And get her eyes checked out.
Do you NOT see the teeth?!
They BURN, I tell you. They burn…..
She knows what you did last night!
Holy Geeez! I’m going to have tea party nightmares all week now
What has been seen, cannot be unseen.
KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIREEEEEE!
FIRE!!FIRE!!
I am The Great Cornholio…
Is this a sign of being possessed by a space alien? I seem to remember this happening on Start Trek several times.
Wait, doesn’t it also happen on Supernatuaral? You can tell when people are possessed because their eyes are whacked out somehow.
you wanna talk about whacked out eyes…?
tattooed eyeballs {http://www.asylum.com/2010/01/12/eyeball-tattoos-david-boltjes-are-the-latest-in-prison-fashion/}
creeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy.
O.o
…I didn’t even know that was physically possible. Nightmare fuel if ever there was some.
(I’m surprised they didn’t go blind, considering the whole you’re-doing-this-in-jail thing)
what…? you don’t think they properly sterilized the equipment and used medical grade needles and the inks weren’t properly tested for use in the human body…?
oh hey, look at that old name… wow, haven’t posted from this computer in a while! aaaaaaaaaaand fixed.
Ahhhh, the memories.
Ahhhh, the mammaries. there i fixed it for you
This is relevant to my interests
I must respectfully agree with GB on this one.
*perks up* Boobies?
I’m with these three.
Not just any boobies, but Shorty Boobies!!!!
Ahem, I know I’m late…but did someone say boobies?
Oops…..mistyped my e-mail address.
Well…maybe he had a lighter, you know, for his smokes, and before he did anything he held all the equipment in the flame from the lighter. That’s totally 100% effective sterilization. And…they tested the inks when they were on kitchen duty by throwing them into the food. No one died (well, except Joe, but he was shanked, so that doesn’t count) which must mean it’s safe.
i saw an article about people doing this in a legit tattoo shop with sterilized equipment and everything… it’s just as effed up that way too.
and as for joe getting shanked… did they sterilize the shank first? i mean, if he didn’t die he’d have gotten a NASTY infection…
I wonder if it fades over time? Or if it may eventually effect your vision…I mean it looks cool now and doesn’t seem to have any side effects yet, but what about twenty years from now?
As for Joe, they didn’t sterilize the shank before hand and his cellmate is now suing the shanker for malshanking.
I hear they’re trying to bring tort reform to prison to cut down on the frivolous malshanking suits and to reduce the cost of malshanking insurance down to 2 cartons of cigarettes from 10 cartons.
The skin-heads in the yard said that tort reform would only reduce shank infections by 2%. While the blacks near the weights said that the skin-heads numbers on tort reform were convoluted, and they weren’t to be trusted. While the gays on the bleachers said they have an orifice i could hide my shank in, and they promised me that it’s disease free.
You gotta watch out for government takeover of shanking. You end up on a waiting list for your shank, and next thing you know, you get the chair before it even shows up!
Don’t forget that you have to give half your shank up so THAT everyone can get a shank. You need to spread the shanks.
It’s cigarette redistribution. I’m telling you, what happened to the capitalistic prisons we once knew?
I believe Obama’s Cabinet Appointees once arrested are making life rough for the prison system.
You know if it was Nixon appointees there’d be lists of people to watch
Bush appointees probably in the bathroom stalls…
Joe died? Whaaaaat???
He owed you smokes, didn’t he.
He was hiding something in his orifice for me…..
Ack!!!!
Or maybe she was hit with a cartoon hammer and is seeing Stars and Stripes…
AHHHH!
My reaction exactly.
Nothing about this picture is not terrifying. Heh.
This one is actually a funny one about tea partiers, not rude or obscene or anything. It’s funny. I like it.
But the TEETH!! THE TEEEEETHHHHH!!!!!!
Whoa! WTF happened there?
Dangit! I changed my avatar at gravatar. Hurry up!
When you change your avatar at gravatar it sometimes take a few minutes to show up. Clear your cache too. Plus, it automatically signs you into your gravatar account name for PK when you do that as well. Annoying, I know.
