And I see that In-N-Out has increased their prices in the Bay Area. Oh well. I'm on a diet. ;-)
Diet?!!! AND a smiley winky face???? NO!
Don't go Sally Salad Eater on me, Volstad. You are a Texan, after all.

Your only point missing is that home owners haven't really had a chance to buy yet.
Not true. Think about all the fence-sitters just here on Pat.net that recently hopped off and saddled up. I bet our beloved Mr. Killelea buys within the next 24 months.

I dunno about the 100% cotton. JC looks like the kind of guy who would benefit from a wrinkle free polyester blend. Less likely to pick up Cheetos stains too.
Silk's all I take these days. I guess I probably own more silk shirts than any man deserves to.
Oh don't get me wrong, I dig the whole "I yam what I yam and tha's all what I yam" take on things. All the same I'd hate to see his pants go the way of his shirt.
You could do worse, ol buddy. Tis a splendiferous cargo these sansabelts do house. It's not for nothing that a hell of a lot of nookie's passed across Jody's Posturepedic over the years.

Why the hell is gay sex immoral?,
JodyChunder said:
I can't help suspecting her proffered "reason" was intended to manipulate your feelings on the subject and shut down the conversation. Although I hesitate to wade into it, consider a scale comparing Santorum to changing a diaper or walking a dog. If you believe her, then she would be both an unfit mother and an unfit dog owner, in addition to being a narrow minded wife.
I never kept up with her after she married an alpha asshole, so I don't know whether she had kids with him or not. She did have a dog. And a god. She also ate bacon.
Of course, she's one example only. Plenty of otherwise decent people have intense and even irrational aversions to things more benign than feces. I had a women break it off with me many years back because she saw me picking my nose in bed one night. I knew a grown man in charge of a team of employees who wouldn't eat his meal if the beans were touching the meat loaf on the same plate.
So, no, I have no real reason to doubt she was being sincere. In fact, if there's an overarching narrative here, it's that people are fucking peculiar when it comes to which grotesqueries they'll tolerate and which ones they won't. I suspect that sometimes, it's not any more deeply philosophical than eewww gross. Seriously.

its about how a macho, anti-gay bluster is often cover for insecurity about one's own sexuality. Duh.

You just never know with people. I've had friends over the years who were at least tacitly phobic toward the idea of male homosexuality (for whatever reason, lesbians -- not so much). I remember getting into a brief discussion once with a homophobic female coworker back in the day. It came up at breakfast one AM that she suspected a favorite cousin of hers of being homosexual, and she was visibly unnerved by it. I thought it was weird that she was so wound up, and so I asked her why it was she even gave a damn. Following much wrangling, what it all seemed to boil down to for her was an intense aversion to the fecal/septic. She didn't seem to care about the social element at all really, and empirically speaking, she was not surreptitiously gay herself.

We can try to sharpen Glenda's false arguments for her, but her proffered arguments are not the point. Even with your effort to save her, she'd run in a circle right back to the original question: why object?
Nah, not a save -- I just think taking big drizzly shits in concert all over someone who, at least initially, seemed to present his opposing viewpoint with a modicum of clinical detachment is not exactly the most deft approach to any debate. You sure as hell don't open the phones on a hot button issue like this without the hope of inspiring someone like Glen who disagrees with you to pipe in. I just wanted to retrain the sites on the core of the issue, and away from commenters calling one another fagellas. That shit gets real boring.

Are the Benefits of Wheatgrass Shots for Real?,
JodyChunder said:
Big Mal -- I have nothing to gain from lying to you. Filter it once or twice through a crocus cloth if the taste upsets you. I rub myself down with Kerosene and devour two whole white onions (as you might an apple) anytime I feel a flu coming on. I have not been sick since 1976.
I haven't had a glass of water since 1985.
I've never even heard of wheat grass.
Stick with me, Mal.

Sodomy, by any of the myriad of definitions, occurs throughout nature and therefore cannot be contrary to nature.
Sodomy is certainly part of our human ecology; but I think what Glendon is suggesting is that it's an aberrant part.

why do we all have a Family name ?
It's really just an ages-old convention...we need something to put on your toe tag that differentiates your cadaver from the one on the next slab over.
this certainly had a huge impact in creating a strong stable society.
But we are neither strong or stable. We've gotten more & more fucked up over the last 100 years. We might have slicker consumer gadgets to distract from and palliate the pain of our imploding collective soul, but don't kid...we're fucking fucked.
As for society...it's just a concept for living, Tom -- an egalitarian blueprint designed to enable people of disparate creeds, race, gender and ability to cohabitate together in relative harmony. The finest iteration of this design is the meritocratic society, where one's basic pursuit of happiness is delimited only by one's effort. The only thing that could possibly disrupt society then is a corruption of this core framework. Sexuality doesn't even enter into the discussion.

pineapple, strawberries, celery, carrots, spinach, flax seed, hemp protein, coconut milk. (sometimes using kale or other leafy greens, or other berries, or banana instead of pineapple, you get the idea)
Stick some mint leaves, beets, tomatoes and a jigger of kerosene in there and you'll live as long and mighty a life as a Chunder.

I spent roughly $2000 for two weeks in Jamaica over christmas break, but then again that was all at a nice resort...
I spent nearly 4K for ten days in Havana and Cienfuegos. (There were shit flies on all the food there, too, Mark D. Luckily, I have a prewar intestinal design, with a vanadium alloy stomach lining.)

But only because after WW2 the rest of the industrialized world was in ruins, our country wasn't touched, and thus we were in a situation to basically make and sell everything for everyone else and had a nice little monopoly for a few years.
That's part of it, but not entirely it. We had a lot of little secret ingredients that put us ahead of the pack.
Duke Ellington, Clark Gable, the transistor, Levi jeans, BVD, the flathead V8, log cabins, cowboys and Indians and hamburgers and french fried potatoes and Batman and Pepsi and Polio vaccines and Converse and ERECTOR Sets and Sinatra Fess Parker and Have Gun Will Travel and Robert Mitchum and King Kong and Mighty Joe Young and Walt Disney and Hanna Barbara and Raymond Loewy and Ford/Lincoln/Mercury and Cadillac and Playboy and John Ford and Woody Guthrie and Aaron Copeland and Frank Lloyd Wright and Western Electric and Elvis Presley and Doris Day and Marlon Brando and Sears Roebuck and Harley Davidson and Indian and Mickey Spillane and Jack Daniels and Smith & Wesson, The Naked and the Dead and Catcher in the Rye and John Huston and Jack Kerouac and JFK and RnB and glass packs and fried chicken and chicken fried steak and Cinerama and stereo recordings and Boeing and surfing and skateboarding and pinups and drag racing and Moog synthesizers and Fender and Gibson guitars and Marantz Hi-Fi and the Indy 500 and Lassie and 3d movies and RCA and air conditioning and...y'know...American stuff...the best shit...
Reagan ain't anywhere on that list...

80's were the golden age of America.
Eh...not really...they were a time of artificially induced euphoria and marked the transition of the one of the lamest generations ever into the I-Got-Mine-Fuck-You-Buddy phase they ultimately came to embody.
The golden age, when the gravy was still hot, was between 1948 and 1961.
