The thinner and brighter than you elements would be accurate. Although you should know that CBG is actually a fictional character from a commercial television show (it's true, you can look it up.)

@Rush, Twitter and Facebook even on a desktop are pretty low requirements for internet.

This could not possibly be more wrong. Or dumber. Or less informed. Go read the Facebook thread, kid, I explained it all in there.

Martin lost the Alberta final to Kevin Koe. And it was a helluva game; two Brier winners, each world champions, although Martin has more pedigree. Just bad luck in the last couple of ends for Martin, a game he controlled but got away from him. Likewise, Glen Howard lost Ontario on his last rock of ...

Get it? Nah. You don't. You won't. You can't.

Predictably, nobody calls you out for trolling despite your wearing intentional idiocy on your sleeves and waving it as some sort of ...

Wait. Damn, your right. Again. Make the distraction more visually arresting. Damn.

No no no no no no no no no . . . but yes! You get it. After reflecting for a moment, you get it. It's perfect. You can see it right? Can visualize it? It's stunning. Walls, tunnels, stairways, galleries, internets ...

And Scottie, your right; those are cute mascots (I love the Russian sense of humor--darker even than mine.)

Why didn't I think of this ages ago?

THANK YOU!

Something "of the sort" most certainly did occur. Not in the exact words I used of course, but the intent was clear. Let's not do that.

Let's not make me repeat myself about the inappropriateness of errantly making something out of nothing. Such attitude is so . . . easily . . . misinterpreted ...

Scottie

Look, we can debate and disagree all we want here. But there's no need to ever tell someone to leave the board. It's uncalled for.

Although I wholeheartedly agree with what you are saying, do note that nothing of the sort occurred. I suggested that if one is fond of trolling there is no shortage ...

I refuse to believe that Nye is too stupid to realize that Answers in Genesis wouldn't use the event as a fundraiser. The whole thing was pointless for Nye, except for getting more exposure to himself and probably a handsome payday.

He doesn't really need the exposure. Unlike Ham. Nye seems like ...

I got this one . . . Joy Division Transmission.

Scottie

At first glance it may seem hyperbolic, sure. I don't have the full quote, just what Sun cited. I'd imagine Nye is somewhat pissed off and/or disgusted, if only at himself, for participating in what turned out to be merely a fundraiser for an absurdity. Thing is, he's right.

So you don't think the Civil Right laws back in the 60's should have been passed? Because the way I'm reading this, it sure sounds like you think that those Lunch Counter owners had every right not to serve black customers.

Not what I'm saying at all. You know that. And I know that you understand ...

Exactly. Grave announcer voice, feigned concern, and then after the commercial they tell you that the something is only "Researchers at the Quatloo Institute of Fizbin have discovered ...

That's sort of true. By this reckoning it would be acceptable to refuse service to someone because they were black . . .

Right. Which is what Jerloma said (and to which I replied).

Of course there is this idea as well that those customers or potential employees that your turning away pay taxes that help to support an infrastructure that allows your business to exist/succeed/thrive.

I didn't think they outed Grandpa as a sex offender, just saying that 4 live in town. Then again, I was distracted the whole time wondering who dressed the anchor in a jacket 2 sizes too small, and let him go on air with both buttons buttoned and half his tie sticking out the bottom. I'd like to ...

I say we just let business owners discriminate at will and then let them suffer the consequences of it .

Or benefit from it.

It would provide liability protection. Besides, you shouldn't have to sell your goods to someone you don't want to sell them to or provide services to people to whom you ...

Did that come via Facebook or something? It's certainly dumb enough.

My friend who has been pushing Chuck on me for years ranked Choke #2, and Lullaby #1. It's a bit strange, but I hear a lot of similarities in the writing to Pygmy. Wouldn't expect that, since Pygmy is written in the broken English of a presumably (my presumption) North Korean kid.

Dang. I forgot about this. I had a bit part in this movie, strictly cutting room floor scenes (they would have been in the 1:22:00 legion bar scene, not that it matters).

Strange that WYO used to be so progressive (first woman vote, first governor) and now is backwards as F.

Or they are the first state to wake up to the fact that "progressives" are just the idiot hipsters of politics. Depends on who you ask, doesn't it?
