Shit...they deleted his posts. I liked the threat at the end. He'd probably slap me against the chest while screaming "You brute you brute!" like the sissies in that scene from Blazzing Saddles

WAFI, This jagoff doesn't know a thing about what's going on. I'm still trying to figure out why he called you a racist from your post
Typical liberal hate. Did you catch the irony in that (deleted) post where he says it isn't racist to vote for his guy

Like that has been a consideration on some of your posts.

I blame time zones. My posts are often an hour or so after some of the night's highlights in here.

If you don't buy that, then I blame sadism

Hot Meal
Two hobo's are walking down railroad tracks, haven't eaten in a couple days, and are starving. Ahead of them, lying on the tracks, is a dead buzzard....maggots crawling all over the badly decomposed bird...green flies swarming the stinking mass. Stopping to stare at the smelly thing, one hobo says, "Let's eat this bastard." The other hobo says, "Naw, I'm gonna wait and have a HOT meal." The first hobo replies, "Well, I'm too damned hungry to wait, I'm eatin' this fin' buzzard". The second hobo says, "Suit yourself, but I ain't waitin' on you", and starts down the tracks again. Ravenously, the first hobo begins stuffing the rotton bird into his mouth. After licking the last maggot from his lips, he looks down the tracks and sees his buddy....by now about a mile away... and takes off running to catch up. After running 10 minutes in the hot August sun, the hobo catches up to his buddy.....sweating...panting....stomach churning from the rotten buzzard he'd just eaten. Suddenly he begins to puke....every bit of the rotten buzzard is now laying in a putrid mass on the tracks. The second hobo smiles at the first hobo and says, "See?? I told you I was gonna wait for a HOT meal".

Thank you I'll be here all week...

I became confused when I heard the word "Service" used with these agencies:

Internal Revenue 'Service'
U.S. Postal 'Service'
Telephone 'Service'
Cable TV 'Service'
Civil 'Service'
State, City, County & Public 'Service'
Customer 'Service'

This is not what I thought 'Service' meant.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to 'Service' a few cows.

BAM!!! It all came into focus. Now I understand what all those agencies are doing to us.

This old man sees a 10 year old boy walking down a dusty country road with a roll of chicken wire. The old man asks "hey, whatcha got there?" The kid replies "chicken wire....I'm gonna go catch me some chickens". The old man scolds him...."kid, you can't catch chickens with chicken wire!" The kid just shrugs and walks off. Later that afternoon, the kids walks back the other way, with the roll of chicken wire unraveled and 25 chickens stuck to it.....the old man, slackjawed, stares in amazement.

The next day, the kid walks past the old man's house again. The old man says "whatcha got there kid?" The kid replies "Duck Tape....I'm gonna catch me some ducks!". The old man scolds him again...."It's not DUCK tape....it's DUCT tape....and you can't catch ducks with it!!" The kid just shrugs and walks off. Later that afternoon, the kid comes back.....the roll of tape unwound and 25 ducks stuck to it. Once again, .....the old man, slackjawed, stares in amazement.

The next day, the same kid walks past again....."Whatcha got there?" the old man yells out. "Pussywillow" replies the young man. The old screams "WAIT!! Let me get my hat....I'm comin' with ya!"

Looks like a CF member(s) whined about the thumbs up I gave the guy who did the DIY headlights gear swap video.



John, MR's campaign is asking what do we think about Condolenza Rice for VP. I say NO

What are your thoughts on that one?

###############################################################


OBAMA’S CASH FOR CLUNKERS DEAL
The person who calculated this bit of information is now, and has been a professor at the University of
West Virginia in Morgantown for the last forty some years.
He says that:
A clunker that travels 12,000 miles a year at 15 mpg uses 800 gallons of gas a year.
A new vehicle that travels 12,000 miles a year at 25 mpg uses 480 gallons of gas a year.
So, the average Cash for Clunkers transaction reduced gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.
The government claims 700,000 clunkers have been replaced so that is 224 million gallons saved per year.
That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil.
5 million barrels is about 5 hours worth of US consumption.
More importantly, 5 million barrels of oil at $70 per barrel costs about $350 million dollars.
So, the government paid $3 billion of our tax dollars to save $350 million.
They spent $8.57 for every $1.00 they saved.
I'm pretty sure they will do a much better job with our health care though.

And what of the pollution created by building the cars to replace the ones already on the road. bean counters can sway reports however they want. i cant afford to drop coin on a a new car so I end up spending more money each month to drive a car that saves a few gallons of gas use.
