[taterguy]

Subject to debate and revision of course

[caty]

1. I will

smoke and fraternize if I want to.:evilgrin: :smoke:

[taterguy]

2. Sorry, it's strictly prohibited

[badgerpup]

3. We ARE the federal government...

...so we don't have to obey posted signs.

referring to Tom Delay smoking a stogie under a 'No Smoking' sign. When he was directed to the fact that this WAS a 'No Smoking (of anything)' area, he just riposted "I AM the federal government!"


Hubris and arrogance oughta be taxable, ya know?

15. Holy crap, I hadn't heard that before...

So I looked it up.

Kudos to the manager that made Tommy-boy leave his table!

We're told that during a recent dinner with about 30 political supporters at a downtown Washington steak house, DeLay walked out on his guests before dessert when the manager told him he could eat and drink but not puff.

The dinner was organized by the leader's daughter and campaign manager, Danielle DeLay Ferro, as a fundraiser for Armpac, Delay's political action committee, at Ruth's Chris Steak House on Ninth Street NW. But because the restaurant leases space in a building owned by a federal agency -- in this case, the Smithsonian Institution -- the law forbids smoking. The prohibition is posted on numerous signs inside and outside the restaurant.

But after the main course, DeLay went into "hammer" mode, trying to compel manager Tom Khandker to flout federal regulations and lift the ban. We hear the conversation went something like this:

Khandker: "I'm sorry, sir, but this is a federal building, and it's against the law of the federal government."

DeLay: "I am the federal government."

But Khandker stood his ground, and DeLay and several cigar-chomping compatriots left for the smoke-filled Caucus Room before the cheesecake course.

Hey Loungers? If you live in DC, and happen to go to that Ruth's Chris, please tell that manager he's a helluva guy.

Thanks badgerpup!

13. The way I see it is...

I'll need at least 2 other dissenters :D

".. Can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement."

[Shine]

12. Rules are meant to be broken.

http://www.deathride.com/ Check out the course!! OMG, 16,000 ft of climbing in a day! :scared: That'll be a first....

I've got less than 4 wks, so I'm training my little booty off these days. Lots and lots of riding and climbing...

:hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. What? I can't hear you over the sound of the gurgling of my Absynth bong with built-in subwoofer

[taterguy]

19. I thought you couldn't hear because some moran was loudly talking on his cell phone

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. No, that guy was burned to death weeks ago

:rofl:

[taterguy]

21. The moran, the moran, the moran's on fire

We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn
Burn motherfucker burn

Or something like that

[LostinVA]

22. How about yogurt eating, pev?

[taterguy]

24. Yogurt eating is ok as long as you post pics of it

Cuz I'm a pev :)

[LostinVA]

26. Will a photo of the future missus do?

[taterguy]

27. There's no correct answer to that question

If I say yes it means I have pevy thoughts about her
If I say no it means I don't think she's worthy of pevy thoughts

But I guess you can see right through me and suspect that I would enjoy pics of her yogurt consumption

[LostinVA]

29. I know what you're like

We are two pevs in a pod.

[taterguy]

31. And yet this thread is still devoid of yogurt pics

:wtf:

[LostinVA]

32. Good God, man -- be patient!

We had to make and eat dinner (sans yogurt), and "Wife Swap" is getting ready to come on, followed by "Hell's Kitchen."

Be a good lad, and I'll make sure the yogurt is Fruit on the Bottom, okay?

[Adsos Letter]

25. AND NO SEX...

...it could lead to dancing... (sorry, old Baptist joke) :hide:

:D

[taterguy]

28. No sex because because pretty soon we're all gonna get it

It's time to buy some stuff on credit
Come on baby, fuck me and die
(Sorry, old Alex Chilton song)

[Danger Mouse]

30. Tyrant! Stop trying to repress us!

[conscious evolution]

33. New rule:No sex or nudity threads
