What have you done that most people haven't?
Oh God...I've got allllllllll kinds of stuff that will put you to sleep in terms of my talking about them. :) Just ask a judge and a couple juries I encountered. Hot baths are much more effective, however. Otherwise, I'm here. :)— April 26, 2009 2:30 a.m.
A Cop and Contestant in a Pagaent
"opposite marriage." The woman's a tard. Case closed. Seriously, there is no excuse for not being able, at that level, to answer ANY question with grace, intelligence, and diplomacy. Anything less is tard-town and you lose. Suzanne, to answer an earlier question I thought of "Six Feet Under" when you were all talking about favorite TV shows. Now Josh has HOUNDED me (okay, slight exaggeration) for my top 5 fav movies, which I'm finding difficult to quantify. But for TV shows, that one is certainly up there...so well done. My boyfriend-that-I-live-with-but-think-I'm-too-old-to-call-a-boyfriend HATES TV. But he liked "Six Feet Under." He'd call it, "The Dead Show," as in, "Honey, the Dead Show is on tonight...wanna watch?" :) Death. It brings us all together, as some time or another, huh?— April 26, 2009 2:28 a.m.
Celebrity Idiots -- The Jamie Fox and Hulk Hogan Edition
In the Russia I knew, so few people had cars. Most walked. All took public transportation when available. I first arrived in Leningrad (St. Pete's :) in an April. It was freezing. Not winter-like freezing, but winter went it reluctantly must give way to spring. No snow, but a wind that would cut through your clothes like any Nor-easter in our country will in January. It just didn't blow all the time. But the permafrost was still apparent, as were the red tips of most noses. And the skies were gray. Ovidichka, have you ever been to the United States?— April 26, 2009 2:19 a.m.

Hi you! Okay. Guilty. But Josh took it to a new other level. How are you feeling?— April 26, 2009 2 a.m.

Uh...what WAS this thread about again?— April 26, 2009 1:27 a.m.
Does a Bear Chase in the Woods?
Yeah Josh, like I said on another blog... if men got pregnant abortion would be in the Bill of Rights. As in the right to... :) We still love you guys...<3— April 26, 2009 1:25 a.m.

Well, SD is a very bright woman. And she had a point. But the dialect differences were consistent, for me, with someone who spoke Russian and learned English. Even the variances. Sorry Suzanne, I didn't get a chance today to tell you as much as I was all over the place today. But what did sometimes make me wonder was the time. The time of postings. They are consistent with someone 11-12 hours ahead of us. If not, it's all still very entertaining. :) And I just laughed my ass off with Ovod's understandable confusion/concern over the phrase "SurfPuppy." LOLOLOLOL.... good God. Ovod, Ovidichka, it is the name of another user on this site, SurfPuppy619 or some such thing. There are no "furries" involved. God help us we need some sleep. :)))— April 26, 2009 1:20 a.m.
P.B. Underground
Holy (insert epitaph)! First I thought I had written a winner. Then I read Rangell's and refriedG's and thought, "dang, they should win." And then I read this. Perhaps it is because it is late and I have partook...lol..of the grape. But perhaps not. I love your writing style. And who can deny the subject was on topic and on task. Well done. If I lose to you, I'll still smile (not as much as if I win, but well, you know :). Best, Lisa a/k/a "lallaw"— April 26, 2009 1:11 a.m.

? I'm gone for a little over a day and what happened to this thread... lol... the Hulkster's personal life aside, he certainly has to be a dedicated individual when it comes to life-long physical fitness. Suzanne, you should not be so hard on yourself. You've been ill with an illness that won't allow you to be all that you can be. And you didn't fail with your contemplative attempt - I think Josh was just being sarcastic (except what was that about skanky lawyers and lats? :) And Ovod my hat is off to you for your dedication to health. You should definitely though get involved with other blogs on this site. Your opinions would be welcome... just go to the home page, click on what you like, and fire away. :) Physical fitness takes a lot of dedication, a lot of deprivation, and most of all: consistency. It is worth the battle, but two days out of every month I will have some chocolate. God help me I'm human. :) Mostly though balance in all things is the key...and that includes learning to shut it when nothing but "stupid" will come out. Dasvedanya!— April 25, 2009 11:13 p.m.
Does a Bear Chase in the Woods?
On behalf of Bear, SD, thanks for the mention. :) JB when you say "old lady" just how old are we talking? And who the heck leaves the scene without police permission after striking a pregnant pedestrian and admitting to speeding?? I'm shaking my head with that one and hope they find her. I think she has a few more questions to answer. I'd have a very hard time staying rooted if a bear was charging. If I was pregnant, my first thought would be to save my baby so I'd take my very poor chances and haul-a out of there. You never know, you might just luck out and get struck by a speeding octogenarian. But seriously folks, I think it is wise these days to carry a little pepper spray in your back pack if you are going anywhere for a stroll where man meets beast. Beasts usually win, or at least they will really mess you up. People need to be smarter about where, when, and how we enjoy nature. My dog and I ran into a black bear while hiking in the north woods. Normally I would not have expected to see a bear (or wild cat) where we were at that time of day, but some thoughtful person had left a large bag of garbage out in the woods. My dog saw him first, of course, and went into "ready" position, one paw up, nose and tail parallel to the ground. He was tensely focused and waiting for the signal. It was everything I could do to get him to come back to me once I realized what he was looking at. As I slowly turned around there he was in all his magnificence maybe 20 feet behind me. He stood up, and quickly tried to hide behind a tree; peeking out only occasionally as I backed the hell outta there. My dog was very disappointed with me.— April 25, 2009 5:56 p.m.
