Report: Iran Less Than 10 Years Away From 2016 WASHINGTON, DC—According to an alarming new Department of Defense report combining civilian, military, and calendric evidence, Iran may be as few as nine years away from the year 2016. "Every day they get one day closer," Defense Secretary Robert Gates said during a White House press conference Tuesday. "At the rate they're going, they will reach 2016 at the same time as the United States—and given their geographic position relative to the international date line, possibly even sooner." The report recommended that the U.S. engage in bellicose international posturing, careless brinksmanship, and an eventual overwhelming series of nuclear strikes in order to prevent Iran from reaching this milestone.

LOL. I think I would like to see a rigorous demonstration of your hypotheses @ FF and LOZ. Purely for the advancement of science, you understand.

^And you want us to believe that Stiffy Sorensen put it on without help. And then went off to the office without tripping once... Adorable kids though.

I dunno, I can think of plenty to do if I was not working for a living. 1. I would develop expensive hobbies, like bathing in crushed Olympic dreams and babies' tears. Three times a day. I'm sure someone could be encouraged to sell their babies' tears by the thimbleful, especially if this meant they could stay at home and be ladylike in the pursuit of a morally salubrious lifestyle. 2. I would breed Venus fly traps to become mobile so that they could go hunting, except not for flies but for human toes and fingers (and other dangly appendages). Imagine if one of those was lurking in the shadows on your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I'm sure this would lead to many an Olympic record being broken, such as fastest sprint, high and long jumps, and even bobsledding. Hmmm this might have an interesting tie in to dream #1, should explore further... 3. I would buy a McDonald's storefront, then put up a Burger King menu but give people only Wendy's burgers. Mainly for the confusion, but also because Wendy's is a superior fast food joint and people should know this. This is, of course, only the first month or so, but I'm sure I could come up with other equally gripping plans.

Layzie, by indhihiisa caadi ma'aha do you mean he's got some sort of light sensitivity? He's wearing shades again! Nice tune though. Sir Marx, I was helping Layzie see that she was projecting your suave manliness onto this skinny dude just because he was wearing your trademark Versace shades. That is all, I swear.

Take it easy Bella Princesa x-Lil Cutie-x. You've gotten the message across loud and clear. Now be a good girl and wait for the buyers. Don't listen to Castro, no JPEG will do your product justice.

The Same Air - Al Zolynas The same air that moves through me and you through the waving branches of the bronchial tree through veins through the heart the same air that fills balloons that carries voices full of lies and truths and half-truths that holds up the wings of butterflies humming birds eagles hang gliders 747s the same air that sits like a dull relative on humid lakes in Minnesota in summer the same air trapped in vintage champagne in old bicycle tires lost tennis balls the air inside a vial in a sarcophagus in a tomb in a pyramid buried beneath the sand the same air inside your freezer wrapping its cold arms around your t.v. dinners the same air that supports you that supports me the same air that moves through us that we move through the same air frogs croak with cattle bellow with monks meditate with and on the same air we moan with in pleasure or in pain the breath I'm taking now will be in China in two weeks my lungs have passed an atom of oxygen that passed through the lungs of Socrates or Plato or Lao-tsu or Buddha or Walt Disney or Ronald Reagan or a starving child in Somalia or certainly you you right here right now yes certainly you the same air the very same air

^They are not wearing macawiis! Lugooyo badnidaa. And is "Gorgeous" wearing sunglasses there? I'm beginning to see a pattern here Layzie

Admit it FB, if you were him you would've split the 20 between two pockets.

Hi Marx, what are you up to? Maybe a new video regarding the old prunes vs. young blood is in order? Huzzah. Sorry Bella, it was an opening and I couldn't resist. And I'm sure you're just joking around there, maybe trying to needle people a bit. Only someone with the mental acuity of a wet dish-towel suffering from amnesia could actually believe that financial independence is demeaning to women. And such a person wouldn't even be able to dress themselves much less get on SOL. Surely you can dress yourself right?

I imagine that's nothing new to you

^Pass it on and I won't report your software piracy. Che, no but I bowl a mean game.

^Exactly. A googarad is like a hi-tech macawis... that elastic band means you don't have to keep checking to see if you're decent.

Hair dye is toxic and shouldn't be put on the skin! I nearly had a falling out with my cousin because she decided to use it to outline the cilaan designs. Looked very fetching, but not worth damaging one's liver or kidneys...

Good luck Geel_Jire! (yes I take mine with milk AND sugar).

Beat me to it

LOL. I've been out-played this round. Next.

^I would agree, if it was any other adopted country but America. That's just so... gauche.

^LOL. It's really hard to get rid of cilaan quickly, but try acetone (nail polish remover) or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). They are organic solvents and henna is a organic dye, so I think they should work to some extent.

Hunguri, the email actually had a link to a fake webpage of the bank on it, I just deleted it in case some SOLer has been living with the Mennonites for the past 10 years... The site is very similar to the real thing, except that the list of managers has this guy's name :eek: So you see they are one step ahead of us!

Mick Jagger?

It's the weather I guess. Too cold or too wet, nothing else for a skinny to do but stay indoors.

^LOL. I'd forgotten all about her. Used to have a bit of a crush on bad boy Ares I'll be Lara Croft. Nothing beats being a fearless lady archaeologist with built in flotation devices :cool:
