Saturday Morning Open

Open | Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 11:36:32 am PST

Jeff: You fiend!

Eros: I? A fiend? I am a soldier of our planet! I? A fiend? We did not come here as enemies. We came only with friendly intentions. To talk. To ask your aid.

Col. Edwards: Our aid?

Eros: Yes. Your aid for the whole universe. But your governments of Earth refused even to accept our existence. Even though you’ve seen us, heard our messages, you still refused to accept us.

Col. Edwards: Why is it so important that you want to contact the governments of our Earth?

Eros: Because of death. Because all you of Earth are idiots!

Jeff: Now you just hold on, Buster.

It's 0244 here in the black, quiet suburbs of Bangkok... the Pukes Against Democracy finally abandoned their stink-in at Government House after stealing as much as they could, and Thaksin spoke with the Democratic Red-Shirts (relatively Good Guys) today so THEY disbanded, hence its waaaaay past my bedtime, and I wish y'all Good Knight!

Pancakes

Brenda and Steve took their six-year-old son to the doctor.
With some hesitation, they explained that although their
little angel appeared to be in good health, they were
concerned about his rather small penis.

After examining the child, the doctor confidently
declared, 'Just feed him pancakes. That should solve the problem.'

The next morning when the boy arrived at breakfast,
there was a large stack of warm pancakes in the middle of the table. 'Gee, Mom,' he exclaimed. 'For me?'

'Just take two,' Brenda replied . 'The rest are for your father'.

Here is a link to a tragic story from Yemen:
[Link: www.sabanews.net...]
A Jewish man, father of eight, was murdered by a Muslim who "for the sake of Allah." This same man murdered his wife two years before but was let go by the court after he paid the woman's family compensation. Yemen law is based on Islamic law.

And now for something completely different:

It is Biblical times and a crowd is gathered to stone a man to death.
Suddenly, Jesus parts the crowd saying 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone'.
Everyone in the crowd puts down their stones and stares at their sandals.
Suddenly the crowd parts as a little old woman, carrying a huge boulder, struggles through the crowd.
She carries the boulder over to the sinner, drops it on him and crushes the life out of him.
Jesus looks at her and says...'You know Ma, sometimes you really piss me off'

-I hope the Lord has a sense of humor cause if not, I'm going to a bad place......

I didn't get around to picking up any thickener of any sort yet, but I did try cooking the soup down a bit more, and adding a bit more vegetables.

That was better. I just like chunky, mushy soup.

That's the ticket. I recommended the technique one uses when making vichyssoise - push veggies (potatoes/leeks) thru a strainer - or - more simply, mash a small plain potatoe into soup when almost cooked. But you take the cake for the most simple method!

A Few Modern lines from Anything Goes (Sorry Cole Porter)
(some from the last open thread):

When Christmas trees are out of season
replaced by, for PC reasons, Festivus poles...
Anything Goes!

Old authors too, who once wrote pretty things
now write their crap to fling at some passing proles...
Anything Goes!

The world has gone mad today
and good's bad today
and wrong's (W)right today
what a sight today!
And those gents today
you gave some cents today
were once bank CEOs!

So now the One, by racial virtue
can sign all his bills to hurt you; I guess that shows...

Faith Healing Parents Assert Religious Rights


A Clackamas County, Ore., couple accused of letting their infant daughter die by relying on prayer, rather than medicine, today asked that the charges be dropped, arguing that they infringe on their freedom of religion and their right to raise their children in their own way.

Carl Worthington, 28, and his wife, Raylene, 25, belong to a church that believes in faith healing, and police said that, instead of going to a doctor when their 15-month-old daughter Ava got sick, they turned to prayer.

The infant girl died March 2 from bacterial bronchial pneumonia and an infection, both of which could have been cured with common antibiotics, the medical examiner said.

Rahm was one hottie in ballet tights, and I speak from personal experience!

Rahm Emanuel used his Clinton "executive" pomp to pre-empt other dancers from their reserved rehearsal space at DuPont Circle or Friendship Heights' Dance Place studio in Washington DC during his glory days, so he could do some barr work!

What percentage of the Plan 9 from Outer Space screenplay have you used up, Charles?

What's the next film after that one's exhausted? (Robot Monster is a good candidate. Or Glen and Glenda, if you're on an Ed Wood kick as opposed to a crappy sci-fi kick.)

You ain't seen nothing yet. The whole 80 or so minutes of it is a comedic gem. He can go months with this stuff.

For decades, my wife and daughter have made cookies and brownies for Christmas presents. They're good cookies and folks that know them start dropping hints along about Halloween, "Y'all are gonna make cookies again this year, ain't ya?" One of my favorite memories is my nephew opening his gift and finding a store-bought present and asking with horror in his voice, "This don't mean I don't get cookies, does it?"

But my darling has a hitch in her gitalong so I figured that this year there wasn't going to be a cookie-baking.

'Til late yesterday evening when the daughter pulls up and says gimme a hand, Dad, I need help getting everything out of the car. And I go out and her little Vibe is loaded as full as it'll go with flour and sugar and butter and pecans and walnuts and Hersey's kisses and M&Ms and marshmallows and shortening and all the other things that go with making dozens and dozens of dozens of cookies.

Daughter woke her mom up about six this morning and set her in the kitchen with a bowl and ingredients and started heating up the ovens and right now the house smells just amazing. They're singing along to Christmas songs and laughing about everything and the kitchen is an absolute mess. I think that there's going to be Christmas this year, too.

'Cause of my daughter. I'm always proud of her, but right now I'm just about proud enough to bust.

So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.

They need jail time. The movie The Exorcism of Audrey Rose was based on an actual incident. The young woman was epileptic & needed her meds.
Her religious fanatic parents saw her as pocessed & called in a Catholic priest exorcist. He took he off of her meds to make her more receptive.
The girld died, the priest was prosecuted & convicted. I thought that the parents should have been tried as well.

re: #171 davinvalkri

I kinda feel the same way, but my faith has wavered in the last decade or so. Apart from the practical aspect (Lib programs are designed to last forever, and usually do), there's the dumbing down/entitled class aspect. A nation populated by people who have no respect for the ideals of their Nation (because of public schools, TV, etc.), is not likely to hold onto those ideals for long. As tens of millions of people (I wish I was exaggerating the number) depend on Government handouts, they are less likely to question the Government.

Leftism always fails, the question is whether or not it drags the rest of the Country down with it.

The larger the entitled class, the more Democrat voters.

Not all Dems are lazy. But they think that the gummint should take care of the poor. And the lazy poor agree. In that respect, they all encourage this generational nightmare for the sake of votes. Makes me sick to my stomach because none of them seem to understand that it is in the Dem leadership interest to keep people in their victim group web so that there is no escape.

Obama promises to go to a nation in the heart of Islam, to repair the damage. My guess is he will say something about violence not being the answer & then launch into an apology for all of America's faults.
Do the Jihadis say, "Well that sounds reasonable. We should stop all hostile activities", or do they view it as weakness & Obama as an individual sympathetic to them leading the kafirs?

Not from a Pr0n site...

Just Craigslist.

SWF who isn't asking too much

I am a single, free-spirted, web-savvy thirtysomething female. Living in the gorgeous Caroll Gardens for the past year, I love life and am only looking for a man who is not an idiotic pig-headed beer-swilling moron (which seems to be hard to find in this city). This is my final plea to the Craigslist community. I own my own internet business which means I don't get to leave the house much, but I do know the internet and its dating potential. So far it has let me down every single time.

Here is what I am looking for. It's not much. If you're this guy or know this guy, have him contact me right away.

-non smoker

-must love cats and be open to the idea of future adoptions

-must not be more than one to five stops away from Carroll Gardens F train in either direction

-must not be opposed to wicker furniture

-must be 420 friendly

-must clean up hair from the tub after a trim, a ring of hair around the edge is GROSS

-past bar tending/table-serving experience a plus but not necessary

-some knowledge of vintage wine

-must be fluent in 2 languages (English DOES NOT count); I still like to practice my French from study abroad

-toilet paper must go over, NEVER under, when placed in dispenser

-PUT the lid DOWN. Animals have better manners than most men

-no stockbrokers, unemployed musicians, actors, or baristas

-no ravers, goths, punks, or rude boys

-musical taste must include, but not be limited to, Kingston Trip, Buffy Sainte-Marie, and Judy Collins

-name must not begin with an R, a J, or a B (Js are negotiable; Rs are not. Bs should consider that if they treat a cat nicely, it will respond accordingly; but if you scare it by approaching too fast, of course it will attack)

-must like scented candles (not vanilla); no incense

-must be willing to pay for dinner at least once a week at a Zagat-rated restaurant after proper research and scouting of restaurant

-must own more than 3 items from ?The North Face? jacket line but no more than 5

-owning a car is a plus, but it can't be a hatchback (some standards)

-I ski one weekend a year, so you ski. No shredders.

-must love Gary Larson, and hate Dilbert

-passionate about animal rights, but willing to take in the circus when it comes to town

-must read at least 3 books a month, no comics unless Gary Larson

-must have read complete works of Jane Austen

-must know how to turn a Word document into a PDF

-must be on T-Mobile for Fave 5 access

-must love pinball and not play ping pong

-3 out of your 5 favorite movies should be John Hughes films

-must agree to watch "The Hills" on MTV on Sundays but hate that bitch Heidi, she is everything wrong with womankind

-must know CPR and have current certification, ++ for SCUBA certification

-must be home from 2-6pm on Saturdays to receive packages; bonus points if you're an Ebay power seller too!

-NO FELONS!

-must have all limbs, no quads (not biased, just poor past experience)

-Ivy League education desirable, but Amherst, UPenn, Colgate, Vassar, Georgetown etc. acceptable

-must have Scrabulous installed on Facebook during work hours

-must prefer dark chocolate over milk; no omnivores

-must like North-Eastern microbrews, NO COLORADO, NO EXCEPTIONS

-no corduroy pants, jackets, shirts, socks, caps, etc. And while we're on the subject of hats, no hats at all. Having a hat as part of your job costume is not an excuse.


I know the guy for me is out there. I've come so close to finding him in perfect form so many times. If you are this know or know this guy, PLEASE contact me. I am willing to make a few sacrifices, but not many. If you see yourself in even a FEW of my specifications, you are invited to apply. Think of it more like a guidebook to my heart.

Please reply with a little bit about yourself, include pics.

The Aliens and the gas pump

Two Aliens land in Detroit, next to a Gas station. The Aliens waddle
out of their ship and look around. The first thing they see that
resembles a being is the Gas pump. The two Aliens approach. The
first one says "Earthling take me to your leader!"

He gets no response. The first Alien looks at his buddy then addresses
the pump again. "Earthling, I said Take me to your leader!"

Still no response. The first Alien then turns to the second and says
"If this Earthling doesn't show me some respect I'm going to blast
him!" . The second Alien replies "O.K. but, I'm just going to stand
down on the next block." The first Alien looks a little puzzled, but
waits for the other to waddle to the next block. He then addresses
the pump a third time. "Earthling take me to your leader!"

No response. The Alien then pulls out his ray-gun and shoots the pump.
After the explosion the Alien gets up dusts himself off then goes down
the block to his buddy, He then says to the second Alien "If you knew
that was going to happen why didn't you warn me?"

The second replies " I didn't know what was going to happen, but I'm
not going to mess with anyone who's penis can hang to the ground, wrap
around his body twice, and still stick it in his ear!"

I like this one from craigslist - I have a huge bathroom:

I am a female in my mid 60's and I am looking for a room mate. Times are tight and I need some extra money.

I am willing to rent out my bathroom in my 1 bedroom east village home.

My bathroom is large. You can easily put a twin air mattress in there. I only ask that when I need to use the bathroom, you or your air mattress are not in it.

I do ask that when you are in the apartment, you confine yourself to the bathroom. I do not feel comfortable with a stranger walking around my living room. This might change as I get to know you better.

You may have guest over as long as they are cnfined to the bathroom as well. This might seem a bit odd but please remember the rent is $400 and the bathroom is large.

You think she must be joking but then I remember a few days ago I couldn't help overhearing a work colleague was describing to her real estate agent on the phone the house she and her husband were looking for: must have northeast aspect, not be on a slope, have two garages.... the list then went on way past the "forget it" stage, like that single woman. They know what they want!

We had a list for our house. A ranked listed, from must have to nice to have to wish to have. Actually got most of it but not all.

What do you have in that pond?

ROFLMAO! Nothing at the moment, since I got rid of the goldfish (those things multiply worse'n coat hangers!) I've had problems with algae ever since I put it in, so I want to clear that up before I start getting koi to put in. The only thing I can think I've been doing wrong is using a too-small filter, so I want to get the biggest I can afford!

The pond is somewhere in the 900-1200 gallon range (too irregularly shaped to be sure), and I've been using filters for that size. But it gets full sun most of the day, and even if I use those filters, even with UV and algae killer, it builds up so much I have to hand-clean it twice a year, and I'm getting too old for that nonsense!

Apropos of Charles' quote....

In the Stainless Steel Rat series by Harry Harrison, Slippery Jim diGriz is an atheist.

Harrison wrote, in as many words, that an ethical atheist doesn't kill. Atheists believe that there's no afterlife, so what we have now is all we will ever get.

Therefore, an ethical atheist will never rob someone of their only chance to exist.

For another somewhat provocative quote, I'm not sure if it was Donald Hamilton or Wilbur Smith who wrote that a terrorist is someone who has resigned from the human race.

Personally, I think terrorists should be hung, drawn and quartered, but that's just my opinion.

Because they have no imagination in Hollywood any more. All they can do is f**k up the classics.

The remake of "The Day The Earth Stood Still" is getting some of the most negative reviews I've ever seen. Michael Rennie's Klaatu wanted to prevent nuclear war. Keanu Reeves' Klaatu wants to end global warming.

At least they did keep "Klaatu Barada Niikto."
