Submitted By: Rox "What Is Your Idea Of The Ultimate Romantic Weekend?"
The Week Of:
Drive all Friday night to a new destination. Explore said place with the guy I love. Have fun because we always do. Notice the little things that remind me how much I love him. Drive back.

Hey Bahb:
Why dint you put my reply to my-own-damn-topic up? Bastid.
(Editorial oversight is a bitch...no slight meant--Rox)
To answer this week's question (fishing for ideas, are you? who's the special lady?):
This time of year it would have to be a small cabin in the mountains with a fireplace. Apple orchards, hot springs, hikes, wild berries and chanterelles, an icebox stocked with game, Wes Montgomery on the hi-fi, massages that never end, leisurely games of cards by the fireplace, star gazing on a moonless night, wind in the trees, breakfast in bed, wildflower bouquets, deer feeding
outside a picture window, snowfall the day we leave.
Great, now I feel lonelier than ever. :((
Woe is me,

A cabin on a mountain in the middle of nowhere, during autumn. Fireplace of course...cuddling in front of it with big sweaters on, roasting marshmallows, drinking (I am sure you know a good dessert wine to go with flaming marshmallows Rox). Then I would like to fall asleep under a big down comforter while my man reads me to sleep, Mozart's 23rd playing in the background.
The next morning, walking through the woods, holding hands, laying in a pile of leaves watching the sun shine through the trees...and then feeling his hand sliding slowly under my sweater. Making love. Then going back to the cabin and jumping in the jacuzzi (the jacuzzi will help get rid of the leaves that crept into the crack of our asses while we were having sex in the great outdoors).
I guess to me romantic means getting away from all the distractions and really focusing on a person. Just listening to him breathe while he sleeps, watching him smile when he reads something funny, discovering every nook and cranny on his body, catching him dancing when he thinks I am not looking.
P.S. No phones, no computer, no pager, no TV.

Please forgive me for the enormously cheesy pile of sap that is about to
stem from my... well.. keyboard. But, it is your fault, Rox, and it is
true...
Anwyay... for starters, it would have to be at least mid to late fall,
although winter works well too. Somewhere at least in the mountains, in a
nice cabin, with a fireplace, a big ass picture window, and a nice big bath.
Two options for weather : clear & crisp for daytime exploring (outdoors), or
nice & stormy, for a holed up in the cabin weekend. And because no great
romance can be complete without laughter, there has to be bubble bath, and
rubber duckies (for the rubber duckie wars).
That's basically it.... I'm sure you can use your own imagination to fill
in the gaps... And, in case anyone's wondering, this is the type of weekend
where I would leave my riding crop at home... ;-)

The finest champagne money could by; chocolate dipped strawberries; a hidden ocean oasis; a huge fuzzy blanket; starry nights and shooting stars; body paint and laughter. Ahhhhh...as my girl said earlier today: I think I'll go marry myself. heeheehee...

72 hours of living in the moment, soaking up the experiences of each new adventure with someone that takes my breath away; with someone that can raise the hopeless romantic within me from the crypt of the rational world.

Phone sex with my pretend lover back east. As the license plate said on my way to work this morning: "If it's physical, it's therapy..." Probably not exactly what they had in mind, but it sure does help me a hell of a lot.

I saw this and it fits pretty well...
I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon...if I can
I seek opportunity...not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed.
I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia.
I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself; enjoy the benefits of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, this I have done.
--Shawn
Wow, this is a heavy question. I am a child of a father who served during WW II. He was a kid of 18 years when he joined the Navy. His brothers served as well in all branches of the military. All of them in my eyes distinguished themselves by having the courage to join and to fight for the concept of freedom. My brother piloted Navy helicopters in Viet Nam. What it means for me to be American is to live the best life of the highest character that I can. In that way I honor not only my family but all of those exceptional people who have given some and even all of their lives for that ideal. Being American means that I can accept those who are different than me, celebrate their uniqueness and be willing to defend their rites along with my own. I can speak my heart freely and don't have to look over my shoulder in fear of governmental retribution. Finally, being American means that I can grieve for the loss of a dear friend in the tragedy of 11 September and still find love in my heart for my friends in the Muslim/American community.
My love to you Rox. May your heart and mind find peace.

As many of you know, I am not by nature the most patriotic of people. I didn't find my patriotism until my first trip to NY. We flew into Newark which is about 25 miles away from Manhattan, and I was awestruck by the shear immensity of of the NY skyline from even that distance.
The group I was with took a day trip into Manhattan before we headed upstate for a training seminar, and our first stop was a boat ride out to Liberty island.
Our boat cruised around the harbor and past ellis island, and eventually docked at "The Big Green Bitch". Something about being in the same place as so many millions of people who gave up everything they had to take part in "The Great Experiment" of Democracy, seeing the Statue herself not as a work of art, but as thanks from France for supporting Freedom globally had a tremendous impact on me.
Looking out across southern Manhattan and seeing for once what we as a country are truly capable of both humbled and awed me greatly.
In Manhattan, truly seeing the "melting pot" EVERYWHERE, walking around and seeing tour groups that had left the glamour spots of the world to come to America because of what we stand for, and what we're capable of made me appreciate exactly what I have as a citizen.
Globally, I think we're looked upon as the benevolent Uncle. A little behind the times, but someone that will always answer a question, or spare a quarter for some ice cream.
To me being an American means not accepting the limits of the present in the pursuit of anything I do; to believe that ANYTHING is possible if I want to do it, and am willing to work for it. It also means that I have the responsibility to try and bring out the best in those around me so that we all can acheive success in all of our pursuits. Lastly, if i ever am knocked down, I as an American will rise and continue to persevere in the pursuit of my goals.
--Rox
To be an American...
You should stand up for the National Anthem...but you don't have to.
You should respect the flag and honor it...but you don't have to.
You should tolerate people who have views very different form your own...but you don't have to.
You should elect a government that you support, and support the government that you elect...but you don't have to.
The perfect beauty of being an American is that the guidelines for being one are merely suggestions.
~~waive
Being an American means freedom to do and be who you want to be, and the responsibility to live and let live.
-- Some Chick
If you ARE responsible, then Allah be mericful on your soul. And how can you call yourself a person of faith? I've studied Islam, and have to come accross the chapters on Jihads and slaughtering innocents, you Infidel pig.

