One year ago today, President Passion Fingers and his faithful minion Joe “Hair Plugs” Biden announced Recovery Summer to great fanfare.
One year and a trillion dollars later, has anything substantial actually changed?
Other than our debt?

#129 Fat Albert: OUTSTANDING!
Dang it! I think I got something in my eye.
#129 – Simply outSTANDING!
*sniffle*
FA, I don’t know if that struck me the way it did because I’m up before my boy and his friend, waiting to see them off to Summer camp, or if it would have had the same effect anyway. But as to this: If you are a father and can read this without weeping, you’re a lot better father than… Read more »
I’ll probably post this again tomorrow – it’s that good.
If you are a father and can read this without weeping, you’re a lot better father than I am.
G’night Hamsters. Not sure if spouse is up to armadillo patrol tonight. He’s had a long day. Maybe we can con Mariposa into keeping watch and alerting us if one shows up. Not likely, sigh.

OK to HE!! with block qoutes!
Dave, my friend:
what you want to mark, and then put
the end of it.

Is it QE3 yet?
The cruise ship?
Gars are worth this much? http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7614483.html I know where some of the 8′ fish still swim. I wonder, after this article, how much longer they will be there. That they are such easy bow fishing targets is my guess on the decline. They are supposed to be excellent fare. Never tried one, cut the back open and remove the ‘backstraps’… Read more »

Very good. The best 7 bucks you could ever spend on your life.
#121 – I believe QE3 may be a reference to the next massive BAILOUT
The cruise ship?

Since you had the book linked up for me on Amazon, I went ahead and ordered it.
It seems to me that everyone who commented (in sufficient detail) saw something different in the Dream commercial.
Is it QE3 yet?
#117 Tedtam,….GET A ROPE!!! 👿
Now that her face is on the internet, I hope she gets banned from any future games.
What a wiss.
#108 mharper42 To answer your question: Each one of us, every human being, as demonstrated in the video, has a reason to live. It is the both the subject of and product of our will, the will to live, that is. I read this book 15 years ago and it was one of a handful that changed my life. Man’s… Read more »
A second and serious reason for not picking up and smooching armadillos is they also can carry rabies. 🙁
mharper #112;
Obviously they had something special to relive. also, in my view, if living means to always get checkups and to take your pills, what’s it worth living? At times it’s better to live for something than to just live.
That’s my take.
IRS Accidentally Deposits $110,000 in Man’s Bank Account, Then Arrests Him! Los Angeles prosecutors say the man failed to notify authorities of the error and charged him with one felony count of grand theft by misappropriation of lost property. The man could face up to four years in jail if convicted. The man offered to return to the woman the… Read more »
Is that it? Man, I would not want to relive a lot of my youth. If I had it all to do over, there would be a lot of changes.

I think you just answered your own question.
Rosalina Gonzales had pleaded guilty to a felony charge of injury to a child for what prosecutors had described as a “pretty simple, straightforward spanking case.” They noted she didn’t use a belt or leave any bruises, just some red marks. The federal government rides again to the rescue…NOT. “You don’t spank children today,” said Judge Jose Longoria. “In the… Read more »

S’okay, you won it fair and square!
/(Scum can’t help bein’ scum… Harrummph.)
#93 Texpat
I enjoyed the unusual commercial, but I don’t understand what the dream is. One guy with a picture of a woman, another guy with a picture of a man. So they are reliving a bit of their youth on the motorcycle road trip. But what is the dream?
That’s right, last month I learned it’ll be on the 19th of june.
Is Father’s Day coming up? Yikes, I didn’t know.

And after you tried to give he a heads up yesterday. I am man. I am scum. 🙁

Cool, COOL, COOL commercial, Texpat.
#93 – Great Catch Seenyore Texpat!
That vid was widely enjoyed on multiple motorcycle boards I frequent – not everyone understands WHY dogs MUST hang their heads out of the windows of moving automobiles the way we 2-wheeled addicts do…………………
Dang it.
And 100

SHOCKER!

Too awesome. Too, too awesome.
#93 Texpat Man that was great! And “One of the best commercials I have ever seen.”
is an understatement my friend!
A gift for Hamous. What is Science? Put most simply, science is a way of dealing with the world around us. It is a way of baffling the uninitiated with incomprehensible jargon. It is a way of obtaining fat government grants. It is a way of achieving mastery over the physical world by threatening it with destruction. Science represents mankind’s… Read more »

Machu Pichu at age 80.
That’s pretty damn inspiring.
I removed that from the bucket list five years ago.
I’m down to hoping I can survive a round trip to Jersey to give Texpat a piece of my mind.
Happy Fathers Day, you worthless bunch of reprobates.

One of the best commercials I have ever seen.

Not disgust, befuddlement. Am I being associated with the Head-Shaker dude some way?
He rarely posts but I like his avatar because he looks like a secret agent.
#64 Hammy I’d think twice before I let one of the little boogers crawl up in my bed. Well, my friend is still alive and kicking at age 82. She did not get leprosy from her son’s pet armadillo all those years ago. She attempted Mount Everest in her 70s but did not reach the summit. She visited Machu Pichu… Read more »

#83 No, they’re just guilty of idiocy and I’d rather not tempt them over. I don’t suffer fools gladly.
The full moon insanity is an interesting one.
