I agree Shaggy it is a catastrophe. You can't put a member of the Miami Dolphins in front of me, Rudolph by the looks of it, who has publicly admitted to regularly using cocaine, call it a cat and expect me to believe you. Sooner or later the public is going to realise that there are a lot of blue/brown bloods pretending to be demo-cats in order to get their hands on as much power and do as much blow as they possibly can. Fortunately in a democracy the president works for the people not the other way around, so mush Oba mush!

The last time they tried that on me I asked for an analog (paper) voting slip, took my own pen instead of using the pencils they supply to prevent them using erasers in the counting room (there is no way they are getting my vote), and placed an F beside the relevant politicians names.

Your mental timing belt has jumped a few teeth. I can barely make any sense out of that last post, and what little I can make out is hard to understand. If it was meant as free-verse, then good show, you are ready for the Golden Chair.

Only for the doggies for which the last post was, no doubt, a real howler. After all of that effort to get his hands on the most amount of power available in the U.S and to then, at the end of the process, discover that he is still just working for the public and has not actually managed to take over the world or even a small part of it has to be a real anti climax. He recently said in relation to gun control that "I’ll use whatever power this office holds" which, as far as I can tell, and no matter how many Bruce Springsteen songs he plays in his office, transliterates as: "Miami's down, I need more power; where can I find more power?".

The age that I was talking about was age taylor, who was most likely far more identifiable on this part of the lake than was the King of Britain during the same interval.

I go away for a week and and return to... wow... just... just... wow.

WOW is an expression of surprise. Regular expressions can be used to succinctly define patterns of characters. Witis is a bit of a character. Ergo, we should be surprised by Witis.

WB FunkyDexter, I've got one for you: Kim Kardashian who is currently dating Kanye West. Let me know if you need a hint.

I neither want nor need one.

A hint about what, might I ask? If it is about either a Kardashian or Kanye West, then I have no iterest. If it is a hint unrelated to those two names, then it might be of interest.

What no takers???? I can't believe that there aren't any Trekky fans.
Kardashian is a homophone and variant of Cardassian, one of the extraterrestrial species in Star Trek.
Kanye West is an anagram of West Kenya.

"Cardassians tend to be predatory in nature, like wolves always seeking a dominant position in social gatherings."
"males take up military careers", "the scientific community is mostly female" [it's a bit of a drag]

"Cardassian society is often depicted as being Orwellian, with strict government control over information and violent force. Denizens are shown as having unquestioning obedience to authority due to the general lack of human rights, which provides a contrast to the personal protections of the Federation. For example, in Cardassian criminal trials the defendant is presumed guilty and in fact the punishment is already decided before the trial begins; the purpose of the trial (effectively a show trial) is merely to help the defendant acknowledge his wrongdoing. In Cardassian mystery novels, everyone is always guilty, the puzzle being to work out who is guilty of what."

"Cardassian literature often confounds humans, and vice versa. For example, humans see all Cardassian mystery stories as having an identical plot: the inevitable result is that all the suspects are eventually proved guilty of the crime and proving the supremacy of the state."
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardassian.

Kanye sounds like this; turn off the lights and turn it up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3af4Gz4Daw
The rapper in the intro has the stage name Ricky Ross which was derived from Ricky Ross the cocaine drug dealer, who, in 1996, was sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of trying to purchase more than 100 kilograms of Charlie Brown from a federal agent.

How you were not able to see the link between Kim and Kanye, especially after she announced at the end of 2012 that she is pregnant with the couple's first child, is beyond me.

I recommend you watch a 70s quiz show called 321. Your connections are only marginally les tenuous.

Even so the whole West Kenya Cardassian thing, i.e obviating human rights and thar she really blows, has serious night terror potential.
Moreover such an approach has even been tried by Charles Taylor, 22nd President of Liberia, who received a degree from Big Bentley College in the United States.

In 1983 Taylor was a government official (director of Liberia's General Services Administration) who was removed from his position and accused of of embezzling nearly a million dollars by the Samuel Doe Liberian government (21st President). After fleeing to the U.S he was arrested in 1984 and was held awaiting extradition to face charges in Liberia; instead he escaped in 1985 and made his way back to Africa and formed the National Patriotic Front of Liberia which invaded Liberia in 1989 birthing the country's first civil war which ultimately culminated in Doe's execution on September the 9th 1990. After Doe's execution Taylor was elected president in 1997 by intimidating the population into believing that he would continue the war unless he made it into office. Source: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/...Ghankay-Taylor

Once Charles Taylor was president he then proceeded to do quite a lot more Charlie Brown and tried to blow like a Cardassian.

