To quote the Bard (somewhat:) To hop, or not to hop, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows and bullets of outrageous Idiots, or, to hop, thereby taking oneself from the line of fire and against a sea of troubles, and by hopping, end them? To die, to sleep no more; and by a hop, to say that we end the rendering of our flesh by thine enemy. Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep forever, perchance to dream; Aye, there's the rub. For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil by the blessed hop through the game of COD. The hop must give us pause to not be riddled with the assault of thine enemy's M16. We shall hop, perchance to increase our body count, and the hop shall always be of the Idiots, by the Idiots, and for the Idiots. Further, I sayeth not...

Having given this matter very little thought, I have nothing of any significance to add. I express that merely to advance my post count to 5,000, whereupon I will get a key to the XI masturbatorium and a $5 gift card from McDonald's.

It should not be that way but too often, the good die young. This was a good man. He will be greatly missed.

Welcome Mr. Q. (In pronouncing that, is the "q" silent?)

Have a happy Toes!!!

Welcome Vogado!!

Cool. What's BF4?

Blow job works for me.

Congrats! Here's the combination to the admin hacks: left, 26; right, 5; left, 39. Enjoy!

It's all I can stand, and I canst stands no more. I hereby expunge, invalidate, vacate, quash, repudiate and put the kobosh on the winter of 2013-2014. Henceforth, until the first frost of fall, the temperature in these parts at least may approach, but shall not fall, below 32 degrees. Nor shall there shall be any further accumulation of snow - not a single flake shall insult us. Robins and other birds hiding out in old barns and other points south are to immediately take wing and complete their spring journeys. We instruct stinging insects to come forth and dogwoods and wysteria to bloom, woodpeckers to drum and owls to hoot, sap to run and leaves to bud, pollen to rain and nightcrawlers to migrate across roads and driveways. Let tom turkeys strut, trout look up for flies, butterflies sally forth, grass to grow, and nests and hives be built. Big block stores may put flowers on display and shorts and T-shirts are approved attire. The air shall produce that spring smell - equal parts rain and soil, grass and ozone - and kids may take to bicycles and skateboards, ladies to spring cleaning and men to servicing mowers and trimmers. Let all this - and more - be done, the public welfare requiring it. I have spoken.

Great find!!! Loving it.

Hi RUC - been a long time. Welcome back.

Well said Leadfinger!!!

It's in the water, or, it's on the ground in North Korea.

Welcome aboard the Good Ship Idiot Truck.

Welcome to XI. Keep your powder dry and your dick in the dirt.

More like "interests" than "hobbies" with me because I pursue none of them full-time and all of them as time permits. My interests are in the sciences, in particular paleontology and archeology, as well as history. I satisfy those mainly by reading but it also leads to collections: old photographs of my home town which I have up at a web site I built many years ago (www.ogdensburg.info) and antiques - I like old things. I am an avid collector of fossils and have an impressive collection. I also enjoy working with my hands; I've rebuilt three houses including all plumbing, electrical and carpentry, and cabinetmaking. I'm also the family historian and genealogist and over three decades have listed more than 12,000 family relatives and have one of the more complete genealogies to be found, with only a handful of relatives missing through the first nine generations (512 sixth-great grandparents) which may be seen at my genealogy site (www.ogdensburg.info/genealogy) and other than that, first-person gaming.

How about parents suing their children who end up in jail or on drugs, to recoup the failed investment they made in them over 18-plus years?

Hope it's the best birthday you've had!!!!!

Thank you one and all. It's been the best week of my life with even more good news yesterday: whatever caused my kidney damage is no longer active. It likely was prescription drugs acting in concert but there's no medical trail to follow and unless there's further deterioration, they'll never know. While I'll remain staged with chronic kidney disease, it likely won't progress and I can - and will - do quite well with diet and exercise. And so, there will be no kidney biopsy; as with the inactive myeloma, I'll be tested regularly but no treatment is necessary. I could not get a better result for either illness. I am truly blessed.
