I looked at the title, and was trying to decide whether they were beating knives into something or they were beating submachine guns into something.

I think that would depend on whether he turns them on at night. There are several houses in my neighborhood that still have Christmas lights up. Mostly those icicle lights. But they don't turn them on. Probably sometime around Halloween they will turn them on, and I believe that would be too early but maybe that's just me. But leaving them up? I see no problem with that. Unless they're turned on, most people probably wouldn't notice them.

That means you need to get busy tonight, if you want to have a Christmas baby.

18 Australian is only 11.73 US. You're supposed to offer more. Not go backwards.

That sounds like what I said about "if somebody's going to eat it they need to pay for it". Since they would donate it to charity and take it off their taxes, in this case it was the government that was paying for it. We used to have - they might still be around I just haven't shopped there lately - what me and my mother called the "used bread store". The route salesman would take the bread out of the grocery stores, because it was the fast approaching its "use by date", and bring it to one of these stores where it would be sold for half price. I was there one time where a man was filling up the back of his truck with loaves of bread and snack cakes, and I asked the clerk what was going on. This stuff had gone past the "use by date", so they couldn't sell it. And they gave it to this guy. He was a pig farmer. He would come by once a week and load up on out-of-date baked goods. And I recall reading many years back, somewhere up north, bear hunters were getting out of date baked goods and baiting bears with them.

If you change the size of the container, it will change the cooking time. When you're making something for the first time, you really need to follow the recipe exactly. You can experiment once you have more experience with this dish.

Now? On another board they were talking about Green targets. Stuff you can shoot and just leave it there, and it would either biodegrade or get eaten. Neko wafers was mentioned. One guy said he taped cookies to a sheet of cardboard. Just had to take back the cardboard. One guy said he shot icicles, so that was obviously somewhere that wasn't Florida. And then one guy suggested going to the produce manager of the grocery store and asking for fruits and vegetables that were being thrown out because they were spoiled. Back in the '50s or '60s, the store would probably give them to you. Nowadays? I think they would be more inclined to believe that you were going to eat them yourself, or take them down to the homeless encampment, and "if someone is going to eat it then they need to pay for it!!" I doubt they would give them to you nowadays. What y'all think?

Where does it state that civil rights only apply to citizens? I'm going to go back to my earlier examples. The German tourist can go to a Baptist Church. The English tourist cannot be stopped and frisked just because he's English. The Spanish tourist, if he is arrested, has the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. They have these civil rights, not because they are United States citizens, but because they are in the United States. The United States citizen caught with a firearm in Mexico goes to jail. He has no right to bear arms. The United States citizen caught with a pointed blade knife in England goes to jail. He has no right to bear arms. The United States citizen caught with a joint in Malaysia (or is that Singapore?) will probably be executed. He has no United States Civil Rights. Because he is not in the United States. His civil rights disappear when he's in another country. Many Americans don't think that. "You can't arrest me! I'm a United States citizen!!" But they find out that yes I can be arrested for things that are not illegal in this country, and things that they would not be charged with in this country. Because they are not in this country. You may recall that boy/girl basketball player that got arrested in Russia for drugs. He/she did not have any civil rights. It was in Russia.

I only got one 9x13. And I had to go buy it especially to make this recipe. Used to have three or four of them. Don't know where the hell they went.

Sometimes. I've got NBC and CBS. ION, COZI, ME-TV, and GET. A couple of PBS channels, something called jewelry television, three all black channels (shows how long it's been - I thought the only one of them was BET) and another half dozen or so that I don't know what they are because most of the time they're pixelated. In the month or so since I have started watching television again, I find that the only thing I watch with consistency is ME TV. I do miss analog TV. When I was a kid we used to watch channel 4 out of Dothan. It was far away, and it was fuzzy, but you can still make out what was going on. Usually. But with digital tv, if it is not a perfect signal, it pixelates and stops. It might pick up again 3 seconds later, but that 3 seconds is gone. If it had been analog you might could have seen what was going on.

And the recipe that started all of this, it is a casserole cooked in a 9 x 13 pan. If you bump the ingredients by 50%, it ain't going to fit.

I have not watched television in many years. I realized that I was paying something like $150 a month to the cable people to watch Turner classic movies and NCIS. And I already had most of the movies the TCM was playing. So I turned off the cable. The last several years I have gotten by with a DVD player attached to my television set. A month or so ago I finally broke down and bought a digital television antenna. Now I occasionally watch television. And I find that I have been spoiled. First, most of the videos that I watch have closed captioning. I have reached to that time in my life when old age, accompanied by firearms rock and roll and airplane engines have made it difficult to hear. Being able to read the subtitles while they are talking is a nice thing. But the other thing that has spoiled me. The pause button. If I have to go to the bathroom, I pause the video. If I wish to go get another cup of coffee, I pause the video. If I want to think about what they just did on the show, I pause the video. You can't pause the damn television show. I was watching Star Trek tonight. And there is a dog barking. I can't decide if the dog is part of the show, or if it is mine. If it is mine I need to let her in because it's 11:00 and she doesn't need to be barking. So I pick up the remote and I hit the pause button four or five times but the damn thing doesn't pause. And then I realize that I'm not watching a video, I'm watching a television show. Again I am forced to quote the round headed kid.

There is no commandment that says thou shalt not lie. There is one that says thou shalt not bear false witness, which is a very specific type of lie, but there is not one that says anything about lying in general.

Is that bottom one a gun light friction taped to a rock? And if that's not what it is, what the hell is it?

Having recently read how you could make 410 brass cartridge cases using 303 British brass, I picked up a 410 ADC Derringer and loaded it with two 303 Brits. I did not attempt to shoot it - I'm not that stupid. I just wanted to see what it would look like, and if the gun would, in fact, lock up with that ammo in there. It closed and locked fine. And approximately half an inch of Spitzer bullet was sticking out the end of the muzzles. That was an intimidating looking little gun.

To cut the bottom out of it. Don't you see all the little pieces of blue plastic down there? So when you're done, you pick up the milk crate and toilet seat, and the poop stays on the ground.

Because they were lesbians, or because they did drugs? Actually I don't know if they are lesbians or if they did do drugs, but I have heard both. From the media.
