I don't have a problem talking to women. My problem is that I can never pick up the signals when they're into me. The Behemoth needs to be hit over the head with a brick.

Here's a lyric...

Says here an astronaut
Put on a pair of diapers
Drove eighteen hours
To kill her boyfriend
And in my hotel room, I'm wondering
If you read that story too?
And if we both might
Be having the same imaginary conversation

2. Honesty....You can't fool a woman's heart..She knows when you are a liar
3. Kindness.. ( It all comes back to you many times over)
4. Strength..(You will make her stronger in her weakness.. You damn well cherish every tear on your cheek)
5. A relationship is not a 50/50 thing.. Give a 100% or don't bother

Nurture Love...Without it..It will die like everything else

Why, hello there. I couldn't help but notice that your appearance is one that would fairly universally be considered pleasant and, as they say, "attractive". I put before you the option of coming with me and exploring, through mutual betterment of our understanding of one another, the possibility of a continuing relationship, with the possibility of copulation.

Also, coming up Saturday (Italy time) is an internet streamed exoplanet transit!

It is unlikely we will ever be able to visit an exoplanet - they are just too far away. Perhaps if we bio-engineered a new species based on us but living 100x longer - then they might make it. Still, pretty interesting stuff.

Lilburn Police are investigating what may have caused a man to walk into a Walmart and destroy 29 flat-screen televisions.

Gwinnett County Jail Westley Strellis, 23, of Lawrenceville, is accused of smashing more than 24 TVs at the Walmart on Lawrenceville Highway in Lilburn. The TVs are reported to be valued at more than $22,000, police said

Just after noon Wednesday, Westley Strellis, 23, of Lawrenceville, walked into the Walmart on Lawrenceville Highway in Lilburn.

After grabbing a metal baseball bat from the sporting goods section, he walked to the electronics department and destroyed the TVs on display.

He was arrested not long after.

you need to stop with that...

This land is my land
It could be our land
If you get free from
Your radical Islam
So you must choose now
Or you will lose now
And this land won’t really be for you.

We came to this land
To gain our freedom
We raised our children
And worked to feed 'em
You don't respect us
So don't infect us
This land is really not for you.

We let your mom in
And now you're bombin'
Your daddy's from there
He lives on welfare
You hate our peoples
And our church steeples
This land is really not for you.

You want to rule us
Don't try to fool us
You're taught to hurt us
And to convert us
So rise above it
Or you can shove it
This land won't take that crap from you.

You've obviously never met my old buddy's Siamese cat. You just look at him wrong, and he will fuck you up eight ways 'till sunday. You'll come away looking like you were in a hurricane of razor blades.

How I Met My Wife...

I was 18 years old.

I met my wife in a restaurant called Pizza Den. She was sitting in a booth with her sister (who I knew casually) saw her and thought she was adorable.

Sat down across from them at the booth they were at and said "Hi!" to D (now my sister-in-law) but never even looked at her. Staring directly at her sister (now my wife) I said, "Holy cow, D! Who's that!?"

D said "This is my sister L."

I said, "Great. Don't you have someone else you can go talk to right now?"

The rest is history.

That is precisely how it happened. My wife has denied the story for years. Recently, the SIL backed me up.

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all.

Take that Mullahs!

re: #180 Slumbering Behemoth

You've obviously never met my old buddy's Siamese cat. You just look at him wrong, and he will fuck you up eight ways 'till sunday. You'll come away looking like you were in a hurricane of razor blades.

Yeah, taking a woman to the ER to get stitches is not my idea of romance.

How I Met My Wife...

I was 18 years old.

I met my wife in a restaurant called Pizza Den. She was sitting in a booth with her sister (who I knew casually) saw her and thought she was adorable.

Sat down across from them at the booth they were at and said "Hi!" to D (now my sister-in-law) but never even looked at her. Staring directly at her sister (now my wife) I said, "Holy cow, D! Who's that!?"

D said "This is my sister L."

I said, "Great. Don't you have someone else you can go talk to right now?"

The rest is history.

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all.

re: #181 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

another story like that. Stephen Pastis, the guy who does Pearls Before Swine, has a few times told the story of how he met his wife.

He saw her at the bar and was smitten. He asked her friends for her name, and then came up to her and said "I love you Staci".

Like your story, the rest was history.

I love things like that >>

Oookay.

I think crazy Pam is talking to herself. Check out her latest tip on school socialistic indoctrination supposedly sent in from a reader....
Obama's Brownshirts in School: Thuggery and Intimidation as Teachers Browbeat Children into National Socialism

Yesterday my 12 year old came home upset from school. Her 'guidance counselor' came into the classroom and asked those who opposed Obama to raise their hands. My daughter and four or five others raised their hands.

The teacher than demanded that my daughter 'debate' her about universal health care. When my daughter gave some facts and said that she doesn't agree with it (she's a well read girl who loves politics) the teacher began to berate her and told her that her two sons (middle aged men) couldn't afford health care and implied my child was a bad person and wanted to deny her sons and children the right to health care. You know the usual routine.

Then when my child said that she thought it was socialistic and there were better options the teacher again berated her- didn't she like public schools- again the standard liberal lines. Then my daughter said she thought the public schools were poorly run and that unions were causing issues. The teacher end ed up with a "socialism is good" comment and implying that my child was a not very good person for her beliefs.

I've called the principal about this. It reminded me of the teacher prior to the election- the John McCain will keep your father in wars forever woman. What sort of adult is so lacking in judgment and is so needy for an ego boost that attempting to destroy a 12 year old in debate is attractive to her?
...
Well, my daughter went off with a smile to school today after I congratulated her on her valiant attempt to stop indoctrination in her school. What she was most upset about was the imbalance of power- the teacher could say whatever she wanted to her, but she had to be polite and watch what she said. (The teacher didn't like when she questioned if her sons had thought about getting rid of cable or using a less expensive cell phone to try to budget for their own health care instead of relying on others) Anyway my good, smart girl did tell me and I think t he principal is going to do something about it.

I would add to your list of what parents can do- get your kids some books to read- my child loved the 'Arguing with Idiots' book and I've ordered a couple of others for her as well. We talk about politics and I try to give my kids the tools they need so when they are attacked by an idiot teacher they can have some defenses to fight back. I think that is critically important. Maybe Pam could come up with a list of good books/references for teens and preteens to that end?

The typos and grammatical errors sure looks like it's Pam's writing.
