Rcade--

What kind of free stuff do you get?? If anything??

So, Rcade lucky you were honest about that freebie phone Sprint gave you. Anything you weren't so forthcoming about?

IN the spirit of disclosure let it be known that I receive a free m&m each time I piss off 101chairborne.

Do the troll turds here on DR have to report what the insurance companies are paying them to lie about health care reform?

I do suspect Aretha Franklin might be giving Rogers some sugar once in a while.

In the Spirit of Disclosure-I disclose that I get free handy j's, bj's, as well as nookie from my wife.........

Nor do our cats charge me for petting them.

However-I will forever deny the allegation that I once tried to pet a Black Widow Spider-although I have killed a few.

I was going to disclose my free penis enlargement, but it petered out.

This reminds me of how much I enjoyed my no-scalpel, no-laser vasectomy. I'm thinking about reversing it just so I can do it again.

OK. I get free beejays from the Young Republican Union of American Quilters and Teabaggers (YRUAQT) club for every "christian kegger" event i host.

i don't mind admitting it if you don't mind believing it.

Good thing I didn't write that.

That was weird.

My number #11 was in response to #12.

And it posted my shit in CST, too.

Holy shit.

Briwo's in the future.

Now your number 12 is #14.

Chairpoodle got a 75" flat screen HD TV, a Harley, and years worth of beer from NAMBLA.

Just sayin'........

I wonder if this will have any effect on viral marketing? where paid employees go to discussion boards like sports boards for instance, and after joining the discussion, suggest a site (tied to the people paying them) attempting to get some folks to go visit.

It does work.. and its pretty cheap marketing...

by the way.. for a really interesting site go visit.. just kiddin

Anybody watching the show FlashForward? Maybe we've all blacked out and now we'll have to remember this so we can piece together to save the world.

Poor aflac, he'll be so busy reporting what the RNC gives him ( does he have to declare what the blue-hair teabaggers give him, too?) he won't have time to pray for al queda to nuke America.

A trivial step in the right direction.

While these stories clutter the digital world Matt Taibi has outlined the naked short selling crimes which the likes of Goldman-Sachs have used to profit by destroying Overstock, Bear-Stearns, Lehman Bros,and so many others which proceeded theses scams. A meeting between all major CEOs on Wall Street, the Fed, and Treasury and planted news stories preceded the collapse of Bear-Stearns. Naked short selling is about never delivering the stock. Its about flooding the market with counterfeit stocks in order to devalue them and change Corporate Vote tallies. Someone made 590 times their bet on Bears collapse in one week, but the SEC won't say who. We are witnessing a planned demolition. A conspiracy between Government and ammoral white collar thieves who profit by destroying the country. After what they've done to manufacturing, its the only blood left to suck, so they do it.

i love the way the new ads by google are tailor made just for me! no, i never visit them, but nonetheless...

i never check links from my archenemies, timex. don't ask, it's a long story.

"This reminds me of how much I enjoyed my no-scalpel, no-laser vasectomy. I'm thinking about reversing it just so I can do it again."

What a pussy! When I went through mine, the second-worst pain I ever felt was the first injection. It was as if they had hit my nut with the largest ball peen hammer known to man. I remember saying, as water was running involuntarily out of my eyes, "well, thank God that's over", and then hearing the worst sentence of my life:

"Well, yea...that side."

Which was immediately followed by the single-worst pain: the ball peen hammer feeling again, coupled with the dreaded anticipation.

By comparison, coming back through that gate years later was a cakewalk.

Danforth, I threw up a little in the back of my throat from just reading that.

Ball peen hammer... balls... ugh...

When I went through mine, the second-worst pain I ever felt was the first injection.

I must've had the same doctor. Same with me -- the two worst pains of my life.

I remember that immediately after he gave the injection, he picked up his scalpel. I know the dentist waits about 15 minutes for the medicine to take and I yelled, "WHOA!". But he assured me that his painkiller acted immediately. Fortunately, he was right.

"i never check links from my archenemies, timex. don't ask, it's a long story.

LOL! I had no idea I was your 'archenemy'.

It's harmless. Like right wing nuts ...

hory clap! where are the women so we can talk about childbirth, hystericalectomies and mammograms?!?

#28 | Posted by Timex - well, surely you don't believe i'm one of your fans? or friends?

Of course not, but 'archenemy' is quite a stretch! LOL

Bad shoes. Now THERE'S and 'arch' enemy!

if you're trying to get on my good side, please stop with the LOLing. my feet are into comfort in the second stage of life - thankfully i have high arches!

Goat,

I was told to go home and rest for three days. I told the doc there was no possibility, as I had a show that night. The doc said, offhandedly, "Gee, I'd like to see that", as if there was no way.

Well about 2 minutes before the end of the first act, I felt a twinge. I thought it would be like novocain, and take a few hours from that point to subside. No such luck.

