	<description><![CDATA[Posted by: Kendall Meade (6 Jan, 2008) -- Expo (whiteboard) markers have based their market share on both the ability to be wiped off nearly any smooth clean surface with any type of cloth, and the fact that they will make you dizzy when used.

Elephants are large animals with a strange fleshy appendage in front of the two forward legs, and two rear legs with a small appendage sticking out the other way.  in Thailand, women are considered to be the rear of the elephant, while men are considered to be the front.
     yeah, thai people think this deeply about meaningless metaphors too.

a cup is never half full or half empty, in the same way that, say, a women is never half pregnant. it's either got something in it, or it hasn't.  fullness doesn't enter into it because you can always fill it with something else.  it's your job to fill your own glass.

having a job that requires you to shoot at people must suck, but I can't imagine it's as bad as having a job that requires you to be shot at without shooting back, like the US military requires.

I have a hard time believing that some people actually believe some unbelievable things.

I wonder if Santa ever gets embarrassed about his line of work.  it seems like he would- he's required to wear a ridiculous uniform and employ midgets in order to make toys for a bunch of kids who pay him with cookies and milk.  and I'm curious where he gets his coal to put in the bad kid's stockings.  it seems to me like he's been outsourcing to china the whole time, which would explain his access to coal and short people.

how fast can you say this?

billy becker built a better belt buckle, but the belt buckle buckled under billy beckers butt. when the buckle of the belt that billy becker built buckled under the butt of billy becker, why was the butt of the belt buckled under billy becker's gut?
then billy becker's bully built a belt buckle buckler and covered the buckle of the buckler in every type of guilt, but the bully bought the broken belt buckle billy becker built because the bully thought he felt a bit of belt buckle guilt.

that's all for now.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[first thought: you have never smuggled drugs or anything else (minivans are perfect for it). (not that I would know)     second thought: you've never been to a strip club in the redneck parts of america, the girls are uglier than the DJ's.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, you disagree or agree with what I said? It seems you are defending minivans and DJ's, but what about motorshows in the redneck parts? Don't they have some kind of kick ass pickup trucks that'll kill any deer without denting the bumper?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[but there are so many cool cars at motorshows, most of which much better in many ways than minivans. you could smuggle your drugs in a porsche, save valuable time. plus when border patrol looks in the back of your car, all they'll find is the engine!]]></description>
