Example: Canada! Canada has free healthcare and college, yet their country has not grown very much. They are 1/10 of the american population and 1/50 of our army, and 1/100 of our value.

Woah! We've got free post-secondary school tuition? Tell that to my student debt!

Do you know why we're 1/10 of the American Population, Mr. Poop?  It's because we aren't over populated. We have huge national parks and reserves. The northern portions of most provinces are still rather untouched. We still have rainforest, the only temperate rainforest left in North America. 

We don't have the armed forces America has.  Do you know why? Because we don't go to war with other countries.  We try using diplomatic chanels instead of attacking "possible threats."  In fact, most of the time that the Canadian troops are deployed, we're cleaning up from other wars.   That's why they're actually called "The Peacekeepers."

And 1/100 of American value? What does that mean?  Our dollar is worth 80 American cents.  Our exports of lumber, wheat, oil and other natural resources are what keep the United States running.  The United States actually gets a very large percentage of it's oil from the exotic oil sands of Western Canada.  We have a thriving artistic culture, with Canadians being some of the most respected writers and actors in the world: Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Martin Short, Yann Martel, Jim Carrey, Mike Meyers, William Hutt, Lucy Peacock... the names can go on and on.  Where, exactly, is our value less than yours?

Besides.  We're bigger than you.

But now the completeness is overwhelming!

Okay, I want that costume for real. It rocks my socks.

And my men's dress shoes, apparently.

Darth: In the Dr. Evil one, that is such a seamless edit I can't figure out who it is. Awesomness.

Eric/Jess (if she reads this): that shirt is ADORABLE! Yay for very cute beaws!

Well, if you insist...

It's a song dedicated to the Competitions and Activities forum, appropriatly titled Competitions and Activities!

I wrote this in maybe an hour, and there is no music to go along with the song.Ã,  Fear my a capella skills!

You can BELIEVE that the best way to put out a fire is to dance an irish jig while wearing a coconut bra, but that doesn't make it true.

Dang! That's why the fire in the kitchen still hasn't gone out.

* DragonRose switches to a Scottish Jig.

OK, on to the serious part of the post.

I must admit that Bush scares the living daylights out of me.Ã,  I wasn't able to catch the debate, because I had a night class, but everything I've ever heard about Bush makes me think he's the wrong man for the job.Ã,  Please note that I get most of my information from the CBC and CNN and I'm writing this at two in the morning.Ã,  That'll give you a twisted viewpoint any day.

I'm not going to say anything about actually invading Iraq other than this: "STUPID ILLEGAL WAR WRONG WRONG WRONG NO BLOOD FOR OIL GET OUT!!!!!"Ã,  What I am going to talk about is his government's relationship to other countries.

Canada and France have always been big supporters of the USÃ,  (Except for that whole War of 1812 thing).Ã,  Canada is the most important trading partner with the US.Ã,  France has always fought on the same side as the US in any war they both participated.Ã,  When we don't join in on their illegal and irresponsible invasion (ooh, alliteration!) we are branded as "the other side" and "friends of the terrorists."

Even before the World Trade Center attacks, Bush was ignorant of foreign affairs.Ã,  A Canadian comedian, Rick Mercer, met with him at a press mobbing (I have NO idea what they're really called, but one of those things when an important person is leaving somewhere and the press swoops in).Ã,  He asked Bush's opinion on Canadian Prime Minister Jean Poutine's policies.Ã,  Bush said they were great, and that he would fully support Mr. Poutine.

The Canadian Prime Minister at the time was Jean Cretien.Ã,  Poutine is a tasty Quebec heart-attack-on-a-plate of French Fries, gravy and cheese curd.Ã,  Maybe he was getting confused with Russian president Vladamir Putin (sp?), but STILL!

Ironically enough, he didn't end up supporting Mr. Cretien, called him an enemy of democracy, and in general was a jerk.

I don't know all that much about Kerry, just that he doesn't support the Invasion in Iraq.  And is that really enough to base four years of presidency on?

