#42  DF - changed careers? That 'splains it. Hope it was, from your POV, a Good Thing and you're really back, now. :-)

#41  Well, I gots a thought thingy that's been bouncing around inside my skull on that topic... lemme put it this way, wxj:

Diktaters can move fast. If they see a weakness (read: open society) and have the cash to exploit it, they can turn on a dime.

Democracies are a mob, screeching at cross purposes and for their piece o' pie. Yoga and yogurt for all, a piss in every pot. Only when they are jolted out of their comfortable continuum will they all go, "Huh?" at once and synchronize heartbeats... such as a nuke or whatever on home soil. The Squirrel in Charge had better take advantage of that moment, seize it by the throat, and make some moves fasssst - cuz it won't last. They have the attention span of the Mayfly. They will revert to navel-gazing and bickering and blame games.

See you on the other side of the Apocalypse.

#39  How goes it?

Me? Change of careers.

#38  So, slow news day, no ?
I guess Rumsfeld resigned, and dot com is his replacement. (rim shot)
Seriously though, if you list all of the countries involved in what has taken place in WW3 since 9/11, and add up their (our) gains and loses, civilization is down, and mother Islam is up.
We wait to react and shoot or bomb and take out a few or a score, but every second that passes, Islam gains. A school here, a neighborhood there, a murder, a bombing, a street corner, little by little Islam wins while we wait for real solid leadership.
I'll bet there's more conversions to Islam than all other religions together, and we won't even debate that it may not be a religion. Shit, don't want to offend anyone, except, the Branch Davidions maybe. We could kill every last one of 'em, 'cause they were just a small flock. Not that they ever did anything to anyone, like mother Islam, but who's counting ?
I hope it don't end this way, just sittin here wondering if anyone out there gets it. That's when you know there's no leadership, when you don't quite know where to turn.
Pleasant dreams.

#35  Well, I waited an hour. Nuthin. Abu Jibjab is silent.

This is something I've said before: Skeerabs are the best dhimmis of all. Unless related to the Royals or Turbans or Diktaters than run their glorious shithole, they do not fuck with what they perceive as power. They've been conditioned to it. They get it. They live vicariously through their betters. They follow. They do what they're told - and like it. They march around in leetle tiny circles cuz some zoomer in a Tight Turban Tells Them To.

Baaaaa.

Looks like Abu Jibjab really is a UAE sheeple. Baaaaa.

Had he gotten all pissy, then we would know he was some Stockhold Syndrome ExPat dickhead working there.

Of course, now that I've said this - anything that comes outta ol' Abu afterwards is tainted, lol.

Baaaaa Bye.

Go to this post, second paragraph. Read and heed. We perma-pooplisted one clown today for rampant nym-hopping, and we'll probably be doing more of it. Fair warning.

#27  I'm sorry: As far as 'celebs' go, I would land on Paris without an exit strategy.

Like the angry fist of God.

I guess that makes me a pervert of some sort, but I'm okay with that.

#24  Re Dan: correct. He could tell us but then he'd have to kill us all.

Yikes. Too true. Looks like she's worn a hole in 'em at the knee.

#20  I guess Dan's gainful employment includes security clearance that prevents him from communicating with the citizens of the 'Burg (and greater net) now?

#19  Congrats .com, I welcome you as my new overlord. Well, maybe not overlord, but sinktrap sargeant at the very least.

#13  She is vaguely reminiscent of Yellow Submarine, some apropriately allocated round windows may improve the dress.

#9  not with us Ranburgers

I know she's not dead, silly. It sounds like she went over to Al-qaeda or something :-(

#6  Phineter Thraviger1073, get yourself a proper nic. Then work on your snarkiness levels during the monotony of bottlewashing. Kidding...moderator has to be capable of moderating, snarkiness is just the fringe, yet important, ability.

Dunno, haven't seen a moderator application posted, so it must be some other procedure.

#5  Looks pretty deep to me, badanov. (How'd the minimum wage bottle washer sneak in?)

#2  Slereper Ulosing9249, not with us Ranburgers, no "no longer with us" as it is used in obits. Otherwise wishing well would be not entirely fitting.
Posted by: twobyfour   2006-11-20 00:41  

#1  Lotp (sea-foam green) is no longer with us

That doesn't sound right.
