... Eek

I used it correctly! (I looked it up to make sure.) the Latin translation only includes the prepositional phrase, not the verb. Razz

oh my god! what's wrong with people? is it so hard to pick up your trash? ooh, ooh, or not throw it on the ground in the first place!

What a jerk!

I know many places offer small freebies, like coffee at convenience stores, to cops and the like, but that's a bonus, not something they should demand! Someone acting like that, I wouldn't be inclined to give them anything either.

what I can't believe is that he actually threatened them with delayed emergency responses!

Woman Finds a Snake in her Washing Machine

And not just a snake. And eight-foot reticulated python.

In Maine.

eek! I've had snakes in my basement before - not in the washer, but usually underneath or behind it - but NOT anything eight feet long! longest was about 3 feet long and I never saw the actual snake, just the shedded skin.

But they were all either black snakes or garter snakes - I've never seen a python that wasn't someone's pet. Oh and I live in the country too, so it's not unusual to get critters in the house. The funniest was the squirrel who ran up the stairs and through the kitchen to run smack into the window next to the door.

yeek. I'm gonna be wary about washing my clothes now!

Once more into the "Idiots" file.


quote:

Savage outraged the autism community recently by saying 99 percent of children suffering with autism are "brats" and "morons" on his national syndicated radio show.

During the July 16 edition of his show, Savage claimed that autism is "[a] fraud, a racket. ... I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is. What do you mean they scream and they're silent? They don't have a father around to tell them, 'Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot.' "



An idiot with airtime.

I want to break things. Mad

Can I help you?

Can I also add, that's not my definition of a father! More like a demented drill sergeant.

Is this Dan Savage from Savage Love we're talking about? This sounds a bit out of character for him to bash an entire group indiscriminately like that.

*edit to add* Oh, conservative radio jock. Definitely NOT the description of a gay man who writes a sex advice column.

Dan Savage has a six year old son and a husband. He had done a piece on "This American Life" about convincing his son it was OK for his Dad's to get married.

I'm swerving between livid, itchy-fisted anger and sheer, gaping amazement at the level of ignorance he displays.
If I could just sew his mouth shut, that might be a good solution. It'd stop him spraffing any more complete, nonsensical shit onto the airwaves, at least.

I'm always curious about these people, if they actually believe the things they say, or if they're saying them just to have something to say.

If I meet him I might hurt him. I know it should be wrong but it isn't.

No.

I would like to hurt him too, and I'm not feeling the "wrong".

If they don't believe it and are just saying it to get attention and cause a stir I want to hurt them for cynically hurting other people.

If they truly believe it- then I want to hurt them and -then- lock them in a padded cell.

I think I once said I'd like to maroon this guy on an island with Anne Coulter...and then nuke it.

Nah, he'd probably just start a blog unless you did something about his hands, too...

Oh Lord. Idiot man.

And then I think of people like my aunt who use the whole Aspergers/Autism thing to get special exceptions made for a kid who doesn't have it and I want to slap them, cause they're giving idiots like Savage a case.

You are a Leprechaun. I'm not even sure what you are. Whiskey-soaked reports from your baffling Isle of Ire raise more questions than they answer. Are you a dwarf? Where's your pickax? If you're an elf, why don't you cobble? You'd think with all your gold, you could invest in some land, perhaps a title, and improve your station. Instead, you hide it in meteorologically-determined locations. You're getting killed on inflation, little friend!
