The Week Of 2 November, 1998
The Topic:
"What Are The Hottest And Coldest Places That You Have Ever Been?"
...or anything else you'd like to talk about.
Anthony's Butt
--Rob
For those of you who know Anthony, you must admit that Rob has hit it precisely on the the head with his response--Rox
The coldest places I've ever been (It's a tie) have been a foot trail in the Andes mountains in chile - after sundown, and for some bizarre reason I seem to remember a winter in Atlantic City, NJ where I almost froze my f*cking pecker off at 3:00 in the morning stumbling back to my hotel room in an alcohol induced trance (word out to my homey, Patrick, tendin' at theTrump...givin' out much love and Bombays on the rocks!)
The Hottest place for me has to be, without a doubt, Orlando FL. I HATE HUMIDITY. I HATE FLORIDA. I HATE THE EVIL DRACONIAN DISNEY EMPIRE.
Oops...was that too harsh?
--A
The Truth is never harsh. florida is inhabited by people waiting to die, and those who make money off of them while they wait...oh and about 200,000 drug dealers, 500,000 political refugees, and the people who make money off of/prosecute them--Rox
For me it was the same place. My ex-girlfriends house talking with her parents.
--Shawn
the coldest place i've ever been is easily gunnison, colorado, where it was 40 degrees below zero for 3 straight weeks, january 1985, thank the good lord for apts. with paid utils.....
and conversly, the hottest was then, is now, and always will be, in the arms of my fantastically wonderful wife......"and it's mine, all mine..." late,
--the white guy
The hottest place I have ever been is my current home, Phoenix Arizona aka God's Frying Pan.The coldest place was my ex mother in law's house, what a bitch!...just kidding. Actually it was Prague,Czech Republic...it was so cold that my nipples were permanently erect for my entire stay.
--Meg
I definitely remember both places vividly. The coldest place was in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I pulled over near a place called "Hells Kitchen" (I'm serious) and was checking out the scenery. It was so damn cold I thought I was going to freeze to death at any moment but the scenery was unbelievable. The hottest was a yogurt factory. You would think it would be cold in a frozen yogurt factory but damn, was it hot. Myself and a friend got a job when we were 16 and we worked there putting boxes together. We lasted about about five hours before quitting and asking for our paychecks. It must have been 120 degrees in that f---in' place. My attic crawl space installing electrical would be a
close second for hotness but the yogurt place sucked more.

"What is the best or worst Halloween costume you have ever seen?"
Heather Foster in a army outfit.
--fazibear
As far as worst costumes go, I HATE the generic, plastic faced, one size fits all Walmart specials that the kids run around in...more specifically the ones worshiping the most current Disney craze. I expect to squash three gazillion Mulans this year.
The costume that made me roll in the floor was one I saw last year. Not that it was so original, just that it was unexpected. I lived in an extremely rural town with a huge population of senior citizens and extremely conservative southern baptists. Which made this kid's costume way out of place (I could just see the geezers with their Bibles out praying for this kid). He was about nine and came around with his father. The boy had a fuzzy pink sweater, mini skirt, and gigantic Dolly Parton boobs. With a big grin he asked if I wanted
to touch one! After laughing til I cried I applauded his dad for
being such a good influence...

Cornnuts flavor. Sometimes you really want to stink up the
lab/bus/classroom/office with that freshly chewed Cornnuts smell, but you're just not hungry for a full bag. When the convenience store is too inconvenient, annoy everyone around you with the tantalizing odor of Cornnuts Gum! Chile Picante would be my favorite flavor. Mmmmmm...

1. My Franklin Day Planner (Everything is in it)
2. My backup tape from my pc
3. My black hat
--Shawn
1. My music collection
2. My Leather
3. (tie)
---My copy of Caddyshack
---My autographed pic of Janet Reno (she IS Babe-a-licious)
--Rox
I am kinda lucky to have a laptop and most of my important documents in a single location, so that takes care of 2 of them. I could load up my backpack, and I would be set. I don't think that in a fire this would be counted as cheating : )
A little more specific:
1. My Laptop
2. My Bookbag (It has my cell in it, and stuff I take everywhere)
3. Whatever the hell I can load up in my old backpack, I'm not leaving without my CD's and modem, etc... (A bit worldly, eh?)
--jdK
1- It's essential to save your tools. nothing is more emasculating (sic) than losing a 75 piece Craftsman tool set.
2- Gotta save the nudie mags - they could be collectors items in the future.
3- and... I'd have to save my good ol PC. Who cares if it went obsolete before the bubble-wrap came off?
--Eric
I'd take my passport, photos and my Jesus Lizard and 7-Mary-311
Ball and Chain, oops I mean Garbage, cd.
--Twisted Firestarter
(She uses my line and then signs it with that bullshit reference...I weep for the future--Rox)
I would take the fire, then I wouldn't have to worry about anything else.

