That's a good answer to those that were accusing zombie of faking it. Thanks for posting it, Charles!

O/T

The cover of tomorrow's Gulf News calling for REVENGE!

Someone should send a link to that photo to the Peaceful Tomorrows crowd.

Someone with DU access should post it there, too.

Wow, Alex, how the hell did you get access to that?

I wonder if Sheikh Muhammad Kamal Mustafa has any guidelines for how to 'discipline' people like this genius.

Kerry's Kids.

Black flag in the background should also raise some eyebrows. Yeah, I know, it's anarchy, but still...

Check out the terrorist-loving tool in the third picture: zombie's link.

How about sewing him in a sack with some pissed off porcupines?

I'd like to beat the shit outta that guy.

Actually, this link may be better. And take note of his lovely sign too.

I would like to put that guy in a room with 4 guys: 2 NYPD, 2 FDNY, and close the door. 30 minutes, tops. B*stard.

I think the I_L_NY guy is just sending a confused message. I think he means he loves NY and after the towers were taken down he has a yet warmer place in his heart for NY (love/sympathy).

I doubt seriously that he means he likes the idea that the WTC was whacked to oblivion, but I could be wrong

Aaargh! There was just an earthquake.

Where's Ed Moran the Weather Man? Let's see what that one was on the Richter scale.

Yo Charles. If I counted correctly, you've made 23 posts today (and I'll bet you're not through yet)! Jeez - if there'd a been LGF when I was a teenager, I could've blamed my incipient carpal tunnel on you, instead of
Hustler magazine!!!
And over the weekend you had something in excess of 3000 visitors on line at one time. Man, maybe there is something to your bike riding (other than sweating an awful lot just to go from point A to point A (hat tip, Thom!!).
Just wanted to say thanks, again, for litllegreenfootballs.

So, we can carry a sign that says, "I'd love San Francisco even more without the idiot 'I heart NY Guy.' Anyone got a plane?"

I absolutely know how horribly morbid and in bad humor that is. I was not trying to offend, just making a point to someone who obviously doesn't understand compassion.

I'd gladly trade this 'tard for anyone and everyone in the Towers or non-hijackers on the planes that day.

zulubaby,

a strong one?

OT: And the frogman Stikes

#14 Max Darkside

But the sign says 'even more without the WTC' as in: 9/11 brought about an improvement of some kind...

2.9

#14 Max Darkside
I think the ® after NY is a sign that the guy is serious in his depravity.

#13 Jaffar abu Grand Vizier Now why would you want to insult NYPD and NYFD? Thirty minutes? No way - try like maybe, oh , 3 minutes, tops. ;>P
I'll tell y'all what - I'd love San Francisco more if this guy were dead.

#14 Max Darkside:

Man, you get credit from me for having a heart as big as one of Dolly Parton's attributes, and giving your fellow man the benefit of the doubt; but, given the bunch of scum Mr. NY was marching with, I can't agree with you. Context is everything.

But we can still be friends, right?

If you want to play with the brains of liberal peacenics, get one of those "Peace Through Superior Firepower" peace symbols (stickers/pins). They really get confused when they look at them, twisted upset that you are hijacking THEIR symbol.

Look here: [Link: www.lifelibertyetc.com...]

No, I have no affiliation, just that I LOVE the confused "pissedness" of the LLL when they see it.

Bwahahaha!

Rayra, you didn't feel it!?

2.9? piffle.

I was scared! Plus, I'm a drama queen :-P

it took a double take to get this one, then BLAMMO! what a sicko.

#26 realwest

LOL! No disrespect intended to those fine servants, but I have a mental picture of the reaction of your average New Yorker (especially police or fire) who saw such an asshat. That man is lucky he's on the other side of the country...

evariste

I have a bunch of feeds like this which I download daily and check when I have downtime. Gulf News posts their front pages here. (they move the page so I saved it to my site for posterity and posted a link to that)

#27 andthenblammo!

