How are we doing on statistics for new hatchlings? I mean, the ratio of baby lizards to trolls? Anybody know?

good luck, have fun :)

The second time I've ever caught open registration. Fortunately the first time was the charm! Welcome to all the new hatchlings.

re: #11 Crimsonfisted

Crimson, long time, no type at you. How've you been?

anyone yet?

re: #11 Crimsonfisted

I got in here recently, and I'm cute as hell.

Your dreams have come true!

Come right in, all you cute, widdle, baby lizards. Cootchie-cootchie-coo. Do you want a sippie cup? Some carrot-warrots?

(Oops! I'm coming to grips with my own baby is in the second grade.)

Man I was so excited then that registrations were open

But then I remembered I slipped in a few months ago.

I wish it wasn't like this, but whenever I see a lot of .edu accounts signing up, I launch the troll monitoring systems...

I'm seeing a lot of .edu accounts tonight.

ooo what surprise are in store! will it be a lizardoid? or a chestbusting alien?

Welcome to the newbies, and just remember the rules - which can be distilled down to one simple statement. Be nice.

Nice to be here - nice to be remembered!

How've YOU been?

It would be so fun to have a second, more rabid, scok-puppet nic. But, such a precious commodity as access to posting here must be shared equally. Speaking of precious resources, here is the long-term solution to the Wahabbi threat from our fake allies:

TOKYO (Nikkei)--A government-affiliated research institute has developed technology for creating a diesel fuel from materials such as grass cuttings and wood chips, The Nikkei learned Monday.

Although similar technology exists for bioethanol fuel for gasoline cars, this is said to be a world first for diesel vehicles.

The Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth is aiming for commercial production in three years. RITE was established in 1990 by the government and leading Japanese firms in such industries as automobiles and power.

The biodiesel fuel in question uses a type of alcohol known as butanol made using genetically modified microorganisms. The biobutanol was created by cultivating a large number of these microbes in a vat and adding sugar produced by breaking down such plant fibers as grass and tree cuttings, wood, and rice straw.

Light oil is generally used in diesel fuel. But in testing commissioned by RITE, Honda Motor Co. (7267) subsidiary Honda R&D Co. confirmed negligible effects on vehicle performance when biobutanol was mixed with light oil.

RITE sees the biofuel as key to cutting greenhouse gases emitted from diesel vehicles. Once mass production begins, the fuel is seen costing almost the same to produce as bioethanol for gasoline-powered cars.

Demand for biofuels made from plants is expected to grow because they help curb carbon dioxide emissions. But to date, biodiesel fuels have been made from materials like coconut and tempura oils. There has thus been fierce competition among RITE, BP Plc of the U.K., DuPont of the U.S., and others to create a biodiesel fuel from plants. RITE has already applied for an international patent on the technology.

lets go up to the lab and see what's on the slab!

Okay newbies... let's see what you do with this:

A 23-year old Jewish woman was attacked and beaten in Paris.

A 23-year-old Jewish woman was attacked in Paris this week by two masked men of African descent, who beat her up and uttered anti-Semitic slurs, the Jewish Agency reported Monday.

Following the attack the young woman needed medical treatment. The local police launched an investigation into the incident.

The Jewish Agency further reported that another anti-Semitic incident took place in the French capital two weeks ago, when a young haredi man was battered by a cab driver.

According to the report, the youth was on his way to the synagogue with his brother-in-law and nephew, when the driver began shouting anti-Semitic slurs at them.

This story is just starting to make the rounds

I politely take issue with the above mentioned comment. If anything, my awareness of the world around myself has become more critical because of the education that I have received. What's not taught is what I call pure logic, the kind of common sense that is mocked and derided at these institutions. If anything, it has made me more aware of how weak and pathetic their arguments and assumptions are without context and merit. That being said, they are idiots! Logic and reason mixed with information and knowledge will overcome their baseless and inane assertions.

Well, anyway, did I miss something? The only person that I heard of who got caught in that big news story was one Senator from Louisiana, a Republican.
I never heard of anyone else and the story has moved off the news.
Could it be there were some Democrats and we never found out?
I thought there were lawyers upon lawyers going through these pages like Sherman marching through Georgia?

Woman calls police about 'fake' cocaine

ROCHELLE, Ga. - A woman was arrested after she called police to help "get her money back" after she was unhappy with the crack cocaine she purchased.

