Because of the escalation, I am not going to give or ask for cashmere sweaters or afghan rugs for

Christmas. Just doing my part.

1. How about a nice new

George Forman grill instead? :7

[PBS Poll-435]

3. That would fix some of my other problems.

How do you get "CD" off of a ""non-stick"" surface?

I tried sandpaper, a car wax/buffer thing, sandpaper. I am screwed I guess.

Thanks. :pals:

2. Does this mean I won't be getting the opium you promised me? nt

[PBS Poll-435]

6. Actually, I think I promised you an opossum

[depakid]

4. Go with Australian wool!

Higher quality and more sustainable.

5. US Service members are going to die.

Sorry I guess I'm not as funny as you.

[gateley]

13. Just because someone makes a joke doesn't mean s/he isn't as heartbroken

as you regarding this situation. Kind of judgmental -- especially from an obvious Saint. :eyes:

[bigjohn16]

14. I agree. I thought the escalation jokes were funny in both of the threads.

I can't wait to go to Zanies and see the posters whole escalation routine.

[gateley]

15. Sigh. nt

7. Are there no repercussions for willful serial content-less flame-bait? Guess not.

[PBS Poll-435]

8. I guess not either

11. You're doing a very good job. n/t

[DrDan]

9. I must be missing something - but what does the escalation have to do with some little

rug maker in Kabul trying to eak out a meager living . . .

10. Because of the escalation, I will be going to more memorials for my fellow alumni.

Thanks for doing your part though.

[PBS Poll-435]

12. Perhaps not

We'll see.

[PVnRT]

16. I think you need to start a few more threads about it

You know, just in case there's someone on DU who doesn't know how victimized you are because people are against escalation in Afghanistan. You should try the other forums as well.

[mitchum]

17. And in the same spirit, I am giving up heroin

[PBS Poll-435]

19. Good for You!

:woohoo:

[spiritual_gunfighter]

18. I am swearing off prime Afghan hash for Christmas n/t
