It is healthy to alternate topics in post race, keep the conversation current with whats going on in the world. Although some people are wayyy to direct with their opinions
Not sure Watt you are getting at. Are you plugging the power companies?
Well, Hells Bells! I almost missed those AC/DC puns!
Watched "The Help" last night. Best film I've seen in years.
The Help had it's funny parts, but I didn't care for it overall. My wife on the other hand loved it which naturally means that publically, I do too.
Obama blamed for Kingsport counterfeiting
We need a facepalm smilie.
I though that the picture of Pamela Downs was a picture of the author. I was thinking "ohh God, she wrote this?!"
At least she was not a prince from Nigeria.
How do you know she's not? Perhaps she could just print up something about that.
The latest chapter in the continuing adventures of Akron man...
Akron man accused of stealing $20 worth of feminine hygiene products at knifepoint
No sign of the Akron man who was pooping on (and in) automobiles. He's kept a low profile since someone caught him in the act by using a motion-activated wildlife camera.
Did he put his best face forwards in that film?
I am having some tough sinus problems today(and yesterday for that matter) but I went to a sinus pressure point website and applied pressure in 6 points that they showed and I feel a lot better! My headache is not completely gone, but it is better.

I think that he can remove the "Use a humidifier" option. Unless Louisiana is a whole lot different than I remember, any additional humidity will result in rain.
Today is the 100th anniversary of the Order of the Arrow.
Never heard of them (It).
It is a service organization inside of the Boy Scouts of America.
It is unique in that it is the only organization where members are elected by non-members.
What happens is a young man will be in a Boy Scout troop, once he reaches the rank of First Class he is eligible to be nominated for the Order of the Arrow. The Boy Scout troop will typically hold a meeting once or twice a year where they vote on nominating people in their troop to the Order of the Arrow.
Once the young man is nominated, he goes through an ordeal where, upon completion, he becomes a member of that particular Order of the Arrow lodge.
When I was in Boy Scouts my troop voted once a year, the week prior to summer camp. This is because the Order of the Arrow for our lodge holds an ordeal after summer camp and on the last day of summer camp they will hold a ceremony showing who all within all the troops that nominated scouts will be participating in the upcoming ordeal.
I made some life long friends within the Order of the Arrow and it became a huge part of my life.
It saddens me because membership in the Boy Scouts has fallen quite drastically which in turn so has the membership in the Order of the Arrow.
But you always have TV shows that make parodies.
That was the Order of the Straight Arrow episode of King of the Hill.
I admit my first thought was: "Does DC comics know about this?"
I never had the privilege of joining the boy scouts.
I think my dad (not a boy scout) thought we were woodsy enough. :)
I don't think the other benefits of the club crossed his mind.
As an adult I can see how getting children involved in the community was/is important for both the young and the community as are rites of passage.
Growng up my understanding of a talking stick was: beat em with a stick til they listen.
For my eagle scout project, I consider myself very lucky because Hurricane Rita came and destroyed so much. So what I did was organize a clean up of a cemetery that my dad is the president of, Big Woods Cemetery. We had over 700 people and tons of equipment. It took us only a week to clear the cemetery and at the time, was the largest eagle scout project done in Louisiana.
Big Woods Cemetery is also the oldest cemetery in Louisiana.
People are dying to get in, huh. :)
Seriously though good on you. You don't see that sort of thing as much these days.
Ok, that particular statement has so many ways to poke fun at it that it's hard to know where to start.Quote:

When he wants to pass a new measure, does he ask for a show of hands?
He better not hold a lottery, it would be a dead giveaway.
I realize that it must be a grave responsibility, but I hope he's not waiting for a standing ovation. After all, I'm sure there's a stiff entry fee.
Ah, too bad. It pushed onto a new page.
I'm re-coding my expression evaluator to be more efficient and boy it is looking good!
