Comment Of The Day: Libertarian Sexts Edition
What is liberty? Where does the freedom to eat your neighbor's cat intersect with, er, your neighbor's cat? No one can ever know. It is ineffable and unknowable, like fuckin' God, man!
But we can know about commenter Nesnora's date with a Libertarian, in response to today's brilliant and wonderful and insightful and just plain fuckin' terrific post What We Learned From The Nice Libertarian Fellows At 1: 30 In The Morning In A Detroit Hotel Bar, and that is that dating a Libertarian has one side effect. Pure Fear.
Congratulate Nesnora, everyone, and then be sure to sidle up and cop a feel.
Barb, the best thing to do with trolls is ignore them. I know that's hard (and I've certainly wasted plenty of electrons trying to argue with 'em, usually when I'm a bit likkered up). But ultimately, it's a waste of time. This is a realization I come to about once a week. ;>)
Turning to the subject of grandbarbies, if Mina manages to stall things for another couple of weeks, does that allow her aorta to improve, or is it emergency surgery no matter what? Please forgive me, and ignore it, if this is too invasive a question.
BTW, although my avatar hasn't changed recently, my screenname has. I was formerly George Spelvin / Skullfry, and before my self-immolation, ShaveTheWhales. One of the reasons I changed from George was that I couldn't figure out how to properly incorporate "Barb" in to the nym. Now, I can see two easy possibilities, but I think I'll just leave it implied.
Best wishes to you and your growing family tree.
Seriously OT, but <a href="http:\/\/www.newsdaily.com\/stories\/bre85b022-us-cuba-boxing-stevenson\/" target="_blank"> this cat was hella boxer</a>
I am not, generally, a boxing fan, but I was mesmerized during three Olympics watching Teofilo Stevenson. So were his opponents. The guy stalked around the ring with his right hand cocked, jabbing with his left. If the opponent never countered the jabs, he&#039;d lose on points. What more often happened was that the opponent did, sooner or later, counter, get slightly out of position, and get KO&#039;d by the hammer of Teofilo.
What fascinated me was that all the other guys KNEW that they were either going to get out-pointed or knocked out. You could see it in their body language. And they all chose KO. Boxers, eh?
FWIW, IMO, Ali would have beaten him.