Man, you get credit from me for having a heart as big as one of Dolly Parton's attributes

Ok, you are right. I am a boob for extending so much "credit" to a protesting moron.

mae west a culpa

2.9? That's a truck rolling over a manhole cover on the road outside.

I'm a native Californian. If it isn't over 5, it isn't any fun. Loma Prieta was fun - I got to miss 3 days of school for that one!

Coalinga was cool, too. Wasn't in school then, though.

Up until I missed Northridge(I was living in Monterey) I was beginning to think that the damn things were following me around.

There was an 8 pointer in Mexico while I lived on Catalina Island. It made GREAT waves!!!

zulubaby,

we had one on the East Coast this morning too. It was literally right under my feet.

For my favorite drama queen :-)

Fighting in Israel, earthquakes on both coasts...

THE END IS NEAR!!

/idiot-doomsdayer

There was an earthquake in central California last week. What this world is coming to?

Alex-RSS or Atom feeds, right? If I give you an email address would you send me your opml file? In your RSS aggregator it's usually somewhere like File->Export OPML or Export XML or Export Subscriptions.
Any chance you'd be willing? If so email me above, please.

militarybrat (#37)

2.9? That's a truck rolling over a manhole cover on the road outside.

LOL! What are you saying, that I'm a ninny!?

Re-post from the earlier thread that most people missed:

REALITY ALERT!
Both Thom and Doug have posted on their sites the three photos I have of the "I luv NY even more without the World Trade Center" guy -- the raw, untouched, full-sized complete images, straight out of my Canon PowerShot and onto the Web. Check them out for yourselves before accusing me of having Photoshopped anything:

Thom's site with all three raw images
Doug's site with image #1
Doug's site with image #2
Doug's site with image #3

If that doesn't shut up the reality deniers, then nothing will. Pay particular attention to the third image where the guy with the sign is way over on the edge of the picture, at an angle, in extreme closeup. If that doesn't convince you the images are real, you're a lost cause.
Thank you Thom and Doug!

In other news, elgato has created a mirror site for the images
at this site. Thank you elgato!

Why is this all necessary? Because the photos have exploded across the Internet. I am getting 100,000 hits per hour on my Web page. A great number of those hits, apparently, are coming from people who think I somehow faked the images.
There comes a time when everyone has to face reality. I hope this is that time for many sensible Democrats and leftists who find themselves trapped in an abusive marriage of convenience with hatemongers and fascists. Wake up, people.

#36 Max Darkside:

"boob"? "mae west a culpa"? You wield a deadly punning tongue, sir knight. And a silver one, it would seem...

evariste, LOL!! That's too funny, leave it to you to find that :-)

Alex (#38), so the earth is shaking under our feet! We're doomed!

#31 zulubaby "Plus, I'm a drama queen :-P" No shit? I always thought you were a real woman!!! ;>)
Sorry, I'm just in a NYC/SF frame of mind right now!!!

33 Jaffar abu Grand Vizier not only is he lucky he lives on the other side of the country (zulubaby's turf) but I live in NYC and I think I'M really lucky he lives there too.
No insult intended to zulubaby, Rayra and our other left coast friends!
Seriously, when I saw Rayra's photo of this guy, the entire 9/11 flashed in front of my eyes; I lost my Dad and some damn good friends in the WTC and if I'd seen him here, he'd either be in the morgue or the ER and I'd be the one in Jail.

evariste...you might be interested in this site which has 286 newspaper front pages from around the world.

Doomed!

Doomed, I tell you.

Evariste - Minigun is getting angry ...

zulu:

We all have our ninny issues. When hubby and I were stationed in San Antonio, I would freak out every time there was a tornado warning. It drove me nuts that there were no basements in all of Texas. I was SURE I was going to end up in Oz.

I even stored soda and snack bars under the sink in the "windowless bathroom" you are supposed to hide in if the thing is upon you.

Doss-thanks, I've seen that one, but if I'm understanding Alex correctly he can get them as RSS feeds, which is much more convenient and useful to me.
Thom-cool! I'm about to go back over there and check out the carnage :-) Ha ha ha ha ha, I love it!

