I saw this on CNN this morning and thought some of you may be interested in competing next year.

shin kicking

next time' date=' try bringing a chick with you and have her do the driving through the border check.[/quote']

We've also found our time at the border diminished considerably with a baby seat in the back - might be a good garage-sale kind of investment.

oooh, i never thought of that. I'm gonna try that next time i come over!

have a good one!

cheers!!

next time, try bringing a chick with you and have her do the driving through the border check. i find they're always easier on girls. Not that it's right for them to treat ladies differently, but they do nonetheless.

i seem to remember him "quitting" the board a while back, can't remember why, though. anyways, i'm sure he still lurks around here every now and again.

my favorites were the dinobots. i was really into dinosaurs as a kid.

i remember when i got the tyrannosaurus rex one for my birthday and i took it to school the next day for show and tell and he got stolen out of my book bag. what a bummer that was.

i was also very fond of the pteradactyl(sp?) one, too.

hey birdy! it was great to finally meet you!

yeah, it is super hot. i was gonna go downtown to the festival, but i can't bring myself to do much more than just lay on the couch.

just a funny little clip

The site actually straddles the chile-argentina border. it looks like they're still waiting on approval of the argentinean government, which i'm sure they'll get since they already signed a mining treaty with chile. this is from www.barrick.com

"The Company filed for its environmental permits in both Chile and Argentina in 2004. Approval was received from Chilean environmental regulatory authorities in early 2006, and approval from the Argentine regulatory authorities is targeted for second quarter 2006. Upon receipt of these approvals, a three-year construction schedule will begin, with production targeted for 2009."

here's a link to a petition if you're against the project: www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/946839131

i'll be there!!!!

i think that maybe they think you'll be more likely to give them a cigarette if they offer to pay for it, but i doubt they actually expect to have to pay for it.

I like the crackheads in my neibourhood.

They don't do much for the foliage though.

hmmmm, maybe if they sprinkled some crack on the flowers...

haha! that's funny! i can picture it now...

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house.

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But, the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.

After 2 years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts".

The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. Every day as we walk back, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.

The moral is each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. Remember to appreciate all the different people in your life!

Blessings to all my crackpot friends!!!
