I’d blow my top too.) ……. or putting up with your cousin jennie’s little snotballs who won’t keep their hands off your shit and have already broken three vases while stumbling across you and the wife’s secret chest o’ fun toys under the bed…. while I will be peacefully nestled in the midst of a dolby digital 5.1 setup safe from the noise of the world and enjoying myself….. aaahhhhh. that’s nice. so…. enjoy your turkey, enjoy your tday football matches, enjoy your family squabbles…. me, i’ll take my annual movieday festival which falls on or around the 2nd to last thursday of november every year…. i haven’t really been counting but i THINK this is either the 4th or 5th annual couchpotatobutt movieday festival… (name just keeps getting’ longer, don’t it?) i’ll have to ask the wife…. she’s so much better with the whole memory thing….   :: Shaman 11/21/2001 08:13:55 PM [+] :: ... :: Monday, November 19, 2001 :: WORST surprise xmas gift idea of the year - a cell phone. yea, sure, THAT'S what i want, aunt betty! another fuckin' bill cloggin' up my life! oh sure, she might pay for the first six months but face facts - nobody is buyin' you a cell phone and footin' the bill for life. NOBODY. which means at SOME point down the road, YOU are gonna be taking over those bills and writing that monthly check.... what an utterly arrogant gift idea! "well, i own one so my little nephew billy would probably love his own!" no, billy wants a subscription to playboy. or a new baseball mitt. things he'll USE that don't COST him to use. what this has to do with anything, i have no idea. it just hit me while ago watching some commercial on some network television station and i had to get it out. so there. :: Shaman 11/19/2001 08:44:39 PM [+] :: ... :: Saturday, November 17, 2001 :: here's an interesting one.... talks about airport security screeners.... and part of the story had this to say: Mayolino took her job after moving to the United States from Venezuela, a new immigrant grabbing a bottom-rung job. She now is a manager who oversees 350 screener employees, leading them in classroom lectures. She is now a U.S. citizen, and disagrees with a provision in the new law that will bar non-citizens from working as airport screeners. “It’s not fair,” she said. Among those whose job is threatened is Edward Siaw, 23, a recent immigrant from Ghana. -msnbc it's not FAIR??!!...... NOW.... correct me if i'm wrong (which i'm not) but what kind of a fucking MORON would put NON us citizens in the position of airport security screener? follow my logic here - the people who screen at the airport are performing SECURITY tasks for the protection and well being of united states citizens (and, as an incidental as far as i'm concerned, any other yutz who happens to be going on that flight).... why in the HELL would you be willing to put a foreign citizen in that position?!?! they have nothing to lose! THEY'RE not a citizen of this country! if everything goes belly up here, they can always go back home to russia, uzbekistan or wherever! WE live here.... WE work here... WE are citizens here.... THEY'RE NOT! is there ANYbody who's missing my logic here??? (if so, just shut down the computer and go back to fucking your sister.... or brother, as the case may be) and we wonder why most people don't feel comfortable flying right now..... have you SEEN the latest tally of recent security breaches at airports? here, allow me: November 16th - Atlanta - Authorities halted departing flights at Atlanta’s airport and evacuated people from the concourses after a man ran past a security checkpoint and down an escalator used by arriving passengers. November 13th - Chicago - A 76-year-old man was arrested at O’Hare International Airport with two meat cleavers in a carry-on bag. A spokesman for United Airlines says the man is a chef, and the cleavers are tools of his trade. November 13th - Seattle - Scores of flights were delayed and thousands of passengers pulled off planes at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Tuesday after an airport food service worker ignored a metal detector alarm and dashed on to a waiting shuttle train. November 13th - Boston - Massachusetts police forced hundreds of Delta Air Lines passengers from the gate area at Logan International Airport Tuesday after it was discovered that a security guard had left her checkpoint unattended for up to four minutes. November 3rd - London - Police at Gatwick Airport arrested four British men for arriving in London from Orlando, Fla., for carrying weapons in their checked luggage. The weapons included a "particularly vicious" combat knife, pepper spray, a stun gun and several sets of brass knuckles. (are you reading between the lines there? they made it OUT of the us WITH all that nasty shit!) November 3rd - Philidelphia - A U.S. Airways pilot allegedly told a security screener he had a gun in his bag, causing a terminal at Philadelphia International Airport to be shut down for an hour and a half. A security company official says the pilot was irritated that a screener had confiscated a nail clipper from his bag. (the pilot should've been taken out back and ass raped by a large man named tiny.... there's NO excuse for stupidity, esPECIALLY from airline employees... when will these people start to realize that these new strictures and regulations are protecting THEM more than anyone?!) November 3rd - Chicago - Two knives were confiscated from Subash Gurung at O'Hare International. However, Gurung was allowed to continue to the gate area with a plastic bag containing seven more knives, a stun gun and a container marked "tear gas-pepper gas." Those items were discovered by United Airlines workers who searched his luggage at the gate. and the list goes on and on and on..... scary, huh? if THIS is what you're hearing NOW, imagine what was going on BEFORE the airport security clampdowns began! now THAT should REALLY scare you.............   :: Shaman 11/17/2001 09:44:18 AM [+] :: ... :: Friday, November 16, 2001 :: uh... well... it looks like they got osama's second-in-command..... unfortunately, OSAMA'S STILL ALIVE! i don't know about the rest of the world but i couldn't give a shit less WHO they kill if his name doesn't end in "bin laden"!!! ya think there's any chance dubya will eventually master the ability to keep his eye on the TARGET???!!! me, i doubt it. :: Shaman 11/16/2001 02:36:29 PM [+] :: ... okay, THIS is just flat out fucking sick..... first off, a 12 year old has NO business watching the godfather trilogy (at least the average 12 year old)...... second off, if the director had wanted it to be seen in such a manner, HE WOULD'VE CREATED TWO VERSIONS! if you think it's obscene or over the line, DON'T FUCKING WATCH IT! why is it that the average american feels this sick, twisted need to protect their child from seeing what the world REALLY is like? bible-thumpin', sick, misguided idiots.   :: Shaman 11/16/2001 12:06:38 PM [+] :: ... :: Thursday, November 15, 2001 :: “We are hopeful for God’s help,” Taliban leader Omar added, speaking through a Taliban intermediary by satellite telephone. “The real matter is the extinction of America.

