grue

I'm a non-smoker, and I think it's a disgusting habit. However, I do not support this sort of legislation, at least in the US. It's not the government's job to tell people what they may or may not do with their own bodies on private property and places of business. If a business owner wants to have a nonsmoking business, he can do it himself. In a police state like England? I'm less surprised to see laws like this. It also makes sense anywhere that the government foots the bill for health care. Another reason I never have and never will support governmental health care in the US, it just gives them another reason to say what you may or may not do. cavete terrae.

Give in to deliciousness, fools. You'll need: http://spiceweasel.net/keylimepie/pie-01.jpg A pie tin Eight eggs Butter 7-8 decent-sized limes. Get real key limes if you can, for authenticity. I'm not rich, so I can't :( Two cans of condensed sweetened milk (14oz / 400g) 16-18 graham crackers, crushed (not pictured) 3-ish tablespoons of sugar (not pictured) A cheese grater (not pictured) A whisk (not pictured) http://spiceweasel.net/keylimepie/pie-02.jpg Using the smallest holes on the grater, grate off the skin of the lime until you have about two tablespoons of zest. At this point, slice the limes and juice them until you have 1 full cup of lime juice. http://spiceweasel.net/keylimepie/pie-03.jpg Add eight egg yolks http://spiceweasel.net/keylimepie/pie-04.jpg Beat them together, then beat in the milk, then the lime juice. Let this concoction sit at room temperature. http://spiceweasel.net/keylimepie/pie-05.jpg Next, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. http://spiceweasel.net/keylimepie/pie-06.jpg Take the butter, add in the graham crackers with the sugar, and mix well. http://spiceweasel.net/keylimepie/pie-07.jpg Mold the mixture to the bottom and sides of your pie pan. Using the bottom of a measuring cup is a good way to get the bottom flat. Bake the crust at about 350°F / 180° C for, oh, 10 minutes or so. Pull it out, let it cool for a few minutes, and pour in the filling, and throw it back in the oven for another 10-12 minutes. Pull it out, let it cool to room temp, then throw in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours. http://spiceweasel.net/keylimepie/pie-08.jpg Put on whipped cream if you want, and enjoy cavete terrae.

Someone can shoot you 8 times in the lower leg with a .50 round and I bet you won't die Good grief, if someone shot your leg eight times with a .50-cal, you might not have a leg left!!! The femural-arterial-bleed will let you live for 4, maybe 5 minutes... Actually the femoral doesn't go to the lower leg, which is why I chose that. I was exaggerating, but I'm just trying to make the point that 8 shots to certain parts of the body would be survivable under the right circumstances. cavete terrae.

Oh I don't think I'll be repeating it cavete terrae.

So . . . how was jail? Better than, say, Kentucky cavete terrae.

not the pope himself, one of the regional priests Personal attack, followed by a graphic explanation of how I thought a portion of the recipient's life should have gone. cavete terrae.

I was on enforced vacation for a week cavete terrae.

You fuckers miss me? cavete terrae.

Cute story, but not particularly on-the-point. When I call someone a dumb motherfucker, do I really believe he has sex with his mother? No. Just an expression. When Jewish people say "jesus fucking christ!", are they calling for help from the zombie overlord of the christians? No. cavete terrae.

I'd agree with that. Probably the reason that, while I'm a hardcore atheist, I will still say "god dammit" or "jesus fucking christ", it's a learned behaviour. I'm trying to break that habit and find something funnier to use. cavete terrae.

The only part of this article I have a problem with: "Right now, the right wing think tanks are probably buzzing like a hornets nest. " While it's probably true, it's a little misleading and makes him sound like a left wing person. The whole one-dimensional scale is flawed anyway, but if we're forced to use it, it should mention they're freaking out because he's TRULY on the right. cavete terrae.

Hm, I tried to post this before but it's not here, so I guess it didn't take (or it got deleted??) In any case, why should it be illegal for a healthy, well-informed person to sell a kidney, or bone marrow, or whatever to the highest bidder? After all, it's his kidney or bone marrow or whatever. There's obviously demand, the person wants to supply. I don't personally see a problem with this. cavete terrae.

Perhaps if the silly outdated monarchy crap wasn't still being used, this wouldn't be an issue. Then again, it's a safe bet nobody high in the American government has any relatives near combat, either. cavete terrae.

I wanna know why you kids don't just wear a wetsuit or something cavete terrae.

Oh for fuck's sake. It's laziness, greed and stupidity that keeps where they are. The supply of oil isn't the problem, it's the fact that the left of the bellcurve NIMBY moron crew doesn't want new refineries built, and somehow efforts to build 'em anyway "somehow" get blocked. Even if the supply of oil was the problem, I seem to recall there being significant amounts of oil in non-OPEC countries… namely the US. cavete terrae.

Mixed feelings here, too. But here's an "I just woke up, I'm still in bed, so don't expect a perfect idea" option: I'd prefer to see nonviolent drug offenders released from prison, which would dramatically lower the amount of people locked up. Government can legalize all drugs for use in the home by persons over 18, and tax the products like they do with alcohol or tobacco. Then use the revenue from this to buy food to feed the inmates who have a REASON for being in prison. Elimination of the DEA (not to mention other worthless parts of the government, namely "most of it") would allow an income tax cut, too. Of course Adolph Foods et al will lose a bit of business because of the lower prison population, but I think they'd survive that. cavete terrae.

So does a gang bang squad with silk ropes. cavete terrae.

Honestly? He can probably get nominated if he gets enough votes in the primary, but he is a huge threat to a lot of powerful groups and people, so they'll be doing anything they can to discredit him. cavete terrae.

I am very much in favour of drug legalization (all of them) for persons over the age of 18, but there is zero justification for this guy not to be getting charged. cavete terrae.

But of course, the whole "pick and choose to suit your needs" approach that so many people do means only the ones she likes apply. Hypocrites make me ill. cavete terrae.

anything except those baggy granny panties. cavete terrae.

Sometimes, when I have a particularly bad runny nose, I wonder "What if this was cerebrospinal fluid?" That'd be pretty bad. cavete terrae.

I guess this is my biennial cold I'm kinda tempted to stuck my nose in a vacuum cleaner to see if it'll suck all the snot out. cavete terrae.
