn, or more alcohol. If marijuana is your starter drug, it opens up more and harsher illegal drugs. All the more reason to legalize it and sell it in liquor stores. The fighting a war and drinking age is a classic misdirection. I've seen kids as young as 12 be remarkable great shots, able to navigate well with map and compass, and totally school adults on a paintball field. Will that also predict how well they could handle alcohol in a few years? I doubt it. Skills inone area do not translate into the other. There are just too many unnecessary dangers in younger people drinking. And getting back to my social good argument earlier, many of those dangers are of concern to other people around the teen drinker. Drunk driving and other behavior that hurts innocents. In a nutshell, we've discovered that 18 year olds, with clear minds, are capable soldiers. We've also discovered 18 year olds, given the right and responsibility of alcohol were too often not capable drinkers.