#44 zombie

Do you think it would it be better to break that first page into 3 separate pages? All told the 3 pics add up to 3+ MB.

# 12 zulubaby

This guy is looking for some off duty cops to come running out of a bar and kick his ass. That would have happened in old San Francisco. Today if they just glared at him they'd be charged with a hate crime.

The leftist gay community will be protected until some other minority makes them politically expendable. Then who will protect them?

You know, the guy could just be or say he's against trade. Whatever he thinks that might be.

It could well be that he is even more stupid than you might imagine.

#30 zulubaby

Rayra, you didn't feel it!?

Please oh please don't make it that easy hon.

*grabs left hand with right so I won't type anymore *

Based on the (lack of) reaction from his fellow marchers I assume that they love NY "even more without the World Trade Center" too.

A link on Drudge to a story about a guy who socked his defense attorney (heh heh heh) during his murder/rape trial gave the name Malik El-Shabazz.

I know that Betty Shabazz, widow of Malcolm X, had a grandson named Malik. Is this the same guy? Anyone know? If so, they certainly didn't mention that little factoid.

[Link: www.timesleader.com...]

Disgusting. The liberals are aiding and comforting the terrorists. Funny, since the terrorists hate them the most.

Why doesn't the brave demonstrator go share his message in downtown Manhattan?
Pussy.
Easy to say what you think when you're surrounded by like minded whackos.

I remember the last earthquake in LA -

Zulubaby innocently asked "Charles, did you feel the earth move?"

I couldn't contain myself for the next half hour...

I don't mean to pick on you Zulubaby, but it was really funny...:)

militarybrat, I couldn't deal with a tornado. Earthquakes are one thing but I think I'd be more afraid of a tornado plus, it would ruin my hair.

ESTEBAN (#55)

Oh, I'd like him to try being gay in the Palestinian territories, they'd have him strung up and gutted in no time at all. But he'll carry on supporting the intifada anyway. Idiots.

Iron Fist;

Not only would they consider it "hate speech," they'd call you a racist, homophobic, gender exclusive oppressor. Then they'd call for the death penalty for your support of the death penalty.

Then they'd dance on your grave to folk music and protest tunes sung by Joan Baez.

RWC & Frank IBC, shaddap :-P From now on I'm only discussing the weather with Ed Moran, that's it!

#36 Max Darkside -

Thank you very much, you did have to bring up Dolly Parton when everyone else is talking about earthquakes, didn't you?

Now I can't get the image of the Geology Department of the UCLA using Dolly Parton as a seismograph out of my mind.

evariste,

I know this is going to sound so 2001, but I just use perl and cron to download an ever growing list of pages (some static some with changing names). At some point I plan to put it in a public folder on my 12thman.us server, but Hosting Matters has temporarily disabled shell access.

#66 zulubaby

Awww c'mon !!! Party pooper. :-(

Does anyone know the troll thread that evariste and Thom are talking about?

RWC, it's here, I think.

#69 RWC

It's at Flit - BruceR's blog.

My only comment on Zombie's pics is that I've seen more excitment in a kindergarten outing.

These people look as if they were recruited for $5.15/hr to walk around with some signs they pick up out of a pile.

I can almost hear it now...

"Ok, everbody, now here is what we will do today. To get your pay, you have to put in at least two hours, walk from here to where the lady with walkie-talkie is and she will tell you where to go next. Make sure you wave the signs for any cameras, but only co-ordinators with green hats and a badge can speak to the press.

When the time is up and you get finished, just toss the sign into the dumpster and check in at that table across the street for the pay envelope. If you are SAG union, be sure you get your copy of the public performance release form from the co-ordinator. If you want to be in the next casting call for any of our next upcoming protests, leave your name and number or we won't call you.

Thank you very much. Have a nice day. "

RWC

It should be here

zulubaby

You are not a ninny! And I do understand that some people are unnerved by earthquakes. But like militarybrat, I'm a California, born and raised in LA.

