Everything except the last line about organized crime was mine - Munbeam just accidentally deleted half the quote brackets so it looked like all one post.

But you already know I like your style

Maybe another good reason to eat the wild variety and not the farm-bred? I guess. Don't know what to say about bacteriologists. I can't imagine how they're not all germaphobes.

I've caught fish with worms (and other stuff on or in them.) Same with animals. Nature is not pretty and it is not, necessarily dangerous (depending on the 'stuff' and it is cooked properly etc.) I think one of the reasons for our problems is this idea that 'everything needs to be clean and pretty' when, in reality, there are 'bugs', worms, etc of various types throughout nature, including ourselves. So we over use antibiotics, anti-germicidals, breed/make plants/animals (limiting generic differences and so possibly more possibility of mass outbreaks later) to 'look nice' and so forth. And bring rise to worse 'bugs' and/or invent silent, but 'nice looking' killers.

Pizza with a knife and fork? He loses my vote again. Tell me he puts mayo on hot dogs and I'll make it three times.

I think I read that he eats no junk food, no sausages, and does not drink.  I think he made a big exception in that pizza.  He's also supposed to be a germ-o-phobe, hence the knife and fork.

Having spent 8 years in SAC working with Nukes I am all in with the guy that wants to call for a fair catch.

Did you ever see a UFO messing with the nukes?

[Zenman]

Hey Art, you need to check out You, Me and the Apocalypse, if you haven't seen it.

[TigerLily]

Art's back! Art, if you could recite this through a mic attached to the internet and maybe tack on a few more hours of that kind of stuff that would be great, thanks.

Right there with ya, girlfriend

I will PM you

[Art Bell]

Art, I thought of Cumulus coming to the table shortly before you left a great victory of sorts, how did you feel about it?

How would you think I feel?
It sure would have been and they were ready! People think I wanted to blow all that up? Good God! We were just about there, so close, the whole thing makes me sick.

I agree.  I sometimes look at a show by Gordon Ramsay and he says salmon should be cooked with pink in the middle.  Ugh.  People eat raw oysters, too.  Not a good policy.  Yeah, the secret is to cook your food.  No sushi. 

[Chronaut]

Yeah.  If that were my choice, I would have to go with Bernie.  I've always admired his honesty and he's been pretty consistent for a long time.

I love that guy.  Not only is he the only truly earnest and conscientious candidate on the field, he was also the sole dissenting vote on the invasion of Iraq, which remains the single most catastrophic foreign policy decision of our generation.  So if he'd been in the White House in 2001, we wouldn't have wasted trillions of dollars destabilizing the Middle East, thousands of American troops would still be alive to hug their wives/husbands and kids, and ISIS wouldn't even exist.

It's astounding how much damage a blustering nimrod like GW Bush, or Donald Trump, can do when occupying the most powerful position on the planet.

I just am sick of the agendas that do not seem to serve our country.  Often our armed forces are protecting business interests.  We meddle and seem not to be knowledgeable enough to know how we are affecting things.

Chris Carter is on

Can't listen, can't read the thread. I'm going to binge watch them after last one airs. Don't want spoilers

[Value Of Pi]

Well, here's the thing. He is consistent. And he is focused like a laser beam on a set of issues.

But let's move away from his point of focus and look at, say, that "shift to Asia" thing that even many Democrats agree is probably a wise move militarily. I'm not sure what Bernie thinks about it or even *if* he thinks about it.

And, while I like Chinese food, I don't want to eat it every night.

Thanks, trostal

Those of us with more than a few brain cells left know it must have been one helluva decision to make to step away. Those with less than a couple of functioning brain cells will continue to bitch, moan and complain to anyone that will listen and feed their trollish posts. I have quit doing so .. too bad many are still feeding the many trolls that continue to find refuge here in MV's cesspool of sewage. Yep .. for that -- I'm a quitter too and proud of it.

you do realize that you have pretty much entered the realm of being a troll correct?

Art, are you listening to this dogshit?  Who let this person near a microphone?

[GuerrillaUnReal]

They're going to have to get rid of Heather sooner than later. I wonder if her accusations of sexism concern Art at all?

Art's right on about Trump, I'd be shocked if he's not our next president.

And I think the big twist will be that he'll be a GREAT president, for both liberals and conservatives.  Because he IS both a liberal and a conservative.

Sure, I've caught fish with all kinds of nasty-looking stuff in their digestive tracts. But, at least where I've fished, the worms haven't been in the meat I'm about to cook up. Not that I could see. Frankly, if I couldn't see them due to their microscopic size or whatever, I'd just as soon not know about them. Fish should be well-cooked in any case, unless it's very clean sushi.

[Jackstar]

Y'all are conflating "sushi" with "sashimi," although it's hardly relevant now that the oceans are dying.

Germs. Interesting. You think this might be why he made a big deal over Hillary going to the bathroom on a debate break? "Disgusting!" That's what he said.

This makes me very sad for you and us.  I hope you find a way to make you and your family feel safe and do the work you love.

There was a point yesterday or the day before where one guy was literally every other post for almost two hours. I was to copy the recent posts on the main page, highlight each entry from him and post it but I didn't want to be a dick.
