    Alright, folks; now listen up:

    Go easy on this guy: the cattle industry hasn't [yet] budgeted a whole lot for shills and anyway all the experienced ones are currently under contract to Yellow Cab.

  3. I'm sure we'll eventually find out.

  4. That's 'cause people expect shit to leave tracks. ;)

  5. In the past you have to have a computer many times more powerful then the console to run the exact same games.

    At far higher resolutions and frame-rates. You're confused.

  6. And... they break such laws regularly, with impunity, so it's a moot point.

    I'll tell you who the traitor is: it's the dumbfuck who makes the rest of us look stupid by using a comma instead of a semicolon and not knowing that "American" is capitalized.

    I'm hardly "pro Audi." Volkswagen (including Audi, Porsche, Seat, Lambo, etc) can go fuck themselves. They deliberately design Audis so that once they're out of warranty, they're virtually impossible to maintain and certainly not economically. The last Audi I'd be willing to own would be an early 2000's A6/S6/All road and only because I can do everything myself. BTW, the thing that single-handedly makes Audis the best cars to drive is their use of Torsen center differentials; VW's and "fake Quattros" like the A3 and TT use Haldex differentials (pfft) while other manufacturers use equally ineffective systems: if you've ever compared a 4Matic Benz (Borg Warner center diff) to an Audi in terms of how well they do in the snow, the results speak for themselves.Regarding Toyota, you simply do not know what the fuck you're talking about; I've *lost count* of the number of experienced American and German car mechanics who drive Corollas.

    I'd rather reap the benefits of lower priced electricity.

    I've owned *one* Japanese car, lots of American cars and a *ton* of German cars. I currently drive the latest Suburban... and while I do indeed love it, I should point out that it's common fucking knowledge that Toyota makes the most reliable cars - i.e. the best cars one can own... while Audi makes the best cars you can drive... but damn are they problematic pieces of shit.

    The 'everyone else was doing it' excuse is only for 5 year olds.

    So is the notion that the gov't should enforce "monopolies on ideas."

    What are they teaching school kids in Oklahoma these days?

    1. In Oklahoma, most people are literally so ignorant that they believe the word "ignorant" actually means "belligerent"

    2. Most Oklahomans ("Okies") think cinder blocks are called center blocks (of course, if they could read the label at Lowe's or Home Depot, this might not be a problem)

    3. When someone would say "heighth," I'd be tempted to ask "You mean like "weighth?"

    4. Had to enroll one of the gf's kids in a new elementary school during the middle of the year; imagine our surprise when the teacher sent home a flyer on Feb 13st... announcing Valentime's Day- "What time is it?" "Valentime's."

  25. There is no safe harbor when it comes to kids and sex.

    History tells us there's no safe harbor when it comes to anything. Think of this like the Inquisition: a large, shady organization revealing its true colors while the rest of us attempt to derive what comfort we can by telling ourselves that "events" are bewildering and inexplicable... when, in fact, they're anything but.
