And finally, some proper stepping instructions from Infantry Drill Regulations, 1911:
60. The length of the full step in quick time is 30 inches, measured from heel to hell, and the cadence is at the rate of 120 per minute.The length of the full step in double time is 36 inches; the cadence is at the rate of 180 steps per minute.
The instructor, when necessary, indicates the cadence of the step by calling one, two, three, four, or left, right, the instant the left and right foot, respectively, should be planted.
I don't understand why he would come up with such a lame reason for his disappearance. He fell, fell, into a ravine, a ravine. Doesn't he care more about what society at large thinks about his bullshit tale than the fact that he likes it hard and in the anus?

This randomly reminds me: when aol accidentally released its search data last year, local artists found that a surprising number of people do internet searches as if asking computers for personal guidance. The artists created a whole collage of searches that were based on the query "should i", which they displayed along with a video installation at OTB. Here's a link to the project:

The Dems Capitulate!! Write to Sen. Murray and thank her for voting against the Iraq bill and write to Sen Cantwell letting her have it for voting for it. I told Cantwell that we need to find another candidate to challenge her in the Primaries in 2012. We put her into power and we can take her out!!

trying to give the death penalty for child rape
Ah shit.
That no-vote on the Sonics, that ringing of the no-corporate-welfare bell, is now going to fade into the distance and disappear.
Nah, we won't miss the Okie Sonics once we get the Seattle Skaters from the NHL.
I support the death penalty for child rape. I support the death penalty for serial rape too.
