The world is a cruel place, I tell you. Cruel ! And the editors at/. have got to have their fun. They have a right to their little jokes - we just must live with it.
Then Harry whines that Pete is charging Harry to move through Pete's lands to get to Harry's house
and had to stop because
I didn't know if Harry's house was built by Jack e.g. were we involved in the story about "the house that Jack built" here?
I didn't know if there was any bridge real estate involved in the deal - though it seems more than possible.
I kept hearing the music of a certain song... can't remember the name but I'm sure that it's appropriate.
I am wonder-struck by the fact that the/. lameness filter didn't pick this one up. After all it is a very lame (but very, very long and very, very boring) defense of a company which is quite simply in contempt of court and, if its actions are any indication, is seeking to prove that it's above the law. Ah yes, some of the words of the song come back to me now "if my aunt had testicles, she'd be my uncle...tum tee tum". Is the parent post a specimen of what is called astro-turfing ? Or is it just a rather pathetic attempt to get some brownie points from Uncle Bill - the lame Indian's friend ?
I noticed this bit - and thought that you were probably correct:
electric/hybrid cars are NOT the answer.
I was a little disappointed with the rest of the post, since THE answer did not appear. Then I found out why, for I noticed
a cost comparasin
which was more or less immediately followed by
as a emissions comparasin.
Since you fellows are into it with God, you are waiting for Him to provide THE answer. Your post became clear to me in a heartbeat.
Want my opinion ? You can have it 'cause it's free. It's in the form of a Bible knowledge test. Who was it that said, "Go forth and sin no more" ? In your case though, I fear that the "forth" would have to be changed to a higher number - eighth, perhaps (double the fun). You might try going back to school. Or adopt a "no posting while drunk" rule. In the interval, you might want to do something about pollution by refraining from posting as you have in the middle of a serious discussion about a serious problem - begin solving the pollution problem by cleaning up your own act
Please notice that you have no caused to be offended by the above - these are just my suggestions
One man's old news is quite new to his neighbour. I appreciated the article for what it was to me - NEWS. I must be slow - you guys are always posturing and being bored and ahead of me. I feel depressed suddenly ! I've got to work and I'm sure to miss up-to-the-minute NEWS again. But I'll read it here tomorrow and find out how many people read it while I was at work - a bonus !"
I have the feeling that there is something basically wrong with your reasoning. I'm going to test your idea. I can't do it immediately, since I seem to have mislaid my identical clone. When I find him, I'm going to have a problem finding 2 absolutely identical cars too. But I'll test your idea - I really will !
Maybe we can't do anything about what they are going to do to us - but we can always try. And we should try now, before it's too late. From our position at this moment, time-travelling to 1984 might be described as one small step for man... But of course that one is taken already - might have a copyright problem.
In a free country, one may think as one may wish - even if there should be more than one of us thinking. I too can use an impersonal pronoun in my native language - but, as a "man" I might want to run for it "on" seeing it coming. Then again, I might not !
It seems a bit like posting anonymously, one thinks (and I think so too !)
Don't know if it's true but I hear that Chernobyl now has a small (but growing) population of elderly South Koreans. I seems that they are attracted by the various kinds of wild animals which they can talk to. One such elderly South Korean suggested that I ask his pet wolf for directions to the nearest McDonalds'. I asked. The directions were correct in English, French, Mandarin, and Russian. Who says evolution is impaired by a little radiation ? Bring on the "Radiation Generation" I say !
Grandmother taught me - and gave me the definition

Golf's Digital Divide

· Score: 1
My grandmother taught me golf - and she was Scottish (as indeed am I). She also taught me two basic truths about it:-
"Golf is a game for kings and blacksmiths"(example included)
"The game is not lost 'til it's won" (grim example included concerning Englishmen)
Now you folks can think what you like - but I got it from an unimpeachable source. Can you say the same ?
And maybe it was a <em><tt>hard</tt></em> for them and the <em><tt>wear</em></tt> and tear on their nerves.... was the cause of the choice of <em><tt>"hardware".</tt></em>
If they were going to include the story, they had to put it somewhere ! Where would you put it - under "games" ?
Slashdot Mirror
This coming Monday would be my guess. Any betting going on ?

Incapable ?
Liked your post - still laughing.
Nope !
I got as far as this bit,

Well said
No Sir, you're not. I also thought that the word cell referred to a prison cell.

More or less took it at face value. Your post raises two questions.
How about sharing the answers - I'm curious

Cheer up ! You are not alone ! Yours is a very common problem - I am a victim of it myself !
You must be new here

Brilliant post - really enjoyed it. Thanks.
Or not yet !

And your sex life ? You left out the most interesting part !
Thanks ! I was wondering why I was not surprised. Now I know ! Thanks again !

Sorry about that, folks. Forgot to use the preview button !