Juanita Marie Jones, 53, called Rochelle Police late Thursday night after she purchased what she thought was a $20 piece of crack cocaine, according to police reports.

She told officers she broke the rock into three pieces and smoked one, only to discover the drugs were "fake."

She took Officer Joel Quinn and Deputy John Shedd of the Wilcox County Sheriff's Office into her kitchen and showed them the drugs, police said.

She was promptly arrested on charges of possession of cocaine.

In that case I would have put a huge picture of me enjoying some food on my desk. Though I don't dine on swine myself, I wouldn't be opposed to having pig in the picture.

It's a matter of principle not a matter of tolerance. When I eat it is my private space I'm eating in. If this was because admins just don't want food there ever then fine but that was not the case. It's not intolerant to eat in front of self imposed hungry people. Although it might be a bit rude.

Shoving food down their throats would be intolerance. Teasing them about it would be intolerance. This doesn't come close.

Woman calls police about 'fake' cocaine

ROCHELLE, Ga. - A woman was arrested after she called police to help "get her money back" after she was unhappy with the crack cocaine she purchased.Juanita Marie Jones, 53, called Rochelle Police late Thursday night after she purchased what she thought was a $20 piece of crack cocaine, according to police reports.

She told officers she broke the rock into three pieces and smoked one, only to discover the drugs were "fake."

She took Officer Joel Quinn and Deputy John Shedd of the Wilcox County Sheriff's Office into her kitchen and showed them the drugs, police said.

She was promptly arrested on charges of possession of cocaine.

:so sad, so very sad...:

Pulled pork? Oh...oh, my scales and tail!

You have no idea how much I love pulled pork.

Crimson, we have got to figure a way for me to get out there.

His pullled pork is flavorful, juicy, slightly smoky, with a wonderful balance of spices, sweet, and smoke. And then the sauce! I just made a batch of his (secret) recipe. VERY popular at his location. We will have it available soon, I promise, for mail order. We need the bottling, license, all the legal stuff.

This has been years coming, developing recipes, and planning the business. It is thrilling it is happening now, we had a great opportunity and took it.

I wish it wasn't like this, but whenever I see a lot of .edu accounts signing up, I launch the troll monitoring systems...

I'm seeing a lot of .edu accounts tonight.

Well if its coming from deptofpoliticalcorrectness@diversityuniversity.edu ,
you know you've got problems.

Every so often I'll mine the UN website for stupid statements from stupid people. It never takes very long. Heres a good one about the looming humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

A senior United Nations official today appealed to the Palestinian authorities, Israel and all other parties to take immediate steps to re-open a major crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip to reverse a rapidly worsening economic, humanitarian and political situation.

“Failure to do this will lead to disastrous consequences: an atmosphere of hopelessness and despair in which extremism is likely to take hold,”

Be nice to Hamas or extremism might take hold in Gaza? Go back to the buffet table and reload on the cornbread you big dummy.

Sigh, if only I could get a pepperoni and italian sausage pizza with a big pitcher of beer...(I'm on the wagon and the wife has gone vegetarian on me. Yet another of life's simple pleasures gone away...)

re: #215 Mich-again

It says not to exceed 5.9 %. And very few are close to that. Most beers come in around 4%.

re: #220 Mich-again

I remember she was Amilie sometimes, whatever fancy struck her at the time. Lived in Colorado and moved didn't she?

There is something that confuses me. A couple things, actually.

I have been reading the Harry Potter books, although not in order (I've seen the movies so far, so I guess it doesn't matter that much what order I read them in). I read Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix, then skipped ahead to read Deathly Hallows, and just finished Half-Blood Prince.

Here's what I don't understand:

I've heard that a lot of fundamentalist Christians don't like the Potter books, I guess because of the whole witches and warlocks and magic thing. But Christians lined up in droves to see the film of C.S. Lewis' Christian allegory "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," which contains plenty of magic, sorcery, etc. And I haven't heard of that many complaints from Christians about Catholic J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" or the films.

Disliking Potter just because J.K. Rowling sets her story in a world of wizardry and witchcraft seems incredibly silly and shallow to me. Christian allegories have been set in worlds of myth and magic since the Middle Ages.

Furthermore, the themes of the Potter books ... friendship, loyalty, steadfastness, courage, genuine, self-sacrificing love, resolution in the face of evil ... would seem to be exactly what conservative and fundamentalist Christians are saying there's not enough of in the West these days. (Heck, it's what us Lizards, Christians and otherwise, think there's not enough of in the West these days.) Why would they have a problem with kids learning about this stuff while following Harry through his magical adventures?

