Update from Drew Barrymore's bushes.

Shared a kudos bar with the Wizard.
Learned a few unknown facts about honeydews and nectarines.
Thought we saw Drew Barrymore behind some curtains but was mistaken, it was just the maid. Those were two exciting minutes as we readied our telescopic cameras for a shot of her, hopefully in the nude.
checked in at EVP. Annie and Daito still fighting. Over what exactly? No one remembers.
Watched as Argus placed a love note into her mail box while avoiding the two rottweilers that she brought home yesterday because she had thought she had seen something in the bushes.
Story developing.

Hmm... why am I not surprised at the turn of events here at EVP. 'twas expected.

Annie couldn't ignore Daito and Daito too hot headed to ignore Annie's carem shot (Zat whatchu callit?), went ballistic. What was I thinking to think that the two could ignore each other?

Yes I am banned. I'll join Argus in stalking Drew Barrymore from the bushes.

Thanks for proving my point for me Daito, right on cue.

Nice pic of your kid running away from you.. did she run when you pulled the belt?

I have to go take care of some things. See y'all later.

go fuck yourself.

The day I let some tempermental lunatic like you tell me what to think and do is the day I....wait, that will NEVER happen.

Get some help and MAYBE I'll see you later.

I wasn't in a bad mood. But I am indeed VERY concerned about my room mate's health as he spent all day at the Veteran's Hospital yesterday. We're afraid that MRSA infection has returned.

It's a very bad infection that can lay dormant for your entire life and just keeps coming back every time you get weakened or sickened a little bit.

I am worried about him to say the least.

I made one comment to you about being hard hearted - I said NOTHING about hatred nor did I speak badly to or about you. So what do you do? You go right back to your regular nasty shit and start dictating to me about how you don't want any "back and forth" (whatever that means).

I don't care what you want. I am not going back to how things were. I am not going to start out every day being confronted with your shit.

Dig your self and I suggest you don't reply to me either right now cause I do not want to hear diddly squat.

Be cool or be gone.

Oh wait... I forgot, it's serious reading, and that won't suit the righties. They depend on catchy slogans and empty phrases to resolve serious issues....

and we can see where that's taken us.

I can see ther RNC cooking up slogans now:

"Obama, Osama... what's the difference?"

"Rush and Cindy hooked on pills, but that black guy gives us the chills"

"Extend the pain, vote for McCain"

"I'd rather vote for a white guy who knows nothing, than a black guy who knows anything"

wake up in a bad mood again?

The keyboard marks will fade in a few minutes. Have some OJ and relax.

Daito

I meant - good one VJ.

Daito

shut up you little bastard.

on you. He is sitting at some janitor desk at MSNBC with a few other mail room and clean up people laughing at the way he can get your goofy mind to work.

'protect the elites'? 'Right wingers'? HAHAHAHHA

Who talks like that?

Good one 'JIM'.

Read this righties... and come back here ant tell us that America is on the right track.... I could use the laugh

I know.... some people just don't have the ability to think past their own selfish whims.

See Daito's response? Like most right wingers, he can't debate any of the facts... so he throw stones, just like a frustrated, mean spirited child would.


Banks are in danger of failing... they can't refute that... so they name call

We're n the biggest credit crisis since the great depression... they can't refute that either... so they name call


GW is a miserable failure... they can't refute that, so they name call

The right hasn't offered up one platform that benefits the working class.... so they bash those of us who notice that America is coming apart at the seams... as they support a guy who freely admits that he doesn't know shit about how the economy works.

To be honest, I'm surprised at how ignorant they are to what's going on. They are so far around the bend, they actually think everything is just fine and dandy and that America is n the right track.

Too bad about 85% of us see things differently.

Fear not Cathy, McCain will not be President. Obama will take him apart in the debates. Outside of McCain's "I was war hero" rant... he's got nothing... but a drug addcited felon for a wife.

Funny, considering how often people like Daito has based Anne for her past problems, they seem awfully forgiving of Cindy's.

But then again... they also think GW is a great President and they believe that Santa Jesus is watching uour every move from a golden chair way up in the clouds.

Liberals may be hypocrites, but conservatives are just flat out stupid.

Yes indeed, they sure know how to bring the dumb... just wait for Daito's next response. It should prove my point. Gee, I wonder what he'll call me next?

You aren't going to get through to them. They have been brainwashed to protect the elite at all costs.

They are like rabid guard dogs - who appreciate any scrape that their 'owners' throw to them.

is the only medicine for that disease you caught from JIM, or vice versa.

Daito

I myself never understood how the working class/blue collar, whatever could hold onto values that benefit the ultra rich.

Yes, people would like to be ultra rich someday, but until then look out for yourself and your way of life instead of some big fancy fat cat making millions. Change your politics when you hit the millions.

