An unfortunate choice of verb

 

Never fail

New York Times: Central Banks stand ready to fortify Eurozone.

History has not been kind to fortresses. WWII saw the Germans march around the Maginot Line and in the far east, the British at least still remember “Fortress Singapore”, whose massive armament  was supposed to stop the Japs cold. As the Japanese invasion fleet grew nearer the Brits affectionately patted their huge guns, all pointed seaward, and actually complained that the Fortress was so strong that it might scare the Japaneses away and thus deprive the English empire the chance to eliminate them permanently.

Which was all very reassuring until those nasty Asians chose to attack  from the rear, behind those guns, and on bicycles yet (!). The island fell in just a couple of weeks.

It’s possible that using Germany’s money to fortify Spain and Portugal will save the  Eurozone. It’s also possible that there’s a back door left ajar that will bring the euro house of cards tumbling down. Stay tuned.

    Wanker –
    So here is my first “toned down” post.

    Isn’t the weather nice? What did you do today? I started the day off with a very nice bowel movement. How about you? Do you just ball the toilet paper up in a bunch, or fold it into nice little even sheets to wipe your ass?

    Most people only do it one way, but I am a switch hitter on this one. Sometimes I bunch, and sometimes I fold. What is your ass wiping preference? I assume you wipe. Correct? And don’t you hate it when your finger pops through the TP? Now be honest. When that happens, do you smell your finger before you wash it? You do wash it, right Dude?

    So how was that? That is about as plain vanilla and PC as you can get. Right?
    And if the GAR Evil Princess is the reason you are not releasing my posts, let me know. I know EXACTLY how to deal with that dirty little girl. She will thank you when I am done.
    Your Pal,
    Walt

    offering even more credit to fight the recession is like irrigating the lawn during a monsoon to get the grass to grow. it should be clear by now that if copious credit were the antibiotic to cure the economic illness, the patient would now be well along in its recovery.

    Dude –
    So what are the new PC rules I must abide by, so that you can continue to have dirty, kinky, steamy, any input sex with the GAR Evil Princess? You horn dog. Does Ms. McBeal know about this, BTW?

    Anyhows, help me to “tone it down” to a level you and the reader can handle. OK? Can I not speak of the GAR Evil Princesses’ clean shaven love muffin? I have no idea why someone would be offended by that, but I will abide by your new Nazi censorship rules. Adolph. Would the Princess prefer we pretend she doesn’t have a love button? Now I think THAT is screwed up. MAYBE SHE DOESN’T HAVE A LOVE BUTTON AND THAT IS WHY SHE IS ALWAYS ANGRY!! That I can understand.

    I will play by the rules, if you will just kindly tell me what they are. The hell with free speech, and the Constitution. They are overrated, right? I read over all my old posts, and saw nothing that was anything but tender and loving. I don’t see how I offended anyone, and would embrace all who have a big enough rack.
    So give me some guidance here, OK?
    Your Pal,
    Walt

    Speaking of guns and which way they’re pointed, the UN wants to take your right to own guns away. Check out the IACT chick’s soup bowl haircut. Scary! Where are those sunglasses?

    • The UN wants to take censor our Internet, tax our Internet, tax our income and on, and on, and on. World government as administered by Cubans and the rest of the Third World. Because widespread citizen gun ownership might retard that process (although the new age of the drone predator probably makes that moot), confiscating guns would be a logical step.

    who says only the government has drones?

    for that matter who says only the government has lists?

    CF, you left out tax our breathing, and I propose a 10% surtax on joggers and running shoes because they do a lot more breathing in and out than the rest of of us, so they must leave a larger footprint, right?
