Nick - nobody needs to go to war with America - we just need to bide our time until the Yellowstone caldera blows its pan then they will be up the creek sans paddle all by themselves. :-)
hmm... Not making it to Heaven. And the collapse of America, sometimes I feel as if we're going to fall just like the Roman empire. I hope not. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. When Bush goes out of office, that will be hair ripping!!!!
------------------------
Sure do hope that none of this happens. ;D

i think the fall of the American Empire will be at the hands of old Mother Nature rather than the politicians - not wanting to be a killjoy or anything but for all its size and might you really do live on a knife edge when it comes to potential natural disasters :-)
just dont head for the east coast in case that canary islands volcano goes off and sends a mega tsunami at you - or the west coast in case the fault line gives up the ghost and arizona suddenly becomes ocean front real estate.
Hey, I lived in both Hawaii and Cali...I can handle Tsunami's and Hurricanes and Earthquakes...even Volcanic Explosions...and 3 years in Kentucky...I can handle Tornadoes...but if you throw the bugs at me....I DO NOT LIKE BUGS!!! Crunchy bugs especially...ewwww *shivers* . Bugs. I think that would be my worst night mare. Snakes, Rats...no problem...its the damned bugs!!!!
I agree with you wholeheartedly akashastrega. ;D Well, you could always come to MD Sadoc... though the realstate prices are very high. :( Besides that this lil state is ok, plus, it's close to the nations capital. :)

EWWWWW...spiders don't bother me so much if they are small, but Turantulas are a big HELL NO, but its mostly the crunchy bugs...crickets, grasshoppers, roaches, stink bugs....if they are crunchy, the freak me out!!!
Ever seen those monster cockroaches in Florida ??!!!! I forget what they're called....you couldn't pay me to live there, I'll put up with the sleet, & the snow, & the freezing rain & the gray skies.......* SIGH * I'm depressed.....
Being raised in Hawaii, I KNOW about monster Roaches...they are the size of aircraft carriers, they can fly, you can't easily squish them, they laugh at a can of Raid, and they are EVERYWHERE!!! You can practically put a leash on one and call it your pet!!!
ROFL !!!! I'm sorry, I have this visual of you teaching a cockroach to sit, roll over, play dead, fetch.......taking them to Pet Smart to get those special treats....oh God, somebody stop me !!!!
My worst nightmare is the one when all of my friends turn on me and I walk alone. . .bored out of my mind until the day I die. Friends seem to make life so much more interesting then it actually is and I'm grateful for all of my friends, even the ones here on Caedes. ;)
Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink.
But if you must lie,
lie in the arms of the one you love.
If you must steal,
steal away from bad company.
If you must cheat, cheat death.
And if you must drink...
drink in the moments
that take your breath away.
Yeah .. I used to feel that way about friends too .. until I realized that they were leaching off me to make their humdrum lives bearable as much as I was leaching off of them .. It made me feel cheap and tawdry
For nothing to happen. My worst nighmare would be to go through life and not have a story to tell at the end that someone would want to hear. Honestly what comes after doesnt bother me so much, but to have wasted what chance I had, that would be my worst nightmare...
well, there you go .. you can tell folks you double-posted .. and lived to tell about it. ... How the inhabitants of Caedesia wanted to tear you limb from limb .. you brandished your sword and fought them back.
See? .. a life well lived .. you'll have your grandchildren enthralled.
Well .. it's a well known fact that Offtopica is the insane asylum of Caedland .. The inhabitants of Offtopica are always the last to find out .. and then they want to move to Board Disscussus .. but they can't, you see, they are insane
Isn't the resort of Voting Booth Isle located somewhere in the How D'ya Pronounce Caedes Triangle ?
That's a dangerous place I hear, threads get lost there, all the time.
Just disappear, into the ether.....
That would be nice. But now that you mention foreigners I've been getting odd collect calls from some place called The United Communist Comment Request Republic also known as the UCCR..R.
No kidding ?!! My mother always said "Never accept collect calls from people you don't know !! Do you think a money tree grows in the backyard ??!! "
Don't I wish.....
They are all as bad as each other. I mean Clay do we all go oh did you read this months hunt & grill check out the shirt he's wearing. Nope. I reckon women egg each other on to become more self concious. Trends, brands, bull sperm, tummy tucks I mean come on.
Yeh another to walk into a store and all that is stocked is woman's
magazine and one magazine for men that says how to make your woman happier.
And to think it actually all started with that dreaded Cosmo male bashing magazine. I think it is amassing how they all know more about what men like then the men.
Cosmo has a lot to answer for - my friend banned his girlfriend from bringing into his house as it just fuelled unsubstantiated feminist clap trap. I remember vividly how a group of us were at his house for Christmas dinner and all the guys were preparing the dinner (as usual) whilst two of the girls were sat within earshot in the dining room flicking through Cosmo and complaining/agreeing with the articles about how all men were useless and never did anything round the house etc etc. The irony completely overshot them as they sat there cackling and flicking cig ash on to the carpet.
Anyway how’s this for a worst nightmare scenario: waking up one day and coming to the realisation that this is the best that life has to offer you and your stuck with it.
Not every woman is 25, and brainless enough to read Cosmo.. I am really getting tired of the woman bashing that has been going on lately.. Not just in this thread but also in some of the images posted.. It is getting rather disgusting.. I suggest it stop..
