  • Maybe he didn't leave out Heinz ketchup - x;-) personally, it's the only kind I'll eat because it's the only kind on the market that tastes halfway decent.
  • We tried saying "tort reform" in Oregon on Nov. 2, but the liberal democrats all choked on the words.
  • >It was meant as a >compliment to the lawyers,not a blasphemy. Isn't "lawyer" synonymous with blasphemy? x;-)
  • x:-8 Oops. Got my Henrys mixed up.... sorry... In my defense, I will say that college Shakespeare was a looooong time ago... (kids still played dodgeball, it was so long ago).
  • You gotta be kiddin' me, Mwild! How asinine! Kids fall down. Kids break things. Excrement happens! As Henry VIII said, "First thing, let's kill all the lawyers."
  • Living in the nation's capital of salmon and other seacreatures (not to mention the home of that market where people throw fish at each other and call it a management tool), I'm kind of surprised you don't like fish, Mwild. x;-)
  • Very punny. x;-)
  • Geez, Ray, you come back after being off the forum for awhile and a fish post is the best you can come up with? x;-) Mythbusters actually did an experiment to prove or dispel the myth that goldfish only have a 3-second memory capacity. Lo and beho…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-17-04 AT 11:46AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I remember having a discussion recently with a young mother (in her mid-20s) talking about playgrounds. I explained the concept of monkey bars to her - she was ho…
  • Didn't see it, but PBS is also running a piece (perhaps the same one as MSNBC?) tomorrow night on Wal-Mart. The upshot I got from seeing the promos is that Wal-Mart has replaced the high-wage, high-value-jobs economy of the past with a low-wage, lo…
  • I'm disappointed that I missed the previously-unreleased video of The Beatles. Would like to have seen that. Other than that, I didn't really pay any attention.
  • The very same. Hey, this company is nothing if not entertaining from time to time. With some of the odd characters around here, I have my screenplay half-written already. Update re the heater meals: Unanimously rejected for guest consumption by …
  • Okay, well, no surprise here - it's not that appetizing. I just tried the three-cheese lasagna; it's very bland and needs substantial amounts of salt, pepper and Mrs. Dash - and maybe some ketchup, mustard, hot sauce.... x;-) The little heating el…
  • Actually, I just poured water on the "heating element" and stuffed everything back in the box like you're supposed to. It's a little unnerving to see steam eminating from the box sitting on my desk, and it's actually getting hot to the touch. I'll…
  • Very true. But, that issue aside, let's say it's not the middle of the night and you're just lazy. Would you spend $6?
  • Could be worse, Mwild. The wife of one of my coworkers throws "parties" at which, uh, well, let's say the products are "for mature audiences only" (and no, I don't mean they sell Geritol). I dread when he brings his wife to a corporate function be…
  • No, no ID. It's all by mail. Once they have your signed registration card and ID on file, they just compare the signature on the ballot envelope to the one on file and voila! You've voted.
  • That's what I love about Oregon. Vote by mail. Haven't stood in line at a polling place since 1980. x:-)
  • Sorry, Rad. Didn't mean to upset you. x:-( Stay in touch. Keep your chin up, your powder dry and your Dr. Scholl's handy. x;-)
  • You deserve a great weekend, Rad. Hope you have a good time (wear comfortable shoes). x;-) You're definitely going to be missed around here. x:-(
  • My prediction: Either Bush or Kerry will win, either decisively or indecisively, and in any event there will be lawyers, lawyers and more lawyers screaming "lawsuit," the Portland Republican Campaign Headquarters will be torched(because they're tir…
  • Guess I should have been more specific. It also stands for American Bar Association. x;-)
  • Clinton has made it known he wants to become Secretary General of the United Nations when Koffi Anan's term is up in 2006. He would be the first American ever to hold the position. Personally, I think he's more likely to get the United Nations pos…
  • If you have enough safeguards built into your system, you can minimize the potential for corruption and error - not eliminate it, but minimize it. For example, we don't use "punch card" ballots - a simple number 2 pencil coloring in a little oval…
  • Oregon has vote-by-mail, and the genesis of the concept was that fewer and fewer people were going to the polls and opting instead to apply for absentee ballots, which they then mailed in. Finally, an initiative petition got enough signatures to pu…
  • You been smoking your lunch again, Nat'l Guard? x;-) I assume that was sarcasm? x;-)
  • MSN had that same type of site active just a few months ago. I took the quiz and it said I was hopelessly undecided and if I voted it would devalue the gene pool. x;-)
  • "They'll never get it. sigh." Only because men have a difficult time understanding illogical concepts, Sam. x;-)
  • Be ready for s moll and rad to come down on you like a ton of bricks over the "you have too many shoes" rule... x:-)
  • "We would stop at a nearby gas station or country store and inquire if someone would not be willing to place our truck several miles away at our take out. Friends who knew what we were doing thougt we were crazy. What makes you think that cracker wo…