For example he supported the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) in the Sierra Leone Civil War by selling them weapons for blood diamonds, assisting in the recruitment of child soldiers, and directing RUF RUF operations against civilians in Sierra Leone which left "many thousands dead or mutilated, with unknown numbers of people abducted and tortured".

In response the Special Court for Sierra Leone charged Charles Taylor with war crimes in March 2003 which led to Taylor's resignation on the 11th of August 2003. After resigning he left Liberia and moved to Nigeria; however, when Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the newly elected President of Liberia, had her extradition request acknowledged by Nigeria in March 2006 he tried escaping across the Nigerian border into Cameroon. He was arrested at the border in his Range Rover which was found to be full of cash and heroin, and sent to stand trial in the Hague.

At trial evidence emerged that Taylor had also ordered human sacrifices and cannibalism.

On the 26 April 2012 he was convicted of the following crimes:
- Acts of terrorism
- Murder
- Violence to life health and physical or mental well-being of persons, in particular murder
- Rape
- Pillage
- Conscripting or enlisting children under the age of 15 years into armed forces or groups, or using them to participate actively in hostilities
- Sexual slavery and any other form of sexual violence
- Enslavement
- Outrages upon personal dignity; Violence to life, health and physical or mental well-being of persons, in particular cruel treatment
- Other inhumane acts.

Taylor was sentenced to 50 years in prison for trying to do so many drugs in a country with a name meaning free haven (liber "free" + -ia "place").
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles...an_politician)

I have to add that 50 years immured in a maximum security lockup is almost always a fate worse than death, in case you thought that losing your head like Charles I was the worst that could happen to anyone.

How do you know?

I would try interviewing both groups after 50 years, but I hear that the executed group tends to be very uncooperative.

Today, the 3rd of February 2013, is Super Blow XLVII and the half time entertainment is being headlined by Queen bee Beyonce who likes to make music like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBmMU_iwe6U

She also recorded a song "03 Bonnie & Clyde" which featured Jay-Z: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=copiznIfV3E
Bonnie was Bonnie Elizabeth Parker, and Clyde was Clyde Chestnut Barrow the infamous outlaws of the great depression (which occurred after the stock market crash of October 29th, 1929). Their gang "is believed to have killed at least nine police officers and committed several civilian murders". Ironically the criminal duo were shot and killed in Louisiana by six officers of the law which is where the Super Bowl is being held today.

"Each of us six officers had a shotgun and an automatic rifle and pistols. We opened fire with the automatic rifles. They were emptied before the car got even with us. Then we used shotguns... There was smoke coming from the car, and it looked like it was on fire. After shooting the shotguns, we emptied the pistols at the car, which had passed us and ran into a ditch about 50 yards on down the road. It almost turned over. We kept shooting at the car even after it stopped. We weren't taking any chances."

Today, the 6th of February 2013, marks the 61th anniversary of the accession to the thrones of Queen Elizabeth II.
Can anyone tell me the middle name of the U.S singer who was briefly married to English born comedian Russell Brand, and released this song in May 2010 featuring Snoopy Dogg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F57P9C4SAW4
and this single featuring Kanye West which was released in February 2011: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5Sd5c4o9UM?

I see what ya did there

So now ya know she has heaps of brown blood running through her veins.

Also I bet you didn't know that the next track is a favourite of both Denzel Washington and John "Skully" Kerry, who was just appointed by Obama as the United States Secretary of State to replace Hillary Clinton in February of this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cuXasbjhT8

Of course it is quite well known that the aforementioned song was sponsored by KFC; official and favourite choice for all monarchiaphilic celebrations.

Can anyone tell me the name of the drummer whose name was printed on the drumstick at the start of the video?

You would have to read the whole thread right from the start; however, at the moment it is that Big Benjamin Netanyahu the current Prime Minister of Israel, Dr Graham Phillips the preeminent scientist on Australian Television (whose best work was arguably about monster black holes), and John Phillip Key the current prime minister of New Zealand actually prefer the Paul Rodgers collaboration to the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgQVu5dDN5I.

Of course: her black hole is such that she weighs a hell of a lot more than she looks, for example no man can physically lift her off the ground, and no matter how hard the chickens try they cannot escape her pull if they get too close. If given half a chance she will continue to absorb more and more chickens until she eventually turns into a super giant black hole millions and millions of times larger than her current size and weight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbLEA0AmfAw

I was following along for the first few posts, but then you seemed to jump the rails and start talking at random.

I couldn't help it, the queen fell off. Also, when the doctors put her on the scales and discovered that she weighed so many more times than other people of her size, they sewed all of her holes shut which included a gastroplasty (they also sewed up most of her stomach) and she has been losing weight ever since. After that the hens got very clucky just like when a wasp queen stops secreting the pheromones that causes all of the female wasps to become sterile so that they devote all of their energies into helping the queen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6liPc4O45o.