Now, the other thing I don't understand:

J.K. Rowling says she's a liberal.

But I can't find anything liberal in the Potter books. Heck, there's less liberal stuff you can draw out of HP than you can out of Lord of the Rings (lots of people find environmental and anti-industrial messages in LotR, and of course it was big with the hippie crowd in the 60's).

Voldemort is pure evil. He can't be redeemed, he must be killed, Dumbledore and Harry know it, Harry wants very much to do it, and Dumbledore has no problem with that. Harry, despite being brought up unloved, has boundless love and loyalty. He is steadfast and dedicated to his calling (which he enters into with much less reluctance than Frodo in LotR). And "greater love has no man than this, that he lays down his life for his friends." Ultimately, his devotion to his friends is absolute, yet even at the greatest extremes, he refuses to kill needlessly (as when he uses the Expelliarmus (disarming) curse, rather than the Avada Kedavra killing curse, on a pursuer he knows to be under the Imperius (magical control) curse.

I don't get what's liberal about any of this. J.K. Rowling's vision of good and evil is very much the conservative view, yet she aligns herself with those for whom most everything is relative.

Confusing!

She lives in Britain, full of leftist Dhimmis. She wants to sell books. So, she says she's a liberal.

And she's using her character to reverse the effects of moral equivalence taught to British schoolchildren by PC govt. schools.

I should find a way to introduce you to various cooking friends of mine, including the guy who does a spice mix to die for. He's planning on retiring in about 4 years, at which point he's taking his show on the road. Fantastic stuff!

I know you cooking and compounding types love to get together. I love throwing get-togethers. Consider this the start of a deep plot!

Or the plot of a short story. Hmmm...

re: #239 screaming_eagle

3.2 was a new to me as we didn't have it where I lived. It was wet and available, and usually that was good enough for a GI. Didn't take much to satisfy back in the day. I wasn't long removed from the handles of a one row plow and a mule's ass in a cotton field anyway.

Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" or the films.

I think that's a lot of noise from the fringe. I'm sure you'd think my house one of fundamentalist Christian types and when the Harry Potter books come out, we don't get to buy one - we get to buy two so the kids can read them at the same time. My oldest had the first one read the next day they came out. Even my wife reads them. And the movies? We've got them and seen them all. So to answer your question about some of the Christians, I can't. Never made sense to me either.

The Harry Potter books must be pretty good. Maybe one day I'll sit down and read them.

re: #250 goodbye_natalie

Really? Wow!

I'm not really a fan - I drank way too much vodka during Russian studies (you can't talk to Russians unless you drink), and I've never cared for gin, but if you're in the right mood, they're interesting.

If you do drink, and allow yourself hard liquor, try one.

Then drink lots of water. The vermouth is the real problem in terms of dehydration, I've found.

re: #253 goodbye_natalie

All those shirley temple type drinks are fanary anyway Nat.

Fanary: adj.

used to describe drinks that are sissified or made with sweet sticky stuff.

Heh. A military buddy of mine used that word, and don't ask me where he got it, because I have no idea. Just made it up I'd bet. He was from North Carolina, tobacco country around Durham.

I got in a couple nights, ago. Been lurking for a couple years. I am very happy to be here with the lizards. This site is more my style, which is, well I don't know exactly, but it ain't Country Club Republican, more like Outlaw Biker Republican, or maybe quasi Anarcho Libertarian. Anyway, I hope I don't pee anyone off, or maybe I should just go ahead and be done with it. Cheers, y'all.

re: #257 Dianna

I know. It's strange to me too that I've never had a taste of a martini. I don't really drink anymore but I have enough to have guessed that I would have thought to try one.

And the more I thought about it, the more I can't really think of a time being around anybody else that has ordered one either.

Wow, more new lizards. The army grows. I'm still a fairly new poster, but a long time lurker.

In my opinion, the posters here rank head and shoulders above any
others on the web.

I come here everyday to see what is happening in the world. I have learned much I did not know. I tell others, the word is spread.

The fascists will not win as long as we keep spreading the word and we remain unafraid (and well armed).

Another thing you have to understand: We Americans have a different definition for the word Liberal than the Europeans do. You'll want to read the article at wikipedia on liberalism, and in particular the article on Social liberalism, followed specifically by the article on Social progressivism to understand the significance of that.
