Couldn't have been full Archer... no dead hookers rolled up in carpets, and I saw nary a turtleneck.

There's Antarctica, where they generally killed themselves.

It will look nicely saturated and all on the screen, but when it comes to printing it out, you're going to be "Oh, wait..."

Mess up a $20 sheet of Fujiflex hg, and you'll <i>really</i> start missing the original products!

I've been to Galway (still have the mandatory sweater) -- my ex is Irish (County Cork, via Newfoundland.) It is hard to imagine the misery that produced all that picturesque scenery.

I wonder if anyone's history is "blemish free". It would have to be some tribe so remote that they didn't have neighbors to beat on.

I saw that hotel when I was out near Gila Bend on business inspecting a anhydrous ammonia installation for a large farm about 8 miles from that town. That is one butt ugly place. I was staying in Phoenix and traveled out to the site daily and that was some butt ugly country. The town has a DQ and stopped there on the last day and asked for an ice cream cone. They were out of ice cream. Kinda ironic but it matched Gila Bend. I see why the State of Arizona built a prison near there.

It was someone that lived 60 years before us and never considered the phrase "agribusiness." I would think that if you live in PHX and drive to San Diego, you make sure you have a full tank of gasoline, stop in Yuma to make sure you still have enough gasoline, and then drive past El Centro and over the mountains before seeing San Diego and think your free.

The San Diego ocean breeze is addictive. I've made that drive during the day and night with some Phoenix FD compadres and I was nervous. That's so unfriendly terrain and folks.

Even if the nutters come out in force, there aren't enough of them to win it for Mitt, so his relentless pandering to the base strikes me as self-defeating. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

And now, ditto for Cibachrome. I suppose it will live on, zombielike, as a Photoshop filter.

Not a white whale, one hopes.

The goal, I think, is just to get the Irish to stop murdering one another for a few generations. The theory being that people not yet born will, perhaps, be able to get along. Whether or not they can carry a grudge for ten generations, à la the Balkans, remains to be seen.

1. Get a Mac™. 2. Copy the thing, and stash it somewhere. 3. In MS Word, type (TM) and hit the spacebar. Copy & paste.

He's trying to nail down the "undecided fundie" demographic.

And, presumably, someone who's responsible for hiding the horseshit.
