    What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. If what happens in your posterior stays in your posterior, you need to consult a doctor, unless you developed an interest in a certain variety of beadwork in Vegas, in which case the problem is bound to work itself out in due time. If it persists longer than three days, you still need to consult a doctor.

    You've got it all wrong. Larry has been perfectly aware of every instance of ass wiping you've ever engaged in. He has approved of your technique thus far, and so you have been safe. Should you wipe your ass in a manner which displeases Larry, several drones will be dispatched from his yacht to mitigate the situation. Unfortunately, those drones are carrying things that go boom.

    You, sir, have royally fucked up. Either you married the wrong woman, or you're a total bitch (in the "please don't hit me again" sense) yourself. There is no pussy worth that much, and if you had a set of nuts worth writing home about you'd recognize that the health of your children is worth far more than any pussy on this planet.

    I'm saying this as a very happily married man, and father to two beautiful kids. Once again, you have really fucked up.

    Since you're making bold assertions regarding Kel-Tec (note the hyphen in the manufacturer name) weapons, I must surmise that you're a dissatisfied owner of one or more of their products. Given this, please state which model Kel-Tec firearms you own, and please specify the ammunition you've utilized with said firearms, as well as the number of rounds you've fed through the weapons (broken down by ammunition source and specific weapon, naturally).

    It should be noted that I am not an employee of Kel-Tec, nor do I have any financial interest in the company. Speaking as someone with a fair amount of experience (both civilian and military) in these matters, I eagerly await your reply.

    Once people start getting fired for doing that, they won't have to worry about paying for a lot of things. Also, the number of people who will actually do what you're advocating is vanishingly small compared to the population at large. You're dealing with people who genuinely don't care.

    Inquiring minds wish to know why your pants are so thick, yet so fast. Is it a consequence of network congestion attributable to the transfer of many large files over an Internet link for which your pants serve as a single hop, or rather are your pants so thick that they, by necessity derived from the sheer geographic coverage (estimated as a multiple of the extrapolation of standard dimensions associated with the mean thickness of pants allocated to citizens in G20 nations) required for their mere existence and the improbability that C can be exceeded, are responsible for multiple hops, perhaps even providing service via each pant leg for multiple routes? Also, are your pants very baggy?

    Again, inquiring minds are demanding answers. Pants followers everywhere eagerly await your reply, in the fervent hope that the insights you provide may take them 'round the universe.

  24. Re:Just remember. on Oracle and Google Settlement Talks Falter; Trial Set for April 16 · · Score: 1

    Why do you insist on attempting to turn this story into something that feeds an anti-Microsoft agenda? The title of this story is "Oracle and Google Settlement Talks Falter; Trial Set for April 16." The word "Microsoft" doesn't appear in that, nor does it appear in the summary.

    It seems you have an axe to grind, and are taking any road you think leads to the outcome you want. Listen, I was born in 1981. I was raised on a mix of CP/M, MS-DOS, HP-UX, SysV, and Win 3.1x systems. In my early teens, I got into BSD and Linux systems, and aside from some time in the trenches dealing with Windows Server editions, I largely haven't looked back. I'm firmly a Unix-centric guy these days, and I've certainly got no love for the world of Microsoft "solutions."

    That said, I'm not going to sit around and idly bash Microsoft's stuff at every turn, and certainly not when the situation discusses two entirely different companies. Again, what's your agenda? Why do you persist in attempting to defend your ridiculous practice of MS-bashing at every possible turn? It's juvenile, and highly annoying. I wouldn't have bothered posting this if I thought you were simply a troll, because I don't think you are. I think you've got an honest problem that needs to be addressed. Frankly, I'm too busy building nice things that run on Linux and BSD to really care about Microsoft these days, so I truly wonder that the heck your problem is.

    Your post makes nearly no sense, and I'm convinced it got modded up simply because you tossed in a reference to Microsoft. Also, where did I mention Microsoft to begin with?
