Viral news about "[URL="https://www.google.com/search?q=Palcohol"]Parcohol[/URL]". Amusingly, search for lowercase "parcohol" returns nothing relevant.

Pa[B]r[/B]cohol/Pa[B]l[/B]cohol is the difference, not the capitalization.

Well, obviously, that was not the point that made me go "hmmmm..."
(but thank you for spotting the typo).

It was the idea that powdered alcohol is what the humanity really needs.

"Mix with my patented freeze-dried water for the ultimate dry martini!"

I would taunt SergeB with a "Remember to never dlink and dlive!" quip, but fear the PC prigs would misinterpret that as an anti-Asian slur. Confusing slurring of one's speech with slurs in one's speech, as it were.

Video is pretty amazing. By way of analogy to humans (but Bonobos make us-at-our-worst look like prudes) - see what Bonobos are capable of when you can get them to think about something other than sex?

Paul's mention of the 125cc limit on engine displacement for beginners in the UK must have taken subconscious root within our brain because today we scored a 125! Whee!

[QUOTE]Sarah Palin would like all terrorists to know that if she were in charge, [COLOR=Blue][B]waterboarding[/B][/COLOR] is how the United States would [B][COLOR=Red]baptize[/COLOR][/B] them.





At least that's what the former Alaskan governor and ex-vice presidential nominee told thousands of attendees this weekend at the National Rifle Association's annual convention in Indianapolis.

(Spoiler alert: there's nothing here you haven't seen or heard before.)

I was just struck by the Jesus-like attitudes expressed. Ol' Bible Spice sure has some great ways of showing her respect for supposedly sacred psychodramas. This certain goes beyond (below?) the "total immersion" level of baptism.

Considering the venue, I wonder if she also talked about what kinds of assault rifles her Lord and Savior would pack.

Courtesy of a "Saturday Night Live" sketch, our Lord prefers a shotgun when not using His samurai sword.