Funny how that was anooying and Ivan’s name at Gravatar has annoying in it. (NOT calling Ivan annoying, just pointing out something somewhat funny)
You used to be a minor annoyance to me, but since the antichrist thing, it’s vendetta time. Just a heads up. Wakka wakka wakka.
(In Barney Fwanks voice) RAWR HEAR TEH MIGHTY ROAR OF THE BEARDED CLAM!!!
Opps, I was wrong. It’s the shaved oyster.
Oh look PB! Your wife has rushed to your defense! That’s so sweet.
You are the one with 2 man crushes now. And the one that believes in gay marriage.
Yeah, but we all know it’s the ones who doth protest too much about gay marriage that are the ones caught in the gay scandals.
Yep. And Ivan is constantly screaming about others being gay, and making womanizing insults, though he claims to so open minded. I think he’s in the closet.
And BTW, I’ve spoken many times about getting the govt out of the marriage business, period.
Now, go bark and sit back on Ivan’s lap…..
Are you ƒucking kidding me, you hypocrite? How long did you go on with that “you have to get over me, Ivan” sh!t, and calling me “Fifi” and referring to me as “she”?? Are you really REALLY trying to transfer all that sh!t onto ME? LMAO You are truly a piece of work. Or are you just bat-sh!t crazy?
I have ALWAYS been in support of gar rights, and gay marriage. YOU are the homophobe. Show me screaming about someone being gay. SHOW me, ƒuckweasel™.
This is why I don’t come to PK anymore.
You tell me to F off, I tell you that you aren’t my type. Is that too hard for you to comprehend? And it plays off how you know so much about my physical appearance and oh so many other things you have hinted about on here.
You’ve commented on man boobs, my home address, my beard, and I don’t remember what else. You sir, have a problem.
Thank you for ruining this for me.
To be fair PB, you did admit to Kestral that you are a lesbian. That could explain the confusion.
DU: DAMN IT!! Once again missing the vital aspect of the rest of my statement (you must work for Fox News/ CNN/ MSNBC) I was a lesbien trapped in a man’s body. So if people were to pay attention to it all vice the little snippets they want there would be little confusion.
You left out CBS. Yes, I work for all of them.
Important question time: Are Ivan and JAC going to continue to fling repetitive insults and arguments at each other every other LOL?
What if I show my boobies? They’re 36EE….would that stop the insults?
*jaw drops*
I’ve never heard of birds that big!
*jaw is still dropped*
It’s important that he be there for PB. You know, since it wasn’t about him.
It wasn’t about you either. But your ego forces you to try and dominate, doesn’t it?
Don’t be daft. She’s a sub, why would she want to dominate?
Well, that whole taking the back legs and digging at the grass thing threw me off.
Remember when you jumped my sh!t saying I was disrespectful to Froo? I never said HALF the nasty sh!t that you are saying to Charro. Hypocrite much? Back up off the mermaid, you piece of sh!t.
Wow, seriously? Charro is one of the nicest people on PK. She even gets along with Dhoti. It’s bad enough when ou call Ivan Fifi and Rando his Mangy sidekick, but to be a d!ck to Charro? Aren’t you supposed to be some sort of good and forgiving christian? What would your God say to your behaviour? What would Jesus do? Calling one of the nicest people I know a dog probably isn’t one of those things.
Calling out pack behavior is just that. And since DU brought it up, Jesus called out people on their behavior too. Remember the “pit of vipers comment” or the calling of Herod a “fox?”
Like PB said below, she has been nasty to me, jumping in for no absolute reason.
And Fifi, you were nasty to Froo. If I saw that happen in real life, I would be in jail for stomping some manners into you.
JAC, learn when to quit.
Froo, Jac, Charro…….. let’s all get a beer.
Simply put: Ivan does not like JAC and ILPB and sometimes Dhoti (that’s clear), so really let’s just let it be.
