I saw a special on that bird. An apt name to say the least.

Got back from She Who Must be Obeyed's gig. Some bad craziness on the last thread.

(Cue theme from The Twilight Zone)

Good night All.

The engineers had just overhauled the engine or whatever on our Minesweeper and had a bunch of discarded roller bearings ... one had a slingshot (wrist rocket) ... we stood on the fantail and took turns shooting at seagulls - this was back in the early 60s - one guy tracked a gull and let go - you could see the bearing - a hefty chunk of metal - arcing out towards the gulls path of flight and wham - right under the wing - the gull dropped like a stone - we were suddenly aware of what had happened - everyone, including the shooter were mortified - we never did that again.

Now throwing eggs from our darkened ship at dry dock towards pedestrians trying to cross a bridge was another discretion and distraction.

Wild and crazy boredom Navy times in Charleston ... I belatedly apologize to our targets.

Ahhh Seagulls. Rats of the sea.

I was thinkin' more like a seagull - you know, morph into one for a day or so. Hang out with other seagulls, crap on tourists heads, nibble on whatever they nibble on, fly around, get some sun. That sort of thing. Not bbq'd for your pleasure, thankyouverymuch kthxbai.

I've always had a thing for women with British accents even the almost unintelligible cockney accents. Never dated any woman that had one though. My girlfriend in 1995 went to London for 4 months for school. I asked her to try really hard to pick up the accent for me. She didn't come back with an accent, just a new boyfriend.

She of course waited until she got back to tell me this. Made me waste a couple months turning down other opportunities. She also dropped this bomb on me on Christmas eve. The very next year, another girlfriend dumped me on Christmas eve as well. I was beginning to really hate the holidays.

Do you wear wrist bands to hide the scars, or two watches?

I'm trying to think of a scenario- any scenario- where my accent (or lack thereof) could be considered 'charming' or 'alluring' by any stretch of the imagination.

I actually don't have an accent per-se, but I can mimic the Southern, Boston and Canadian accents fairly convincingly, yet I get the feeling those are accents people automatically deduct IQ points from the second they hear somebody speaking it.

I can also speak conversational Spanish and some basic Russian, but I don't think fumbling through some really simple guidebook Spanish (or Russian) would be considered all that attractive.

After I got out of the Air Force, I looked for airline jobs. Non-existent. Well, not strictly true. I got an offer from a commuter for $18 large a yesr. So I wnt south and got a job as a geologist and knocked around the Gulf for a couple of years and then went with a multi-national that specialized in real time downhole data logging. I was basing myself out of New Orleans, but spent three months overseas and one month back home on leave. The overseas tours were three weeks on, one week off, but they kept you on half pay on your down time and gave you a plane ticket to wherever you wanted to go on the continent on your week off.

Pretty sweet.

Most of my work the first year and a half was in the North Sea (Aberdeen was referred to as Abilene because there were so many Americans coming through the town at the time), and my first three week stint was on the Dixielynn 95, which was staffed with about 80% Scots, 19% Brits, and me. I got off the helo, walked into the Hilton, and was met by a Highlander who attempted to explain the ins and outs of the rig to me. I looked around in a panic. I really was not able to understand him. One of the Brits on my crew was walking by and I grabbed him and asked him to translate. They both thought this was hilarious.

So, for about two weeks, I was the idiot yank. After a while, I was able to follow along, and by the end of the first three weeks, I was fluent. I can still pull off a reasonable Glaswegian or Edinburgian accent, but that Highland brogue is so still so dense I can't pull it off.

I really don't want to step on anyone's toes here, but I tend to agree. I love shooting doves. Tasty! Challenging!

It really has gotten to that point, hasn't it? On one hand, it's laughable. On the other hand it's just pitiful. And possibly destructive.

I think sane, reasoned, political discourse is necessary for this country to govern itself. But that assumes two adult organizations in the room. The Ds, for all their faults (and I am the first to admit they are Legion), put itself up as the Loyal Opposition when the Rs had control of the Exec, the Reps for all except the last two years of his term, and, for most of GWs presidency, the Senate. Was there BDS? You betcha! But the Ds national hierarchy quashed it, to a large extent. It didn't become the *public* face of the party to the country at large.

