1. No More Threads About Every Cotton-Pickin Stinkin Poll... |
|
... the only poll that matters is the election day poll. Let the professionals on Kerry's team worry about the poll data.

3. When the checkout line at the grocery store says 10 items or less.. |
|
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 04:10 PM by terrya
it is TEN items or less. Not 11. Not 12. Not 20. TEN ITEMS OR LESS. I have stood behind people who can't understand this...which is weird, since it's posted...

33. Ten Items Or Less is a meaningless statement. |
|
What they MEAN is "Ten Items Or FEWER."
If I have to explain it to you, then you will probably argue anyway.

The procedure is so simple, yet a guy would much rather his partner be put under general anesthesia.

10. Or... I Can't Believe What Judy Woodruff Just Said! |

without so much as even TELLING us what it was she said. Do they think I can go BACK IN TIME and tune in moments ago, so that I can hear it and share the experience?? :eyes:

14. A yellow ribbon magnet is not a Jesus fish. |
|
Have you noticed that more and more of those yellow ribbon "Support Our Troops" magnets have wound up sideways on people's cars, so that it resembles a Jesus fish?
I told you all weeks ago about the yellow ribbon magnets and how it's a stand-in for the flag stickers that make SUV drivers look like such hypocrites a couple years ago. Now the religious right have made this painfully obvious.
There's a saying that anyone who has to tell you he or she is a Christian/conservative/liberal/etc. probably isn't. I already know Jesus supports our troops, but I'm not too sure he would approve of the war they're being asked to fight. To say that's a stretch would be an understatement.

16. Their sideways b/c their humongous - SUV sized. |
|
and don't fit on a normal car. Leads me to a question, in their minds how many ribbons are enough? My neighbor (BC sign out front) has 5 ribbons (and a few flags) spread over 1 large SUV and 1 super duty pickup. Apparently, he must be really insecure with his patriotism ;-)

For every vehicle with "not enough metal" there are ten whose owners are doing it on purpose.

27. People Need to Realize Something |
|
Edited on Tue Oct-19-04 10:14 AM by CO Liberal
I know that some people find comfort in their religion. However, others (myself included) believe that religion is the source of their misery.
I feel it's best in a venue like this to keep your religious beliefs to yourself.

If affected do not operate heavy machinery or drive a vehicle.

Unless your first name is Lance and your last name is Armstrong, you are no longer allowed to wear a whannabe yellow jersey and bike down 360. It does NOT make you cool.

37. Serious suggestions - in final days leading to election |
|
Edited on Tue Oct-19-04 03:56 PM by nemdaille
when distruptors and freeps start coming out from under their rocks
1 - A higher number of posts required of new members before they can start a thread - something around a hundred might weed out some of the dilettante types.
2 - recruit more mods for the final days leading up to the election to help weed out above mentioned freeps and disruptors. Some of us may have time to help in that manner that aren't able to help "the cause" in other ways.
Edited to add: I would volunteer as a mod; I prefer to offer "fixes" with my suggestions when possible.