And JAC I didn’t Charro was being mean, I said she was jumping on you for “It’s not about you” however it wasn’t about her. You were defednign me against Ivan so really it shouldn’t involve her or Rando, however it just seems we’re all going to get into this stupid spin of He said she said and get angrier. To me Ivan’s not worth. We should just lay low about him for a while, let it all blow over, and when the beast calms down we can put down our rocks, he’ll put down his sword and we’ll kill each other like civilized men.
PB, I was laying low. I got brought into this today out of nowhere.
Now I’m heading to the fridge for a cold Michelob light.
JAC, by laying low we should not insult each other. We should just respond with wit and or kindess. WWJD? Or WWCND?
PB, I stayed out of the insults until it got constant on me. Though I have NO problem just dropping it and going back to the merry chit chat. In fact, I prefer it. That was kind of the point to the Michelob comment.
JAC, you can’t drop a hot rock while it’s burning your skin to crispy fritters while you speak. If you feel you’ve been done injustice or insulted, even if that insult is perepheral and not really about you, or the injustice is slight or even imagined, you have no clue when to quit. I’m done. That’s it. You’ve insulted my friends over and over instead of dropping it, and you can’t keep doing it and expect nothign to happen. You have no idea when to take things as a joke,and you troll around looking for insult where none was apparent. Until YOU got there, that is.
No more. In the words of Dwight Schrute, you’re shunned.
Here, have a Michelob.
You mena like how you Rando and Charro jump to each other’s defense when they think there’s a twit or a$$hat picking on you. Look Ma it’s a fvcktard Hypocrite!!!!! **points at Ivan**
Hey, I’m an equal opportunity defense jumper, so long as the person is worthy of it. I’ve defended you before PB. I’m hurt.
Bingo PB. I have no qualms with Charro, though I disagree with her on almost everything.
To tell the truth, it’s gotten boring. At least come up with something new.
If you have “no qualms” (and I don’t think that means what you think it means. You probably meant quarrels?) with her, why did you just call her a dog?
Well PB as long as you weren’t aiming it at me, I won’t be hurt. *hugs*
Usually, like I said, I just scroll past JAC’s avatar because when I don’t, all I get is mindless drivel which is annoying, uneducated and pompous and I have no time for any of his inane chit chat. If you think he’s getting the short end of the stick I will accept that as your perspective. From my perspective, he’s an annoying twit who can’t admit when he’s wrong despite the actual facts at hand. There is no point in trying to talk with him, so generally, I don’t. He’s two faced, hypocritical and all around unpleasant.
I said it before and I’ll say it again, I am doing my best to ignore him so that I don’t have to deal with his crap. But if I am having a conversation with someone else about him, I’m not going be all sugar sweet just to not offend him. He doesn’t deserve it.
If you just roll past, then WHY do you keep jumping in making nasty remarks? If you weren’t doing so, PB wouldn’t have made his comment.
JAC you are out of line. Charro does not deserve your rudeness.
I haven’t deserved her rudeness for the last week or so. Just so you know. (totally unprovoked, BTW)
That’s funny, JAC, but you never do seem to deserve anyone’s rudeness. However, you’re the only one who seems to think so.
Creature: I tend to think t times JAC does get the short end of the stick, then again at times he deserves it. HOWEVER we’ve set this behind for now, we’re going to be good little Pundits, we have our limits. The Conservative Trifecta can not insult Ivan, Ivan can not insult the Conservative Trifecta.
No, when I engage with people on a rough play, I expect rough play. When I’ve said nothing to, for, our about someone, and they continue to make nasty remarks about me out of the blue, then I comment about their rudeness.
JAC – here, have a Michelob.
ILPB – I think you need to tell JAC that things are supposed to have been set behind!
Creature, it is behind, I was just clarifying things to you. Thanks for the Michelob. Would you care for a nice T-bone, fresh off the grill? And be sure to notice the bacon wrap.
**urrrp**
So, JAC, you won’t forget everything’s behind you and lapse again, will you ??
Forget what?
You’re asking “Forget what?”??
errr, the fact that “Creature, it is behind. I was just clarifying things to you” – after our little exchange when I commented on your behaviour to Charro.