I've found earthquakes pretty neat and have been disappointed when they are so small that only sitting quietly can you feel them.

Memorable ones for me have been Sylmar, Whittier Narrows, and Northridge.

I'm much more leery of tornado alley in the mid-west, or hurricanes off of Florida. Those come every year, while a really big earthquake (like Loma Prieta... which will always be remembered because it happened during the World Series, shaking Candlestick Park, and collapsing a double decker freeway) happens only once every 10-25 years.

Course, I can see why non-capitalist countries fear earthquakes...the corruption is such that small/medium on the Richter scale that do no more bust a bunch of wine bottles on the floor, kill thousands in places like Iran.

Bestest thing to do zulu, is hang on and ride it out.

:-)

Is anyone surprised by that sign? I'm not. As an ex-Democrat and I can assure you that there are millions of Americans who want: 1) a Socialist State 2) a secular country where mostly Christian expression is outlawed. 3) Heterosexual relationships are devalued. 4)Pornography replace sex education. 5) Harmful drugs legalized. 6) Limits on income. 7) the automobile replaced by the bicycle. 8) People who have talents in the physical sciences to be replaced with Socialist Engineers. 9) parenting dictated by a Socialist state. 10) Jesus declared as a gay prophet. 11)Islam scholars to be represented in the US Congress. 12) The Pentagon turned into a police agency that is subject to supervision from the UN. 13) Abortion on demand for 12 year olds...

Oh, well, you get the idea.

How can you fight back? Don't do any commerce with these kind of people. Don't hire them. Don't make purchases from them.

Most importantly, don't waste time trying to reason with them.

And if they get in the way, run 'em over.

About the protester with the I LOVE NY EVEN MORE... sign.
Just a hypothesis : could this person's rationale have been "I think about the WTC as just a building (I refuse the mental image of people inside) - I will always Love NYC no matter what - No one can bring back the WTC - Therefore, even if it has disappeared, I will LOVE NYC even more without it. (Remember, I just think glass and steel structure...)"

Would have been ahelluva clumsy way to get such a message across, but would this be a valid reason this person could have for indeed a stupid sign given the spirit of the crowd around?

#73 andrew

Holy freaking hells bells. The Original Fuc*ing Minigun. Gotta go observe this. Tooo freaking funny.

Oh...another thing about the I [heart] NY guy

If this guy is FBI he's been pushing a pen too long.

Iron Fist;

I had a sudden image of that woman sent by Dr. Evil to kill Austin Powers when you said you took a whole lotta killin'.

"Why... won't... you...die!!!"

I just make faces and laugh at people until they rush me. Then I run and hide behind all my big huge, prison guard cousins. One of whom is female. She's scarier than the rest.

Ok..ok... I may be the stupid one then!

Bestest thing to do zulu, is hang on and ride it out.

Thanks Darleen :-) I wasn't living here when the Northridge one hit but some of my friends were. The damage to their pool was tens of thousands of dollars besides everything else, and they're in West LA!

zombie,

You'll be happy to know that your picture is literally all over the web. I was going to compile a list and post the links, but realized it was getting to be a bit much when I got up to 16 and kept finding more...

It got posted on Fark.com almost immediately (not by me, surprisingly enough...) and even some of the resident moonbats were shocked and offended. (Of course, one little twerp damn near had a stroke insisting it was photoshopped...)

Good job, my fellow minion.

#83 militarybrat

I just make faces and laugh at people until they rush me. Then I run and hide behind all my big huge, prison guard cousins.

Speaking of which, my cousin down in Texas won some powerlifting contest between all the guards. That is a big as* SOB.

#vtrtl
Am french-speaking and even with what I think may be my ok capacity of understanding English, I admit I did not understand your comment. Does it mean "buzz-off" or "you're forgiven for a dumb post" ? :)

OMG, evariste and Thom have Minigun in knots!