Well, if they tried to sew the black hole shut, why weren't the needles and threads sucked into it?

The instruments were fabricated out of tachyons, and I am very happy to say that all of the operations were an unreserved success, her holes are now shut, she has lost a lot of weight, and can now be lifted off the ground relatively easily. Chickens can now stand right next to her and completely avoid being accreted.

I'd never heard of the guy, but I was eventually curious about the "the brown" bit of that statement. As it turns out, I still don't understand it...or you for that matter. When you add quotations like that into a name, it suggests that it is some kind of nickname. However, I don't see where anybody calls him that, though there is a nickname listed for him. So, where did you get that? Also, why is every statement you started making linked back somehow to Peanuts, rightly, wrongly, or through misspelling?

The enjoyment is all about spotting monarchistic gray, brown and black holes trying their best to fool everyone into believing they are trustworthy in order to get their hands on as much power, do as much blow and accrete as many chickens and Oompa Loompas as they possibly can; or trying really really hard to pretend they are hilarious jolly rogers, when, in reality, they are nothing more than gigantic dinosaurs doing it only for the pun of it and, of course, to make awesome monster truck hash donuts while making a vroom vrooooom vocalisations the entire time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIPaxttP3a4.

In fact, WHY did you find out about the nickname? Do you routinely dig deeper into the bios of TV talking heads?

In Australia I read that the incumbent Labour government seems to be on the decline and as a result is likely to be replaced by a fellow by the name of Tony Abbott who is the leader of Liberal party in the elections currently scheduled to be held on the 14th of September 2013.

Tony is a well known Roman Catholic, having studied at St Patrick's Seminary in Manly New South Wales (one of the six Australian states), and "The Vatican is the only remaining absolute monarchy in Europe" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_City), making it entirely strange for him to be leading the Liberal party which 'is from Old French liberal, from Latin liberalis ("befitting a freeman"), from liber ("free")' (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/liberal).

Moreover the Christian vote in Australia has declined to an all time low of 61%:
In 1901 96.1% of the population were Christians
In 2001 68.0% of the population were Christians
In 2006 63.9% of the population were Christians (-4% over 5 years)
In 2011 61.1% of the population were Christians (-3% over 5 years)
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_australia

As a result secular voters are now the largest single voting group in Australia representing approximately 40% of the population.
Non Catholic Christians including Anglicans (religions that are not based on central control) represent 36% of the vote, and Catholics represent 24% of the vote.

As a result Tony Abbot looks like the latest brown blood attempting fool the public in order to get his filthy hands on as much democratic power as he possibly can. As a result the press labels "The Mad Abbot", "Abbotoir" and "Crossing the Rubicon" (as his deputy is Julie Bishop) seem more than apt. I'd like to suggest the additional epithet of "Crowny" to reflect the absolute monarchy that he really represents which is almost entirely covered by the name of the political party he has somehow managed to ascend and now lead.

I have also read some annecdotal reports that after studying at and graduating from the Queen's College, in Oxford Britain, he became an ardent fan of the single "I Want To Break The Free", finally adopting it as his unofficial campaign soundtrack!!

Apart from the obvious flaw in your arithmetic, isn't the whole point of secularism (if such a thing can be said to exist at all) total diversity and independence from all 'organised' or ad hoc faiths and factions (religious, political, social, sporting or otherwise). The whole idea of secular voters being considered a single group in anything would be total anathema to them!

By the way, you do realise that .....

Actually I didn't think to check other religions, which, as it turns out, account for 7% of the population (Buddhism (2.5%), Islam (2.2%), Hinduism (1.3%), Other religions (1.2%)), which is far more than I expected.

I used it to denote voters without any specific religion, for example see meaning 1 "not specifically religious" here: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/secular
Although secularism can be used to refer to the separation of state and church so that church doctrine does not influence the political process. See here for example: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/secularism

Not sure I agree, human rights are universal and inalienable only when they are upheld. For example criminals, such as those failing to uphold human rights, are sent to jail where they are deprived of their right to freedom.

There is nothing worse that threads that are 20+ pages long without any explications such as the one I provided in post #101!!

Although I don't use drugs in order to preserve my good health, what you just described almost certainly sums up the power source for all the black holes be they Lance Armstrong, Ben Johnson or Jay Leno!!!!
From blood doping to anabolic steroids for enhanced body performance to uppers such as Aderall, coffee and speed for enhanced mental performance I have no doubt the super massive black holes do it all!!!!!!

Why do TV comedians like Jay Leno put on makeup before going live?

It's so that they can powder their noses!

I guess it just depends on who you are rooting for!
