Saturday Night Thread

First F1 race of the season tonight!

At 8:30 I will be speaking in tongues, contemplating sex with past presidents, in the dark, while doing unnatural acts with certain organic vegtables and fruits.

Whoa dudes or dudets….maybe I’ve not met ya’ll, Mescalero or Wacko, but welcome to the PTT!What’s up with the 8:30 lights out bit????

Okay, okay, I get it. Read the Goddamn blog first!Lights out at 8:30 for global warming.At least Wacko was lurking in the speaking in tongues thread on Friday. Me too, wasn’t quite ready to weigh in as it’s a close to home subject for me.Big time snow coming down in KC!

God, I love this, total blog domination tonight! I’m on beer #2 and just finished an email to my lawyer about some tax shit.TMI…for you, well, get used to it! Until the regs show up I’m going for it.

Had interesting chats at the ole FB this morning with Ady, CMcK, Kat and my everloving baby sister about teh speakin’ in der tongs…ya’ll are a good support system dats fer sure.

That’s 4 in a row, whose going to bust me out of here? Who’s your daddy?Where’s Redmond when you need ‘im?

Bob’s gonna block me any minute unless ya’ll show!Big snow in KC. Flood retarded in Fargo. Tornados rippin’ roofs off all around the south.Michelle DeBauchman is spewing froth again….somewhere I’m sure.

I’m just posting a comment so bj’s not talking to himself.

>> At least Wacko was lurking in the speaking in tongues thread on Friday. Me too, wasn’t quite ready to weigh in as it’s a close to home subject for me.Well, you’re beered up now. GO!

bjritz -I’m going to go watch a movie in the dark, I’ll be back afterwards.Since I’m living in burning tire redneck land, I’ll have to keep an eye out for out of control brush fires.bbl

Bachmann Overdrive

“For what pisses off the Democrats, it really energizes that conservative base she has,” said Lawrence Jacobs, a political professor at the University of Minnesota. “This is not a strategic politician. This is a movement conservative. She’s a true believer.”

Did any one wake up out there?

Sweet, there is a GDAMPTT! Yeah!Yes I’m wacko too tonight!@ Redmond, love ya bro and so does Kat, Oops spilled der beans.@ El and Git, thanks for the support.Burning tires are a problem, but then so are burning neocons, burning Palinistas, burning Foxarati, etc….

Lurkers…I have becime a believer. I am now sure that someone somewhere is reading my posts and using them …someone somewhere…yea thats right GWB was tapping my phone and KO is using mu blog for material.Yea…rightttttt!!!!

Hey, TS, Great to see ya! You’re definitely a troll of a different color. Must get to firefox so the spell checker will work. Why don’t you link to mu blog?

TS what are you talking about?

Truthy,Someone IS reading your posts… most of the people who follow the GDAB do. How they react depends on the stupidity of the post in question.GWB wasn’t tapping your phone…but believe it or not, your phone company was very likely (at the least) collecting your calling data for the Dept. of Homeland Security.Now – as to Keith Olbermann using your blog for material? Not so much. I think you’re safe on that one.

B to the J, I love you guys, too.And now to drink some beer and watch Quantum of Solace. With the lights out. (See? I’m earthy. Kind of.)

Ok, I’ll check in later, wife wants to watch Nora Roberts movie…what we do for love.Geez Bob I love teh “POSITION FLEXIBLE! Your comment submission failed”Sweet! I goofed and got a Palin smackdown!

Redmond: Close to home on the speaking in tongues subject? Want to share? Seriously. This one is close to home for me too – in both good and very bad ways.QT

QT,So true, and close to me as well.I was not quite ready to dive yesterday, but, now three beers down (I know you don’t imbibe, no dis intended) I could go a round on it now or wall to wall on FB.beej

If I use only battery power on the nuttop(commonly referred as laptop) and cell phone for an hour does that count?