(If I was hung like Pipe, I’d probably be able to go for the fire too—Rox)

Thanks to Ab'z and the Smokin' J's for this week's topic. If Ab'z didn't suck so much, and the J's didn't draw such a brain dead crowd in addition to being such a crappy band, then Shawn and I would have never been forced to sit outside and would never have had the time to brainstorm, and he would not have come up with this question.

"What is the longest streak you've ever had?"
There are at least two possible ways to answer this question. I'm not sure which was originally intended, so I'll give both.
#1) When I worked as a camp counselor, I once forgot my towel in my cabin and had to streak from the showers in the bathroom through an exposed compound some 25 feet to safety in order to dry off (I'd just got done playing basketball and my clothes were...uh...ripe to say the least).
{Nice run-on sentence baldy--Rox}
#2) I went almost 5 years without trim at one point in my life, and have since been fitted for glasses--you do the math.
--Rox
my longest streak would have to be bad luck.
--Bad Monkey
The longest streak I have had has lasted 22 years, if you
count conception, and it aint over yet. :)
--jdK
The longest streak I've ever had?...
Aside from the obvious sexual frustrations, I guess I'd have to say that the longest streak (as in gambling) would have to be a three day gambling binge I had a couple years ago, mainly at this particular black jack table at Treasure Island. I think I played at that table a total of about 16 hours over 3 days and if I remember correctly, I never lost a hand. Don't worry,
I lost it all upon leaving L.V. at the state line (about ~$1100). OK, let's say it together...I'M A F*CKING IDIOT!...Now, do we all feel better???...
--Amado
(You’re not an idiot baby, you’re money....Who’s the big winner here...Amado is...yea! Amado--Rox)
Thanks to Shawn for this week's topic.

"Should Bill Take One For The Team And Resign, Or Should He Instead Stand His Ground And See If Congress Has The Intestinal Fortitude To Try And Impeach Him?"
Resign, and take Hillary with Him.
--Shawn
Such a loaded question: Seriously what good would it do for him to resign, I mean think about it? Absolutely he should stand his ground, what little of it that is left. I think that the American People, who have had the last 8 months to digest this, dont want to see Billy, whom they voted for, impeached. Although Clinton only recently admitted "wrongdoing", resigning would be the easy way out, and it's time to face up to the "Sexual McCarthyism", enough said.
--jdK
I think Bill should just smile...tote his Bible and horse faced wife to church..and keep his dick in his pants. This will blow over...mark my words.
--Meg_the_Castrator
You had to get political. What a biotch! :-)
--IG
I'm not a personal fan of slick willie myself, but all this bulls**t about impeaching the guy because he played "hide the cigar" and lied about it is irrelevant. He lied about a "personal" problem of adultery that affected himself, his family, and a young woman turned on by "the most powerful man in the world". I don't condone it, Hillary should dump his sorry ass for it,but its not MY problem. If he had raped her?...hang the bastard. If he had lied about a national interest? (i.e Iran-Contra, Watergate, my IRS tax bill, etc.)...I'll be the fist in line. This does not merit this much attention. Yes, he lied...about cheating on his wife. If we fired every politician, CEO, doctor, lawyer, gardener, florist, IRS agent that was caught being unfaithful, this country would come to a screeching halt. ITS A FACT, husbands and wives cheat on their partners and LIE about it. Wake up and smell the Jamba Juice!
--Amado
p.s. He should stick it out because we know we won't impeach him and it doesn't matter anyway. 2000 is just around the corner. Just take the button away and then what harm can he do??
Stand his ground and see if they have the balls to impeach him. Tons of presidents cheat on their wives. JFK fucked everyone. Who cares! He didn't drop a bomb on a country by mistake, or screw up the economy or something. You know it is not that big of deal when the whole countries attention is focused on McGwire and Sosa and not Bill's dick. Plus look at her. Wouldn't you try to forget that you did her too?
--Saul
(Ladies and Gentleman, introducing the new White House Press Secretary...--Rox)
No way should he resign. All right, who hasn't lied about sex? Lied about having sex, lied about how much they've had or lied to get some? I can't fault the guy for lying about not keeping little Willie in his pants. This whole "investigation" was a big politically motivated witch hunt. I'm not saying that Billy is a great man or a great president but if you dig deeply enough into anyone's life you're going to find some dirt. Do the Republican leaders really want President Gore for the next two years? Unlikely. He won't resign and won't be impeached. His presidential legacy will just be "stained" because of his escapades. Personally I don't care who he screws. I'm proud to have a leader who can still get it up.
--Kel
"Yes, the president should resign. He has lied to the American people, time and time again, and betrayed their trust. He is no longer an effective leader. Since he has admitted guilt, there is no reason to put the American people through an impeachment. He will serve absolutely no purpose in finishing out his term, the only possible solution is for the president to save some dignity and resign."
--William Jefferson Clinton, 1974 on President Nixon. (Submitted by Shawn)
bill needs to suck it up so to speak and walk away with any amount of dignity he can find to take with him. if there is one (ok there are a couple) of things that i find intolerable, it is infidelity within a relationship......the "i wasn't having it with her, she was having it with me" line is another bunch of crap. talk about ego! not only did he cheat, he's a
damn liar, and should NEVER be trusted for anything again, especially if it has to do with the oral (oops, i mean oval) office......the democrats will recover, and everybody in congress who ever had a liason will get "outed", but i'll bet nobody ever again wastes their time sending him any more cubans!
late,
--the white guy
As President, Bill must see his role as The embodiment of the United States both internationally and domestically. His status as an admitted liar casts a dark shadow over the credibility of the United States. Whether or not he has in fact acted in a similar disreputable manner in his duties as President, a large spectre of doubt will hang over any future commitments, thus affecting his effectiveness.
He must step down if our nation is to heal the wounds of the last eight months and also to rebuild our reputation overseas.
He did what many members of the both the public and private sectors are guilty of in abusing the power of their position in order to wet their wick. Unfortunately, few people are ever called to account for this type of behavior, and are thus never put in the position of having to lie about it.
Do I think that there is a political dimension to the witch hunt that finally turned up evidence of wrong-doing on the President’s part? Yes I do, and it sickens me. Our country has been weakened as a direct result of the GOP drive to discredit the President.
I doubt that the public will see this, but we are guilty of the degradation of our country. We failed to hold our leaders accountable for reigning in the Whitewater investigation. Ken Starr was given a hunting license by Congressional leadership to dig dirt on the President that far exceeded the parameters defined by the original investigation.
We have become a laughing stock internationally as a result of this protracted circus, and it’s our own damn fault.
So Bill...call it a day, write your memoirs, and get some counseling big guy.