Its silly for a feller living in a trailer collecting food stamp assistance to hold onto ideals of tax relief for the those making millions, etc. And yes I reckon there are people who are just like that. Very poor and yet holding onto Conservative ideas about how the rich should be treated more fairly, whatever that means.

re Baby Jesus's resurrection and aloe vera

It was all just a fancee movie. Of course he never "died". Everyone just followed their lines and did their parts as was scripted in the screenplay written by Baby Jesus himself (He got the funding for this grand movie mostly from his cousin, the fancy big city lawyer, Lou C. Fer). His Dad didn't necessarily feel that mankind needed to be saved as he had a big BBQ planned for everyone so he didn't put in one cent into the funding and didn't bother to show up during the scene on the crucifix thus forsaking him.

Since Cousin Lou put in a lot of money and co-produced it, he had a few requests.
1) Make it so that the Jews look bad, so he could have a bit of fun later in mankind's history.
2)He wanted a part in the movie. He did the part where he is with Baby Jesus in the wilderness.
3) Cousin Lou wanted a big chariot race towards the end with Baby Jesus fighting off several Roman legions barehanded but that idea fell through when Cousin Lou was unable to persuade God to breach time and space to bring a martial arts/action choreographer from the future to choreograph the scene.

So now you know the secrets of the Greatest story ever told. I wouldn't go around blabbing these secrets if I were you, people would think you're crazy...

caricature now. You are just goofing on libs right? How could anyone take you seriously?

Daito

117 banks are in danger of failing this year alone, the FDIC barely has the money to cover them, we've got a credit crisis not seen since the 30's... and according to right wingers, everything is fine and dandy.

So much so, they want to continue spending money on a war we can't win, they want to continue give tax cuts to the rich, and give corporate welfare to companies moving jobs out of the country.

If McCain wins and doesn't make DRASTIC changes in the economy, (a topic he freely admits he knows nothing about) America will collapse before his term is up. Bank failures are no laughing matter and the tax money they need to be bailed can't come from the middle class, as it always has in the past... because the middle class is at a breaking point.

But who cares as long as Cheney and his pals personally make tens of millions of dollars off a war that's being paid for and fought by the working class, right?
Cheney should have every right to exploit the working class and sell out America, because he loves Jesus... is that it?

As long as the rich get richer and the working class struggles, right wingers are happier than a pig in shit.... and to think these greed mongers call themselves Christians.

Well, if that's what being a Christian is about... I say fuck them all. REAL Christians care about more than their own pocketbooks. How ANYONE can care more about helping the uber rich than the working class is beyond me... but then again, I have a soul.

Something the right wingers here haven't shown any sign of.

Can ONE of you right wingers point to a Repub platform that actually helps anyone but the rich?

about Ted Kennedy. He said something appropriate to their clan.

He stole this quote.

'Its sad when a great man dies, but its worse when the greatness dies before the man does.'

He was referring of course to the idea that Ted had outlived any potential he ever had, but his brothers were at their 'perceived' peak of power.

Ted Kennedy had any 'greatness' die decades ago. The shell of a lech that was left over far outlived its appeal.

cameras pan the audience at last nights speech, I bet there are 5% points that could swing toward McCain just because these goof kooks might push the wrong button in the voting booth. It looked like Haloween but scarier and instead of cute kids, there were ugly overweight adults waving their arms around.

minutes of the Dem Convention...end of Bill Clinton's speech {I have no idea who the heck he was talking about because the adnectives didn't point to O/Bama} and the only thing he and O'Bama have in common is their ability to get shady land deals.

Seen about two minutes of Sean Hannity attempting to interview the other Mickey D {Michael Dukakis} He would have gottn more answers from the clown that sells hamburgers rather than the clown who ran for president because Hannity asked Dukakis four or five times what O'Bama did, what his record is and all Dukakis could only say.."He was a great legislature and a great senator" Hannity asked again for specifics and poor Mickey D {who couldn't shine the real clowns oversized shoes} could only keep repeating how great O'Bama was as a legislator. One BTW who nobody can figure out what he did.

take your pick of the definitions below:

The name Excalibur came from Old French Excalibor, which came from Caliburn used in Geoffrey of Monmouth (Latin Caliburnus). There are also variant spellings such as Escalibor and Excaliber (the latter used in Howard Pyle's books for younger readers). One theory[who?] holds that Caliburn[us] comes from Caledfwlch, the original Welsh name for the sword, which is first mentioned in the Mabinogion. In Culhwch and Olwen and the Welsh Bruts, Arthur's sword is also called Caledfwlch (derived from caled, "battle, hard" + bwlch, "breach, gap, notch").[1] It is often considered to be related to the phonetically similar Caladbolg, a sword borne by several figures from Irish mythology, although a borrowing of Caledfwlch from Irish Caladbolg has been considered unlikely by Bromwich and Evans. They suggest instead that both names "may have similarly arisen at a very early date as generic names for a sword"; this sword then became exclusively the property of Arthur in the British tradition.[2]

Another theory states that "Caliburnus" is ultimately derived from Latin chalybs, a loanword from the Greek word for steel: χάλυψ, which is in turn derived from Chalybes, the name of an Anatolian ironworking tribe.[3] According to Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable by Ebenezer Cobham Brewer, Excalibur was originally derived from the Latin phrase Ex calce liberatus, "liberated from the stone". In Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, Excalibur is said to mean "cut-steel". Geoffrey of Monmouth calls Arthur's sword Caliburnus, a name which most Celticists consider to be derivative of a lost Old Welsh text in which bwlch had not yet been lenited to fwlch.[4] In early French sources this then became Escalibor, and finally the familiar Excalibur.