It counts other redmond. But if you’re using the nuttop you can effect your s-count. Push that bad boy (laptop) out to your knees.

s-count needs to go away! I produce multiples when I conceive. God/Allah/FSM all hate me and gave me twin daughters. Nothing is wrong with the daughters just the quantity was off.

hey redmond, let me know if Quantum of Solace is any good.I hope it counts, Joe. I’m not sure I’ll be able to turn my lights out – I’d be a nervous teenager home alone in the dark.

Oh…It is on my knees. HA!

Fe, WTF is your family shotgun(AK47)?

we don’t do guns here, GI. We’re prissy liberals.actually we’re my mom and I alone in the country, and she works night shift so…I’m fucked.

Well, GItheShotgun, the older ya git, the AK goes to a derringer.

My room is dark enough.

Well get one before the wingnuts are the only ones with guns. Jesus, being a doormat for tanks is not a prerequisites to be a liberal.

Earth Hour!QT

I see lights going out all over the east coast. We midwesterners have another hour before turning down the lights.

Cripes. I’m stuck at home… if anyone lives near the Mid-Hudson bridge, can they report on Earth Hour if the bridge went dark? Pictures??? GAH!QT

hey guys! i haven’t left my house today…HIGH FIVE!i love ritzy when he’s on the sauce! hehe…on the lights out thing. i have unplugged everything in my home. republicans suck my one hour no energy consuming ass! i popped a couple mini marshmallows and am letting my heart guide me in the dark through the intertubs. (which means i will be into porn in 10 minutes) just want to say that all day i (bored out of my mind) have been searching blogs trying to find something like the gdab! i couldn’t find ONE! not a nary(?!) nil zip zilch ONE! bob is special! what he does is special! the way he thinks, acts, sincerely cares, writes IS special. the way he wittingly cuts to the core of issues, policy, the crazy, etc in a “this is what the hell is going on guys” way can not be duplicated! (well, it’s him and taibbi! hehe) i found the gdab in nov. 08 and there hasn’t been a day that i can recall that i haven’t checked in on it! and the people here are the cherries on top! smart funny forward thinking people who swear like sailors (most of us) but would give you the shirt off their back. cliche! i know! but it’s the truth! i am so glad i found the bob, this blog, and our little community! love you guys!ok that is my sap!BOOBIES!!!!!!

Apparently none of my neighbors got the memo.Also: Why TF does my keypad not have some kind of backlight? It’s frickin dark in here.

Don’t worry, Fe, the Earth hour is an awareness event and I know that you are very aware of global warming. You don’t need to sacrifice your peace of mind to help Gaia.

aw, thanks, minx. I’ve missed you, darlin’!Hi, Jane.

I KNOW JANE! WTF is that about?! why don’t these litle letters light up?!

wassup UIG.

ladies, you could use a well-placed flashlight.

fe, that’s what she said.

Hey bitches!If you take the battery out of you vibrators for a minute you can plug it into your nuttop and the keypad will light up.

The God™ I could not have picked a better time to post that last comment.

gi, i would if i wasn’t using my vibrator as well! ohhhh bam! bang! boom! i’ll walk myself out!

I’ll paraphrase Jane: the early devolution into sex jokes is a bad omen for this thread.

God I lurv when the ladies go all flashlight and shit!

It’s actually quite romantic in my house with the lights off….candles lit….and I expect I will be following Gyps’ path any moment now…

Did I really say it was a *bad* omen?

I can help you with that vibrator thing, Gyps, found one on the net today that’s solar powered! In Wisconsin, I can never use it!

Candle light makes everything look better. I have used it a number of times when I was hunting for the mythological female orgasm.

hey who’s hand is that?!

Jane,Glad you’re home. Mr. Sodium Pentothal (aka TruthSerum) and I will be over shortly so I can pick up the key to the torture chamber. I’ll be needing the minority whip as well.

And I’ve used candle light while hunting for…oh, probably shouldn’t have done that.

i love the flicking of candlelight! mmmmm….the sex! i feel like my nasty talk is coming! and it’s all “one hour lights out” fault!

Woooohhhhhhh.Did someone say BOOBIES?Oh, the gangs all here.Greetings Cescans!

