So she hates amendment XIV, clause 1?  Does she realize that she, too, would lose her citizenship?

Interesting.  I wonder what this country would be like if people actually read the constitution.   :lulz:

I really want to ask..... but not if you have to kill me after....... :evil:

All I did was nut punt the clerk and try to feed him the contents of a 2 liter bottle of coke.

It was just one of those nights, you know?  And everyone's making a big deal about it. 
You jerk, us clerks get nut punted on an almost weekly basis, why do you think we all look like souless drones who's emotion centres are now filled with bile, dealing with the public RUINS people.
Now if you had mercy killed him I could accept that, but torturing a rotten cabbage is just mean.

Arguably, I had no choice.

I WILL DIE WITH HONOR WHEN THAT DAY COMES.

Actually, it usually means you get shot from behind and tossed in a dumpster.

QuoteDOING IT WRONG.

Tucson averaged 4609 violent crimes per year.  Then in 2009, it dropped by 43%.  Not because we changed, or the police became more efficient, or anything, but because they stopped counting the greater Tucson area, and only counted the metro area itself.

Which, incidentally, is 57% of the population.

QuoteWhen I go to Tuscon someday, I'm staying less than 2 ft from Padre Dolor the whole time.


I think I'll just stay away from Tuscon in general.

That's okay.  Sometimes Tucson comes to you.

You guys are all missing the point.

The Teabaggers are discovering the fun of loud & angry know-nothingism.  That's happened before.  Hilarity ensued.

As in 1950's McCarthyist hilarity or some other kind?



Thinking about 20 years earlier, overseas.

It requires sacrifice.  When was the last time a proper rock star had OD'ed on something unspeakable or choked on their own vomit?

INXS DOESN'T COUNT!   :argh!:

What's funny is, that tired catchphrase - rock'n'roll will never die - is true.  It's a spirit of defiance and hubris, and it has it's mandate.  It needs no approval.

"Rock 'n Roll is the most brutal, ugly, desperate, vicious form of expression it has been my misfortune to hear."
-Frank Sinatra

Well Frank, up your ass.  Rock'n'Roll is God.

Hell, yeah.  But it's become a little neutered, like a statue of Mithras tucked away and forgotten in the back of a Catholic shrine in middle ages France.

Born without Rock and Roll??
Rock and Roll isn't just Music! That's just the acceptable face of the noise it makes. Rock and Roll is the growling, snarling beast inside that wont lie down. The dying breath of the last righteous cowboy, as he's gunned down by the posse. The restless spirits of all those men who knew what life was worth, before they died. Hendrix knew. Janis too. It's the joy that you might have to die for. It's the voice that dares to say no I will not give up my integrity, when they wave a cheque for a million quid under your nose. It's the head, cracked by a Police baton at a picket line, the dissident, locked in some third world hell hole dungeon. Joan of Arc was Rock and Roll. Joshua Norton was Rock and Roll. Tupac was Rock and Roll. Zappa too.  Lord Byron, was Rock and Roll.
The fly in the ointment of convention. If you want to find "Rock and Roll, you'll have to look as well as listen. And look in some unexpected places too. None of them "Graceland". It's not dead, or lost, until the last breath, of the last man, who ever had a dream he gave up. You can't kill something like that. But you can always find it if you look in the right places.

THIS.  FOR FUCK'S SAKE, THIS.

They can emulate it all they want; they'll still be backpedaling like motherfuckers when the shit hits the fan in AZ, which it will.

You're assuming things will get better.  Or that the horrible old racists in Phoenix will allow silly little things like the collapse of our economy or world-wide scorn to influence them.

Funny thing:  Right now, many Americans are kind of ashamed of Arizona, and sort of wish it was in another country...But the way they view Arizona is the way much of the rest of the world views America as a whole.

Oh, I KNOW things will get better... and by "better" I mean unfathomably worse.

If I was a cop in Arizona right now, I would be pulling white people over left and right, demanding their passports or birth certificates. I would fucking hang out near a school and take mothers to jail for transporting kids who "might be aliens" without documentation. I'd hang out near the capitol building and detain fucking politicians if they weren't packing their papers. Also, whatever the paperwork is to get a teacher fired for having an accent, I would be filling it out on anyone with any kind of regional US accent. Use the system to make it eat itself. Why this is not already happening left and right is beyond me.

It's times like this that I wish I'd stayed in the biz.  :lulz:

There's no room. You're right. I was born without rock and roll.

THEN FOR FUCK'S SAKE, GO FIND IT.

And that's everyone on the first mailing, I do believe.

Remember, if you have not specifically told me you want off the list, you can expect horrible parcels at random intervals for the rest of your (or my) natural life.  And when I die, my festering corpse will be shipped to one of you at random to do with as you see fit.
I'd laugh, but by now I know that that Dok is rarely joking.

If you get it, I expect a re-enactment of The Cremation of Sam McGee.

Ooooh one of the kids in EFO's class did a brilliant recital of that at their last poetry reading.

That's the piece that made me decide poetry has value.

You know, after the school system made sure it wasn't fun, by making us read Emily Dickenson and that goddamned Joyce Kilmer (the insipid fuck that wrote the tree poem).  Then I read Sam McGee and some Kipling, and suddenly I realized that a lot of it IS good, just like I had to discover Shakespeare for myself, after being tortured with A Midsummer Night's Dream.  If I hadn't caught a charcoal animation of Richard III on PBS, which led me to read loads of his other stuff, I'd still think he sucked.

Read it three goddamn times in different grades.  Romeo & Juliet as well.  Ugh.  Thankfully they gave me Macbeth a few times as well, which is my favorite.

When I was in the scouts there was a guy who would recite Sam McGee at campfires and such.  It was pretty awesome.

Shakespeare's "comedies" are horrible.  Romeo and Juliet had it's moments, as did Hamlet and MacBeth.  Julius Caesar was fucking BRILLIANT, as was Richard III and Henry V.  Othello exists solely for people to misquote, and The Taming of the Shrew was a snooze.
