1. This has gotta be the dumbest-looking guy on earth.

He looks defective in every single photograph - as far as I know there are *no* pictures of him looking like he has an IQ higher than that of an oyster.

[Olney Blue]

3. Hey! Why do you hate oysters?

:P

[Kutjara]

2. For Christ's sake...

...he's got a look on his mug like some schoolboy who's just convinced the teacher he didn't set the stinkbomb off in chemistry lab. Stupidity, duplicity and mendacity, all wrapped up in the same bag of shit.

[Faygo Kid]

4. Am I missing something, or is that tie not purple?

Sometimes I don't know what the hell is going on around here. But then, I don't understand much any more anyway.

[Kutjara]

6. The post relates to a photo...

...posted yesterday of Porter Goss in an extremely livid purple tie. One Duer captioned it 'this tie is a cry for help.'

The OP of this thread is indicating that Shrub's tie in this photo is even more garish.

7. Thanks. I am a curmudgeon. I need explanations.

I am still trying to figure out what the hell the song "Bye, Bye Miss American Pie" is all about. Let alone "In the Court of the Crimson King." There was a time. Dammit.

[Kutjara]

8. I think those songs are about...

...the fact that the songwriter smoked a wee bit too much herbal tabacco before sitting down to write them.

They're also about five minutes too long. :)

[Faygo Kid]

9. And your point about a bit of herb smoked would be?

Everybody smoked a bit back In the Day. Haven't had any in years, but it was just part of being a Boomer.

[Kutjara]

10. And many of us wrote songs while doing so.

But most of us had the good sense not to record what we'd written once we came down.

11. What a nice flash from the past!

Mr. Natural! Haven't thought of him in years. :)

Makes me feel good to see that. Nice memories.

[Faygo Kid]

15. Thank you. Made my evening.

Faygokid is always here to add a little life when I can. Like now.

Night and day, you are the one.
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It’s no matter darling where you are
I think of you, Day and night, night and day. . .

17. not everyone, actually. admittedly, I may be in an extremely small

minority, but never did. even smelling the stuff makes me ill (got a contact high headache at the jefferson starship concert yesterday-- but it amused me that the police pretended to be oblivious--the local rag reported on the "elusive" smokers--hell, a couple were right in front of me--and the police came by frequently)

12. Miss American Pie is about 15 minutes too long

IMHO

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. How true!

Gawd how I hate that song. LOL

[karlrschneider]

13. You had to have had a Chevy and lived near a levee.

Or so I've heard. It's been a favorite of mine for 174 years but I didn't have the Chevy either so just ignore my idiotic comment. :D

[jmowreader]

18. 174 years? So you've heard it once...

That song is a bit on the long side.

[Skittles]

14. is that Ashcroft behind him?

whatever the f*** happened to THAT evil bastard?

[jmowreader]

19. I know he likes hanging out with Bob Nardelli...

but that's ridiculous.

Oh my, what an ugly thing that tie is.
