    Do you believe in little green men?

    When news about of crop circles first began circulating, their precision, time of occurrence, and sheer magnitude made them seem unlikely to be man-made - but then, some time later, evidence was brought forth "proving" some of them were hoaxes. I tend to believe most of the crop circles and...

    Dog Fighting? Good God Almighty.

    Void Vick! First: IMHO, intentionally creating situations for sentient creatures to maul each is characteristic of barbarism and therefore, the antithesis of a civilized society. It is particularly heinous when those sentient creatures lack the option of choice. Just for the record: I enjoy...

    Righteous indignation or Ebay nut case?

    Thanks for the intel ShortClara! Sefton, the guy is not only a jerk (please excuse my language), but a stupid rude jerk at that:rage: I also think you need to leave feedback so those of us who prefer civil business transactions will know to steer clear. It is good to know that one can...

    Out of the Humidor: The sad demise of pipe smoking

    Good to know there I am not the only "chick" who enjoys a bowl here, there, now, and again - even though it is done undercover. :mad: The article captures very well the aromas and joys of smoking a pipe. All the wonderful attendant rituals: filling, lighting, tamping, cleaning, storing, etc...

    Robbery gone awry, ends with group hug

    A soft answer . . . In seventh grade, I had a teacher who posted quotes throughout the classroom. The one that was intriguing enough to stay with me to this day was, "a soft answer turneth away wrath." As a one whose realism is often just downright cynicism, I will say that in those too...

    Conversation: A Lost Art

    It all depends on how one defines conversation. Conversation is about the communication of keeping company. Okay, I cheated and checked with Webster for that one ;) Thus, cell phone chatter, the dramatic interchange of texting, celebrity gossiping, etc are all conversation. Having...

    I have been diagnosed with a serious condition.

    If these seven or so pages are the result of Andykev's infectious hesternopothia, then truly the contagion has doomed us all to anachronistic sparring over aprons and domestic chores. <pause> unless this a spin-off or spill over from the Stream of Consciousness thread?

    Second coolest video

    Another look on perspective That was a lot of fun!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap I, like everyone else probably, knew what the trick was about, but was still surprised at the eventual revelation. . . . and then, of course, there was the music - "it's all right, baby; yeah, it's all right now."

    The coolest video.

    Awesome! The technique, the music - just splendid.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap My focus also began with the eyes, but moved to the mouth, and then the forehead. Absolutely fascinating. I could not myself engage in the discussion about beauty since the creator limited their selections to...

    Two Rivals - You choose!

    Reluctantly, I'd have to go with the Volkswagon. When I think of acquiring an automobile, my first thought is safety. There are just too many careless drivers out there for that not to be a primary concern. Therefore, I want one that my passengers and I will walk away from after an...
