Isn't that why we all do stupid crap.

Unless you are gay, then you do it to impress dudes.

Story = Win
'Even' = fail

even steven knievel weevil, that's what they used to call me back in the puppy mill.

Even? How odd.

Sometimes you do stupid crap to impress your stupid bros, like in college.

Asked how confident he was, he replied: "I did the distance, everything is going swimmingly."

This does not bode well for a channel crossing...

Even Steven Knievel did have an even keel.

Sir_Spanksalot 2008-08-24 08:20:38 AM  
Ummm. Isn't this normal behavior? Everything is made up to impress the opposite sex. War, Sports, Kick ass cars and da bling bling ( hate that word.) Even Drama movies if your a whoopsie or a Metro sexual.

God.. Men with girly feelings and fashion echhhh!! The Chinese are going to eat us alive when the ultimate struggle begins.

/Watching closing ceremonies..Im expecting the neo light people to pull out A.Ks and kidnap all western fans, athletes and political leaders as a fancy and cute, yet first strike.
//The C.I.A put a chip in my brain.

'that is all' translates to 'i'm an ass'

Yes I'm sure their grimly resolved infantry hordes will serve them well against a bunch of girly men with UAV's, AWACS, JINTACCS, TMD, CMASINT, VASRD, and GBFEL.

Eventually there will be only one US soldier, he'll be wearing a cardigan and listening to Bright Eyes while he watches a computer screen and repeatedly presses "destroy target".

Heh, you know your absolutely right. Does that mean I can sell all my guns and ammo for the Linkin park cd I want?

For the destroy target you mentioned. Would you use a Traditioinal red button, A joystick or a mouse and keyboard. Im more of the 1980s "red" phone kinda guy. Im nostalgic in my destruction fantasies. Yes a rotary phone.

FTA: The 48-year-old Rossy is a former fighter pilot in the Swiss Air Force.

Wow. He must have seen a ton of action.

Well I was thinking kind of a "Command and Conquer" type interface, except without the single-player crap where you have to rescue Einstein using only a jeep and a dog.

now it's " I don't get mad, I get Evel"

I don't care about the grammar or the reason. That is just freaken cool!!!

Rocket wings man! ROCKET WINGS!

I had G.I. Joe rocket wings for my little Joes when I was a kid and it warped me. Now all my sexual fantasies involve rocket propulsion and marshmallow shapes from Lucky Charms cereal.

*sigh*
The sweet memories of youth...

My good man, you just rotsky'd a rotsky! That's a fail divided by zero that wraps all the way back around to win.

Even Knievel was Evel's lesser-known levelheaded brother.
