1 OK, THAT'S IT! For finding another quiz, and thereby taking me away from studying, you are not allowed to eat any bugs, or eye-ball-jelly on toast for 3 days. In stead you will be forced to cook your meat and brush your teeth during that time.

2 Man, I got Adolf Hitler. I am paranoid but killing all your enemies does help to relieve anxiety. I tend to see threats everywhere and always focus on worst case scenarios. The only problem is I have no enemies, at least none that survived. I have to plead the fifth on that one though.

3 "brush teeth?" What for? Why would one do this sort of thing? Arbitrator, I think you just explained your result...

4 There is something wrong with this test... I got: You are an emaciated do gooder. You are Gandhi. Morals matter toyou and you like to lead by example. Perfection is important to you.

6 Hey I was Albert Einstein. NOW that is funnny.

7 I think was the hair, Raven...

8 I got Einstein as well. You owe me a beer Ogre to compensate for the one that came out of my nose when I saw my results.

9 I can't take the quiz from work, but I just couldn't wait to say the following.... MILD MANNERED? - Ogre??? PEACEFUL NATURE? - Again, Ogre?? Dude? Did you cheat??? Or is it one of those "opposites" things...... ;-)

Posted by: Tammi at September 07, 2006 06:43 PM (Bitcf)

10 Tomslick, you could have licked that one up... What? I'm so peaceful, you can, well, I dunno what you do with peaceful stuff. I'm very peaceful. I do, however, subscribe to the Ronald Reagan version of peace: Peace through superior firepower...

11 I took this a long time ago, and was hoping to trick it, but once again I got - You are Saddam Husseiun. People who like you had better like toxic weapons. A sweetheart like me!

Posted by: Peter Porcupine at September 08, 2006 08:44 PM (532QC)

12 I guess SOME people thought Saddam was a sweetheart...like Kerry and the Democrats...

If you're a drug dealer, today is a good day for you. The North Carolina court of appeals has ruled that it's okay to hide drugs under your balls because police aren't allowed to search for drugs there, even if you're a convicted drug dealer in a known drug area acting nervous because you're dealing and carrying drugs.

Yes, the court actually ruled it was unreasonable to look down a man's pants for drugs, even when that man has given consent to a search and has numerous prior convictions for dealing drugs (and yet is still on the street).

I think this also illustrates the complete and utter failure of the war on drugs. How many thousands of taxpayer dollars were spent on this case? How much money was spent by the taxpayer on police salaries, court costs, jail costs, and public defender costs on this ONE case, which has now been ruled completely useless? But don't worry -- the case might be appealed, in which case we can spend even MORE taxpayer money on this case!

Folks, we've lost the war. It's time to surrender. The war on drugs is a waste of time and money. If people want to kill themselves with drugs, GOVERNMENT has no role in stopping them. If people do other illegal things while under the influence of drugs, certainly, punish them. Otherwise, stop wasting my time and money!

A reader here at Right Truth, Ralph Ekwall, who doesn't like the Fair Tax sent me an email. He seemed to think that I would not be interested in hearing his opinions, but that could not be further from the truth. I think healthy debate is good and encourage it. Below are his arguments and our reply:

Is Tom Tancredo running for president? I predict now that if he runs, and if the Republican "leadership" doesn't oppose him, he will win in a landslide. Why? Because his issue is illegal immigration -- and he, unlike ANYONE currently in Washington, D.C., actually opposes illegals and supports America.

Apparently raising taxes by over a billion dollars AND adding hundreds of millions of new spending from the lottery STILL isn't enough money for the state of North Carolina. The latest? A brand-new tax on televisions.

Last legislative session, the Democrats in North Carolina raised taxes on nearly everything they could find: candy, movie tickets, newspapers, cable television, property, income, and dozens of other things. Now, however, they realized they missed adding a tax on televisions and computer monitors. But don't worry, they've realized they forgot that one and they'll be sure to add it next year.

Anyone want to bet if that tax will be increased if Republicans get control of the House? I know if conservatives get control it won't.

Have you seen IIQ illusions and allusions? It's a lovely blog that's decided to advertise here at Ogre's. You can see the link in the upper left side there -- it's the mostly white square. The blog is

Idle feed of thought on politics, sport, technology and those topics of complete inconsequentiality...

This week's Tarheel Tavern has been posted at 2 Sides 2 Ron. Head on over and have a read. For those not familiar with this carnival, it's a round up of posts from and about North Carolina and by Bloggers in North Carolina. It's fun! Go read!

Also posted now is this week's Carnival of Liberty. If you only read one carnival a week, this one should be it. This is a bunch of posts with one common theme: liberty and the loss of it. Very good reading each and every week.

I sense a bit of laziness in the memes making the rounds these days. In this case, someone has apparently tried to "tag" me with a meme, but she didn't even officially "tag" me -- she just sent it along. And as for directions, there simply are NONE! How am I supposed to misinterpret the directions if there's no directions for me to follow? Sigh.

