NO! NO! NO!

Oh what a picture. If only that was on the menue for my breakfast. I just have to go get some of those!

Where's the lime?

re: #5 IslandLibertarian

Where's the lime?

Where's the tequila?

re: #6 jcm

Where's the tequila?

Taquila and papaya?

Shit be grody.

Look, 72 raisins!

I brought you a crate of papayas,

and waited all night by your door.

Very nice photo Charles!
Uh, it's time for me to go eat some lunch!

It's been grand as usual and I hope all y'all have a GREAT DAY and that I get the chance to see you down the road.

It looks the same as, ---------- well, maybe not!

Mmmm... yummy!

In Mexico the female organ is also called "la Papaya". See why?

/ducks and runs...

Where's the tequila?

Taquila and papaya?..............

..........and hence, the Saturday morning drinking thread was born.........

I'm having coffee, fruit and a muffin.

Power to the Correct People!
(No matter what they have for breakfast.)

re: #13 Sheldon

You got it!

See ya' Real, guys I have errands to run and stuff to do, I'll catch ya'll later on tonight. Drinks are on me.....

One time I went on this diet that made you eat a lot of papaya. Stupid diet. Stupid yucky papaya.

I will provide lime for a half. My grandmother had one for breakfast every day.

Two things I have learned about the stray dog that I adopted from the Humane Society:

1. His previous owner took him to Petco enough so that he recognizes it instantly and goes insane when we pull into the parking lot.

2. His previous owner must bank at the same bank I do. Same reaction.

What I have learned from this:

1. I am never going to Petco again.

2. I am switching banks.

I just posted a comment at the end of the Expelled thread that may interest anyone who's following this -- after another series of long-winded dead thread posts.

It's very similar to what happened in the Eurofascism dispute; the pro-ID people are doing their best to get the last word, repeating arguments that have already been discussed to death because they know there's a good chance there won't be any more answers.

In the history of LGF, I've seen this tactic being used by Palestinian sympathizers and Eurofascist sympathizers -- and now by pro-ID shills. In every case, it's done with dishonest intent.

It's very telling to me that they use tactics like this.

re: #44 opnion

Not as healthy, but you never hear, "lets get a papaya & a beer."

You will have to try Teddy's Bigger Burgers, Kua Aina Burgers, or The Pineapple Room Burger (in Ala Moana Macy's) Yummier.

I declare a Fatwa! Those seeds spell Allah!
I mean you know, if you arranged em just right.

I'm partial to papaya and avacado.

And beer. And tequila. And poke.

All at the same time.

And some Time editor thinks we should invade Burma ....

It's OK to use the US military to give out food, but any other humanitarian crisis being to do with dictators or 'militants/youths' is off limits. Hmmm.

I don't know their motivation. I'm just reporting my observation. If I had to guess, for some it's an obsessive desire to get the last word - and for others, it's a deliberate tactic to have their arguments be the last thing in the thread, so that it appears to be the definitive statement.

agree (as per my #58)

I do think that it is fair to say , that throughout history, wars have been fought over papayas..
The pro & anti papaya factions are strong in their beliefs & intolerant of dissent.
However we can all come together over bananas. Yow, so good!

Won't matter. There is not a thing Obammessiah can say to refute ANY argument that McVain brings up. The Obammessiah does not work well without scripts.

re: #133 ploome hineni

I think Obama is as awful as a politician can be.

I think that the electorate often overlooks things any deeper then what they see on the surface.

When looking for land to build a cabin on way back in the 70's, my family thought about Door County but it was getting too pricey. So instead we went up into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Much the same kind of outdoor experience. A lot less money. We got 3 acres of land for about $600.

In other news, the Washington Post won't even use the term "Hezbollah" in their headline - it's "opposition".

re: #169 MandyManners

Can we get Babba to join?

We will make her Secretary of State for the BigMouthBroad Union. It's only right.

:)

Have a great day Mandy - and if I do not see you before - have a wonderful Mother's day. You have a great kid. And I know why.

re: #172 mama winger

I think the longest I've stayed on a thread was about 5 days past its expiration date.

Now there is a thought.

An expiration date, with a countdown clock too.

re: #171 jcm

You'd then be able to go after folks when they copyright infringe!

re: #168 wahabicorridor

You might want to read Ted Sorenson's latest, Counselor.

Every review I've read says that Sorenson wrote much of what Kennedy was given public credit for, including Profiles in Courage. Kennedy certainly knew it. Sorenson writes that Kennedy basically paid him off.

No argument about the warrior and scholar bit tho'.

I'll concede that point. I'll also concede that the Chicago machine counted a lot of dead peoples votes to put Kennedy over that top and made him President in 1960. Nixon knew it and was patriotic enough to let Kennedy have the Presidency and not drag us through what FatAlGore put us through in 2000. The nation has still not recovered from that.

re: #170 Occasional Reader

Yep, me, too. Frankly I don't see what the big deal is. If a thread is still open, it's fair game for comments, as far as I'm concerned. That there are no "new" arguments... well, sure, after 1000+ comments, it's unlikely there will be. On ANY side. So what? People like to talk.

What I'm talking about is a different phenomenon - in the case of the Eurofascist threads, they would come back days later and post to completely inactive threads. Something very similar is going on with the ID threads.

re: #175 Charles

When you can't convince with facts, snow 'em with BS.

Look, maybe I'm being all Mr. Tolerance here, but again: So what? People who are interested in ID want to keep posting on ID threads that are a few days old... what's the big deal?

re: #166 mama winger
Hi {mama} - that's not what I meant. I meant the folks who post thinking that there is no one left on the thread to debate their "beliefs" (they rarely post "facts").
And I really mean it when I say they are cowards.

