Yeah - seriously, Obama is a lot more moderate than most people think - or at the very least, he's incredibly pragmatic when it comes to policy - focusing more on determining what works than ideology.

By the way - he has announced that he's dismantling Gitmo, so however his presidency goes, I've gotta give him props for that.

"Mommy, she has no boobs why?" o-o

Funny. Chris Crocker has some points though. Personally, I never shit in public, unless it is an emergency. Pissing is fine, since I'm not actually touching the seat, and in the event that I do have to drop a deuce, I line the seat with toilet paper.

Also, does ANYONE know of a site where I can find movie scripts? I have Google'd around a bit, but I haven't found either of the two movies I'm looking for. If you need to know names, I can post at request, but if you know a site with a massive, and diverse library of movie scripts do share.

Thank you.

So, what are people's plans for Thanksgiving? Mine center on this.

Okay, not really, but that does look tasty (if heart-attack inducing). Hmm, on the other hand, I could always pick up some bacon salt for my turkey, though.

Ah, the ole' Turbaducken.

Well ain't this great... I FINALLY get my PC back to full normalcy (minus the fact that the tech guy didn't tell me that the was he partitioned my drive space made it so I can't use my desktop as my main storage anymore). I sit down and insert my brand new Mass Effect CD into the drive, install, and the game locks up on loading. I email EA and I'm told that my PC can't support the game. And I'm fairly certain that it was running on a friend's PC which was even OLDER than mine.

I'm pretty sure the Orange box won't work either. This was a total waste of 80 bucks. I can't play these games on this computer. AND I WAS SO HYPED FOR THEM. >: O

I am NOT in the mood to buy a new PC, after all the hell and a half I went through to get this one working! Gah....I am so pissed....

Correction! A chicken stuff inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey wrapped in bacon.

o.o ..Wait, seriously? How exactly would you make one? I'm guessing there is a lot of mincing involved.

Well, I had a normal Turduken (Chicken inside Duck inside Turkey). My Dad just bought it online. Funny story actually. It cost $60, but $60 to ship. The next day, we found it at the store for $50. Boy was he mad.

Heh, it does.

Also, whenever you buy a new computer, be sure to have a monitor too. I got about halfway through installing Windows XP on my new computer that arrived today that I realized my monitor didn't work.

Well, that's what happened in the dream I had last night, anyway. What actually happened is that the monitor is on its way, but the tower arrived this afternoon. I set it up, and used the old monitor belonging now to my sister's 386 PC as a monitor. Old, old VGA Monitor. Got through the BIOS booting okay, but then when it got to the XP login screen, ... ... oh god. It's like the entire concept of mathematics vomited on the screen.

I lol'd.

Quick question about MS Word 2003. Is there a way to replace every instance of a word with another word. An example would be if you wanted to change someone's name through out the story. Basically, you swap out the name for another. I always thought there was some sort of key board command for this.

I would imagine there's a "find and replace" option somewhere, probably in the edit menu. But I dunno, I hate MS Word.

I think there is, but I don't remember how. I don't have MS Office on my PC.

Yeah, do "find and replace" under the "edit" menu, and, after typing in the old word you're looking for and the new word to replace the old one, there should be a button that says "Replace all" that you should click.

Okay. Thanks guys. Yeah, don't really like MS word either. But Notepad has been acting buggy lately. For example, it randomly duplicates lines, and stuff.

Awesome movie Part 1. | Part 2.

Yeah, This was the result of a Health Class project. I helped my girlfriend make a video about the effects of PCP. It's not really anything to brag about, but it is fairly amusing to say the least. This was made about three weeks ago.

This is gold. The Bible told by a five year old:

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, 'The Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than that.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]


[COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC][FONT=Arial]Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someone did. [/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]Then God made the world.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]


[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked,[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]invented yet.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]


[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]


[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]as he was Abel.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]


[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]Pretty soon all of the early people died[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]


[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy,[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]some other people to join him, but they said they would[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]have to take a rain check.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]


[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]


[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston.

These plagues included frogs, mice, lice,[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]bowels, and no cable.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]


[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]God fed the Israel Lights every day[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]with manicotti. Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments.

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua who was the first[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]the fence fell over on the town.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]


[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot.

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets.

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]star of The New. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]


[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC](I wish I had been born in a barn too, because my mom is always saying[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]to me, 'Close the door!

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Democrats.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]


[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black][FONT=Kristen ITC]But the Democrats and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]

Sadly, I think that interpretation of the Bible is more accurate and detailed than your average Christian's understanding of the Bible. No offense, but at least in my experience, this is the case - I can't count the number of times I've had discussions with religious people wherein I had a greater knowledge of Biblical teachings than they did. And that's completely ignoring the lack of understanding over the history of Christianity since then - the origins of various religious holidays, the various translations of the Bible and interpretations of its teachings, etc. Or to take it a step further, their own church's teachings - you won't believe how many Catholics simply don't realize that the Catholic Church embraces the theory of evolution.

The Catholic Churches embraces evolution? I find that hard to agree. Could you elaborate?

The Catholic Church does not teach creationism, and has stated support for scientific evidence as a better guide multiple times. Catholics don't read the Bible 100% literally, rather looking at stuff like the creation story as a metaphor - unlike most protestant denominations.

Edit: and yes, to agree with rock_nog, it's enormously annoying how I know tons more about the contents of the bible, history of christianity, etc than any theist. I don't hate Christianity, I just don't believe it (and think it's pretty ludicruous...), and I could describe the religion more accurately and neutrally than many Christians.

Oh and russ stop talking about religion in so, it's really annoying. Also that story was not cute, since it obviously has puns that were designed by someone with more than the cognitive ability of a five year old. Some of that could certainly have come from a five-year-old, but as a whole it very obviously didn't. Waste of time.

I see funnyness here. You, who believe a wide array of fantastical stories, are expressing skepticism that a group of people who believe a wide array of fantastical stories would acknowledge that science gives us a more accurate view of the physical universe than ancient scrolls written by desert nomads who thought the earth was flat.
