OT: How does someone from Texas explain getting a D in Meat?

No no no...I was just going to say if they were paying you it's too much money.  You have a reverse psychological effect than what I think you intend.  At least on me.

Well that's on you. Unable to see the forest for the trees.

If you go through a day and run into an ahole, chances are, that guy's an ahole.

But if you go through a day and think that *everyone* you run into is an ahole, then chances are, you're the ahole.

And here comes the name calling. You lose as usual. It's pathetic.

Totally unrelated to my last post:

It's gonna be yuge.  Are they staying around for the Saturday read 'em and weep march??

I wouldn't worry about that biker dude. He can't see where he's going.

There will be more of that in the years to come

If you travel overseas much, it is bad. They expected so much more than what we gave them, from either party.

I'm over there frequently.  There's a lot of "WTF?!?" for sure.

I have to say that despite all the jokes this morning, what little I saw of Perry's hearing was pretty good.  He was definitely prepared for the hearing, and my sense is that he's going to listen to the people in the Office of Science, which is all that matters to me.

I can tell you, there is no diplomacy coming our way.

my point though was its old news. he regretted saying it, theres nothing to see here.  

@HeavyG: "Haha this morning Perry said he regrets calling for the elimination of the department he's now been asked to run - hilarious!"

You: "why are you digging up old news?"

HeavyG: "Ahm this is from this morning."

You: "Here's a link to an article that talks about him saying this morning that he REGRETS saying that.  Pay attention to the word REGRET."

Me: "You're confused dude."

You: "My point was that it's old news!"

Since @fishlessman says he has  "...sat over the big swimming pool on wooden 2x10's with really long pliers moving the rods around." that really explains a lot and I'm more than willing to cut him some slack.

Also, his gratuitous use of    emoticons really makes it    difficult for me to understand   whether he is serious, joking, seriously joking or just mental.

On the other hand I am easily confused, just ask @pgprescott

Again, you have nothing really to say. How bout that fake news you guys gobble up. I know, it's hard for you to admit. I just responded to a fake news feeding frenzy and you all went dark. Then after a period the posse returned to hurl insults as usual. Pathetic

The posturing with the WTF is not the first time-somehow the "show me the money" hammer has a whole lot more influence.  Time will tell-but I'm betting on the $$.

And... yet another post I'm having trouble parsing. See, I am easily confused.

Been busy, haven't had time to keep up and read thru everything here one after the other so, sorry if I didn't respond in real time to your running commentary about fake news.

I am puzzled tho - exactly what insult have I thrown at you in this thread??

That's a polite way of saying, " What Dafuk you talking about?".

The weirdly uncontrollable emojis was really just a bonus there.

Okay- I may have missed (doesn't happen often...) but the post but it was aimed at is below.  At the end of the day ...

Let there be enlightenment, or not.

Yeah, I gathered that it was directed at us due to the WTF part, but it was still incoherent.

Pretty sure three of the last four posts I have clicked on have some sort of political hissy fit going on.  

Old men arguing since last night on a cooking forum.  The priorities of the American people are in check. 

lousubcap

Not directed at anyone-just expressing what I have observed over time; living a couple of years in Italy in the Carter years and a year in OZ the mid 90's in the Clinton years.   (Shoulda at least planned one with a R in the seat.. for honest comparison  )  FWIW-
