Strange, you called that a rudimentary part of modern culture. Are you 
aware of any territories outside of that which the queen et. al. has 
jurisdiction?

Bad form. Rude and dismissive. Tsk tsk. I guess it's a good way of 
redirecting the argument when you're getting desperate though...

Wrong again. Mere hyperlatinate British public school affectation, & = et,
and, um, all that...

It dawns on me that between Berners-Lee and Hallam-Baker, that the latter,
above, had it's origin in the former?

Naw...

 Now *that's* noise...

Yes, and, apparently, by your inability to parse something that is a
rudimentary part of modern culture, you generated it.

Give me a child until the age of 7, &cet.

Which he spent in Midland, TX.

Being the son of a family of West-Texans myself, he comes by his "bidness"
honestly, as far as I'm concerned.

West Texas is where kids learn to fuck jackrabbits 
by slitting their guts to fashion a pokehole. The jacks' 
death kicking of the cojones is what leaves an urge in 
them as adults to spread the practice to the state, the 
nation, the world, any place to hunt gash.

You thought dove hunting is what drew visitors to the
state. Heh. Think of the joy of hurling inseminated rabbit 
guts at depleted confreres.

*SIGH* Is it really so hard for people to remember that George W. Bush was 
born and educated in Massachusetts? John F. Kerry is more southerner than 
Bush.

Excellent humor, this Hooverismo, got all the usual targets
in his insulting-like-Lenny-Bruce jibe. Probably high on
narcotics like Lenny. Imagined victory turns on losers.

A bit excessive with hyperbole, but that's code by comics.

Remember the CIA Comic from the late 90s? Told hilarious
inside the agency jokes that made everyone outside the
cocoon blanche and puke, sorry, Bob blew coke through
his nose.

That comic has not been heard since 9/11, thanks to
DoD takeover of the howler stage.
