    Anything that will eventually lead to sharks with laser-cannon-tipped helmets patrolling our shores is A-OK in my book.
    My only question: who gets the naming rights, and will they be for the entire fleet of laser-eye-blasting sharks, or will it be on an individual basis?
    I hope the latter since Trai_Dep would look SO good tattooed on the side of a death-eye shark.

    Um... He changed the plans for the missile defense protecting the Czech Republic and Poland, not the U.S and the plans were only altered.

    Personally, I'd replace "Michigan" with "any place within 100 miles of Detroit," but I still agree. The only thriving part of the state is the Grand Rapids metropolitan area, and that's largely due to the fact that the DeVos/Van Andel/Meijer/etc. families have been so involved in its recent (and still in-progress) transformation into to a medical hub.

    @mattchew03: You're right; GR's relative prosperity has absolutely nothing to do with the area's low amount of auto-related industry.

    Of course, if you thought you were going to be able to work until retirement at Electrolux, Herman Miller, Steelcase, etc., you might as well have moved to Flint, Lansing, Pontiac, or Saginaw and taken your chances with the General.

    @mattchew03: Just a little sarcastic. I grew up in Saginasty and still have family in East GR; I fled the state in the early '80s when I saw the writing on the wall.

    Haha, do you just basically get high and ask yourself "What would Glenn Beck say about the economy?" You know, if Glenn Beck were funny.

    That fucking shark, with his bow-tie, top hat, cane in fin. "I'm just like you!" he says. "I'm just like you!"

    Well let me tell you something. He's not like you. He's not like me. Dorsal fin good, two legs bad. This system is so fucking gamed. It's bullshit. It's fucking bullshit. The next time I see that shark on the fucking street, I'm going to break his monocle and step on that stupid fucking tail.

    The world is a vampire squid. Suck my dick, shark. Smell the glove.

    Sharks are way too cool to not save. I can't imagine a future without them.

    Aw, poor shark. I've seen one of these in action (from a boat, thank god). Mouth like a train tunnel, but generally otherwise gives the impression of being a giant, dopey, lazy fish. I mean, it feeds by opening its mouth and swimming forward aimlessly. Not very menacing.



    ...unless you're swimming in krill. Because I'm not sure how a basking shark would react to a human squirming around in its mouth. Probably wouldn't like it.