I don't know if this counts, but I think it's funny.



Eric is teh monstar!

When do you need this by?

I would recommend writing "(insert your name here)+(insert teacher's name here)" inside a big heart on every black board in the school.  Then you follow him home from school, playing love songs you wrote yourself on a stolen ukulele.  Whenever any one else talks to him in your presence, tackle them and beat them to a pulp screaming "HE'S MINE, BITCH!"  That always works for me...

...Not that I've ever done anything like that. Obviously. I'm a good girl.

Never heard of Quest for Orgy before, but I still found it in 0.21 seconds!

The morale of the story? If you can't find it, type the name into Google.  Easy!

Well... except for Nomedon Inc.  The only reference to that I found was on the 2001 AGS Awards registered games list.

My worst negligent parent story happened this summer.

At the Rennaisance Festival where I worked, there was a dunk arm- a log suspended from a chain with a chair on the end. Ã, At four o'clock there was a show where cast members got dunked in the pond much to everyone's amusement.

This thing was a death trap. Ã, The pond is thirty feet deep, the log could twist and dump you in the water. Ã, We had three people with life guard training around whenever we did the show, and five people, including two guys weighing over two hundered pounds on the end to keep the chair from falling into the water. Ã, While the show was not on (most of the day), the chair was chained in place and locked with a big honking padlock. Ã, There were also signs posted "Do Not Touch- Property of Sheriff's Department."

You'd think people would get the hint.

The second day of the festival, a cast member was wandering past the pond to see a family of four who, after RIPPING THE CHAIN OUT OF THE STAGE, were dunking their three year old son. He called security and forced the people to bring the little boy back in.

"But he was hot!" they cried. Good GOD! Ã, If he's hot, buy him a drink, sit in the shade, or go home! Don't attempt to drown him!

My theory to keep morons from having babies: temporary sterilization at birth. Ã, After you have taken a test that says "Yes! You are not a danger to a new life!" the sterilization is removed. Ã, If you need a license to adopt a dog from the pound, you should DEFINETLY need a license to have a baby. Ã, Screw you, Human Rights! Ã, No one should have the right to make someone else's life a living hell.

End Rant.

If you have a game where you have to get around in some sort of vehicle (like Gabriel Knight or P:DA) you could always have a message along the lines of "You put it in your car" (and have the character go off screen and return) when you pick up oversized objects, and "you get it out of the car" and have the character leave and return.

That way, your oversized items are near by, and your inventory isn't seen as looking in your pockets, but just a list of things you own.

NetMonkey: What? No Moss arrows? 

Ooo... I'm quite liking this!  Some songs like "In der ÿberzahl" (what does that mean, anyway? What language is it?) I would never listen to on my own, but I quite like them.

I think it's an awesome idea.  I wouldn't mind doing a show, though you'd have to put up with my bizzare collection of comedy tracks.

Jaz: I think it's probably because when people look at the "eye-bleedingly coloured empty boxes" they want to give advice.  But when people post amazing images like these, there's no advice to give!

I was at Inktank.com this morning, and I thought everyone here might get a kick out of today's comic.

It made me chuckle.

I like dragons.
I like roses.

DragonRose.  Tada!

On the EZ-Board forum I was Roseofthedragon because Dragonrose was taken.  But that was a royal pain in the neck to type out. When Dragonrose is taken I now use my amazing Latin skillz and use Rosa Draconum.

Rodekill: There is no help for you. We're all in this together! Bwahahaha!

Everything you want to know about the at sign

As to that "and per se and" thing Rich mentioned, it means "and by itself is and."  I'm guessing the first and means the sign and the second is used as a definition. So basically it comes out as "& is all you need to say and." Yay for half remembered Latin classes!

He's wearing contact lenses so his square eyes seem round.

No, she was probably brewing moonshine. Capone had the same result.

Argh! You has discovered teh deep dark sekrit!  She is teh gangstar!
