I think they're trying the "if you can't convince them, confuse them" arguement that my physics teacher mentioned a lot of teachers apply.Quote:

We are ALL victims of propaganda. Some good, some bad. Having seen both sides, I have made an educated/informed decision to lean right.
Don't expect the political powerhouses around here to make informed unbiased responses as all but a couple will freely admit they never listen to right wing issues or talk radio/news.Quote:

Now THIS is random:
Groundskeeper Willie was born William Sean MacIavel in a chickenshack outside Glasgow on February 30th, 1955. His parents, to whom he upholds a loving distance, gave him the standard Scottish upbringing, meaning that from the age of three he had to fend for himself. Willie attended St Andrews Groundskeeping College, where he majored in ancient Greek philosophy, with minors in sawdusting and Caber Tossing. After he graduated in 1974, he embarked on a trip to the Middle East to "broaden his horizon". Upon passing through Israel, he met and hooked up with that way too progressive Israeli Chick. Her in-your-face skankiness however confused him thoroughly and when they split, he vowed to lead henceforth a life in celibacy.
Willie emigrated to the U.S. in 1977 and competed for a couple of years in the North American Caber Tossing League (NACTL), but he had to quit during the big kitten huffing scandal in 1981, from which the NACTL never recovered. (The IOC had banned huffing kittens in pro sports in 1973.) Of course, Willie was innocent because he hadn't huffed any kittens - he has been huffing mountain lions since he was eight.
[edit] Willie's Rise and Fall. Or Fall and Rise. You decide.
Because of Willie's extreme intelligence and major in Greek Philosophy, he was able to get a job at Yale University as a World History teacher, earning $2,000 an hour. Also, because of Willie's popularity with the students as well as most of the students in Willie's class getting the best grades possible, Willie received a $3,000 raise and began to be paid $6,000 per hour. (Check the math, dude. It's Scottish math.) This raise helped Willie to become one of the richest teachers that ever worked at Yale. With his great wealth, Willie bought a giant mansion, started his own magazine and website, and got his own pet noodleies. He also had guest spots on many talk shows. Willie's so-far wonderful life, however, would soon take a turn for the worst. Willie's demise began during his part-time janitorial job at Yale, while he was cleaning the various buildings. Just by chance, Willie wandered into the building known as "The Tomb", which was the home of the evil society known as "Skull and Bones". When Willie walked into "The Tomb", the members of Skull and Bones (also known as Bonesmen) were secretly discussing their plans for world domination, as well as their allegiance with the Irken Empire. When the Bonesmen discovered that Willie had not only walked into their secret lair, but listened in on their evil plans, they grabbed Willie, gagged him, hit him in the head several times until he got amnesia, and threw him onto a freight train that was headed for Springfield. There, Willie (who remembered nothing about his encounter with the Bonesmen or his wealth, etc. due to his amnesia, but in a weird twist still knows everything he learned in groundskeeping college) was discovered by the principal of Springfield Elementary School, Seymour Skinner, who offered Willie a job as a janitor or "groundskeeper". Thus Willie settled into his true calling.

That sounds like a self admission of narrow mindedness.Quote:

Go ahead and think I'm a dolt. My caped internet persona is really down now. Shame on you:fuckyou:Quote:

We passed on the roomba. Maybe next time when the bank account has a little more padding. We don't need it for deep cleaning, we just need it to pick up the random crumbs and etc. that the kid scatters around. Sort of the same thing you get a dog for.
My parents have one, and my kid -- who loves buttons -- had a ball chasing it around and changing the settings.
I'm a little disappointed in this thread. Nobody's made a single statement of any depth, much less originality. Rush has just been spouting tired one-liners. He has absolutely failed to get anybody to actually engage him. Oh well...
Boo Cleveland, btw. It's too bad the Pistons are going to be coming off a 6 or 7 game series to play the spurs, who will have had a nice little rest.
The roomba is for all you granola crunching weenies. All fear the Robomower RL850!!

Holy crap i just looked at the robomower and my insurance went up.
You think THAT is random? Pffft. There's this two-hinged swingy thing outside the physics department where the movement is so random it can't be predicted by even the most powerful supercomputer because even a single atomic length difference in the way it is released leads to a completely different pattern of movement.Quote:

I'm still waiting for the big, bad, resident intellectual to surface and actually argue some of my valid points that everyone else seems to be dodging with well thought out elaborate jokes.Quote:

I can deal with that.
I have a field job. I also have two kids and a soon to be wife. I don't have a lot of time to formulate qwips like most of you.
But...you haven't made a point. Nary a damn one. You just made a couple statements. They weren't even that inflammatory, just the same old bullshit.
Well, I'll bite...where have you asserted a valid point?
Oh, and I don't need time to 'formulate a quip'. I am quicksilver.

That's just a start, but I'm sure someone will respond with some shallow Rush joke anyway, so whatever.
