My eyes hurt looking at my dad's green laser pointer on a wall...it doesn't point things out so much as obliterates them on the screen. I can't imagine anyone using this without incident.
On the other hand, I can see parents buying it for their kids after enough whining...that will end about as happily as a group of 10-year-olds with a bucket of lawn darts.
WI's 2nd district congresswoman Tammy Baldwin was quite a looker back in her day...not a hell of a looker now, but definitely back when she was in the state assembly.
Psh, don't take the website seriously. Of course it's a joke. I've been having fun with it since while I know a good deal about the platforms/choices congressional reps have made, I have no idea what they look like...I don't look at the names and vote on my first thought.
The republicans seem to have more attractive men, while the dems seem to have slightly more attractive women (though I can't say much for the women in either party...). But I admit- I generally vote without even knowing what someone looks like.
Oh wow I hadn't scrolled down to WI before I said that...that particular sign is not at all what WI usually uses. That sign is in the middle of nowhere, seriously. I don't remember North Dakota even having a sign when I entered on I-94, but that might be because Fargo covers two states and extends inward quite a bit before there would be an empty spot to put the sign.
Minnesota's welcome signs cost a butt-ton of money to make- they're on almost every inbound highway. WI has a few signs, but at least it didn't try to put them on *every* highway.
This is a common phenomenon on Craigslist. It's usually manifested in Not.A.Lion form, but there is the occasional Not.A.Tiger lurking about. http://www.yousuckatcraigslist.com/?p=4159
related to the post, though, that's freaking terrible, and almost as stupid. I wouldn't wish it on anyone but at least he's dumb enough not to know how to cover up his crimes.
The support is good, and of course I'm in favor of it...but what happens when this person realizes that it doesn't accomplish anything by jumping, and then gets pursued by immigration- whether it's tomorrow, or a few months, or a few years down the line? That's just going to bring all of this to a head again for them. I hope they find a way to citizenship, or at least a green card. The young children who come in with their parents always suffer the most...
If there are other species that are affected and can be effectively cleaned and released, focus on them first. If they've already been taken care of (or died because we didn't reach them in time...), even 1 percent of a bird population can make a huge difference when it comes to extinction or not.
When thousands of birds in S. Africa were affected by an oil spill down there, all of them that were able to be caught were cleaned and released (which is where a lot of study data comes from), and even though only several hundred survived, the colony is thriving today.
A few years back there was another spill in their habitat- not sure if it was oil or not- but this time the birds were rounded up before the water was contaminated and kept in holding pens until it was safe for them to be released. That's what I think would be the best option, but unfortunately this spill is so huge that who knows when their habitat would be livable again.
Haha, this is totally posted in the right place above the stinky plants xD
When I used to drive to high school, there was a very strong smell of cooking hot dogs (think a NY hot dog cart) coming from the Oscar Mayer/Kraft plant in town, and then about 2 miles away was the sweet bread baking smell from Sara Lee. I would think if I liked either of those brands, it would be way more effective than a billboard. As it was, I really liked the bread smell, even though that factory *always* messed up my radio reception.
I love steak, but I'm not crazy about the smell of it cooking...I think that billboard would make me avoid that kind of steak.
lmao, the ferrets I know run up and around pants legs whenever they get the chance (and don't get shaken out right away), so I can't imagine they'd feel "abused" for quite a while. 5 1/2 hours, though? That might be a bit much.

New Jersey's suits it well :P
THE NAME DOES NOT HAVE TO IMPLY HOMOGENEITY OF POSTINGS. damn!
