Poll question: What is your very cool style tied to?
George Snuffleuphagus is puzzled by Obama's charisma: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5570007

To what do you attribute your uber-cool style?

2. Being an engineer.
Well, it's got to be something. My mother came from Romania, and my father from Bulgaria, so it's damn sure not genetic.

Two Moto Guzzis in the garage don't hurt. At the end of the day, my cat still ignores me, unless he wants brushed or fed. Or wants the window opened.

Eh, I got nothin'.

46. you know, Ellen, not many people know that....
my screen name is actually an acid related nickname given to me by a company of Marines in Centroamerica. That was such a fucked up place, everybody was as stoned as physically possible all the time. But the orange sunshine made the trauma otherworldly, as if it wasn't happening. Or so we thought.

51. That's really interesting.
Really.

I'm not sure about this, but I think it's forbidden to even do research about LSD because it's so hyper-illegal. I would think there'd be a lot to learn from a drug with such powerful and unique effects.