Does that clarify things to you?
How could I remember something that’s been put in the past! ;p (I think you missed that I was using humor, or at least attempting to)
**head desk** Creature, the “Forget what?” was that he forgot all about the fighting… it was kind of hypothetical/ sarcastic.
JAC and ILPB – i think you’re both missing my point – my last two posts had a
attached. That signifies humour, jesting, fun, joking, not meant to be taken seriously etc.
Do a
you two – tomorrow’s Friday! 
I know that the
stands for jest or making light of something, however it seemed like you missed the point that’s all.
Look, everyone, BOOBIES!!!
( o )( o )
*runs away giggling*
Nah, I was jesting, that’s all.
Have a happy Friday, ILPB!
**GAWKS at boobies** umm wha creature, yeah sure whatever you say… yeah… ok sure. I agree completely.
there are 365 days in a year (barring leap years, we’re going to ignore those for ease) let’s say for arguement’s sake that people here are roughly 30 years old (some older, some younger, I really don’t care) that means they’ve roughtly been alive for 10950 days. The average time spent posting a single comment roughly equates to 5 minutes (from completely made up data based on length of posts, and typical WPM of people) meaning that of their entire life, you’re asking them to remember just 5 minutes out of 15,768,000. Don’t you think you’re asking a little much (do not use this logic on your boss unless he has a sense of humor.)
Congratulations, you have failed to make any damn sense!
Aren’t you the one who accused Ivan of stalking you? Constantly making comments on threads that had nothing to do with him? Hmmmmm….JAC, me thinks you have a problem. It’s called hypocrisy.
Nucky: I think that most of what’s been going on lately is hypocritical from many involved (meself included).
Yes, way too much hypocrisy, not enough boobage!!!
Too bad you can’t read the entire thread and see where it all began……Or that the entire thing has been put in the past.
BBBBBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTT it’s all behind us, there’s a truce or cease fire (similar to the one between the Koreas) so we’ll all be good.
Here, have a Michelob!
I hate Michelob you conservative HICK!!
That’s Canadian Beer, what you can’t buy American, you traitorous bastard.
Actually, it’s owned by a Dutch company now. Along with Bud and the rest of Anheiser Busch.
I like the good clean crisp bite of Michelob. I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, it’s better than others…..
Sam Adams. Need I say more.
Some of those specialty Sam Adams are quite good. Some aren’t worth pouring down the drain. I did like the bitter dark they made last year. And there is a pale ale that is top notch.
I gotta say it!
Budweiser is not owned by a Dutch company, it’s Belgian!!!! (Really… No Kidding…)
I finally got to get in a Belgian joke!!! Booyah!
Hmmm. I was wrong, you were right.
**head desk** But it’s not a joke if it’s true, then it’s IRONIC!!
+5 Interwebs for effort.
I finally got in on saying “Belgian” in a thread?
I’m kind of new at this ‘joshing around’ stuff …
Anybody watch That 70′s Show when Hyde’s sister kept trying to ‘burn’ someone… I feel like that
Oh, and where can I find a ‘cheat sheet’ on the cool faces? (some things just don’t call for a wink
I only use : – ) and ; – ). Otheres can help with that. No worries you can get it. look for someone who’s posted something that’s been said like 50 times before.
For instance on the Recess thread for or five people said it wasn’t funny but sad, therefore Belgian is appropriate. Also if someone throws out Belgian feel free to use Waffles, Ukranian Stewardesses, Elebenty, Obama is Muslin, Racist, or Socialist.
Communist-ist!!
1. I can and did read the whole thread.
2. The ceasefire began after I posted my comment.
3. I don’t drink michelob, that stuff is crap. Anyone got an Innis & Gunn?
Sorry, it’s my day off and I slept in and in a half awake state missed the time stamp.
I had a couple of bottles of Guinness about a month ago. Sorry, but they are already gone.
S’alright. But not guinness, Innis & Gunn. It’s a scottish ale….mmmmmm, honey based. It’s fabulous.
I’ll have to look for that.
