Wow... how ironic.... quite sad, but ironic.

Worst-Case Thinking - Schneier on Security

I have trouble believing this. Seven pages of useless blather on one unsubstantiated picture. Well not quite all useless. The above article was enlightening and worth reading. The rest...

I'm sorry if I sound a bit harsh but read the whole thread though in one sitting and you'll see what I mean.

Nothing unsafe, just dumb and uninteresting to me in regards to the picture.

I'm sure stacking hay bales in the barn when your on top of a loose stack is much more dangerous.

I took my kids on a guided tour of an old mine in Montana. We went as far as we could until we reached a cave in.
Dangerous? Probably.

I could go on, I won't. I don't know what else to say to the nanny crowd.

A Tarzan yell while swinging over a river with alligators would be appropriate. LOL!

Lol! I imagined someone with 8"lift and swampers on his truck (that has never seen the mud) complete with those plastic balls hanging fron the trailer hitch. :laughing:

Well, you got me on that one. I thought maybe I could get away with a bit of artistic license here, but you guys are too sharp for me. Fact of the matter is, he was a colleague and an apposing attorney whom I faced several times in my career. He had a tendency to irk me at times, but we got along well.

Environmentalist dies (Crushed by a tree...)

Last year we 'lost' a Launceston City Councilman when he drove up the backside of a fully loaded logging truck... he was a member of the Green Party.

I kinda felt bad laughing about it. Actually, I still chuckle when I think about it.

Those are plastic balls thought they were at least steel.... Sighhh... I'm no longer intimidated.... very disappointing!

Forwards or backwards ehh. And here I thought it was just yodeling which he was actually very good at. :confused2:

There're two 'yells', the MGM yell (palindromic) and the RKO yell (Johnny himself).

Tarzan Yells

Trivia comes to the rescue!

How about that for some thread drift? Could be a scene from Fast & Furious 29! Love it. :thumbsup:

Edit: careful though, don't want to waste more of those two guys' time with your nanny foolishness.

Why do we have a special name label for "environmentalists"? I doubt that the opposing side's obituary will say "Pollutionists dies when scared to death by harmless tree picture"? :laughing: :stirthepot:

It's not my special name, it was attached by the author of the article. The fact of the matter is, that I was the opposing side, and I was labeled an "environmentalist". It was, among other things, my job to enforce the Air Quality laws for the state...which included drafting, promulgating and enforcing regulations, reviewing, approving and defending permits, determining violations and prosecuting violators. His role was to represent industry or the public when they thought our regs were too weak or too strong.

Oklahoma has air quality laws?! Can't imagine you had a lot to do. Lol. (kidding... Mostly)

Man, what is wrong with the people of Tulsa? The comment section of that story is brutal. Have they no decency there?
