Still penciling in Ron Paul.

Some of that coal gets trained to a power plant 20 miles north of me (PPLX fleet). There's another coal plant that's 5 miles south of me but I'm not sure if that's WV coal or PA coal. Beat-up looking string of NS TopGons goes by several times a week.

Been switching back and forth throughout the entire debate.

At this point... this steeler game looks just as bad as the debate.

Great post! Keep it up.

He says that, but then fully supports forcing people to pay for things that are contrary to their moral and religious beliefs. Neither side is interested in leaving people alone.

I thought Biden's "in your face" debating was considerably more effective than Obama's disengaged style, however he got caught in several lies. Ryan's ability to remain calm (for the most part) was admirable, but unfortunately his personal stories were a distraction. Of course the big story will be Biden's smiling/laughing which was, I'm sure, calculated to dismiss Ryan as an unschooled rookie. Not surprisingly, Biden badly over-played this; over-shadowing the rest of his debate performance.

As for the Steelers; they have given up four 4th quarter touchdown drives in five games. This is not a playoff team.

Treetop started another thread about goat meat, but it should be very clear what Biden was doing. He was taking one for the team. After the election, when all the pundits start to dissect the results, they will be able to point to Uncle Joe's laughable performance and blame the loss on him. He's the scapegoat. He had to do worse than Obama.

Biden's continuous interruptions played against him, along with the smirks and laughter. I was impressed with Ryan, not having paid much attention to the election so far and unfamiliar with him... since I hate politics. :roll:

I just picked up a jug (1.75l) of Dewars at walmart ($34 BTW, Great deal)

Anyway, I'm going to take a drink tonight everytime I hear "Let me be clear" or "make no mistake about it" which is followed by a big fat lie.

I hope I have enough booze.

My question is: Do you think it would be irresponsible to listen to tonight's debate in this manner while cleaning a gun or two?

Well if you leave the ammo put away its safe enough. Only issues I see is that if you drink at the level you described, you might just loose a few small parts and be unable to see them clearly if you try to find them. No reason to risk loosing parts to your weapons.

OK I'll leave my 1911s in the safe.

I have a colt 1917 a SW bodyguard 38spcl and AK that need some attention. Big parts w/ simple breakdown.

I'm going to listen to this thing, but I don't really want to.

Dude,

Your suggested drinking game is totally irresponsible!

This would kill a 200lb man in the first 45 minutes.

Obama just said millionairs and billionaires in three consecutive sentences.

Romney just said Ronald Reagan twice in a row.

Well, you could do the game with Michalob Ultra but not scotch.

Adam Young just won this game with bacardi 151.

Now, he's in the garage splitting an atom for relaxation.

It's a good thing I was drinking beer instead of whiskey! I kept switching from the debate to see how many versions of "Gangnam Style" were on youtube. US Naval Academy won.



The Koreans came in second.