CC, I will prep the Enhanced Pleasure room for you, and break out the “special” toys.

I would also be delighted to give you the shirt off my back, BabyBoo, or vice-versa…

Use the majority whip on him also, CC.

Okay, I’ll evolve back into the gentleman.Thank you gyps for the visual and intellectual stimulation of the blog search for GDABness. Glad you didn’t find the uniqueness of our community.QT, if the lights are not out on the bridge it’s the fault of Republocrats.GIthelaptopScrototty, bee carefull.Gosh we (packy & me) drove off the TrollSeruminski fairly quick as well.And Jane, you intellectually honest free thinker glad to have you here as well, have a virtual mint julep.

i’m going to feel either “let down” at 9:30 or like a “dirty whore”! hehe…

*shows up in blaze orange with deer call*I have been hunting this legendary beast for 12 years now and it has escaped me every time. It is no good to me if it is dead.

It’s not dead, Joe. What kind of gun are you using? You’ve gotta use the proper weaponry.

minxy, i’ll take that shirt, just so i can see your big boobies!

CC– You & Truth Serum? What the hell happened while I was gone?!? Outside of major sun burn(I’m sure y’all are tired of hearing about that!) & Git checking out my boobies…

bjritz and Minxy,TruthSerum is here with me, courtesy of the Cesca re-routing service and Jane’s Gimps. We’re going to try his *own medicine* on him tonight.

We don’t seem to get many trolls that are not just drive-bys. Troll and run. No fun.We get a lot of wrong wingers that just don’t seem to realize that they lost the election. They want us to return to the policies that launched us off a cliff.At least TruthSerum has fortitude and tenacity (if not much else).

Kat,It is a gas operated, 5.56mm, air cooled, magazine feed, can be fired from the shoulder weapon.Oh…that is my M16Sorry, the normal white guy weapon and tactics. Olive Garden, movie, lots of alcohol, really bad dancing, and some drugs.

Okay, a serious question to my friends on the left side of the fence. What is the liberal stance on Obama’s plan to increase more troops in Afghanistan and possibly extend military operations into Pakistan?Won’t this suck us further into a true quagmire of greater magnitude than Vietnam? The Vietnamese were fighting for political reasons and their war ended when North and South Vietnam became one country. The jihad has no borders and no end game.

Goddamn, it is dark in here.This is going to make me talk to the GF.

Kat and I were chattin’ that up today on the FB.We need to have a we don’t beat up on trolls day on the blog as long as they will be intellectually honest, otherwise fuck ‘em.

Be very proud of those boobies minxy. You look very nice from the rear view as well.

It helps not to have nursed babies, Gypsy-Boo, and to have a great bra! My mom always complained if her bras cost more than $3.00 (she’s 68, so this is a while back). I have always believed that a bra should feel great & make you feel like a complete lovely slut. Support yer girls! The investment is worth it!

Good idea about using the snake whip, Kat.”In the 19th and early 20th centuries, cattlemen in Australia and the USA, living and working in areas where violence was common, sometimes owned snake whips for protection: not for whipping, but for cracking skulls!”

truth, if you act like an adult I will tell you.

I’m all for maximum punishment, CC.And Joe, ixnay the Italian food. Heavy pasta = bad hunting.

Wow! Thanks, Git! *blushes & smiles & giggles*For you, Gypsy-Boo! *Takes off shirt & gives it to Gyps*

TSIf the goal is to eradicate Al Quida (sp?) then what else can be done?Personally, I want to see some sort of time limit. Track those assholes into whatever caves they flee to and whack ‘em. But you only have two years. If we had proper intelligence operatives we could hunt them done and execute them without anyone knowing it was happening. We stopped deploying those types of intelligence agents. We decided that listening to everyone’s phone calls was a better (less messy) way to do things.

tell me about it, minx. I have d’s and I’ve never had a good bra – it sucks. Plus, I wanna feel pretty!

Kat, “Time, type of food, winter or summer solstice, and UPS outfit” I am keeping a list.

Fuck it, I’m keeping my lights out. Moar beer!

