how do I put a photo in my post?
like this...
[img]paste the url of the image you'd like to link to here[/img]
To put a image in, though, it has to already be on the web.
thank you, patiodog
let's see if this works....
Well, I finally decided to show up. Yes, the thread-ender extraordinaire is here. This thread will be dead in no time.
I read the first few pages and the last few. That bunny is one mean dudess. Glad we Cheetahs are swift.
You may scare me bunny, but can you catch me?
(Have I done it? Is this the last post?)
Let's have a bunny roast to start the year off right.
It is the new year, isn't it?
No, ehBeth. Don't want a roasted bunny.
Deranged and dangerous as she is, this place wouldn't be this place without her.
That should do it. Saying something nice about the bunny will surely drive away all future posters.
(Feeling smug.)
Hey, go feel your own smug!
I wear a shrug after dance class.
It feels very nice and soft and cuddly.
She who smugs last smugs best.
She who smugs last smugs alone.

Right, I say smugly.
You've all forced me to do the unthinkable. I'm about to relate to you the most boring conversation I ever had the misfortunate to be a part of. It ended a friendship. No anger, rancor. Just bored it apart.
My friend was newly married. I was invited to dinner. Her husband was, IMO, on the dull side. Following was his conversation as best I remember it.
The cat had five kittens. The cat's name was Maribell. She had the five kittens. The first one was white with orange and black markings. Well, not so much black as a kind of dark brown, and the orange was really more a rust color. This kitten, what was it's name? Louise? Lucille? Laurie? It had blue eyes and one orange paw. Let me see. Was it the right front or the left front? No, the name was Louisa. One of the front paws was orange. Well, the rust color actually. Was it the right paw or the left paw?
(Me: It doesn't really matter.)
The right or the left? (Pause). Yes, it was definitely the left. (Pause) Or was it the right?
To be continued.
You think you're going to kill the thread with this, don't you?
Well, you WON'T, d'ye hear? YOU CAN'T KILL US!
I smuggle best in a smugguggle.
I like to snuggle in a smugguggle
See, the thing with boring cat stories, is this: I don't have to read them. However excruciating the experience of having to sit through it was, you cannot inflict the same misery on me unless you catch me in the flesh.
Take this Ann Coulter passage, for instance.
President Bush's Kwanzaa message this year skipped the patently absurd claim of years past that: "African-Americans and people around the world reflect on African heritage during Kwanzaa." Instead, he simply said: "I send greetings to those observing Kwanzaa."
More African-Americans spent this season reflecting on the birth of Christ than some phony non-Christian holiday invented a few decades ago by an FBI stooge. Kwanzaa is a holiday for white liberals, not blacks.
It is a fact that Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 by a black radical FBI pawn, Ron Karenga, aka Dr. Maulana Karenga. Karenga was a founder of United Slaves, a violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers and a dupe of the FBI.
In what was probably a foolish gamble, during the madness of the '60s the FBI encouraged the most extreme black nationalist organizations in order to discredit and split the left. The more preposterous the organization, the better. Karenga's United Slaves was perfect. In the annals of the American '60s, Karenga was the Father Gapon, stooge of the czarist police.
Despite modern perceptions that blend all the black activists of the '60s, the Black Panthers did not hate whites. They did not seek armed revolution. Those were the precepts of Karenga's United Slaves. United Slaves were proto-fascists, walking around in dashikis, gunning down Black Panthers and adopting invented "African" names. (That was a big help to the black community: How many boys named "Jamal" currently sit on death row?)
Whether Karenga was a willing dupe, or just a dupe, remains unclear. Curiously, in a 1995 interview with Ethnic NewsWatch, Karenga matter-of-factly explained that the forces out to get O.J. Simpson for the "framed" murder of two whites included "the FBI, the CIA, the State Department, Interpol, the Chicago Police Department" and so on. Karenga should know about FBI infiltration. (He further noted that the evidence against O.J. "was not strong enough to prohibit or eliminate unreasonable doubt" ?- an interesting standard of proof.)
In the category of the-gentleman-doth-protest-too-much, back in the '70s, Karenga was quick to criticize rumors that black radicals were government-supported. When Nigerian newspapers claimed that some American black radicals were CIA operatives, Karenga publicly denounced the idea, saying, "Africans must stop generalizing about the loyalties and motives of Afro-Americans, including the widespread suspicion of black Americans being CIA agents."
Now we know that the FBI fueled the bloody rivalry between the Panthers and United Slaves. In one barbarous outburst, Karenga's United Slaves shot to death Black Panthers Al "Bunchy" Carter and Deputy Minister John Huggins on the UCLA campus. Karenga himself served time, a useful stepping-stone for his current position as a black studies professor at California State University at Long Beach.
Kwanzaa itself is a lunatic blend of schmaltzy '60s rhetoric, black racism and Marxism. Indeed, the seven "principles" of Kwanzaa praise collectivism in every possible arena of life ?- economics, work, personality, even litter removal. ("Kuumba: Everyone should strive to improve the community and make it more beautiful.") It takes a village to raise a police snitch.
When Karenga was asked to distinguish Kawaida, the philosophy underlying Kwanzaa, from "classical Marxism," he essentially explained that under Kawaida, we also hate whites. While taking the "best of early Chinese and Cuban socialism" ?- which one assumes would exclude the forced abortions, imprisonment for homosexuals and forced labor ?- Kawaida practitioners believe one's racial identity "determines life conditions, life chances and self-understanding." There's an inclusive philosophy for you.
If you're anything like me, you saw that it was by Ann Coulter and spared yourself the misery. If Ann Coulter was standing outside your shower with a hatchet while you waited to reach for a towel, you'd have to pay attention. Otherwise, it's just a jumble of letters.

I'd take the hatchet, I think.
Hatchet trumps catshit trumps batshit, in my book.
I'm waiting for Roberta to post the rest of the boring cat stories. Those I can scan and basically ignore. Coulter, I want to vomit just hearing the name. Scroll as fast as I can.
PDog, how could you???