No words for him Bahb....
just blow him away..that easy...and take out his people while I'm at it!

If Bin Laden was standing in front of me, I would ask him WHY, what he expected to accomplish, and what he expects the US to do now. I just don't understand what is going on in his mind, or what to tell my children.
--using my name this week, from Belynda
There are no words. There are no actions, that are possible (as far as I know). If I had the power, and he was standing before me..... I would lay my hand upon his forehead and give him the pain he has caused so many. Give him the horror. The fear. The sinking, paralyzing, desperate hurt in the hearts of so many people. I would give him a hundred thousand broken hearts to beat in his chest. I would pass along the clarity of understanding that there is no god that would sanction such a heinous act. When the enormity of these things hit him, when the tears stand wet in his eyes, I would curse him. That he may never sleep an hour straight through. That anything he puts in his mouth tastes like rotting flesh. That his children become wiccan and move to Los Angeles to open body modification studios. That his body withers and becomes useless. That his eyes dry up and fail. That he does not die, but remains conscious, blind, and paralyzed. For 12 years before finally failing physically.
And then I would let him go to live his curse.......
~Wicked
I consider myself a pretty peaceful guy but what this man has done can not be justified by any means. I would probably shoot him. What would be even better is to tie him up and drop him off in the middle of "Ground Zero" and let the firefighters, cops and volunteers take care of him New York style.
--RobbaD
I would probably kidnap him, and Torture him, until I found out whether he did it or not... If he did... Probably kill him... (Yeah real original) and if he didn't do it, after many hours of torturing... I would release him over to the feds... and they would kill him anyway... America doesn't have room for Player Haters...
--LG
What can you possibly say to someone like that? It would not penetrate through whatever warped view he has. It would be an exercise in futility.
--Ophelia Resurrected
What would I say to Osama Bin Laden if her were standing in front of me? ....I think I'd just laugh. The kind of laughter most often heard by derranged maniacs. I'd point and laugh and tell him that his God may have mercy on his pathetic soul be we WILL NOT.
What would I do to him, well since I don't think I want to be investigated by the FBI for death threats on a public forum lets just sufice to say he'd be crying early into my "actions" and the rest would become history.
My prayers are for all of us! Much fondnest to your pink parts Rox!

I see a scene from Pulp Fiction:
...Then a VOICE (SHAWN) says:
"Step aside".
President Bush steps aside, REVEALING Shawn standing behind him, holding a pump-action shotgun.
KABOOM!!!!
Bin Laden is BLASTED in the groin. Down he goes, SCREAMING in AGONY.
Shawn, looking down at his whimpering terrorist, EJECTS the used shotgun shell.
President Bush lowers the sword and hangs back. Not a word, until:
PRESIDENT BUSH SAYS TO SHAWN "You okay?"
SHAWN "Naw man. I'm pretty fuckin' far from okay!"
Long pause.
BUSH "What now?"
SHAWN - "What now? Well let me tell you what now. I'm gonna call a couple pipe-hittin' niggas, who'll go to work on homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. (to Bin Laden) Hear me talkin' terrorist boy?! I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'm gonna git Medieval on your ass."
BUSH So we're cool?
SHAWN Yeah man, we're cool. One thing I ask - don't tell nobody about this. This shit's between me and you and the soon-to-be-livin'-the-rest-of-his- short-ass-life-in-agonizing-pain, Mr. Terrorist here. It ain't nobody else's business.
Bush leaves....
...and the world lives in peace......for now!!!
--Shawn
If OBL were standing in front of me and I could keep from trying to tear his face off with my bare hands, I'd tell him he is a fool.
Instead of proving Allah's greatness, his hatefully perverted brand of Islam has poisoned the REAL world against all Muslims.
I’d tell him:
"Nobody who counts gives a fuck about your jihad and you have just ruined the lives of 2/3 of the children of Allah on this planet.
ALLAH IS STARING DOWN ON YOU IN DISGUST AND HORROR."
--Chicken Tenders
I’d say, "bin laden, you ignorant slut..... what are you thinkin'?"
then, I’d desire to take the 1.5" Swiss army knife that I left at airport security, open the little scissors, and cut off his beard snip by snip....once completed, giving him that clean shaven "unmanly" look, I’d want to take out the little blade and poke into various parts (especially those of pink persuasion) of his measly body 6000"+ " times, to atone for those he so ruthlessly wiped off this earth....
then I’d pray for his soul, cause he is going to need it.....