CC, use the “special” toys, they’re Earth Friendly! Truth Serum will have to peddle on a stationary bike to power ‘em up! I love the idea of giving this person some truth. Can I help? I’ll wear the CatWoman suit.

Jane, you are not being a good hippie. How are you going to change the world if you can’t go an hour without TV?

Me too, Jane! This is very conducive to my imagination.Joe, we can keep the list going if you want. And really, the UPS outfit is completely optional.

5 minutes to Earth Hour in the Midwest! *turns off lights, trips & falls on boobs*

SRFG….it becomes a slippery slope. We (the US) recruit indigneous operators to provide information and identify the bad guys. We (Special Forces, etc) extract these bad guys to “question” them and badda bing badda boom we have Gitmo redux.

I want my uterus knocked out!!

Seruminski, President Obama is using diplomacy and troops a combo that will be better than the bomb the shit out of them only.In Iraq we broke the infrastructure and deprived people, children of water. In Afgan… and Pakis… we may be able to use infrastructure building to sway hearts and minds.One mentality that will be different is that the liberal viewpoint is that what the people think in those two countries is important and we’ll listen to them.

minxy- WOWZA!!! DING DING DING!!! MOMMA!!! as i was surfing the political blogs today i came across a comment stating that instead of starting a war with iraq, etc. we should have just slammed them with “america”! hehe… jeans, t-shirts, tube tops, tennis shoes, ford mustangs, fast food, the movie waterboy, country music and the list went on! it was funny as shit and i think it would have been more damaging to them and cost us less money!

In other assorted random news, I went and saw “Duplicity” this afternoon. Not a spectacular movie, but it did remind me of just how hot Clive Owen really is….I mean, really, really hot.

Turned my lights out for an hour.Great! I balanced the carbon foot print of operating Al Gore’s private jet for all of 1/198,000th of a minute.When do we cap the salaries of move moguls and athletes? Lets shut down major league baseball for a season to save energy (and boost our stock of growth hormone and testosterone).And what should I do about the rash in my bathing suit area? It itches! Yow!

Shorter TS: blah blah sajdhgf jgfg ui thwiutyui wk hy jkdzsg h hkghak jskh kg u;ytoq Q

TSWe found common ground. I agree with you on this.

Kat: I prefer Clive Owen with some scruff. Was he clean-shaven throughout the movie?

Fe, Please go by yourself or with Mom & get fitted to make sure your bra is right for you. Go to a department store with a decent lingerie dept. & find one of the really old ladies. Ask her for a fitting. Get what she recommends. It’s worth it, sweetie. There are beautiful bras in all sizes!

Pretty much, fe, but still hot. Although I think he and Julia Roberts were sexier in “Closer.”

just turned my lights on and found all my animals in their beds like it was “nite nite”! cutest little things ever!

Minxy, I’d love your help, but I don’t think the CatWoman suit will (ahem) fit.

I agree with you, too, TS. Major league sports has become too idolized in this country & those men (not women, ever!) are being paid way too damn much for very little return. I prefer high school sports, much more heart and real competition.

ATTN LADIES! the bob just stated he is half-italian! HALF-ITALIAN LADIES!!!!!!

thanks, minxy, you’re a sweetie.I think Clive Owen was at his hottest in Children of Men.

gyps: what kind of animals do you have?

Truth,As someone that will probably go to Assholistan, I have a conflict of values/interest with this idea.One, I served in a bullshit war of choice and would like to serve in the “Good War”(look it up).Two, the Russians tired to beat the Afghans and it didn’t work for them. Plus, they tried a total war(look that up too).So, I would like to kill/stop the assholes from planning more terrorist attacks(even though I don’t believe they had anything to do with the first one but they are brown people and must be stopped).Third, if my President asks me to go, I WILL. I really like his diplomatic approach and some government cooperation.

CC, I’ll wear the CatWoman suit. I may need Gyps’s help to remove it, though, Bring the Mango-Passion Fruit Cocoa Butter.

ATTN Ladies: I AM HALF IRISH!