Charles of course could be right in surmising it's just folks who want to get in the last word or whatever, but that's not the "vibe" I get. And you can search for their nic's all you want and you'll see they've never posted before or since (although I haven't checked the Expelled thread myself).

There is an expiration time already -- threads automatically close after 7 days.

re: #182 Charles

What I'm talking about is a different phenomenon - in the case of the Eurofascist threads, they would come back days later and post to completely inactive threads. Something very similar is going on with the ID threads.

As I commented to someone else on a different topic a few days ago: I think maybe you're looking too hard for the Hidden Barzini here. Sometimes a Tatagglia is just a Tatagglia.

re: #183 Occasional Reader

Look, maybe I'm being all Mr. Tolerance here, but again: So what? People who are interested in ID want to keep posting on ID threads that are a few days old... what's the big deal?

Maybe they think the thread is still evolving, or that creating a thread takes more than a few hours.
/sarc

re: #183 Occasional Reader Hey O.R. - Charles can obviously answer this for himself, but I'm not talking about folks who post comments on threads that are a day or two (or longer) past the thread date; I'm talking about folks who post when they think no one else is going to read and comment on their posts. I hope you see the difference.

Well, since I run the site and keep track of what's happening here through system logs and my own tools, I've learned (over the course of about 7 years now) to notice trends of usage.

re: #181 Truck Monkey

I'll also concede that the Chicago machine counted a lot of dead peoples votes to put Kennedy over that top and made him President in 1960.

And let us not forget West Virginia.

Nixon knew it and was patriotic enough to let Kennedy have the Presidency and not drag us through what FatAlGore put us through in 2000.

True, and good on Nixon for it. But I have one quibble - altho' the Kennedy machine certainly stole the election, the Bush machine did not.

The nation has still not recovered from that.

Just imagine what will happen to the Dem Party if they give it to Hillary. On the other hand, imagine what happens if they don't.

heh.

re: #187 Occasional Reader

Maybe we just need more evolution threads to fill the high demand.

re: #189 realwest

I'm talking about folks who post when they think no one else is going to read and comment on their posts. I hope you see the difference.

I see a potential difference (the two categories are not necessarily mutually exclusive), but again, I don't see the big deal, even in the case of what you're talking about. Hell, I've done that myself, and I didn't have some hidden agenda; I just was interested in the topic at hand, and wanted to see if someone would eventually rejoin.

re: #186 Charles

There is an expiration time already -- threads automatically close after 7 days.

At one time when Geepers and I were playing we were able to keep extra windows open with the comment area ready for after a thread closing and we found we could get in as many comments as we had available windows. You'd have to check and close this loop hole.

Hi there, lizards. Has anyone heard from that poster valentine81?

I've been following this live blogging from Lebanon for the past few days: [Link: lebop.blogspot.com...]
Still a very troubling situation.

I oppose the Mouthy Broads Union. As is the case of all unions, it will eventually degenerate to the point where it actually impedes efficient Mouthy Broadiness, and serves only to protect existing Mouthy Broads while barring access to up and coming Mouthy Broads.

re: #155 Syrah

I think the electorate can be incredibly shallow and fickle.

Obama's biggest and only strength is that he looks good and can make a scripted speech sing like a choir. It might be enough.

I'm inclined to agree with you.
In a fair debate, I can see McCain besting Obama despite being older and shorter. But who says the MSM will make it fair? Highly unlikely.
Based on actual questions once asked:
Question for Obama: Do you think that your remarkable life reflects the kind of change you want for America?
Question for McCain: Did you call your wife a c***?
Allowing for exaggeration, that's what I would expect.
And call me paranoid, but it would not surprise me if Obama were better prepared for the debates....cough, cough....the way some students are better prepared for examinations....tip offs on the questions ahead of time.

Professors have the solution for people who obtain the questions - change them. Sometimes, even just changing the order works.
Too bad the MSM wouldn't pull such a dirty trick. Especially since such things do come up in real negotiations.

_{I've seen things . . .}

I think the whole key to the '08 election is the electorate. If that sounds overly elemental, it possibly is. I just don't think we have the same body of voters that we had in 2000 and 2004. We have a younger electorate, and more immigrants who are on the Gravy Train.

re: #232 Killgore Trout

I think that's wise. I don't think there's much hope that Beirut will return to its former glory anytime soon.

If Hizballah takes over (and since a lot of the Lebanese army will go to their side), then their next step will be to attack Israel. I wonder if they have long-range missiles that they can launch from near Beirut. If so, Israel will have to attack Beirut, and of course, Israel will be condemned for any casualties, not Hizballah for putting military facilities in a civilian area.
But that is Hizballah's motus operandi.

It will be much safer to be in Sderot than near Hizballah launchers, which they'd put on top of civilian buildings if they could.

Too often politicians and pollsters forget that important fact.

Well they won't even need to launch from Beirut. Last time the war was confined to the south because Hezbollah couldn't operate outside of their area. Now that they have free reign in Beirut they can use it for support and supply for activity in the south. Beirut will be a target in the next conflict with Israel.

re: #146 Truck Monkey
Won't matter. There is not a thing Obammessiah can say to refute ANY argument that McVain brings up. The Obammessiah does not work well without scripts. He comes accross as halting and stupid when he has to answer a question that he has not been focus grouped on. He might come up with something better than "can't I just finish my waffle", but the result will be the same. The Obammessiah is no John Kennedy.

There is nothing quite like a good sandwich. French roll, pepper turkey, pepper jack cheese, peppercorn mustards, wasabi mayonaise, bacon. Popped it in the toaster oven till the cheese just started to melt. Perfect
