“Professor Rape!” “No.” “Professor death!” “No.” “Professor Anthrax!” “I like it!”
“My hovercraft is full of eels.” “Do you waannnt to go back to my place, bouncy-bouncy?”
Mallery, I was suggesting that Indian innovation is superior to that of Chinas, not that it is superior to the US.
The US may have some old ghost towns, but they don’t build brand new cities on credit for a 1/4 of million people that are never inhabited. Or the worlds largest shopping mall that is 99% unleased. Only a centrally planned corrupt government can pull this off.
@Der:
USA by far. Andrew Sisters, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland - game over!
I’d have to agree completely, but you left out Swing, Jazz, Jive and Big Band.
Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Glenn Miller, etc. that music still works.
France had Edith Piaf, but otherwise I don’t think many would choose Wagner over The Duke.
Tipperary was WWI.
I hope I am not the only one here going to the WBC this year. The week long gaming convention features literally hundreds of incredibly fun boardgames. Axis and Allies is among the largest game played there, with scores of players participating in a 6 game swiss match.
The WBC lasts from Tuesday, July 29 to Sunday, August 3. The Axis and Allies matches are played throughout Wedsday and Thursday. Its a blast, and I highly encourage anyone who is free that week head down.
The convention is held outside of Baltimore, Maryland, at the Hunt valley Inn. information about signing up and joining can be found at:

If your going, reply here. I’d love to get a game going between site members.
Witches ride brooms because Nature abhors a vacuum!
Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures.
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz.
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal -
For thou art with me;
Thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of The Starbucks.
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the House of Mocha forever.
Our lager who art in barrels, hallowed be thy drink.
Thy beer doth come, I will be drunk, at home as in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head, and forgive us our spillages
as we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not to incarceration, but deliver us from hangover.
For thine is the beer, the bitter, and the lager, forever and ever.
Barmen.

Feeling Stressed Out?
Picture yourself near a stream.
Birds are softly chirping
in the crisp cool mountain air.
Nothing can bother you here.
No one knows
this secret place.
You are in total seclusion
from that place
called “the world.”
The soothing sound of a
gentle waterfall
fills the air
with a cascade
of serenity.
The water is clear.
You can easily
make out the face
of the person
whose head you’re
holding
under the water.
