Too bad we can't get a Box pool going. Wouldn't it be cool to win the pot with only B:rolleyes:xers?

Oh please. That easily goes down as the dumbest thing I have ever heard. If spineless political correctness were to come from any other country but this one, my money would be so against Israel that it's not even funny. Up until the other day, I really thought that the Israelis were the ballsiest culture/nationality/etc. on the planet, excluding those that are not driven by suicidal fanaticism, because they don't count.

PayPal. Picture that at the press conference. "All of the jackpot winners hang out on the same Internet message board, discussing minutiae of their lives that would give Seinfeld a run for its money."

Oh, and telling the OP to get drunk does not count as talking her off the ledge.

It'll be a little late, they obviously spent over an hour this morning jumping up and down on my scale scenic design model on the way back from Chicago that needs to be presented tomorrow. If anyone needs me i'll be sniffing glue all night.

By the way, I have TONS of family living in Israel. Guess how many keep Kosher. None. Have you been there? Surprisingly, many Israelis are not religious. When I heard that the Israeli government is calling it the Mexican Flu and not the swine flu, I almost threw up. The Israeli government is kowtowing to the small, but boisterous right wing religious fanatics, that control only a small portion of the government. When I visit Israel, I try and stay away from the religious areas.

I have not been there, but I am interested in going. What is that much more interesting is that over there, political correctness appeases the Right? That's news to me.