I think. Remember great grandmama was a logging camp whore.

I could be wrong, but I think the Russians had the Afghans beat until the US started giving the mujahideen rocket launchers.

Shut up, Joe. I’m busy with Minxy, cocoa butter, and the CatWoman suit.

gi, colin farrell irish or conan o’brien irish?! big difference! HUGE difference!

hey guys? Has anyone else been having trouble with the main page of this goddamn awesome blog showing comments and when you click on the page there isn’t a comment? I remember fe saying something a while ago…how do I fix it?thanks

fe, go look at my photos on the face. i can have anywhere from 1 to 5 animals with me at any given time!

fe, I’ll be checking up on you, so please do it for your own comfort & just to feel pretty!On a different note, I LOVED Pierce Brosnan in the opening sequence of “Mamma Mia.” He can’t sing at all, but he made the tight jeans look great on the tuchis!

mmmmmm to both, gyps.

Vera, shift+F5. Repeat if necessary. I dunno why TF that happens either. (no geek cred)

thanks jane!

I’m too broke for new bras now, minx. my problem’s not the measurements anyway, I’m definitely a 34D.also: omg you just said tuchis.

ATTN LADIES! the bob just stated he is half-italian! HALF-ITALIAN LADIES!!!!!!The important follow-up question here, Gyps, is: which half?

gypsy: I already knew. One of the rare times Bob and I disagreed, I found out that Cesca was Italian of some sort. And duly noted that as the likely source of his tall dark and hotness.QT

Also, Bob, and Joe: What’s the other half?

Ricky Gervais on Graham Norton tonight

hilarious page or most hilarious page ever?

That is funny shit, fe. My fav: “War on Terror.” I swear, Obama’s first executive order should make it illegal for Americans to utter that phrase without appending eye-rolls and fart sounds.

btw, the reason the last panel is empty is because the artist said he’d stop writing on Obama’s inauguration day.if you have some time to kill and you want to giggle more than you knew you could, go back to the first page and go through the archive. hilarious.

Herro, hippies! It[s difficult to feel positive about Afghanistan. Nobody, and I mean nobody has ever had any luck in occupying and maintaining stability there. Alexander the Great took years to try, married an Afghan princess, got some relative calm, but never brought the region under control. He declared “victory” and headed off to India. His army was so worn out by this region, that they had nothing left in them to do much more.The British were mostly massacred twice in the 19th century twice when they tried. The Soviets failed. There are some very savage tribesmen there that have waged brutal war with each other and any outsiders for millenia. What makes us think we will have an better luck?

I especially like the time travel pharmacy fe, thanks

dead thread?

fe–There’s always the clearance rack! One of my dearest friends is Jewish, so I picked up some of her expressions. You can’t underestimate the power of a good “Oy Vey”.

Mmmmmmmmmmm cocoa butter

lol, minx. I think I should hit up Nordstrom Rack.you know what word should be yiddish but isn’t? spatula.(I figure if I start quoting west wing, Elvis will pop up.)

queen, what is it like to be adored by your crushes?! mine always ignore me! hehe…

*Minx now trips over Zoe the cat & lands on her generous tuchis (Minx’s, not Zoe’s)*. Only 7 minutes to go on Central Time.

I LOVE the word spatula! And I adore you, Gyps…I also have been using the word “verklempt.” Useful in many situations…

i heart the minxy fo life! muah!

spatula – my favorite weapon.No one expects the spanish spatula.

Troll wrote:>>>I balanced the carbon foot print of operating Al Gore’s private jet for all of 1/198,000th of a minute.Al Gore purchases carbon offsets which cancel out any carbon footprint he creates. Sorry!

