  1. Google Chrome

    Google collects personal information...one must realize that just because you sit in front of a computer in your home does NOT make it private...kind of like having a party in a college town...hard to control who shows up, eh?
  2. Television

    after reviewing further evidence...NFG is right...clearly the Brits did invent the Internet...only they could come up with something like that. Invented America? Actually, no...you founded a colony (but then so did the Vikings, the Asians, and the Atlantians, but who is counting?) that rebelled...guess you want to take credit for India as well? Of course you did build Singapore...and blood pudding...and Shepard's Pie...but one thing that is British and amazing is Bass Ale...and for that I thank you. Also, you invented Benny Hill...and, given the following clip NOT INTENDED FOR ANYONE, I thank you: http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=zgnNAj39Fy4 So, that unites Britain with the Internet with a woman named "English"...coupe de grace! Oh, and that show "connections"...and "piece of cake"...and the "page three girls"...thanks!
  3. My Favorite Song....

    I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything [Chorus:] What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right here [Chorus:] What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way
  4. the Olympics

    Well, say what you want about China...but a $40 BILLION construction project and unknown amounts for the party and security and everything else...not to mention the loosely tied costs like the MAGLEV which had to be completed in time, but arguably not in the Olympic budget and all of the renovations in Beijing. Of course they alone have the money thanks to Wal-Mart. I would not want to have to follow that act...good luck, London! Just glad that America's failing infrastructure wont be highlighted in front of the world. The medal counting is always funny...America likes to count total medals while most others think Gold, then Silver, then Bronze sets the overall rankings. What I learned most about the Olympics is that Chinese Woman Diver is hot...while the rest of you perverts were watching the 11-year-old gymnastics I was appreciating the finer arts of Diving and women synchronized swimming/wh0re make-up...really was it really necessary to invent a sport that combined semi-under water ballet with playing-in-her-mothers-make-up-kit-cosmetics into one sport? Well...at least Thailand won a couple of medals...in women's weight lifting nonetheless...surely I expect Germany to take that event, but a country known to have 88-pound women produced Gold medal victors...astounding! And Nigeria won exactly nothing...period...even Togo made a better showing...but Nigeria didnt win the World Cup (like the world series of Soccer, but the rest of the world actually gets to play--translated for my fellow Americans) and didnt do squat in the Olympics...guess we will have to build a Navy and invade Jamaica... cheers
  5. the Olympics

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guo_Jingjing Guo Jingjing is like 26...do yourself a favor and type her name in Google and see what happens. By the by, in Thai language, 'jing jing" loosely translates as "very true" or "it is certain" or "without a doubt"
  6. My Favorite Song....

    I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I see a line of cars and theyre all painted black With flowers and my love both never to come back I see people turn their heads and quickly look away Like a new born baby it just happens evry day I look inside myself and see my heart is black I see my red door and it has been painted black Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts Its not easy facin up when your whole world is black No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue I could not foresee this thing happening to you If I look hard enough into the settin sun My love will laugh with me before the mornin comes I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes Hmm, hmm, hmm,... I wanna see it painted, painted black Black as night, black as coal I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black Yeah!
  7. that's what i call a SOAB

    - at al-Taqadum last year we had a Marine try to ship part of a human leg home...he said he was going to make it into a lamp...true story...war does strange things to people * not excusing the terrorist or the Marine in either case
  8. VooDoo

    there are more partial Voodoo projects than bad Ted Kennedy ideas...and that is a feat...but as the name implies, this project of getting an F-101 into the game and released to the public is impossible...there I said it...voodoo so, do what I do and pretend to fly one or more of the 100 or so other excellent designs represented here...or not
  9. The NFL returns!

    See ya, bee-yotches...
  10. What do you Drive?

    Crusader wins...period...
  11. Great replica controllers

    they do not respond to emails either...so a business that does not want business is what?
  12. Google Chrome

    Firefox for me...besides I like the icon...and Firefox 3 is plenty fast. Still waiting for the day that Wal-mart and Google merge and decide to mine Mars....wait I think I saw that movie already...
  13. lies, damn lies, and statistics...

    check this out: One possible upshot: According to the Pew pollsters, "by a slight, but statistically significant margin -- 22% to 16% -- people say that recently they have a less rather than more favorable view of the putative Democratic nominee." I dont know about your world...but never has 22 - 16% been slight in anything...if only my stock portfolio would grow by such "slight" means...I may be rich... full article: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington...k-obamas-w.html
  14. absurd...unbiased?

    this is absurd...notice, if you will, the adjectives used on the Obama Campaign by the author http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/02/us/polit...02obama.html?em - the Obama campaign, a carefully controlled lot on the best of days, - Obama carefully addressed - his campaign’s formidable network - The muted response should not be taken, even campaign insiders acknowledged, to reflect high-mindedness Best one yet: - He is, after all, a candidate who has sought to transcend his own racial heritage in appealing to the broad electorate. Call this unbiased: - So he cues up Mr. McCain as “an honorable man” and a “war hero,” before skewering him as lacking in ideas.
  15. absurd...unbiased?

    one word: Ron Burgundy...and San Diego, which is German for Whale's ....
  16. unsettling...

    I like the point that there is no "prayer room" for Christians... http://www.wsmv.com/news/17063986/detail.html
  17. help me understand this one:

    "Now, 2 Obama backers, Bernie Mac and Morgan Freeman,hospitalized A bad day for Barack Obama donors." How does that qualify as a head line? Not "Two Famous Entertainers" or anything like that...Obama Backers"... Unbiased? Poop...
  18. absurd...unbiased?

    Jug, as always, makes a superb point(s)...top rope!
  19. Better than Top Gun

    whoa...more cool than Top Gun...you are wrong...period... bow down, mortal...
  20. fantastic! a little light reading: http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/bomber/b-1b.htm but then there is a B-1B expert at this forum...
  21. Obama, McCain and Hillary

    can we throw in Al Sharpton? I especially liked his presidential campaign a few years ago...like when he proposed that everyone get paid the same...no matter if surgeon or 7-Eleven worker...not even Communism is that dumb...
  22. yeah why this game doesnt have a deuce still surprises me...good luck!
  23. What Did You See Today?

    Kadena has quite hours from 2200 - 0600...and the Marines love nothing better than to come in at 2158 in that funky-slow land thing like a reverse ski jump...looks like the nozzles are 45 degrees and the approach is slower than a Cessna...and there are four of them, widely spaced...
  24. absurd...unbiased?

    I like the BBC...not that they are perfect, but at least it is fun for me to try to understand what language is that anyway?
  25. An odd place for it

    this is the best quote yet: "As long as it ain't going off, we're OK," he said. "And if it did, it wouldn't matter anyway."
