My mother said that I never should
play with the naughty rude girls in the wood
their giggling talk I could never understand
and that's why I fell in love with my right hand...
and that's why..

I'm a wanker.
I'm a wanker.
And it does me good like it bloody well should
I'm a wanker.
I'm a wanker and I'm always pulling my pud.
Here, listen..

Oh, Mrs. Palm and her five lovely daughters
thank you for having me and being oh so kind
I've got pains in my arms and my dong is growing shorter
my knees have turned to water
and I think I'm going blind.

I've wanked over italy
I've wanked over spain.
i've wanked in an omnibus
I've even had a wank in a train
I've used a badger, and a melon, and a cat
An inflatable linda lovelace and a davy crockett hat..
and that's why...

Looks like one of those palms, the one on the left, is on the outs with the other thrree. Maybe they don't like him. (Strangely, palms have genders, male and female.)

She was standing at the load-in
When the trucks rolled up
She was sniffing all around
Like a half grown female pup
She wasn’t hard to talk to
Looked like she had nowhere to go
So I gave her my pass
So she could get in and see the show

Well I sat her down right next to me
And I got her a beer
While I mixed that sound on stage
So the band could hear
The more I watched her watch them play
The less I could think of to say
And when they walked off stage
The drummer swept that girl away

But Rosie you’re all right -- you wear my ring
When you hold me tight -- Rosie that’s my thing
When you turn out the light -- I’ve got to hand it to me
Looks like it’s me and you again tonight Rosie

Well I guess I might have known from the start
She’d come for a star
Might have told my imagination not to run too far
Of all the times that I’ve been burned
By now you’d think I’d have learned
That it’s who you look like
Not who you are

But Rosie you’re all right -- you wear my ring
When you hold me tight -- Rosie that’s my thing
When you turn out the light -- I’ve got to hand it to me
Looks like it’s me and you again tonight Rosie

Somewhat different scenario, and I am less than convinced that Clenis' DOJ did the right thing there. In the present case:

In at least one recent case, Apple appears to have denied approving a software program, Podcaster, for the iPhone, that could be considered competitive with the company’s own offerings or plans.

Sorry, what's the sin here, exactly? Apple didn't have to open the iPhone for ANY third-party programming. Why are they required to open it for products that will undercut their business plans? It's a business decision. It may be a good one or a bad one, but I don't see it as a basis for "hate".

Now that is what I call leadershit (sic) in action. Whose he gonna call at 3 am? I hope McCaub takes him to the woodshed over this. He deserves it.

There was an anti-smoking ad than ran years ago, aimed at young blacks and using bitterness over slavery.

The lyrics went "First they made us pick it, now they want us to smoke it?"

And all I could think was, "You don't 'pick' tobacco, you 'work' tobacco."

She supported a plan to reduce the wolf population in Alaska by culling -- including shooting them from helicopters or planes.

(Not as sport, but as a way to normalize the overpopulation - -a government program.)

Moonbat at work didn't make it in because he had a flat tire. I wonder if he kept his tires inflated properly?

No, we're supposed to go back to the stone age. But they won't let us chip stone either, because it disturbs the environment, and no way can we kill game; farming uses valuable water resources.

I think that was one of the rumors floating out of the whole Astroturf gang. Also, in AK, bush pilots will always carry rifles and pistols in case they get stranded in part of the tract-less wilderness. If Palin were in a helicopter and saw a bunch of 'something' from the air, it would be logical to use the scope of the rifle to zoom in. I would have to have irrefutable proof that she was air hunting.

re: #250 shug

Obama's picture is on the pyrite dollar coin

And the $3 bill?

Obama released an ad that shows a wolf being shot by a person in a plane. The landscape is barren and snow-covered, and they indicate that the wolf has nowhere to hide, indicating somehow that hunting this way is unfair because the wolf doesn't have a sporting chance.

But there were no trees so it would likewise have no cover to the hunter on foot.

Then they show the shot in slow-mo, with blood splattering all over the snow, and tell us "the wolf dies in agony, biting at its back in pain." Yep, and I imagine the cows from whence came the leather in their Birkenstocks didn't die while doing the fandago either.

I'm not about to shed tears over a few wolves that died in pain. If I was magic, I'd make it painless if they're going to die anyway, but it would be waaay down my list of evils to do away with in this world.
