Best wishes to you and yours on your special day!

That new Roots album is serious hotness, gravely serious.

Me too!

My friend and I did some research last weekend on a drink made with green tea vodka and some weird English currant-ginger beverage.

The real-world motive is that apparently he was facing life in a Thai prison. One might confess to any number of things to avoid that particular fate.

Wooo! Revolucion!

I'm not in the least bit sorry that I do not give a plague-ridden rat's ass about Snakes on a Plane.

It is certainly true that people confess to things they did not actually do.

Have a good one, man.

But the difference between art and schlock is real.

What happens in Penn Station, stays in Penn Station.

Hot fucking rats!! Back-to-back WWII documentaries on Channel 13!

He would make a good assemblyman or NYC common council member.

Never been a huge fan of theirs, though I liked the live album they did with Jimmy Page.

I understand, especially considering what was done to the Chinese in that war. And unlike the Germans, the Japanese have expressed very little in the way of remorse - they still teach that it was a war of self-defense. My Mohawk quarter carries a grudge against the entire white race, the other three-quarters of me. Someday, I'm going to scalp myself and get it over with.

My grandfather got shot in the ass by a Japanese soldier on Guadalcanal. Gotta let go. Look what failure to let go has wrought in the Middle East.

Ref Jeff's just T'd you up for that. I realize you don't like wasabi, but hating on an entire people for it is just going too far.

I have heard that many of the founders were Deists, not Christian. WP's definition of deism: Historical and modern deism (from Latin: deus) is defined by the view that reason and logic, rather than revelation or tradition, should be the basis of belief in God. Deists reject both organized and revealed religion and maintain that reason is the essential element in all knowledge. For a "rational basis for religion" they refer to the cosmological argument (first cause argument), the teleological argument (argument from design), and other aspects of what was called natural religion. Deism has

When that happens, I will write my death poem and commit seppuku.

Personally, I don't care if kids pray in school, but I would much prefer that the "official" curriculum be secular in nature. If you take that part of Amend. 1 literally, what it means is that the U.S. is not to have a state religion, like the Church of England is back in Old Blighty or like Islam is in many parts of the world. And there is a mechanism for changing the Constitution. It's a difficult mechanism, and justifiably so, as to make The People THINK about what they're doing before they do it.

And a lot of people apparently owe the Ramsays a HUGE apology, me included, as I was sure they did it. (I apologize and rededicate myself to the principle of "innocent until proven guilty.")

I put that Jackson 5 song on the first CD I made for my nephew.

Give the Brits the phattest of props for holding the line after France fell. Had Britain capitulated, there's no way FDR would have been able to convince the public to go to war against Hitler, especially as the Third Reich would be much strengthened with their access to the British Empire's resources. Given that, he might have even beat Stalin. Hitler was an absolute retard when it came to actually conducting a war. He believed Barbarossa would be an instant success - "All you have to do is kick in the door, and the whole rotten structure will collapse" - and didn't bother to supply the Wehrm

French Canadian Bean Soup! Adam Weishaupt! Ewige Blumenkraft!

I learned how to ululate at SUNY New Paltz.