*Muah*!!! To you, Gyps! And, a friendly, non-sexual *Muah*! To fe. Thanks for the link to the funnies & just because you’re you. You amaze me, Fe, in all the best ways. Mainly because you’re smarter than me. I adore your big heart, Gyps, your sharing-slut nature and your gorgeous hair (wish mine looked that good).I really lurve all of you Cescans– as I mentioned once before, you made me care about America again. I have hope.Boobies!!!!

awe, minx, I love you too. I’m constantly flummoxed by your kindness and optimism.

i love when the bob pops in on the ptt! it makes me feel like i have been caught doing something bad! but then i get excited at the same time! and nervous! hehe…

@Teh Bob Cesca— Bwahahahaha!!!!Off to read about the Amish custom of Rumspringa. This starts generally at 14 or so and is literally a time of “running around” for teens before they decide if they want to be baptized in the Amish faith. There is much smoking, drinking, dancing & sexing in the back of farmlands. I was quite surprised to find out how much drinking & drugging was going on during this time.May stop by later…Minx

nite minxy my baby boo! leo getz greatest character EVER! okay okay kay!

Bob came on the PTT? Damn. I should have kept my big mouth shut on the half-Italian thing.

I have this mental image of Bob Cesca sitting at his desk with two or three 22 inch monitors in front of him. He writes on one, searches blogs & YouTube on another, with the third one for just keeping an eye on his threads. Sort of a blogcraft controller in his tower of power.

Wow. The fallout cloud from the AKM outing is even larger than I expected and it’s still growing. Even conservative blogs think that Doogan is an asshat.It appears that Doogan violated at least two AK ethics laws for elected officials. So far AK does not have a good record of enforcing these laws however.

WATCH CNN NOW!!!Micheal Steele opening his sewer. The RNC are going to have to pry his foot out of his ass and mouth.

ritzy that is EXACTLY how i see him! except i see the tele with constant news, blog computer, search various sites computer, and a bike up against the wall! hehe…

missed it Joe, what did he say?

Yeah,Yeah, Gore purchasing carbon offsets makes me laugh…. So, as long as you purchase carbon offsets you can use as much energy as you want…sounds like elitism to me Bob… Gore is a hypocritical joke…. so is his mansion… oh, yeah, that’s right he has “greened” it up I have heard…. yep, you got the money honey, I got the time…. er, uh, or is that carbon offsets?……

Someone needs to purchase a carbon offset for that last comment.

Git – Daily Kos has a good piece on it.

I love you, Jane.

y’know, I’ve never taken a sixth grade english course, but that read like gibberish to me.

Hey, bjritz, I might be drunk too, but I was wondering if you draw the pictures yourself on FB that are on your profile or show up next to your comments or whatever…you know what I mean. Do you?

I love how the people that worship the GOP which is run by snub elitists that send there children to schools like Andover and Choate and then on to Yale or Harvard refer to Dole as an Elitist.It would be comical if it weren’t pathetic.

Thanks Chris.The Kos article is probably the only one I haven’t read yet. Mudflats latest post has links to about 50 stories listed and I missed DailyKos. It’s there, I skipped it and forgot to go back.

OOOOHHHHH. That’s a different DailyKos article. So now I have two to read at Kos. Thanks again Chris.So far the best single article is Dawn Teo’s at HuffPo.

@ceu, thanks for the link to Rep.Mike.Doogan@legis.state.ak.us the blogophobe. What a dip. Who needs that!@Ady, the last one I drew, but the previous ones I stole off da net. They remind me of my youth when I was actually a stickman.@Redmond, how was Quantum of Solace?

Hey Git, Just a quick stop-by to tell you that I loved coffee-talk with you even though we were interrupted by that strange guy (claimed he was an anthropology teacher–didn’t seem to be all there, so to speak) multiple times. Our visit was one of the best parts of the trip. I hope to do it again when I’m down South. You amaze me with your intelligence & sense of humor– I haven’t laughed that hard in quite a while.Best hugs from Teh Minx

Well, if you were a stickman in your youth, how do we know they’re not actual pics of you then? And if you did draw it, how can I do that too?

The next best thing to read about the AKM situation (after the Teo article at HuffPo) is the open letter to Doogan at DailyKos that ceu linked to above.

Big hugs back to you Minx. I enjoyed it as well. We had a very lovely discussion interruptions or not.I thought he said paleontology. I don’t know what his problem was, but mental health care is severely lacking in the U.S.

