    Not the boldest of statements given you'll never have a chance to put your money where your mouth is... If you truly feel that way, then I have but one thing to say to you: "Here's the chair, here's the rope." A one-way trip to the afterlife is about as close as you'll come to a one-way trip to Mars.

    Actually, the real problem is finding an iron small enough to brand the little suckers without burning them to a crisp. That and getting your hands on a Gnome in the first place.

    Not necessarily. He could be named for his grandfather and also be a II or III while his father is something else entirely.

  7. Re:Gore and the Internet on United States Cedes Control of the Internet · · Score: 0

    Sorry; didn't mean to strike a sore spot... I realize that Al Gore did not intend to claim he invented the internet. A lot of people, including myself, like to make fun of the fact that his statement made some people believe he did make this claim. So the headline of this article, US Cedes Control of the Internet lead me to make the "joke" that we needed to alert Al Gore that his "invention" was being surrendered. It obviously wasn't that funny... Again, my apologies.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the noon showing of "An Inconvenient Truth."

    I disagree. hicks dwell in rural areas, and while the mountains certainly qualify as rural, much of the south is about as rural as it gets.

    Now, I suppose I have shot myself in the foot with this argument, as there are plenty of rural areas inthe north as well. However, the case can be made that you could also find rednecks in the north.

    And sometimes it helps to look dumb.

    My brother drove into a lake after passing three "Road Closed" signs. The officer who came to investigate asked my bro to join him in his patrol car, where he proceeded to flip through a thick book of traffic law/traffic violations.

    After about a half-hour the trooper said, "Well, I'm not going to give you a ticket 'cause there just isn't a law for being stupid."

    Ouch.