Things have changed. The Rs national hierarchy seems to be flailing as to what to do about *those people*. Reject them? Embrace them?

I can tell you this:

I live in Texas. The Rs down here *compete* for lunatic status. They try to out-Right each other in every primary race. This is now being played out between Rick Perry (A&M Cheerleader) and Kay Bailey Hutchinson (SMU Cheerleader) for the '10 Governor's race.

It's just one in a long series of poor science journalism articles... in this case yet another confused sod over Latif's statements.

Oh, and as for which year is warmest in recent times... that depends upon whether one includes the Arctic temperatures. The UK data ignores the Arctic temperatures above a certain latitude, but the GISS data includes it. That is why there is a difference between the GISS and Hadley charts.

Doesn't sound the same. This place had enormous drinks - like freakin' fishbowls. And one mixed drink was blue, I remember that. It was the first time I'd ever been to a strip club, and a girlfriend and I duped this young Mormon friend into going with us. I don't know how many drinks later, but we talked him into taking his shirt and pants off, and he left with something like 60 dollar bills in his tighty whities.

I've been trying for years to get a Mormon to drink a Coke...nope...he'll drink an orange or a grape soda but no Coke.

Is there a reason he won't drink coke? Just a preferance?

re: #140 freetoken

The BBC said:

It [The MET] predicts that from 2010 to 2015 at least half the years will be hotter than the current hottest year on record (1998).

Didn't the MET say from 2009 - 2014?

re: #153 Cannadian Club Akbar

It's the caffeine I think. God hates that.

re: #152 BignJames

Honestly, once you get them to a strip club, getting them to drink a Coke is a done deal. It's all gravy from there.

Contains caffeine...a stimulant.

Then right now, God hates me. Hope he likes beer, though, because that will be later.

I wouldn't worry about it. Checking various religious dietary requirements, he seems pretty indecisive. You'll probably be able to slide past that bit.

It is in the Bible:

Beer

Beer (bē'ur) [key], in the Bible. 1. Unidentified place, to which Gideon's son Jotham fled. 2. Unidentified place, E of the Dead Sea between the Arnon and the Jordan, where Israel camped and dug a well. The little song quoted is one of the oldest poetic pieces in the Bible.

re: #168 Bagua

My radio during a news break warned of a mini ice age raising CO2 levels and people would die. I think they quoted John Holdren.

It's Norse religion, silly. And yes, it focuses heavily on the latter. ;)

(I just remembered the name of the drink.)

I invented a drink in Hawaii.. (It was a crazy night )
1 part Vodka..1 part OJ..1 part Passion fruit...
like a screw driver..But I called it a passionate Screw
Very popular that night

I found this tidbit about the old strip joint, from 1987:

HONOLULU Although they might have heard legends that would make a Hawaiian volcano god blush, denizens of these islands need not tremble just because Steve McMichael is making his first Pro Bowl appearance.

The hell-raising Bears defensive tackle is enjoying Hawaii family style, shooting a few rounds of golf and sipping drinks on the beach with wife Debra.

This is not the McMichael who once cleared out a bar by grabbing a microphone and singing his own invective-littered version of a fight song.

This is not the McMichael who, for $30 a night, bounced out unruly patrons from a strip joint called The Doll House South in Texas.

For some reason, I think it might have been an old quote. I can't find the story.

Please observer the pink fuzz around the line! The .3C is just the middle (most likely) of the range, with a rather wide uncertainty. This is really important, from a scientific viewpoint.

re: #173 Cannadian Club Akbar

My radio during a news break warned of a mini ice age raising CO2 levels and people would die. I think they quoted John Holdren.

I see it, it was the Man's CO2 emissions causing the mini ice age and a billion deaths by 2020, supposedly in his 1986 book. Youthful indiscretion.

re: #173 Cannadian Club Akbar

WND is pushing that story... they ran with it a couple of days ago (as a follow up to their un-attributed-to-Zombie Holdren attack.) Your radio station is perhaps just repeating what the WND pumpers are putting out.

Holy crab. While I was looking up anything on the old Doll House South, I came across a post from a guy in Texas... Anyway, he now has an adult diaper fetish. (I hope it's not same guy. I'd feel bad if we damaged him so much he's into diaper pron.)