"If you caught Mark McGwire's 62nd home run, breaking Roger Maris'record, what would you do with the baseball? Give to Mark? Sell it? Or something else?"
I'd probably sign it, and give it Mark. I'd feel like I would be acting in a mercenary tradition to sell a piece of history that didn't really belong to me. It is Mark's (or Sammy's) moment, and I figure let him enjoy it for posterity.
--Rox
So...if I caught the ball I would probably give it back to the man as a momento but ask him to sign another ball in exchange. Unless the man is an asshole...then I would sell the ball and use the money to buy foreign language learning tapes for the local public school. Slan go foil chara.
(The local school or the webmaster--Rox)
--Megan (aka Meg_the_Castrator)
Give it back to Mark. It's not my ball, it belongs to baseball. The ball and Mark are part of the history of baseball. Not me. I am just a fan. For me to make a profit off it might make perfect business sense, but it would take away from what has been accomplished.
--Shawn
I would definitly sell it, however if necessary i would wait for an autograph from mark mcgwire, on the ball itself, and claim it would go to charity, that is me myself and i, or maybe a business of some sort. In any case, this would all be meaningless if sosa breaks the record first,however in that case i may offer more charity :)
--@jdK
Sup says give the ball to the guy in exchange for an autographed ball at the end of the year with his final HR count, a round of BP before a game with the first hitting group, and if I felt really greedy, season tickets.
--Sup
(I knew a former "ball-er" would come up with a creative answer--Rox)
i can't believe all these psuedo phans that keep on saying that they would give the ball back......what a bunch of crap......if somebody dropped a million bucks in your hands, you'd give it back? give me a break......this ball is worth money, but the last one he hits out this season will be worth
more in the long run and IT will go to cooperstown.......hold out for the highest bidder, go for the bucks, tell the i.r.s. to take their gift tax and shove it, then do something good with the money, make a donation to your favorite charity, buy season tickets for an inner-city kids center they could share, start a foundation that could assist all the "big leaguers" that got cut after a year and are now homeless 'cause they never studied
and just played ball, or better yet, just golf yourself silly.......late,
--the white guy
Anything less than giving the ball back to Mark would mean one more rung lost on the ladder of Human Evolution. In any case, I heard the IRS wants a piece of this one too...what do you call a bureaucrat at the bottom of the ocean?...
--Amado
(Bureaucrat at the bottom of the ocean...hmmm...could it be...yes...is it called a good start?--Rox)