Within 30 seconds, the painkiller had completely worn off. I was in agony, yet the script called for me to jump around with abandon as the curtain dropped. Needless to say, my jumping was, um...less than wild.

I spent the act break in the bathroom, wiping off the blood, drying the tears of pain, and re-taping myself for the second of three acts. That evening was torture. I spent every moment I could that weekend, and the next month, either with an ice bag firmly planted on my nuts, or in the only place I was allowed without a truss: the bathtub. It's something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

ODL! STOP! TMI, DANFORTH!

JUMP AROUND WITH ABANDON?!? is it really THAT difficult to play peter pan?

Nanc

I'm not trying to get on your good side. I just don't consider myself an 'archenemy' of anyone on the planet. Even if I did have 'enemies' Jesus covered how to treat them pretty well.

Is this the time to talk about painful, puss filled, oozing, smelly anal boils? (kidding, Rush)

thankfully i have high arches!

Posted by nanc

Rome. THERE'S a place with a lot of high arches!

#38 | Posted by Timex - ANYTHING to get them off their nutz!

It was as if they had hit my nut with the largest ball peen hammer known to man. I remember saying, as water was running involuntarily out of my eyes, "well, thank God that's over", and then hearing the worst sentence of my life:

"Danforth, Mr. Leno wants you to do his taxes again next year, too!"

"Danforth, Mr. Leno wants you to do his taxes again next year, too!"

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !

#24 -- you are crazy, dude! *grin*

Seriously, why didn't you plan it when you knew you had time off afterwards?

"Seriously, why didn't you plan it when you knew you had time off afterwards?"

You're right. But back then, I never had time off. That, and I was too young to know I was mortal.

You're right. But back then, I never had time off. That, and I was too young to know I was mortal.

How old were you? You said you were young. Did you already have kids?

The reason I ask is that I know some people whose doctor would not perform sterilization at a young age if they didn't have kids. My sister's doctor was one of them. She knew when she was young she never wanted kids. (another story) She had to go to several doctors before she found one who would do it.

I first went for my vasectomy when my wife was pregnant. We knew we didn't want any more kids. In fact, the one we have was unplanned. But my doctor wouldn't do it until my son was a year old.

Bloggas must now reveal their "freebies"?

Howsabout if they are just getting flat-out paid?

Astroturfers and the like.

Are they required to reveal as well?

Just wonderin'.

So wot kinda freebies does Spud get from bloggin' at the Tort?

Lessee... Free speech, the freedom to dissent and criticize government.

Them's pretty good freebies.

Of course, one shouldn't fergit about all the free LOLs from all the self retorting retorts hereabouts.

The free *facepalms* from reading Babblers regurgitated rtard talking points du jour.

The many free *head-desks* that arise from trying to make sense of so many senseless posts.

That all noted ...there's gold in them thar blog-hills too!

Rich veins of snarkasm and prescient commentary and many excellent witticisms of all varieties.

All in all, considering the price of admission here it's almost shameless how much free stuff we all end up gettin'.

Submit a proper governmental tax form and Spud will provide the requisite number of beaver pelts.

Wot?

That's how we do it in Canada, eh!

^_^

Be Well.

/Here and in rare spirits entering the DRagon
stage left.

Lessee... Free speech, the freedom to dissent and criticize government.

Freedom don't come free, tater! I know cause I heard it in a country song. Besides, everyone knows that Canadistanians aren't free.

You got all them socialistic programs ruinin' your freedom and forcing basic health care on you! And worst of all *gasp*. Canada is America's hat.

Freedom don't come free, tater! I know cause I heard it in a country song

Tru dat. Freedom costs a buck oh five.

Besides, everyone knows that Canadistanians aren't free.

* GASP *

We isn't?!?!?

You got all them socialistic programs ruinin' your freedom and forcing basic health care on you!

Damn them sochulistic doctaters!

"Turn yer head and cough" my spuddish ass!

And worst of all *gasp*. Canada is America's hat.

Hats are kewl.

"People should wear more of them"

^_^

Be Well.

/Spud was thinking of buying Babbler a thikning hat fer his birfday?
//Wot do you guyz think about that?
///That cone shaped thing he's always wearing is getting old.
////Doncha
think?

thikning hat = thinking cap

LOL.

Spud's Second Rule of Blogworld in full effect.

Be Well.

I think he needs a new suit.

His ramblings are getting a little strange

O.K. Corky time to come clean. Just How many Obama bumper stickers did you get?

Wow,the gov wants more transparency from you!? Hmmm, sounds familiar....

there is not enough space to list all the freebies rcade got from Adam and Eve.

i believe you must click on one of the ads at least a hundred times before he even gets a dime or nickel.

and the govt grip on our balls gets harder

all hail obama
all hail obama

we who are about to get fucked salute you

mmm mmm mmmmm

I love how Republicans consider the federal government an oppressive menace, but only when a Democrat is in the White House. The second a Republican shows up, they're all "please, sir, can I have another?"
