My friends and I have analyzed this supply and demand feature of women before. The conclusion we've arrived at is that although each of us prefers a skinny woman, we would all still have one if they only came in one size.
No, it's just that finding that unicorn, the mate you'd really like to be with who also wants to be with you, is as statistically improbable as having sex with a dancer who's really working her way through college on the couch in front of your mother. Throw in an additional variable like employed in a technical field, and, well, you would have better odds winning the Powerball and having sex with a Grizzly on the same day.
Ah, but settle is what we often do. Partnerships for procreation are based on the most fundamental of motivations. Perhaps only a hundred years ago at the ranch in West Texas, my prospects for a baby-mama were limited to the range, "A day's ride." Technology, even the taken-for-granted internal combustion engine, has amounted to a genetic diversity impossible in the recent past. For a tired old working fellow who owns his home and figures his children will leave him eventually, it seems like this faddish interwebs thing might be just the ticket.
Right, but considering the recent corporate buyout at Slashdot and the degrading subject matter we are forced to bless with our craftiness, can this website AFFORD to lose many of us right now to girlfriends with Sex & the City boxed sets?
I cannot fathom the logic that this mountain of debt can be circumvented by the government necromancy of minting, rendering a $trillion kick-the-can-down-the-road coin of the realm, in a precious metal not expressly forbidden by Constitution or law. Does this make any sort of sense at all? Whose Law is it, anyway, when it's difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish between parodies of the politicians and their proponents? They both seem equally insane.
It's still an all volunteer military and plenty of our local men & women have been wounded or killed in pursuit of a cause many miles from home. There would be no shortage of soldiers to fill a volunteer militia if it were our homes and families under siege.
Agreed, panda's in the wild are foct, but if the research proves out, the antibodies can only be manufactured by a Panda, and it actually saves a few people, they'll be ag subsidies for my Panda Farm until the World looks level.
Plus there's this: Panda walks into a bar, sits down, and orders a sandwich. He eats the sandwich, pulls out a gun, and shoots the waiter dead. He stands up to go and the bartender yells, "What the hell? You shot my waiter and now you're leaving without paying for that sandwich." The panda yells back over his shoulder, "I'm a Panda. Look it up." Sure enough, the bartender's Merriam-Webster said, "A tree-dwelling marsupial of Asian origin, characterized by distinctive black and white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves."
Ah yes, brand recognition....for there is little point in paying a large premium to own what is perceived as the "Cadillac"-version unless others covet it. Our urban youth still kill each other over high end basketball shoes. (Google jordan^shoes^robbery) There are folks who steal. Basically anything of value that one can carry around shall be targeted. But in addition to brand recognition, factor in that popular items are as ubiquitous as deer in the King's Forest.
I decline to acquiesce to your request. My Schwager received one of these extortion notices, and now, thanks to this timely submission by the prolific Herr Anonymous, I'll have a conversation starter for the family New Year celebration that should get me through until the whiskey kicks in.
The very way campaign contributions work in America, and undoubtedly elsewhere, allows corporations to get these petitions for favorable tax treatment written into law. Unlimited donations via the Super Pac loophole has essentially taken the teeth out of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1974.
Government has become the tool of lobbying and corporations, and we sit idly by while the system continues to allow these powerful entities to write regulations that suppress competition.

This thieving criminal element for which you seemingly credit much patience, literacy, and technical skill are actually opportunistic and predominately drug-addicted in this day and age. My home's modest appearance and dog moat are probably all the deterrent necessary to avoid the "easy mark" distinction most of these mouth breathers are hunting for. And BTW, armed means many things, other than firearms, my good man.

Perfect.

That only works if you're an American .....in the former case, your English loses something in the translation.

Watch this touchdown drive.

Who would buy the ubuntu phone? How many units?
We can be certain of one thing: The proliferation of this idea increases the probability of it's implementation an order of magnitude.
Never too soon. Just wasn't too funny.
That title about covers it.....do not covet /.ers

Nicely done. Already posted cleverly so I come with props and not points.

Or? Set the bar a bit higher Buster.....And
Right. I understand they retained the lobbying firm Pyrrhic & Associates for that boondoggle.