Ivan, you know what’s funny? I can see your new avatar up in the “who’s talking now” box, but not in the comments. Funny.
Clear your cache.
I prefer the incongruence, thanks.
Holy sh!t dude. I can see your new avatar. O_O
Yeah, the eebil has been awakened.
I can’t. I don’t remember how to clear my cache. And why did that sound dirty?
Because you are Jane, the dirty, dirty Queen of PK.
I’d clear your cache, but I’m married.
I’m not married, and I do believe I’m rather qualified to clear your cache any way you’d like it. After all I am a professional.
A professional? Does that mean you charge for your services? Because I can clear her cache myself, and I’d do it for free.
There are sometimes substantial discounts for preferred users.
Well…maybe…for a free trail…But if you’re going to clean her cache you’re going to need these *holds up duffel bag filled with rope, ball gag, hand cuffs, whipped cream, whips and a few other…um tools of the trade….* And make sure to get the safe-er password before you start.
My safeword is “Oh my god stop stop please please stop!!” But two pleases. If I only say it once, you do whatever you want.
I’ll be in my bunk…
this is a house quote, no?
That is a quote from “Serenity” – it’s Jane. “I’ll be in my bunk.” LOL
I’m trying to think what happened right beforehand . . . something to trigger fantasies, if one would be so inclined.
Shorty, my quote was from House
Why doesn’t she have beautiful white false teeth like most teabaggers?
She must be one of those mythical poor Republicans; can’t affort beautiful teeth.
Every senior has beautiful teeth in red states, either they can afford veneers or they had false teeth by their 50s.
Yes! Save the money spent on the wacky contacts and get something done with the teeth!
OH GOD GET IT AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
*curls into a ball and whimpers*
deep breaths, it’ll be ok, whatever you do don’t scroll up
feel better now?
I know I do
They actually sell American flag contacts now?
I am frightened for the future of my country…
That’s not nearly as scary as her American flag diaphragm.
Border control?
Unnecessary border control, at her age.
OMG thats disgusting and hilarious… *vomit* *laughing* *vomit* *laughing* oh god stop please
I want those!
Well, most of all I want to be able to wear crazy colour contacts, but I suspect they don’t go well together with the regular ones. :p
I want white ones so it looks like I have eyes like Peanuts characters.
I want the ones that give you zombie eyes.
I did the reptilian ones in highschool, some of the reactions were hilarious, but the novelty wore off pretty quick. Oh and you can get them in a prescription, over here at least, Danbala, assuming you don’t need a really bizarre prescription.
I want to get weird non-prescription contacts to wear with my glasses so people will be all “WTF, if she has contacts why would she be wearing glasses? They must be real!!! ZOMG!”
I know some of them come with prescription, but as I’m near-sighted as a bat, they’d probably have to be more or less custom made and cost a smaller fortune. I haven’t really checked up on it very carefully.
My mother used tinted ones until she got cataract surgery–it helped her find the darned things to put them in and take them out!
Standard lenses very often have a faint blue tint. Makes it possible to see them if you drop them on a white sink and the like.
Read that as drop them on a white sink or in the lake…
I think I need more coffee today.
.. and having checked up on it a bit more, the prescription ones go to -4 which is about half way to what I’d need. :/
Dang, you *are* blind, Danbala! I’m -5.00 & -4.75, IIRC.
But now, I’m having problems reading labels & menus with my contacts IN, so–I guess, just call me Ms. Magoo*.
*I hope you get that reference. Ever see that cartoon?
{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_magoo}
I’m -6 and -5.75 R&L respectively. Well, last time I went to the doc anyway. Which was 2 years ago. Hrmpth.
I should probably get mine checked out, mostly because I’ve been having odd spots in my left eye on occasion, and who would want to miss seeing all this beauty (it wouldn’t surprise me if I did eventually need glasses, both my parents have em even though I have had better than normal vision most of my life.
So, we’re all nearsighted as hell . . . can you imagine if we all lost our contacts at once?
that would be one of the most amusing comedy sketches of the year. You could seriously sell that.
