The teabaggers are aware that Project Mayhem was a network of domestic terrorists hellbent on crippling this country, right? Not a bunch of wholesome country folk who believe that grandma is going to get put down with the dog?

I just want to know why we can't ever have a biscuit and gravy club? I'm thinking the only casualty would be extreme bloat, some digestive sluggishness, and perhaps a few lumps that certainly can be whipped out with a little elbow grease and milk. Great for extra soppage, right? Right. Clearly no fatalities. Just need strong arteries. Win for us all.

Beating on the short-busers...that's no trend we can believe in. Gravy....always.

@Spirit Fingers: Join me here in Texas, won't you? Hate to hate on my state (ignore that, please), but I promise, there are plenty of Gravy Club charter members rollin' around here like very, very heavy tumbleweeds.

@aLostLady: This Texas. This is a place I must visit. Anyplace where Gravy has a charter is a place where the land is plentiful, life is sweet, and blessed salt-cream must pour from the earth like mother's milk.

Now if I could only impose the same punishment on students who insist on writing "Fight Club" based papers. Four years in prison, you can get your college education there. Good day.

@minou: Dude, try doing a creative writing class with a bunch of18/19-year-old angry white suburban who've just discovered Chuck Palahniuk. That will make you want to have them punch each other in the face....Hey, now there's an idea.

Why is it that morons always take away the "beat the shit out of people" lesson from that movie, instead of, say, the "make soap by hand" lesson? Or the "don't fuck with Helena Bonham Carter" lesson?

At least you can take comfort in the fact that those retarded kids were probably already wearing helmets.

@GuidedbyVices: When I was in high school out there on that lonesome prairie, I thought, the vast gene pool of shallow ignorance of our elders must in time be selected out. Then I went back after some years to a reunion.

The schools of Texas manage each year to inculcate the valueless themes of the society unto such of their offspring which are unable to think, which is most. That's why it's a terminally red state. They seem very proud of that, so I leave them to it.
