finally an organization i can donate to

I am rusing out right this moment to get my copies, I need to help.

This would be more significant if GGW didn't, y'know, totally f'n suck.

And not in a good way.

I don't know. The commercials are pretty good.

Not porn, but an incredible simulation.

Trust me, Ace. I wasted $20 on that crap once - never again.

I'm not a big fan of the GGW oeuvre, but don't they bring in some decent money? (Decent by sleazebag schlockmeister video merchant standards, I mean.) Anyway, it's a nice gesture, and I'm not going to snark on them for it.

And another thing: It's past noon on the East Coast, and there still hasn't been a single mention on this blog of International Talk Like a Pirate Day (today, that is). I can't believe that Ace, and even VonK, would let this slip by unnoticed.

Naaargh! I be feelin' like I marooned meself fer' not talkin' like a pirate fer the last several hours! Arrrgh!

Me thanks an a tip o' me hat to ya Utron fer pointin out the error of me ways!

Naargh!

Thanks folks, this will go a long way toward helping me... err... "shiver me timbers."

Hope (or something like it) springs eternal...

Looking to see whether your face was visible, Megan?

;-)

Heh. No, Dave, making sure yours wasn't. I'd never live that down.

Nyaargh, VonK, think nothin' of it. Just keepin' a weather eye on the addlepated blog holiday calendar fer all me shipmates...

Girls Gone Wild hurricane relief must be Slick's contribution to the Bush/Clinton fundraising effort.

Well, uh, um, if you're done with 'em, then, uh, well . . . I guess I haven't seen 'em.

My anti-rebuilding bias is well known in these parts, but even I can acknowledge that in the English language, there are few phrases greater than "Show us your tits!"

Seriously, *if* you can get over the social stigma attached to that phrase, it's incredibly versatile, able to be yelled in nearly any forum. And, not just for the purpose one would think, i.e. asking a woman to, in fact, show us all her tits. It's also handy for shutting women up in public.

Case in point: last year at a movie theater, a free preview for something or another, the woman from the radio station running the promo stood up to talk before the movie. . . and then wouldn't stop talking. Droning on and on and on, like how I'm doing right now.

Well, all it took was one strategically placed shout from the audience of "Shut up and show us your tits!" and her speech was concluded to applause all around.

Personally, I'm hoping to introduce this technique into the United States Congress. Something tells me it'll work miracles during a Feinstein speech.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

"Personally, I'm hoping to introduce this technique into the United States Congress. Something tells me it'll work miracles during a Feinstein speech."

If that actually happened the possibly that she actually might would scare the living hell out of me.

The possibility, too.

Ace, forum with ability to edit, goddamnit! What the fuck...

Hey, John Kerry was nice enough to give us a preview of his speech.

This is the Katrina administration... It has consistently squandered time, tax dollars, political capital, and even risked American lives on sideshow adventures: A war of choice in Iraq against someone who had nothing to do with 9/11; a full scale presidential assault on Social Security when everyone knows the real crisis is in health care - Medicare and Medicaid. And that's before you get to willful denial on global warming; avoidance on competitiveness; complicity in the loss and refusal of health care to millions... And amazingly -- or perhaps not given who we’re dealing with -- this massive reconstruction project will be overseen not by a team of experienced city planners or developers, but according to the New York Times, by the Chief of Politics in the White House and Republican Party, none other than Karl Rove -- barring of course that he is indicted for "outing" an undercover CIA intelligence officer.

That Karl Rove. . . he's *everywhere*!

Dave, please promise that you're not going to ask Karl Rove to show us his tits.

To tell you the truth, I can't think of anybody in American politics that I would want to see topless. A "no-flashing" pledge from every sitting politician would be as welcome as that "no nukes" pledge from the Norks, and probably a lot more credible.

What about like, almost every daughter of every president or candidate from the last 40 years?
You mean just officeholders, right?

(note: i stress *almost* every. Definitely not every.)

I make no recommendations or endorsements. Just passing on the tip.

Typo: you need to replace the 'p' at the end of the sentence with a 't'.
