There could be no such thing as landed property originally. Man did not make the earth, and, though he had a natural right to occupy it, he had no right to locate as his property in perpetuity any part of it.

Whenever there's a military action in a US TV show, and the writer wants to convey some tactical expertise on the part of a commander, 'flanks' will be mentioned. There'll be 'outflanking'.

Def leppard- Hysteria now.
Lol I'm gonna post in this thread ALOT.
Want a honest opinion? I play both Games Workshop and Privateer press games. Yes GW has done goofed. But until I -stop- enjoying building, painting and playing their product. I will shamelessly buy from them. Privateer Press has created a wonderful steampunk setting. Has just as enjoyable models, is cheaper and is as fun to play with!

I am currently listening to a song that I have been searching for for over 11 years, and it's bugged me to no end. It's not exactly how I remembered it, but I still love it.

"imagine this straw...in your skull!!!" -Genghis Connie, former master of all 2nd grade (and Frazzled's light in a world of greys) Jeez she's as tall as the Wife now!
-"Wait a minute.....who is that Frazz is talking to in the gallery? Hmmm something is going on here.....Oh.... it seems there is some dispute over video taping of some sort......Frazz is really upset now..........wait a minute......whats he go there.......is it? Can it be?....Frazz has just unleashed his hidden weiner dog from his mini bag, while quoting shakespeares "Let slip the dogs the war!!" GG

Right now I'm listening to the Velvet Underground, specifically Venus in Furs and next Heroin. It is just that kind of day.
I would speculate that I have the most eclectic taste in music of anyone alive. My favorite band of all time is probably Jethro Tull, but recently I've been on a Steely Dan kick. I like country, but for some reason I'm very specifically into country of the years between, say, 1970-1985 or so.
I also like bands and individuals like Tony Joe White, Bobby Gentry, and or course Creedence, but thats more of a popular version of what I'm talking about.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