Charro would like it cuz she could use the excuse to feel her way around . . .
and that could be sold for more to different companies
[Let me try that again.]
*Bom-chicka-wow-woowww*
Eh, I don’t need an excuse to do that. *feels around* Hee hee.
*helps* Wow Charro, your glasses are huge! And so soft!
i’m not that bad… -2.25 and -1.75. but i’m going to the eye doc in 2 weeks because i’ve noticed the far range of my vision getting blurry. oh, and it’s been 3 years since my last check-up (whoops).
*grumbles* Doc just told me Tues that I will soon need bifocals.
My doctor once asked me if I wanted bifocals….I was only 30 at the time!!!! I kicked him in the shin and ran away.
I love watching my dad put on his bifocals over his contacts.
Then I cry because I know that’s my future.
::sigh::
It’s my present. But the doc just told me I could go get some of those “cheaters”, those magnifiers, you know, like at the drugstore? My sight is really bad in low-lit restaurants and when I just come in from outside and need to read labels to cook supper. What really bites is that I’m wearing multifocal contacts right now! Sometimes they work–oftentimes they don’t.
I just got new glasses today.
They’re a rather different look for me, not the usual wire rimmed ones. And my prescription keeps getting progressively worse. I don’t know what it is, though.
FDA says salt.
Say what?
“And my prescription keeps getting progressively worse. I don’t know what it is, though.”
FDA says salt.
Really? That’s weird. The astigmatism probably has something to do with it too.
I’m not so sure it’s too much salt (though the average person DOES tend to eat too much salt anyway) but more a lack of betacaratine and vitamin A in the average persons diet. Both those are quite helpful for eyesight. Granted there are still some types of eye issues those will not help. Carrots are a great source of both nutrients, though be mindful not to follow the advice of HeadOn, whatever you do, do not apply directly to the eye.
Actually nearsightedness is usually caused by issues with curvature of the cornea, lens defects or the natural hardening of the lens over time. As high blood pressure is often a contributing factor in deforming the cornea, high levels of salt can indeed have a degenerative effect on vision. /pedantic
-8.75 and -9.24 R&L respectively. I am teh blind.
But where you blinded by SCIENCE?
Yeah, the white ones look really interesting.
Off topic but maybe necessary. I just got a news flash about McAfee deleting necessary Windows files and shutting down PCs. If you have McAfee on your pc, you may want to stop if from updating. And also consider removing it and replacing it with another antivirus of your choice.
I ditched McAfee (and at a later date Norton), when I had to have some antiviral work done, because the techs told me 1) they weren’t very good and 2) they each used up more memory than most viruses.
I remember when Peter Norton’s PC Tools (That is what was on the box and the disk) was the best thing since sliced bread. It’s a shame what happened to Norton.
I can confirm the warning… I’m running my legs off trying to fix the machines of people who didn’t take my warnings about McAffee years ago.
I totally agree with you about Norton JAC, it’s a shame they let themselves get soft and bloated like that, but that’s how the free market works, lose your edge, lose your clients. Their latest AV is finally showing signs of improvement, but I still won’t touch their Internet security, or 360 products.
Boston.com just had an article about a few different hospitals getting messed by by the McAffee problem, and having to delay surgeries and not admit ‘minor’ emergency patients for a bit (cuts needing stitches and broken bones sent off to other hospitals). Pretty scary, actually. What sort of anti-viral software is used by air-traffic control computers, anyway?
None, ATC runs on a closed circuit network, no internet access. You’d need physical access to an ATC machine to infect it, and if you have that no amount of anti-virus can keep you out for long.
Any recommendations on anti-virus/spyware software? I’ve not had a problem since the mid 90′s, but it never hurts to have information from someone working in the field.
Not Norton, for starters.
For some free alternatives I would recommend Microsoft Security Essentials, Avast, or AntiVir. All have free versions for home users and are fairly light weight. AntiVir is a little complicated for the average user but the others are simple, light weight, set-it-and-forget-it style antiviruses.
