I've read nearly every Crichton book, and I'm nowhere near that crazy!
It isn't Bush's job to make everyone paranoid!
That's why we have CNN!
I won't be reading any more Card, though, I wasn't too impressed by Ender's Game.

I'd hate to see what your grammar was like during this IQ trough.
And what the hell kind of school has one giant final at the end?
-John Carpenter's They Live
"God help us...in the future."
-Plan 9 from Outer Space

Wind direction from an ipod, huh? Given the education system I see, I really doubt the test was something that was written in this millennium. Nice nod to our approach to understanding technology. Or at least exposing "are" children to some newer terms.

Not quite. You'll have to try harder than that.
Call it a lynching and you can lose your job.
This is a great place to bicker over the finer points. But generalize all you want, in regards to your kind, Toaster. I live in the South by choice.

Damn it, it's a real word. Craziness. Stop the Canada speak, Civ, so the rest of us can understand you without consulting dictionaries! (Just so you know, I'd have used the one dumb slur for Canadians in this post, but I have no idea how to spell it. )

Yeah I can’t tell weather I’ve just been insulted or not there either way I'm British so I’m too polite to do anything about it. Also Jim Carrey is half American half Canadian but I just can’t bring myself to be mad at Canada, there’s just no way to hold a grudge against that country.
That is one badass baby.

Yep, skookum is an aboriginal word, Salish I think, and it's not exclusively Canadian. I think the natives of Washington (assuming I'm right about the Salish) have it as well. Apparently though it didn't make it to the mainstream in the US, unless it's only in Washington and none of you folks are. Anyway it's not even that common around here anymore, so it's a sign of my age. Since nobody much learns about Natives in high school anymore, and since in my neighbourhood English is the first language of 34.7% of the population (based on the last census), it's only codgers who even know it. It means "strong," I used it intentionally as a shout ot to Western Canada, and I meant it with irony.
What was this thread originally about? Oh yeah, I hate America because they won't keep their religion out of my peanut butter.
