Shouldn't surprise anyone that Sean Hannity and Yosemite Sam share the same philosophy towards foreign policy. He just wants the roughest, toughest, rootinest, shootinest, rackin', frackin', dad gum military ever to grace gods green earth. And when them Muslams pop their heads out of their caves, he'll done blow them straight to smithereenees.

He just better hope Al Qaeda isn't as clever as Bugs Bunny.

From Wikipedia: "He died on November 23, 1998 at the age of 35 after his rope failed while performing a "controlled free-fall" jump from the Leaning Tower rock formation in Yosemite National Park. The failure was investigated by the National Park Service with assistance from Chris Harmston, Quality Assurance Manager at Black Diamond Equipment. Harmston concluded that a change in jump site angle probably caused the ropes to cross and entangle, leading to the rope cutting by melting.[2] Miles Daisher, who was with Osman when he made the jump, stated that the ropes used in his fatal jump had been exposed to inclement weather — including rain and snow — for more than a month before the fatal jump, but that the same ropes were used for several shorter jumps on the previous and same day, THIS WAS SAID TO BE HIS LAST JUMP BEFORE HE RETIRED"... Yes, yes it was.

My apologies. I didn't realize it was group playlist. Perhaps before I go running off at the mouth, I should check my facts.

It actually worked out in pretty weird way. Dag reinstated the video, but it got put into the published section with only 3 votes. It eventually picked up some more, but it still has fewer than 10. So I've got one of very few published vids around with less than 10 votes. That's kinda cool, I guess.

Thanks for the heads-up. I was in Yosemite and without internet access when this was added to the group playlist, so it wasn't me, but I'll try to pass the word around. For the record, I do watch both videos before adding them to the playlist.

Cheers,

Before you add videos to your dupe playlist, you might want to watch them first. This video is not a dupe of this similarly titled one.

24. VS is the only online community I've ever become a part of.

A warm summer sunset on the beach is a staggeringly awesome setting for shrooms. The feel of the sun, sand and warm breeze on your skin, the sound of the waves and the gulls, the smell of the ocean, the giant golden setting sun glittering on the crests of the waves, omg it's the closest thing to a state of perfect being you'll ever experience.
Yosemite (or just about any National Park) is another Excellent place to do shrooms.


I agree 150% Having lived in Oregon for all of my trips (still live here). Nature was heartily available and ALWAYS made the experience an awesome one.

The only time I experienced a "bad trip" was when I was with a group of people I hardly knew, didn't have a place to live at the time (was living with my "girl friend" and was depressed about my living situation and lack of employment). It made for a really bad experience. This was on acid by the way, not shrooms.

Sex on shrooms is one of the greatest experiences I have ever had.

wow that's so cool, let's put 1000 of em in the middle of Yosemite!

I can't believe how rude some people were in the audience. I don't recall other concession speeches from years past being that way.


1. This is the Southwest, so if the stereotype holds true, they were all a bunch of rootin' tootin' Yosemite Sam cowboys.
2. This was more passionate of a campaign than most before, on both sides. These people had the same mentality of supporters of a World Series team

picture an obama-loss chicago
I have experienced the other side already
Walking through Five Points from class (ATL, boy was it a party) I was harangued by a few black men, asking "How does it feel to have a black president?!" I reminded them that we have a white president, but a black president elect.

She's been to college and had a full education, right? Maybe everyone up there really does talk like that, but it just strikes me as an effected method of speech. It's like having Yosemite Sam up there speaking.


Quoth the Wikipedia:
Palin attended several colleges and universities. In 1982, she enrolled at Hawaii Pacific College but left after her first semester. She transferred to North Idaho community college, where she spent two semesters as a general studies major. From there, she transferred to the University of Idaho for two semesters.[11][12] During this time Palin won the Miss Wasilla Pageant beauty contest,[13][14] then finished third (second runner-up) in the Miss Alaska pageant,[15][16] at which she won a college scholarship and the "Miss Congeniality" award.[17] She then left the University of Idaho and attended Matanuska-Susitna community college in Alaska for one term. The next year she returned to the University of Idaho where she spent three semesters completing her Bachelor of Science degree in communications-journalism, graduating in 1987.[11][12]
---

So it took her around 5 years to get a 4-year degree. In Communications-Journalism. Where she would have (hopefully)learned to speak without an accent.

I think her handlers have told her to play it up, as if an accent is all it takes to sound "folksy."

Ya know, I grew up in a small farming town in the Midwest, and even I don't talk like that. She's been to college and had a full education, right? Maybe everyone up there really does talk like that, but it just strikes me as an effected method of speech. It's like having Yosemite Sam up there speaking.

I used to work for the company that ran a couple lodgings in Yosemite. They ran most of the hotels within National Parks. It was not a great company.

@johnny
Who's that??? Oh that guy that just got banned. (punks better stop trampling on my namespace)

I will address your issues in the morning as well
take your time - I'd like this to continue until at least another dozen or so have weighed in. (Where the hell are GH, eric, lucky, joedirt, krupo, fletch, etc., etc.?)

One of the reasons this war has gone on for so long is because people aren't seeing what's really happening over there.

I'm sorry rougy, but that is a fallacy. Look at Vietnam for proof otherwise. The country was seeing it, was outraged, and it took another 7 or 8 years after those images started getting broadcast before we finally got out. The majority of the country is outraged about this, handing the republicans a resounding defeat in the mid-term elections. And what happened? Yosemite Sam sent in more troops. I think we're on the same side of the issue in general, I just disagree that public outrage has much effect on this looney in office. Something like 70% of the country wants us to at least start withdrawing troops.