Mwa ha ha. RWC is cracking me up too, but I'm too giggly to figure out how to play the straight man. andrew just posted a good line for him to riff off of. I'm afraid of posting anything because maybe Minigun doesn't know that RWC is one of us, and maybe he'll post something comical.

#94 zulubaby

My apologies. I didn't see that you had posted the link also. Thanks. This should be fun >-)

RWC, no worries. I misunderstood you anyway and posted to the LGF thread.

Iron Fist;

Actually, I was making reference to the mean and tough thing. Which was certainly NOT calling you an asshole. I somehow don't think I'd want to be on your bad side.

Anything that frustrates hippies is fun and good in my book.

#85 zulubaby

I wasn't living here when the Northridge one hit but some of my friends were.

Oh, let me tell you, being directly over the epicenter of a 6.5 is an experience you wouldn't soon forget.

Should have looked up Google for Occam's Razor before. I am now a bit more educated. The erudition level on this site is just amazing.

holy fact check batman you guys have no mercy

I get home, come to LGF to check on all the important facts . And what do I find, y'all having way too much fun without me. :)

#102 jimmytheclaw - You're correct.

I lost my Dad in the WTC. And several friends. It doesn't matter to me that this guy is an idiot. I don't really care about his "politics". His conduct is not just ignoring the pain he has caused many of the surviving victims of 9/11; he's pushing more of it.
I tried to be a little lighter on this in my post at #47, but I just can't take it anymore.
Just give me two minutes alone in a locked room, no windows, with this guy. Hell, I'll settle for 1.
I wish Rayra or Zombie or someone out there could take the clearest pic of this guy, and photoshop or whatever a banner across the bottem of the pic:

WANTED: DEAD OR DEAD
paid for by the victims of 9/11.

Hell I'd pay for a hard copy myself, but would love to see THAT posted here and all over the internet.

#102 jimmytheclaw

BWAHAHA!

Oh wait. How does Iron Fist put it?

or something ...

realwest i was talking of the fisking of minigun on that other blog

Of course - how could I have forgotten that? :)

@ All --- I have asked in other threads but no answer -- Did any of the big news organizations pick up on the idiot with the I love NY sign? It was in "best of the web" from the WSJ today but nothing else that I have seen.

I must say, where is the f'ing outrage! Those f'ers walking next to him (her?) -- it would have been well worth a night in the local jail for clocking that bastard.

@ real - sorry to hear of your loss

Thom-thanks, it took me a few minutes to dig them out of Google :-) I got a new one up, audio this time ;-)

Bro, if you're at war, you've just committed a war crime. A seriously heinous dastardly maximus type of war crime. My eyes want payback. And they will get it.

RWC, Thom:

You guys have been living off the fat of the land too long now, hear what I'm saying? Welcome back to the fold.

I have a good, American, entrepenurial idea. Let's all raise 10,000 dollars as a reward for anyone who will give us that fuckwit's name and address. Chip in another 100 bucks for the local Hell's Angles to chain-whip and stop the shit out of him, then make millions selling the video of his demise? Why, all the shareholders would be rich!

Sign up now!

P.S. Actually, the Hell's Angels would probably be gravely insulted by this deal, so let's just forget about the 100 bucks.

Oh well, I always dreamed of a new Minigun session and I finally got one.
I am not leaving him alone if he tries to live this down on Flit's boards.

OK folks. I have to head home real quick. Hopefully ya'll are still awake. (only takes a 1/2 hour) I shall return to break out the big girls guns.

That one RWC posted just about knocked me out of my chair. Good thing I wasn't drinking anything. :)

Fine. Fine. You want fat? You want disgusting? You want no redeeming social value? You want massive retaliation? Fine.

You asked for it.

I hope you're happy now.

OK. I gotta go. Here is a new puppy picture to cleanse the palate (sp).

I think it takes very special people to even feel anything under a 3

The only earthquake that I remember was summer of 1992 in Bakersfield. I was impressed by how much everything swayed, at such a slow relaxed pace.

Does a Dr. Lucille Jones still come on TV after every major earthquake in the Southland?

We have Dr. Neil Frank, retired head of the National Hurricane Center on KHOU-TV. Dr. Frank is very old school, has the same GI flat top he had back when I was a little hurricane fan and he would come on TV from Miami.

Dr. Frank, brief bio

Dr. Frank may someday become as big a Texas weather tradition as the late Harold Taft.

Taft was a life saver

I answered the National Weather Service phone on the night of May 8th, 1981 to hear the familiar voice of the greatly respected, legendary Texas TV meteorologist Harold Taft. Having worked with Harold on a number of preparedness projects, he recognized my voice, and asked, "Alan is that what I think it is on the radar scope?" I answered, that yes, it was a developing hook echo, and that we were preparing a tornado warning for Tarrant County and the city of Fort Worth. Harold went on the air immediately, announcing the tornado threat a minute or so before the NWS warning hit the weather wire circuit.

The next day I surveyed the damage from what we later decided had been a combination of downburst and sporadic tornado spin ups. A gentleman whose home incurred severe F2 damage remarked to me that Harold's warning had saved his family's lives. My initial reaction was to tell him that while the NWS had issued the warning, its dissemination was a joint effort between the NWS, broadcast media, and local Emergency Management. Luckily, I didn't say anything. What mattered other than that lives were saved?

Taft organized early North Texas storm spotter networks

My interest in storm chasing developed through my involvement in amateur radio and RACES SKYWARN storm spotting. During my junior high and high school years, I was a "Weather Watcher" for a local TV weather legend, Harold Taft. Before the National Weather Service SKYWARN program got off the ground, Harold Taft trained his group of Weather Watchers to spot and report severe weather. Harold Taft held training sessions each year at the WBAP (now KXAS) studios, located just east of downtown Fort Worth. He had Weather Watchers in almost every county and many small towns across North Central Texas. Mr. Taft also collected rainfall reports and relayed them to viewers during his telecasts on WBAP-TV (now KXAS), channel 5. Harold Taft was one of the vanishing breed of TV personalities who brought both integrity and professionalism to the airwaves, something that is often a rare commodity on television today. However, his successors at channel 5 are carrying on in his tradition.

Of course, the last guy to rub Cruella McDork's feet ended up like this. So be careful.

RWC:

YOU ARE BAD!!! I was in the process of calling my Minnie Mouse to see a cute doggie picture! I had to obfuscate and do some quick clicking!!! Now she is totally perplexed.

Never do that again! Sheesh.

By the way, Minnie Mouse has decided that she wants to be a "Princess Fighter Pilot" when she grows up. Pink flight-suit, tiara on top of the flight helmet...

IRONIC NOTE: The World Trade Center site is still a mess, but the reconstruction of Iraq is going ahead at full speed. Still, it's a "quagmire." If Iraq is a quagmire, what's New York?

#132, I may never be able to forgive you for that. Do you have stakes I can drive into my eyes?

Bed time.

Hope I didn't miss too much internet fun, but the Mrs. rented "Old School" and it was due back ma&ntildeana so we had to watch it.

Not quite as funny as "Animal House", IMHO, but funny.

#136 Beagle:

Aw come on, she seems like a nice person with a real *cute* personality!

#119 rayra

?? Howdy neighbor!? I was there, two blocks from the Meadows apts. Lost my house / yellow tagged. whereabouts?

Actually, mine wasn't Northridge, it was Big Bear City 6/28/92 (click on the "6.5"). My work was red-tagged and the house next door was red-tagged, but all I got was my chimney detaching itself from the house. That and everything in the kitchen was on the floor -- every dish and glass I owned was broken. I held my big (plexiglass) aquarium against the wall so it didn't fall over.

We just need to keep watching the Liberal websties and blogs. Sooner or later someone will be stupid enough to post a picture where you can see this guys face.
Or, just as likely, he'll be dumb enough to brag about it.

