People of reason... let's give a toast to this great man! :toast:

[StopTheMorans]

1. i'll toast anyone who applies reason to life situations rather than

relying on woo-woo-ish nonsense :toast:

[Beetwasher]

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

3. Not here.

Here, the rules are different.

[salvorhardin]

8. Now, why would you think that?

:-)

Maybe this will ward them off?

[beam me up scottie]

10. Put down that rubber chicken !

What are you, some kind of pervert ?
You know, it's people like you who make DU look bad.
:evilgrin:

[salvorhardin]

11. but... but... but...

It's an organic, free range rubber chicken! Who could possibly object? What I do with my rubber chicken in my own home is nobody else's business, gosh darn!

[beam me up scottie]

15. Call the police!

He obviously purchased that bird illegally from the evil black market rubber chicken industry.

Have you no shame ?

[LeftyMom]

4. I appreciate anybody who appreciates science and reason.

6. I love him

And think he's great. So did Johnny Carson, his show is where I saw Randi for the first time. :-)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

7. I learned about him in a Carl Sagan book.

Demon-Haunted World if I remember right, although it could have been an earlier book.

9. Did you see the famous Uri Geller episode?

I would LOVE to have that on disc.

[Archae]

12. I have the video file.

But it's 36 megs.

[beam me up scottie]

14. eek!

Did you download it from the internet or purchase it?
If it can be purchased on line hopefully I can find a copy.

[Archae]

18. It can be downloaded here.

But it's a 36 meg file, so it'll take a while.

:toast:

[elperromagico]

16. His exposes of Uri Geller and Peter Popoff alone

make him more than worthy of a toast: :toast:

[swag]

17. I salute his ongoing attempt to annihilate bullshit.

[arwalden]

20. I Think He's Great! --- Woo-woo's Hate Him.

[Modem Butterfly]

26. Woo Woos hate anyone that disagrees with them

They're like Fundies in that way...

[moof]

21. More reality ... less figaments

hope no one thinks that moof will reply to just any Commie Pinko Dirtbag
that "APPEAR" to post a James Randi appreciation thread.

The signs have to all be in the right outhouse.

[greyl]

22. "In a saner place"! roflmfao

Funny stuff.

25. I thought he was murdered by Uri Geller in 2002

John Edwards, Miss Cleo, Uri Geller: Murder Conspiracy?

27. Gotta love Randi

and he puts his (foundation's) money where his mouth is: one million dollars to anyone who can prove they have supernatural powers under a controlled setting.

Houdini used to debunk charlatans, and Randi has taken up the mantle admirably.