This place is useful if you want to do some comparison shopping
{http://www.av-comparatives.org/comparativesreviews/main-tests}
What do you think of AVG?
Similar story to Norton, they were really good until they started to get too popular, then they got lazy.
yeah, i have multiple customers bring me infected computers runing AVG and Mcafee. Green Beard’s Avast suggestion is a good one if you are looking for a free client. If you are going the paid route, Malwarebytes offers an almost impenetrable virus defense and in case you are infected their virus scan is the best removal tool out there.
Yes, their free version works wonders for cleanup, but it doesn’t have active protection, the paid version is pretty bullet-proof though.
it’s important to note that Malwarebytes updates at least twice a week. It’s good stuff man. None of that weak crap you buy on the corner, this is high grade premium.
Avast is the best free AV. I’ve been using it for years, and never had any issues.
If you don’t mind paying, NOD32 by Eset is pretty damn good. Works without you asking it to and you otherwise do not even know it is there. Updates about a dozen times a day without buggering your work.
I ditched McAfee for being the most useless piece of crap ever a few years ago, even though they were offering it free with AOL. It would literally catch nothing in the AV or the spyware, but once I ran another program just ONCE it picked up a ton of stuff McAfee missed. Pathetic.
McAffee couldn’t get rid of the virus called boobers, could it?
There’s still no known anti-virus for that one.
This is just a theory of mine because I have no way to prove it to be true or not. But I believe it’s the Anti-Virus programmers that actually create the viruses. Once McAfee and Norton started paying more attention to their wallets and not enough attention to their programmers, the only people who know all the holes in their product, they just went somewhere else and basically made the Norton and McAfee brands irrelevant by creating viruses that couldn’t be stopped by either. Without continued virus threats, the Antivirus industry doesn’t exist. Keeps me in business so i’m not complaining, and it’s just a theory.
Neh…there were bored teenagers who knew more about computers than they had any right to making viruses long before McAfee and Norton started to suck. With more and more information on line it just makes virus making an even more lucrative business, now it’s not just something to do to piss people off, now you can get their bank account number, their paypal address, their SSN, their mothers maiden name and their kitchen sink with the right viruses.
Worse than that are the botnets. Used effectively a botnet is the equivalent of a nuclear strike on a regional or national network (eg. what a group of Russian ‘patriots’ did to Georgia during their most recent conflict).
Where most viruses were once made by bored college students, today most are built by organized crime. There’s big money in viruses today, but most you will never see. The ones that kill your machine are usually done by amateurs, easily spotted so they don’t do much good to their creators. The really dangerous ones you won’t know are there until something tragic happens (your rent check bounces because your life savings has been cleaned out, China and Japan declare cyber-war on each other using American zombies (botnet infected computers), etc.)
i’m aware that virtual warfare is f’ing scary as hell. My point was that anti-virus coders have to be aware of how to write the viruses that can impede said “anti virus”. Bots and zombies are a true threat, but thats not what i was referring to. Not even the best antivirus out there will protect you from a chinese “virtual invasion”. I say that with much respect to the Chinese…they have been focusing on the future a lot more than the Americans have. We just fight amongst ourselves and think guns and nukes will save us, all the while the Chinese have become the worlds new superpower. Half of our country can’t seem to agree with the other half…while China takes over the globe. not trying to scare anybody, just saying that we should start working together instead of against each other. i am drunk, but i’m also honest.
Sorry wicket, I was speaking more to DU’s comment. I certainly agree with your theory of where a lot of viruses come from. The best way to make a white-hat turn black is to treat her/him like a commodity and pay him/her just barely enough to live off of (or ‘downsize’ her/him that always engenders good feelings).
The right-wing crazies have taken over the republican party. Be sane, vote democrat!
The left wing crazies have taken over the Democratic party. Be sane throw all the bums out from both parties.
boober, what are you trying to get out of this?
some left wing crazy fangirls?
But those are all taken by rock bands… so he’s only going to get twilight fangirls. Which will land him in prision for propositioning a 12 year old.