For those of you who are trying to find a reason to give him the benefit of the doubt... give it up. Stop trying to believe that humans are "basically good" on the inside. The fact is that we are evil to the core, but have the will to choose against it. If you can conceive of an act, no matter how immoral, disgusting, violent, etc it may be, there are people who would do it in a heartbeat if given the chance.

It's time to stop trying to see the "good" in these animals, and time to start butchering them.

Iron Fist:

I know you wouldn't need the help with this guy, but I would like to offer my assistance. I mean, I have a black belt test coming up and could use a practice/warmup.

#135 militarybrat

Sorry :-(

That is just adorable about Minnie wanting to be the Princess Fighter Pilot :-)

I tried emailing you this link but I am on my home computer which is screwy with LGF email.

*I didn't think any children would still be up to see that other picture. I guess that doesn't work when you call them in to see it ;-)

I also don't know if you have seen the other newer pics. They are on the right side of that page.

Zulubaby, Rayra, militarybrat, Spiny Norman

Just how many of us LGFer's in So. Cal?

And when do we get together for drinks and plotting?

:-)

Rayra

Wow.

I grew up in Granada Hills (1954-68..then moved to Brea), I was living in Ontario in '94 and even the Inland Empire rocked-n-rolled (ok...one daughter slept through it). I remember so vividly one particular sight the TV news captured... a gyser of water from a broken hydrant, shooting a huge, powerful plume into the air through an undulating ball of flame .. a gas main had broken and ignited.

That was on the corner of Rinaldi and Balboa ... the way I walked each day for seven years while attending Rinaldi Street Elementary School.

it was weird.

Luckily, I've never suffered much if any damage from quakes, however I still live in the Inland Empire and we get the wind like Granada Hills does. Last spring, it was so fierce (clocked with 85 mph gusts at LA-ONT airport), it was ripping up trees and felling powerpolls. Our 2nd story looks out over the valley and we woke to watch as transformers were blowing up... hot blue-white flares...and whole swathes of the city go immediately dark. We lost our power, too... for two days! You don't really realize how much you take electricity for granted until you don't have it!

Oh.. and then there were the fires last October that came within a hairs breadth of wiping out the neighborhoods just north of us (people at my work lost their homes)

So. Cal "seasons"

Fire
Mud
Smog
Quake

;-)

though, I can't think of any place I'd rather live!

Darleen, I think there are quite a few of us and it would be great if we could get together. Where and when? :-)

Rayra,

Yikes. My 'quake story wasn't nearly so bad... I had one of those legendary adrenaline moments though: while I'm getting sloshed with aquarium water I hear what sounds like a truck hitting my house. When the shaking and banging stops, I go outside and find the neighbor's massive stone chimney has collapsed against the side of my house and buried the gas meter. Convinced I can smell gas, I heave a huge chunk of stone and mortar off of it and shut off the gas. Well, a couple of days later when the guy from the Gas Co. comes by to check the system and turn the gas back on, we could not move that thing for the life of us -- it must of weighed at least 400 lbs.

I worked for the local paper back then and, wouldn't you know it, we didn't miss an issue, despite having all of 48 hours to set up in temporary facilities. Jittery nerves and continuous aftershocks created kind of a bunker mentality: a popular t-shirt commemorating the event read:

Oh Lord, give us this day only a 4.5!

Rayra,

Who run Bartertown?

;^)

#117 RWC's "Lil Friend" is similar to a woman in my office. (But with clothes on.)

She has two limbs that are literally the size of sacks of concrete attached to her body. It takes a massive effort on her part just to move these two sacks so that she can make some semblance of walking like a normal person.

I do sympathize with her plight, but OTOH, I have to ask myself, what was she thinking when she weighed "ONLY" 300 pounds? Or 250? Or even 200? Sorry, but she didn't come out of the womb weighing 400 pounds.

Probably someone has said this already, and I apologize if it's old news... but I think the sign guy thought he was making a clever statement against globalism. He thinks the destruction of the World Trade Center was a blow against world capitalism... an instance of common cause between the Islamofascists and the Socialist Left.

