QWERTY was just designed to avoid typewriter jams I'll be honest with you, I think QWERTY's actually worked out better than ABCDetc. The fact that it's gimmicky means that if you type a lot (as 90% of the people under 30 do these days), then you actually get to know it better than if you just knew it from the start, because you develop reflexes or whatever. I think. o_O

OWNED We'll see if this prompts an even worse panic now. Spoiler! --Click here to view--POLITICS ALERTSpoiler! --Click here to view--It'll be interesting to see how this affects the presidential race. Taken honestly, it should back up Obama, since he's much closer to reality than McCain - but all McCain has to do is paint him as a "tax and spend liberal" and, no matter how much more realistic his balance sheet is, he'll lose support. God bless our naive little heartlanders.

Yeah, the second guy was the !@#$%^&*!@#$%^&*in - while flying in the balloon, he used the straw as a blowgun to kill the other dude (probably fired a dart designed to look like asparagus, with the poison supply disguised as water), but then right before guy #1 died, he stole the straw, and fired at the balloon to deflate it. Then the other guy threw the clothes (heavy winter stuff, even in the desert, because of al!@#$%^&*ude) overboard to try to keep it afloat, but it didn't work, and when they hit the ground, the shock knocked his weak heart (which had been damaged some years before in another assassination attempt) out of commission, resulting in his death. The original dart he used on guy #1 wasn't found because the cops weren't looking for a piece of asparagus dipped in water. SOLVED MYSTERY IMO

Pics or we can't continue the debate.

ASSS do not "pop out", there are 5 stages of mammary gland development.

I'm the male counterpart to those "really sweet girls". Audry: never fear, there are many men out there who aren't subconsciously considering your ASSS every time you try to have a serious conversation with them.

So you're telling me that all my platonic relationships of the past have now ceased to exist, a la Twilight Zone? I've known plenty of females over the years that I wouldn't have screwed even if they had stripped right in front of me, simply because neither of us had feelings in that direction, and it would've been pointless - even ignoring the obvious side effect of damaging the original relationship. Until you find me a book by Erich Fromm or B. F. Skinner backing that concept up, F you.

^^ Yehp. Read this 5 years ago somewhere, and it shows up in endless variations on Maddox's anti-female rants.

You'd know about that.

They were trying to fart into the straw, thereby pumping methane into the hot air balloon to help inflate it - but they accidentally poisoned themselves. Either that or the straw's for urethral sounding.

What a coincidence, the big fall festival here has its finale on October 3rd. Stop by, old chap. Will you celebrate the 5th anniversary by going on a hacking spree and getting netbanned and/or arrested?

Why, that lying liar. He implied an implication that I was foolish enough to swallow like a piece of salami on a hot summer's day. Spoiler! --Click here to view--Explicit, random, !@#$%^&* below.Spoiler! --Click here to view--I guess now they should just cut off the uninfected parts and start working on a !@#$%^&*oris and vagina for SRS, eh?

Do you have a template.sss file? Also, what he meant by "use" was "edit the .cfg, instead of using .set" - it takes a little getting used to, and it's annoying to have to wait for an update*, but it's worth it for the added convenience. *one time I spent an hour changing the same variable over and over, because it took 10+ minutes to update, and I didn't realize it was doing anything. Oh, the fun you can have with SS.

Maybe it's better he was a virgin, so he won't know what he's missing?

Reminds me of that burning sensation I get from fruit now, and which I attribute to a recently-developed allergy. Sucks.

Forgive me, Brainer, for I have sinned. I merely believed that, because of your insistence on context and getting the entire story, you might care to take the other half into consideration. Apparently you are not bothered by such petty distractions.

Brain, your version of the story would be somewhat more believable if we hadn't also heard her tell troops going to Iraq that they were on a mission to fight the people who caused 9/11. Face it, the woman is a far-right nutcase with dozens of advisers cranking out any justification they can think of for her idiotic comments.

Yeah, it is one of the many "code words" out there, much like "judicial activists" and "freedom of religion" carry special meanings to those "in the know." Having grown up in fundamentalist churches for my first 15 years, I would have to say it's things like this that disturb me the most. It's not even that. The fact that she carried out third-world-dictator style purges and nepotism in Alaska tells me that she's got big ambitions, and, what with her being the focus of the campaign now, I personally find it very likely that she will dominate McCain as much as Cheney dominated Bush. In fact, for the first time, I almost feel sorry for McCain - I still think he's changed into a lying arsehole, but he's far less of a lying arsehole than her.

Why did I read that post while I was eating lunch?

Bleh, so I've organized a list of real Sarah Palin facts. - Spent most of her time in her hometown, rather than Juneau - Skimmed money off the system using her children's names - Was involved in an Alaskan secessionist party * - Has religious views as far right as Buchanan or Pat Robertson - Has absolutely zero !@#$%^&*ing knowledge of the world at large - Is surrounded by Bush advisers (Neocon! Neocon! Neocon!) - Was obsessed with secrecy and loyal staffers during her term as governor, even hiring incompetent friends to $,000-per- year positions. - Has no trouble repeating the same bull!@#$%^&* lines over and over, even if they've been recognized as false for 2+ weeks. - Has dozens of conservatives playing dumb over the "Bush doctrine" that they explicitly supported a few years back, before they realized that sacrificing self-respect for a candidate was worth it. * Note that when you take this into account, and use it as your paradigm for examining Sarah Palin, everything makes a little more sense. The increased oil taxes for state revenue, the love affair with earmarks (but the desire to break free of total dependence on them), the ignorance of anything that doesn't directly involve her state - it seems to point in a it's-my-state-and-I'll-secede-if-I-want-to direction.

Have you ever played Frenetic Plus?

Mmmm, roasted rootbear!

No, what Polix posted was half of one side. He didn't post the attack dogs part, or the routine mental torture part, or the sleep deprivation part - all things that we (rightly) condemned as serious human rights abuses when done by the North Koreans or Vietnamese back in the day when we gave a !@#$%^&* about moral authority. I suppose there is something to be said for keeping illegal, permanent, no-appeal (if Bush had his way) prisons, though - especially since the rate of power abuse and arbitrary arrests has been going through the roof in recent years. Never mind the fact that such prisons are counterproductive in the extreme (if you even use them against "the enemy"), or that there have been virtually no cases throughout history where valuable and extremely important knowledge was gained via torture, for the simple reason that the most important people are also the most loyal people. Tell me again why picking up random guys on the Iraqi streets and putting them in prison for four years is in our interests?

I pity you. The news was clearly announced at the SSC Forum. But you weren't missed. Excuse me, but I have a long history of being the most unpopular guy on whatever forums I visit, and you're kind of disrupting that tradition by being a total !@#$%^&*. In other news, the forums are so boring now that I'm actually watching CSI: Miami while I type this. !@#$%^&*, I never thought I'd be this desperate.
