DogOnPorch Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 Ahh yes .. is it Disney World in Florida. Either one sounds good to me. But not Euro-Disney. Dr. Frink kneels over the inert body of a robot Scratchy. Frink: Man, if this is happening here, I'd hate to think of what's happening in Euro Itchy and Scratchy Land, n-hey. [meanwhile in France: shot of empty parking lot in said Euro-park] Booth man: [French accent] Hello? Itchy and Scratchy Land open for business. Who are you to resist it, huh? Come on. My last paycheck bounced. My children need wine. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Guest American Woman Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 Ahh yes .. is it Disney World in Florida. Either one sounds good to me. But not Euro-Disney. There's a huge difference between Disneyland and Disney World, but since you've never been to either, I'm sure either one would sound good to you. For the record, if you ever have the chance/a choice, pick Disney World; and of course you'd have the benefit of all those Canadian Snowbirds, making you feel right at home. Quote

GostHacked Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Posted December 30, 2011 Thought I'd resurrect this thread with ...... http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/12/30/9826385-butt-injections-angry-92-year-olds-free-breast-exams-floridas-strange-2011 TALLAHASSEE, Florida - Did you hear about the giant Lego man that washed up on Siesta Key beach? What about the man who walked into a bar, ordered a beer and disappeared for 30 minutes to rob a bank, only to return and finish his drink? Or how about the puzzling story of the baby grand piano that showed up on a sandbar near Miami?That's Florida, where weird is an everyday event. Quote
msj Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 Surprised no one has raised the Trayvon Martin murder in this thread yet. So here it is: Cartoon Commentary: By now everyone is familiar with Trayvon Martin and his murder. Armed with Skittles and iced tea and wearing a hoodie, the black teen was summarily executed for suspiciously existing in a predominantly white neighborhood. The only thing unusual about this situation is that it was carried out by a wannabe cop instead of real ones, who have murdered black men for decades for crimes such as pulling out wallets or being handcuffed helplessly on the ground. Remember: guns don't kill people; wearing hoodies does. Quote If a believer demands that I, as a non-believer, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy.

Sure, a gun, and a "stand your ground law," is no more than adequate self defence against skittles and iced tea. But the hoodie! The hoodie! Oh, no, for the love of Gawd, a black kid in a hoodie.

Is it bad of me that I don't care that much about racial killings? I wouldn't care if it was a white on black hate crime/murder. Murder is murder. Its all BS Quote Don't ban me bro.

Should be pretty easy for the police to release the evidence pictures of the bloody and battered Zimmerman, that would surely shut every one up. When do you think they'll release those photos?

Boges Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 Is it bad of me that I don't care that much about racial killings? I wouldn't care if it was a white on black hate crime/murder. Murder is murder. Its all BS I think this case is different. There's a 911 call that shows Zimmerman was in no danger and he followed Martin. It also highlights a law in Florida where you can shoot people if you "feel threatened" He still hasn't been charged And US Conservatives have made things worse by making the fact Trayvon was wearing a hoodie a contributing factor. Sorta like the argument that a rape victim had it coming because of what she was wearing. They've even gone to his alleged Twitter feed to highlight the fact he wasn't a good kid. http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/26/the-daily-caller-obtains-trayvon-martins-tweets/ Quote