(and i'm not even gonna scream)..... have you noticed the little "don't do this" sign at your pump lately? actually they changed these a couple of years ago but i realize that most people never "read the fucking manual" so why would a gas pump be any different..... so, as i was saying, they say something to the effect of "don't smoke - vapors bad, sparks badder" AND "please turn off any battery powered devices before pumping gas".... see, your phone is powered by..... a B-A-T-T-E-R-Y..... which is full of... electricity (just giving some of the reading audience a moment to catch up... you know who you are.... then again, maybe you don't.) .... SO..... electricity can produce ... sparks! sparks ignite... gas vapors! so quit using your phone at the pump...... okay, i'll grant you - the odds of it being a problem or causing the gas vapors to ignite are low indeed..... BUT.... i would say the same thing about smoking at the pump.... i'm the first to admit that in my younger, dumber days many was the time i kept puffing away whilst filling the gas tank.... and i never blew up.... well, there was that one time checking the tanks with a lighter, but that was a horse of a different color..... BUT the point is, i don't smoke at the pump anymore.... because i'm smart enough to realize that the chance DOES exist...... and wouldn't that just SUCK to be killed by answering your cell phone? that'd make a nice obit in the local paper.....

The United States has begun using the biggest conventional weapon in its arsenal over northern Afghanistan, NBC News has learned, dropping two BLU-82 “daisy cutter” bombs last weekend on troops of the ruling Taliban militia. Use of the 15,000-pound bombs — which leave craters as wide as five football fields — marked a dramatic increase in firepower over northern Afghanistan aimed at helping the opposition Northern Alliance launch a major offensive in the north. The 12-foot-long BLU-82 — whose nickname comes from the distinctive daisy-like pattern of destruction it leaves behind — is so enormous that the only way it can be delivered is to drop it by parachute out the back of a modified MC-130 cargo plane, according to its Pentagon specifications sheet. The bomb — 80 percent of which is explosive material — sprays a mist of chemicals over a large target area and then ignites it in a devastating explosion. It is so powerful that U.S. forces used it to create instant helicopter landing pads after it was introduced in 1970 during the Vietnam War, and it can clear large minefields by detonating every mine with its massive concussive blast. NBC News’ Jim Miklaszewski reported that two of the bombs were used on Taliban troops in the north, where the United States is inserting members of the special forces to coordinate with opposition commanders. - msnbc :: Shaman 11/05/2001 09:08:08 PM [+] :: ... hmmm.....

NOT out of the realm of possibility at all...... this is not to say that the letters are fake... not at all.... but I am suggesting some of these cases where they can't find a link or are really stretching on a link may just be a "random" case of anthrax.... which, if not for the current paranoia climate, would probably once have just been diagnosed as a simple virus or respiratory problem etcetera..... it's a thought.   :: Shaman 11/01/2001 12:21:13 AM [+] :: ...