He thinks the destruction of the World Trade Center was a blow against world capitalism

It may be so. But how can one be so moronic not to think of the double meaning of this type of slogan? Oh, yeah, it reminds me of a good quote by Michel Audiart, anreally funny and ironical scenarist:
"C**ts dare everything. In fact, this is how you recognise them"

Something else is apparent looking over the pictures. You know, lefties really should ask for their mothers' help when they dress. I mean, okay, granted... you'll find me in jeans and a sweatshirt or jersey most weekends, I'm definitely not "Queer Eye" material, but I know enough not to wear pink and orange together. These people, for the most part, look like they dressed themselves out of the reject pile at Goodwill.

I just wonder if any of the 9/11 victims' families that belong to the anti-war coalition would have anything to say about this creep. You know which groups. The ones that support John Kerry. Do you think they'd distance themselves from the likes of this wingnut?

After all, they're against 'the war,' Bush, and anything that the US has done to protect itself from further attacks.

I trust people are archiving these photos to throw back in the LLL's faces at an opportune time.

#104 realwest

I just wanted to say that I am very sorry to hear your Dad was among the victims of 9/11 and it must be very painful for you to see idiots like the guy in the photo-people who have no idea how much pain they cause to the families with their stupid and offensive ideas of "protest".

...and LOL at the uglies...eyes still burning.

Anyone ever consider that he might be a saboteur, holding that sign to mock the others? Kind of like an "I [heart] Saddam" sign in the middle of the anti-war protests last year.

Maybe?

Tell me why you're so sure it's not.

#160 split lip rayfield

Considering that it doesn't look like any of the lefties are shocked by his sign, or even bothered to give him a "Hey man, that sign is not cool," what does it matter?

#153 Frank IBC

You've hit on a pet peeve of mine. I can't tell you how many times I have been almost crushed to death on the subway by similar ladies and gentlemen taking up one and a half of a row of three seats.

And don't get me started on fat smell...sorry if that offends anyone but it exists.

IronFist

yeah, I have a feeling my school is like yours.

I know that the test starts at 8 am...

I've been told that I should expect to be at the studio until at least 4 pm.

Ugh...the rank tests up to this were bad enough (at least 4 hours for a brown belt test).

WriterMom-LMAO at fat smell.

#165 evariste

So you know what I'm talking about? Finally someone understands! I must call my therapist and tell him I've made progress!

You know, "aardman" that funny soul said I was like, a real Ernest Hemingway, and I asked him which of us was the fat, depressive, half talent, woman hater. He never replied, but you better believe he left a trail of Fat Smell here.

Why does this guy not carry the sign in lower Manhattan?

Has this been covered in ANY media at all?

Makes me ashamed to say I was born and raised in San Francisco. When I'm overseas, I tell people I'm from California instead. Ppl marvel that we can turn out our "leaders" if they're not doing the job. And they marvel even more when they find out Ah-nold is doing a good job, considering the circumstances.

Maybe they'll be some sort of boycott of San Francisco and the Bay Area because of this?

One can only hope...

Awesome sign!

America finally got paid back for all the crap that it has done to people around the world. It's a shame that 3000 Americans had to die, but that doesn't compare to the hundreds of thousand of Iraqi kids killed by Clinton.

They were ugly buildings too.

That's why I don't like anarchists. Uneducated scam trying to get into a political conversation. Sun-damaged skin and smell bad.

#170 Anarchist

FOAD.

#169 anarchist

What RIP Ford said? May I add that first you should suffer terribly...and then FOAD slooolwy.

169 Asshatist

"hundreds of thousands of Iraqi kids killed by Clinton"

Just like Aznar killed the people on that train in Spain. Just like Sharon causes suicide bombings.

It's never terrorist asshats and their fellators like you that are responsible for their own killings.

It's like some LLL once upon a time got away with blaming a crime he did on "society" and ever since then being an LLL has meant never having to say your sorry because it's always whoever was in power when you dd your atrocity's fault.

Love me daddy.
