Aaaahhh-hahahahah

Oh this is awesome. On CNN, the spokseman or whatever for Iran was criticizing France for announcing that war would be forthecoming should Iran get nukes. Even Iran thinks they are... well, let me use the exact quote:

Hosseini also said that the use of "convulsive words" ran counter to "the historical, cultural and civilizational dignity and position of France," according to IRNA.

AHHHH-HAHAHAHA! Now that is funny!!! Well, to me at least. I would have imagined my fine Sailaway and Giu would have some interesting comments too!

HAHA!

Did they put "civilizational dignity" and "France" in the same sentence, really?

It's because they actually eat frog's legs, was always my understanding.

I cannot believe sailaway and Giu did not respond to this. I thought surel I would get some kind of remark. Alas, I feel TDW has had his way on our poor old republican and he has now slipped into a French loving democrat. At least Hillary will get us all free healthcare for 110 million/year. I just don't understand why no one else has thought of that (smirk).

I am afraid, my compadres, that should she become president, I will no longer be able to perform my duties as Catalina rep and sailnet moderator. I will need to resign both as the internet is not available on the moon. I actually thought about just going to the farthest reaches of Antarctica, but am afraid the chill from her being in office may reach me there also. Only the moon is an option at this point.

I will hand over all my reigns to Bestfriend. Because, when she gets in office, everyone will need a Bestfriend!!!

Hey CD-

At least if Hillary gets elected, that should offset the global warming problem a bit.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Do you really think she will get in?


Have you seen the South Park episode about voting for the new school mascot? The choices for new school mascot are a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich.


I think it is Kyle who believes there has got to be a better choice. He refuses to vote for either a Douche or a Turd.

His Father instructs him, that when voting your choice often comes down to a Douche or a Turd. There simply is not anything your going to be able to do about it. You have to make a decision. Will it be a Douche or will it be a Turd.
Those are your only two choices.