Anyway, the questions that have been "sent" to me are all about books. I'm not sure what I'm actually supposed to DO with the questions. In fact, looking back at the post, there aren't even any QUESTIONS. Instead, there are just sentence fragments. How can you answer a sentence fragment? If I asked you, "So, yellow dumptrucks." Would you even bother to answer? Would you know it was a question? Heck, there's not even ONE question mark in that entire post!

Therefore, I shall do this meme, without directions. I shall simply answer every single question that was asked. Here you go:

5 How can I possible cheat? To cheat, there have to be defined rules and directions! I didn't get ANY, so I cannot have broken the rules!

6 Are you going to answer the dump truck question or not?

Posted by: Tomslick at September 05, 2006 07:35 PM (RpnNu)

Did you catch this sign at the illegal alien "protest" march in Chicago?

Huh. Guess you also might have missed that Miller is now claiming they voted against illegal immigration before they voted for it. Read that link if you want all the details. If you don't, the simple details are that Miller Brewing Company gave $30,000 to support illegal immigration. They have paid for advertisements to oppose immigration reform laws. They are opposed to America and it's borders.

As reader Robert notes,

And why shouldn't they? They are owned by South African Breweries. Not an American company.
Coors? Owned by Molson in Canada.

I drink only Anheuser-Busch products when it comes to adult beverages.

Jeff Taylor, writing at The Meck Deck describes a possible improvement to the North Carolina Department of Transportation road planning board. They might actually pave the broken roads instead of building roads that no one uses if they used this planning method:

Oh, and that's WITHOUT the computer, of course.

One more Photoshop of Miller. If you support America, avoid Miller.

Angel sends along the treadmill music video. If you haven't seen it, take a peek, it's great.

And if you have seen it, don't be afraid to check out the Lego Version or the Chipmunk version!

1 OMG!!! That is hilarious

Posted by: vw bug at September 01, 2006 06:59 PM (+sDvC)

2 Which one?

3 I'm speechless. Its the chipmunk one... Holy crap. It's like a trainwreck. What a riot!

4 I only wish I had that much time on my hands!

5 They are all so hilarious...!

Posted by: Mrs_Who at September 02, 2006 04:19 AM (eEMcx)

6 Sitting with mouth open in stunned awe that 4 grown men have that much time on their hands and dare to be videoed in pink and the fact that they are damn good at it. All were hilarious.

Posted by: Tink at September 02, 2006 02:17 PM (wi/sM)

7 And as I watched the Lego one I thought, 'someone has too much time...' All that stop/go filming. Good Grief. So funny.

Posted by: Bou at September 02, 2006 06:24 PM (iHxT3)

8 While I must say that is quite possibly the corniest and strangest video I have yet to see here, I must admit it was well done, and to be able to walk down a row of treadmills going opposite ways w/o falling is IMPRESSIVE. As for which is best, I would have to say the chipmunk one, then lego, then "normal". As for me, I'm with you here, I wish I HAD that much free time, but even If I did, I probably would not do that, I'd probably just sleep or something in stead.

Normally Fridays are for silliness, but with the holiday weekend coming up, I thought I'd take a moment and highlight the fact that Miller Brewing Company completely, totally, and financially supports breaking the law and illegal immigrants. Read all the details at Michelle Malkin.

Feel free to join in the photoshopping yourself. And stay away from all types of Miller Brewery's beer (including Foster's) this weekend (and every day) if you like America -- because Miller will take your money that you spend on their beer and use it to help destroy America's borders.

And people are writing Miller. Feel free to join in.

I'd like to point out one of Princess Cat's rather... interesting posts. She says:

I have a lot of underwear...

Use ice...

gather up the fabric ... so that it's exposed...

using circular motions... edge of the second ice cube...

good lighting is important...

using a variety of techniques, I've managed to ...

you're almost assuredly screwed...

When the State of North Carolina was working on making gambling legal -- but only if the state does it, of course, their primary argument was that it was "for the children." At the time, one of the signs held up by Republican Representatives in the House read, "Prostitution for Education," trying to point out the absurdity that ANYTHING is permissible if it's "for the children." Well, turns out that's not so absurd, after all.

In Las Vegas, capital of filth, USA, they're stripping for the children. Since it is NV, it does seem to be highly likely that Brothels For the Children will be next. Why not? "For the Children" STILL works! I can't believe there are that many idiots around, but clearly there are.

Here's a novel idea -- how about the damn government pay for schools, like they're supposed to! If they can't afford it, shut it down! If the government cannot legitimately raise enough money to educate children, they should stop trying. Why should I donate one dime to the schools? I already pay thousands every single year to support them via taxes.

Government is utterly incapable of educating it's citizens. It's time they stopped trying.

Jim Black is a corrupt Democrat who is the sitting speaker of the North Carolina House. While he is being investigated by various federal officials and protected by the Democrat-run state board of elections, he is running for re-election! Hal Jordan is the fellow that's running against him, trying to bring a little bit of honestly to the office.