In her book The Ancient Secret, Lady Flavia Anderson postulates that "Excalibur" has a Greek origin, Ex-Kylie-Pyr or "out of a cup—fire". This corresponds to her thesis that the Holy Grail refers to those items used to draw down the Sun in order to make fire. Excalibur, she believed, was a "brand of light" and associated with Aaron's Rod. Just as only Aaron or Moses could make their rod "flower" (into flame), so only Arthur could pull Excalibur from the stone.

Bob Barr is the Libertarian candidate for president and he is NOT pro abortion. And why do you call it pro-choice when a woman has ignored all the choices she had and then hires someone to murder her offspring?

TGS

You pass judgement pretty quickly on people and when they respond, as I do, you get offeneded just as fast. I truly have no problems with you, but I don't appreciate this back and forth. If you want to play nice, then do so. If you want to pretend to play nice and then say I have 'hatred in my heart' or some bullshit like that, then you should expect I might have an issue with that. The book was never the issue, though certainly you and Cathy would benefit from reading it. (Not a goof. I mean that.)

saw a documentary about the Dead Sea Scrolls a few years back, well, quite a few years back - anyway, it seemed to approach the history of all from a totally different perspectice.

One thing which stood out to me was when the claim was made that Jesus was actually married to Mary Magdelene which is why she stood outside his tomb. They claim he did not die on the cross at all but was put unconscious by something the Roman soldier gave him to drink mixed with the vinegar and water in the sponge.

They said that vinegar was mixed with water back then and drunk much the way we drink lemonade todaay and was not the cruel gesture many depicted it to be on the part of the Roman soldier.

It is alleged that the next day, Jesus was revived with something like aloe vera and olive oil. He then went and spent the rest of his days at a sanctuary named "Heaven."

Is this actually true? Is everything in fact a whole nother ball game from what we've always thought and read in the bible?

I have no idea. I only know that at the end of this documentary it was said that when the rest of what is written in the Dead Sea Scrolls is finally revealed to everyone - it will put "the entire world's religious philosophy on its ear."

That isn't ver batum but pretty darn close.

Again, I am NOT saying any of these claims are true or factual. It was just a documentary I saw and I'm reporting to y'all on how it went.

I didn't say anything against your precious book. I said that you sometimes seem hard hearted. I wasn't saying that in reference to your book either.

So how does that translate into me wallowing in my own self pity?

Besides which, I don't need pity Daito - not from you or anybody including myself. I only desire understanding, empathy and for people to not judge me harshly or unfairly. I don't think that's so unreasonable.

on FOX of course, (JIM). Joe Biden is blabbing about his old leather bag mother who is STILL alive. Holy shit, she must be 150. Ayways they flash her face on the screen without a warning label and I nearly shit my pants thinking the grim reaper showed up in my living room. Then I look back and notice two great pair of legs behind this leather purse claiming to be a living relative of Biden.

Now see JIM, THATS why people watch FOX. They know how to turn the most boring story into a watchable event. Take a cue from these guys and maybe you can get your ratings out of the toilet.

Hunts Point the other night, and man what a snake pit. The restuarant had been touted a 4 star, but this place was full of ice freaks. They were everywhere, tending bar, waiting tables, busing dishes, while I noticed them all digging their faces and arms, with bloody, pus laden sores all over them. I suggested for my waiter to wear gloves, as I know an ice freak with their twirling, and not being able to crack a smile, and the restuarants are full of them.
Those parts are for nasty wo's who sneek around in cars with thongs running up their nasty asses. The bags even tried to hang onto my boyfriend soliciting themselves in front of me. I got pretty mad, in that I threw a cup of very hot coffee on this particular wo's back....did she howl. Prostitutes used to have more class than that, at least allowing a man's woman a little courtesy.

Is anyone into the illustrations and work of Beatrix Potter? I believe that she drew peter rabbit in 1845. She left all of her illustrations to SCHMID's and gave them the copyright to all of her work. Quite a rich woman I read, so maybe old money helps a lot when one is developing an artists career. Must be nice huh! I worked for M. Maretta making masks for 12 years in LA, was making nice money with good benefits and now the chinks have taken away our jobs, as if they can compete with real art.

IF YOU THINK EVERY LIFE IS SACRED TAKE A TRIP TO SOUTH FLORIDA. TRUST ME, MOST OF THESE PEOPLE LIVE WORTHLESS LIVES AND WOULD BE BETTER OFF DEAD. OR AT LEAST THE REST OF US WOULD BE BETTER OFF IF THEY WERE DEAD.

I am voting either Libertarian or Constitution Party.

Didn't you know those Libertarians are pro-choice? . . . they believe in total liberty, including liberty to have abortions . . .
