Crazy Idea! Skinner on the Spot!
Any one ever give some thought to putting one o' the heads of this site up on a talk show?

Seriously... Could these guys hold their own on say... "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart?

"HANNITY and colmes"?

"Reagan and What's her face"?

Etc. Etc...

Why not?

I'd say they have too much information and expertise at their disposal to not get a bite on the media.

He he... or have I just had one Rum Gimlet too many?

1. Doctor, are you using "heads" in the 60's sense of the term?
:hippie:

3. Rum Gimlet
2 oz light rum
1/2 oz Rose's® lime juice
1 lime wedge

Method
Pour the rum and rose's lime juice into a mixing glass half-filled with ice cubes. Stir well, and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime wedge, and serve.

4. Sounds awful . . .
A gin gimlet, on the other hand (also with Rose's -- it has no peer) sounds pretty tasty right now.

Whoops! It's 8:30 in the morning where I am. Maybe I'd better wait until the sun is over the yardarm in Cluj.

5. Oh, a rum with a "lime twist."
At least that's what I've always called it. Other than ales made by monks, that is my favorite drink. :)

10. NO! There's not nearly that much
lime in the drink!

But that otherwise covers it.

Nice Mr. Bill too! Your imagination never ceases to amaze me. I hope your dreams are more restful than your art!

8. These are "waking dreams."
My Gumby/Dumbya is the lighter side. The deeper dreams/concepts aren't allowed here...

Hmm... it's June already. :scared:

11. Yes, that one is the ultimate SR work in my view. And June was when the
invasion of Iran - probably with nuclear bombs - was going to happen. Possibly with a nuclear bomb planted in New York to convince the US public that iran War was necessary.

Let's just hope it's been shelved.

BTW, did you see this thread? Somebody else is Photoshopping for fun and profit...and got caught. I do hope this side-by-side comparison gets spread far and wide:

9. Yep. Too many rum gimlets.
Try a couple with vodka instead.

14. I had the same thought earlier tonight
when going through the CSPAN schedule post.

See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=3781949#3783327 entry #2.

Look at Kevin Aylward's credentials: "...I started Wizbang in April 2003 with no real goal or master plan, I just felt like talking - you know sort of like the Forrest Gump running thing..."

A real veteran!

16. Just a whole lot of nerve! Why would anyone suggest such?
n/t Rather mean, IMHO.

And yes, it must have been one two many gimlets.
