Too high. IQ cannot exceed twice the shoe size.

Please tell me that this is an intentional play on "beaucoup."

This maddness ochres when rouge elementals start too right they're copy. Their never on the same page with none of the rest of us. To make things go from bad to wurst, they always use prepositions to end sentences with.

Remember the "pseudo-intellectual" character on "in Living Color"? I believe he was played by Damon Wayans. Gosh, that was hilarious! Sadly, life once again imitates art.


Teacher: Two words should never be used in polite conversation. One is swell, the other is lousy.

Student: Kewl... what are they?

Threads like this amuse me because I keep thinking of all the folks in the US who are threatened by hispanics and desperately seeking to block other languages from being adopted in offical use by municipalities and states.

It sure would help if we actually started speaking and writing English properly, before heading off on chauvinistic tangents like that!

Your post broke my brain. :(

Reminded me of this: 5 English Lessons From the Anti-Immigrant Movement.

Dupe.

Going through SFO yesterday, I handed the TSA checker 3 passports and boarding passes together. He acted like I had molested his grandmother! How dare I give him all the documents for my party at the same time. Needless to say, any of the other 20 checkpoints I had been through in the previous 24 days, 32,000 miles and 6 countries had no problems.

If you want to see a "way with words" from the TSA, have a look a the Evolution blog and their ridiculous parsing of language in their "you won't be put on a list if you don't have id post," written in response to the recent USA Today article on the topic.

The TSA blog says the USA Today story is "false" because such people are not "put on a list". Of course not -- they are entered into a database. The blog also explicitly refers to people who "forget their ID", so it is probably safe to assume that the treatment by the TSA of people who refused to show ID was not so benign, and that again, since the TSA's unsigned denial of the USA Today article did not explicitly say that such individuals were not "put on a list," it is probably safe to say that they were. Also, the TSA notes that the identities of 558 people were not "successfully resolved", but presumably in these cases, SOMEBODY's name ended up on a list. Finally TSA notes that "our law enforcement and intelligence partners go to great lengths to identify people planning attacks on aircraft. It is our obligation to stop them once they have been identified". O-k-a-a-a-a-y, so where are your press releases trumpeting your success at catching people who were "planning" attacks? They make press releases about seizing blocks of cheese and homemade battery packs, so presumably they would make one if they actually caught someone who was "planning" an attack, but there hasn't been a single one. The only prosecutions they have carried out is of people who successfully smuggled stuff on board in an effort to embarass them into admitting they are entirely incapable of preventing people from smugglng stuff on board, but whom of course never posed a real threat to anyone.

The language of this post is just filled with distoritions, half-truths and misleading statements -- they really do have a very special "way with words"

You should have asked one of their cow-workers.

Here's one of my favorites from the blog posted today:

"....If you had any clue why most of these policies are implimented you would understand. But since this country seen an almost complete collapse of the Airline industry after 9-11, releasing even a tenth of the intellegence would surely cripple the industry to the point of no return...."

Yes, it was. Relax! :)

We don't release those details Citizen, because that would give the terrists too much information about all our layers.

Trust us, we have caught very many people with intent to harm aviation, conducting probes and dry runs, using forged identities and so on. Rest easy Citizen, the TSA is On Guard 24/7.

Perhaps this also: I assumed it meant all the guards are clones.

For all intensive purposes, I love this thread :D