He could be looking for a twilight mom…those are scary….
true enough
*insert long rant on crazy, snake tongued liberal democracks here*
Democrack? Pfffffffffff. You gotta try some real crack, sonny.
The demo crack is just what we give out as free sample to the kiddies on the playground to get them hooked. If they want the real stuff after that they have to pay up.
That’s just mean. Giving kids democrack. False advertising I tells ye!
i don’t really pay attention to politics, can someone tell me what the tea baggers’ philosophy is?
I think the philosophy is smaller government that stays closer to the constitution. The fringe crazy members are mostly about Obama hate.
Uuuuh, if you don’t pay attention to politics, why are you here?
Secret fetish for old women possessed by patriotic acid. With bad teeth.
guess that’s better than a secret fetish for old women on un-patriotic acid. lol
they think their white privilege is under attack but they don’t know how to articulate that so they just whine about whatever the radio tells them to whine about. it empowers them or something.
Plus it gets them out of the house and getting some fresh air.
I believe the term you were looking for is Quack!
cause most of the pictures i don’t get, some i do. this is one i don’t get, mostly cause i don’t know anything about tea baggers, other than they’re nationalists and conservatives
Well, having a knowledge of the tea party won’t help you get the joke. She looks like she’s crazy and hopped up on to much caffeine, so the captioner is recommending she switch to decaf tea (because she’s a tea partier, it would usually be decaf coffee)to calm down.
Okay, taking patriotism way too far…
Yes, she looks a little creepy.
Then why aren’t her teeth patriotically white?
And I bet that’s only been said 51 times.
Actually, although there have many comments about her teeth being generally bad, there has been nothing about her teeth not being patriotically colored.
Her teeth don’t look any worse to me than most american’s of her apparent age. e.g. she has lots of fillings and at least one crown.
She could have that uneven crown replaced and her teeth whitened, but what’s the point? Why pick out her teeth to cosmetically enhance, why not pick on her undyed hair for example?
Or her ears?
The un-even crown does just seem like shoddy dentistry to me. The teeth combined with her expression and the contacts just make her look crazy. I think if she didn’t have the contacts and the crazy expression her teeth would go by unremarked.
Wow those contacts are …..different. Easier to clean up than face paint or hair dye i suppose.
She’s from up in San Francisco. She was a counter protest/support rally against Code Pink and their efforts to drive a US Marine Officer Recruiter out of town.
Code Pink FAILED.

ZOMBIES?!
OH SH!T, I’M NOT READY FOR THE APOCALYPSE YET! I haven’t even started hoarding food and ammo! D: I’m so unprepared!
Make sure you follow the rules… and for this one I’d definintely use Rule #2 the Double Tap.
What does that mean? The “Double Tap” meme?
Never mind. Thank you Urban Dictionary.
Zombieland reference there.
Rule #4: Fasten your seatbelt.
If my mother pulled a stunt like that I’d shoot her myself.
I think someone needs some professional therapy..
I’d be inclined to agree. I know a few that would have a field day with this one.
her eyes FREAK, ME OUT. THAT is the definition of nationalism right there.
Aren’t these the same folks who also think flag desecration should be a capital offense?
Dear lord in purgatory, make it stop staring at me!
PATRIOTISM, n. Combustible rubbish read to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name.
In Dr. Johnson’s famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.
–Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary, 1911
I met this lady while traveling a few years ago. How could I forget her? She was super kind to me and my husband. We chatted while she walked her dog. A nicer lady could not be imagined. I hope she is well.
The eyes are creepy, but w000t for Tea Party People
I attended the one in Washington D.C. Not two weeks ago with my entire High School class, and it was amazing. The Speakers were very inspiring….. though some of the anti-Tea Party People that turned up to harass us were really ugly….. but i got them on camera 
If my health plan covered Star Spangled Banner contact lenses, I would believe that health care doesn’t need reforming, too!
Though she really SHOULD see a Dentist about those nasty fangs.
Oh snap, that woman is actually my neighbor. Ill post a pic of her house, it matches her completely.
Oh hiii scary lady.. Are you staring into my soul?