Ady, I just did a quick MS Paint drawing and saved it as a jpg and imported it. But, your current pic is so cute. But draw away.@Minx & Git, what is a coffee talk interuptus anyway?

It’s like coitus interruptus, but different. Their coffee talk was interrupted. (which reminds me of the SNL skit).I KNEW it was MS Paint. The picture I have up now is a pic of a self-portrait that I painted myself…

This is the fucking future. I have an associates of applied science(Ford Automotive) and have worked with cars my entire adult life. This video has given me a the biggest permaCHUB ever. Please watch the whole thing.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAYrsEOxqYcIt is fitting for Earth Hour. SFW

Well, Beej, Silly Rat-Faced Git & I were at Starbuck’s in some damn town, Florida, enjoying a coffee & conversation in real life when some mentally challenged individual kept interrupting us to offer strange comments (like Truth Serum!) & ask for advice regarding his mother and his girlfriend. My mom, who was also there, said I should have just ignored the guy, but he seemed to be not mentally “all there” & I didn’t know if he would get violent. So, I just tried to be quick & polite; then physically turned away from the guy to talk to Silly Git. Git & I only spent a couple of hours together & this dude inserted himself (or tried to) into our visit 4 times. Yikes!!!

Hello AdyLeigh! I missed you while I was in Florida!G’Night– As always, anyone who wishes to join me under the Slanket (after a rigorous screening process) for shallow conversation & serious cuddling is welcome…

Yes. Ady is correct. We were limited to coffee and talking. Minx’s mom was sitting about 10 feet away.A fellow that I suspect has some issues kept busting into our conversation. I was trying to fill Minxy in on the hilights of what she missed here in Cescaland while she was on the beach absorbing excessive UV radiation from that big bright yellow thing in the sky.

I liked your version better Teh Minx.I almost lost it when he said that caffein makes people violent. He didn’t really strike me as bipolar, but I do believe that he needs to be medicated for some mental disorder.

It was Riverview FL. Southern Hillsborough County. It’s about halfway between Tampa and Bradenton.

GItheElectricCarJoe, that was awesome, freakin’ awesome. I so want the electric car. There is a couple of companies that have electric motors that replace the motor in a VW bug. Google that.Have you looked at Neil Diamond’s LinkVolt project?

I thought that the LACK of caffeine made people violent or just generally unpleasant. Usually, just kinda pissy, though.Oh, I’ve been to Bradenton, FL, before but I can’t remember why I was there.Hi, Teh Minx, even though you’re probably sleeping already.

BJ, I wanted to build one. But I am going to wait for a cheaper Tesla. It will come. GM can suck my balls with their Volt. It is a fucking HUGE family car made for fat americans and senior citizens. The Tesla is the bomb.

The Tesla rocks.I like your taste Joe.Bradenton is where the Pittsburg Pirates have spring training. Yankees are in Tampa and the Phillies are in Clearwater. The Blue Jays are around here somewhere but I don’t remember where. The Rays are in Lakeland I think (they just move one county east for spring training, maybe they don’t like the Yankees).

The Tesla is hot no doubt.

Seriously, Joe? You’ve got something against family cars? How do you plan to get your gf and daughter(s) around town?The smallness and 2-personness of most electric cars is one of the biggest problems with them, as adorable as most of them are.QT

Also – miserably jealous over the florida get together…when are we planning a GDAB convention?QT

The Electric Datsun was extremely impressive and great to watch smokin’ the vette and bmw… Thanks for the link. Fortunately, there are garage inventors out there finding and creating the way…..screw OPEC.

QT -Tesla will be building a family car. The first machine that they are building is a proof of technology sports car. They want to show that electric performance cars can be built in order to squash the long standing objection to electric cars. Previous electric cars had pathetic performance characteristics at best. Tesla has the technology to produce some very usable electric automobiles. We have to protect them from getting killed by the oil robber barons. If Tesla succeeds there will be many others to follow. Competition enables rapid development. Our tech industries have stagnated for too long while the greed brigade was in profit taking mode.
