Pseudo is the man, man. Congratulations on your AA, and godspeed towards your Bachelor's. I was very happy that the Army paid for my Bachelor's, and the government will continue to be my enabler... I mean, fund my schooling. Honestly, you are not competitive unless you have at least a BA on your resume. Post-Army employers will not even give an Arabic linguist the time of day wi

'Millions More' Move on Mall in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Well, it's time for Louis Farrakhan and his crazy people are massing on the Mall tomorrow. It's to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the "Million Man March" . Hmmm... it gives one pause. Did it really do any good? Did it make the world better for sin

Reply to Are All Concert Tickets This Expensive? in Music JoeUser Forums

>> --the cheapest seats I found online were $89 each! The most expensive seats were over $200 each!-- >> What website did you go to? On the Ticketmaster site, tickets for the Baltimore show are $42 and $52. After their surcharges you're probably looking at $50 to $60 a ticket. Umm, the show is sold out , and unless you go to a scalper you're not getting any hits on Ticketmaster. And that's where I got the $89 price.

Reply to Are All Concert Tickets This Expensive? in Music JoeUser Forums

Yeah, I am trying to repent of my non-blogging ways. Anyway, BNL is great in concert. They are spontaneous and crazed onstage. Totally worth it the other times I have seen them. But I shall have to give this one a miss. Life goes on. And life here in ------ (aka Maryland) is good, SNS. Nice to hear from you too.

No, darlin', it's NOT just you. I am disappointed that I can't see my boys play their funky music. And dance in their crazy way.

I heard on the radio that my favorite band in the whole wide world, Barenaked Ladies ( Link ), is coming to Baltimore. And I will be available. So I got excited.

Reply to Should Pres. Bush have selected [minority] for Supreme Court in Politics JoeUser Forums

The President is beholden to NO ONE to appoint a woman to replace a woman, just as he was under no obligation to replace John Ashcroft or Tom Ridge with another white man. Maybe he should appoint another Arizonan to replace O'Connor... or better yet, another resident of Duncan, Arizona (O'Connor's hometown), population 3000. I'm sure qualifications will sort themselves out in the vetting process. But we're all apparently of like mind here...

So... any updates? When do we get to hear the results?!?! How did you do, how many points? How many anal cavity searches did you have to undergo? And are you SERIOUSLY considering reenlisting? Silly man, remember how screwed you got (and still are) from your last reenlistment?

OH, MAN... I thought ADOM was dead. When my computer finally rejected its incredibly archaic and beautiful simplicity, it was sorely missed. Thank you Grey, for introducing me to ADOM. It was very addictive. But I have moved on from ASCII games into stick figure games! Link

Reply to Would you blow up a London bus to end terrorism? in Politics JoeUser Forums

The acts are reprehensible and cruel. They are without question the random evil that we, as a society, strive to eradicate. These people decide that the only way they can enact social change is to blow something up to draw attention to their cause. Whether that cause is anything from animal cruelty to Zionism. And they really, truly believe that their efforts are going to cause the change that these terrorists want to affect? Yikes.

Four Kids?! Are You Nuts?! in Parenting JoeUser Forums

Well, June has come. Sometime this month, my wife will give birth to baby #4, a boy, and we're excited. We are quite fond of our other three, and we're very happy that number 4 is coming along. People are so funny... they expect that after 11 1/2 years of marriage, that we'd have 1 or 2 kids. Nope, we will soon have four. My point in putting this up on my si

Texas! They're Nuts Down Here! in Travel JoeUser Forums

Went to the Texas State Capitol in Austin last weekend, and the adjacent Texas History Museum. Wow, what a propaganda trip. First of all, these people are just cuh-razy about their glorious state.

Reply to Homosexuality---A Sin???? in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

I hope President Bush does as he says and makes Gay Marriage illegal nation-wide. The reason Bush is pushing an anti-gay marriage constitutional amendment is that the conservatives fear the court will uphold gay marriage as being essential for the rights of the individual. If the court redefines marriag

I haven't decided what he should do about this situation. He's obviously unrepentant (as I said on my blog) and not going to stop anytime soon. I think MLB should get a steroid detection system (involving a nuclear warhead, thank you Battlestar Galactica revisited). How come all us Minnesotans are banding together here? The only way you saw a game in the Metrodoome is as a Minnesotan. No one goes there who isn't a Twins fan. The Twins are

Non LDS people blame every inconvenience in their lives on "The Church".
