    Forget Disneyworld, Obamaworld is the ticket

    Not sure why this would be considered or called Obamaworld, when you take into account this is a result of Congressional legislation that took place before Obama was even a candidate for President. The ESTA is a direct result of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of...

    Ei yi yi... Look what I found while checking the auction sites..

    OK, thanks. That explains why you are able to incorrectly infer the context and content of the post. Actually, "Hey, look what I found!", in conjunction with the phrase you do not understand, is not too far off from the full meaning and usage of the phrase, anyway. Read on, my friend, read on! I...

    Ripples, Racism, Paternalism and :censoredsign: Shame

    That's a personal attack. Aaaaand... that's a troll. Stick to the issues of the post, not the poster. If you want to make it personal, take it to a PM or to another Web site.

    giving drivers a bad name

    The older I get, and the larger my prostate gets, the more I use a pee bottle.

    "How can I kill this man?"

    “Do not think that I came to bring peace on Earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household." Of course...

    Of course, it also puts you considerably closer to the sun, so there is that.

    Ei yi yi... Look what I found while checking the auction sites..

    The answer to that question is meaningless unless you answer my question first. Also, it's rude to answer a question with a question. So, I'll ask it again. What do you infer the meaning of "Ei yi yi" to be?

    Ei yi yi... Look what I found while checking the auction sites..

    Well, I dunno, Witness. I know what the most common inference is, and what I think it is, but let's hear your meaning of "Ei yi yi". Depending your your take on the phrase, the post could be racial trolling, or simply social commentary on racism.

    Ripples, Racism, Paternalism and :censoredsign: Shame

    Well, it was a grand a year (actually, three grand over three years of law school). Ms. Fluke isn't paying much for Georgetown, as she attends on scholarships. She works, but it doesn't pay much. The problem, still, is with that $1000 per year for contraception. According to Fluke, without...

    Oh, you're gonna love Laredo in the summer. Lol

    "How can I kill this man?"

    I just think it's wonderful that something as clear cut (a Moot reference) and unambiguous as the Ten Commandments can also be interpreted by so many people to mean so many things, to suit their needs. It's a downright timeless miracle, is what it is!

    Ripples, Racism, Paternalism and :censoredsign: Shame

    Women can take a small piece of foam, about the size of a hockey puck, and place it between their knees. They simply press their knees together to hold the foam in place. A small coin, like a quarter also works. As long as the foam piece or coin stays tightly between their knees, they won't get...

    March Banter and Location

    The VuCubes (and the new, cheaper and better Tailgater) are 17.5 inches tall, plus whatever bracket you mount them on. The Tailgagter only works with Dish Network, though, and the other VuCubes work better with Dish, as well, since they cannot receive the HD channels on DirectTV.

    TA verus Pilot

    You're quite welcome, and yeah, I saw that .06 thing. Excellent. Every little bit helps. I've done the math elsewhere, but if you get 15 gallons at a PFJ, subtract the .05 (or soon-to-be .06), and then also subtract the retail price of a shower, you will see you are getting quite a discount at...

    How Much Deadhead

    A real world example of that was when I had a load going to Grand Island and they called me while en route to delivery about a load picking up the next morning in Omaha going to Edmonton. 150 mile DH for for 1400 loaded. I turned it down. It paid straight contracted rate with no bonus. They...

    How Much Deadhead

    What you're going through is a process that takes a while sometimes, of learning where the freight is and whether or not taking a load to a place where you'll have considerable deadhead after delivery is worth taking, or worth taking without an additional bonus or something. Sometimes you have...

    TA verus Pilot

    The problem really was the way the poll question is worded. You are asking if people will give up a quasi well-defined and known entity (.05 fuel discount) for an undefined entity ("a" TA program, whatever "a" means). That's like asking someone if they would be willing to give up their current...

    Is Obama scared? Racist?

    Looked at both links, thanks. You keep posting links that confirm the same things I've stated... in order to refute what I've been saying. That's certainly a novel approach in debating your position. Can't say I've ever seen that one before. :D

    Is Obama scared? Racist?

    You're not reading what I'm stating. I never said "absolute", and I never said not open to interpretation (with "interpretation" being a subject noun), I said "interpretative inferences" (with inferences being the subject noun, and "interpretative" being an adjective describing the inferences)...
