True enough. We’re edging towards observational equivalence. ---

> [@CurtC](#): > > spyderkill, that’s a good question, and it has an answer. I’d appreciate it if you’d carefully consider what I’m saying. Thank’s, i really appreciate your answer. I understood what you said, and i agree with that. Unfortunnately some men here instead of giving a good answer (because they probably can’t) they lost their and my time saying bullshit(worse than mine bullshit). Thank’s. ---

That’s a rather sexist statement. The women here are equally capable of being pedantic, condescending, sarcastic and intolerant of ignorance as any of the men. ---

[quote=“spyderkill, post:371, topic:712211”] [/QUOTE] From the youtube video: [quote] Rapper DMX Says Satan Approached Him 3 Times on Dr. Phil Show!!! [/quote] Quite apart from the fact that Satan doesn't exist, it does raise the question of what Satan was doing on the set of Dr. Phil's show. \<_insert obvious joke about how Dr. Phil got a show in the first place…_\> ---

_“What”_ (he utters in the classic lilting voice of Betty Jo Bialosky) _“??”_ No one has in this thread has even _referenced_ the primary and utterly hilarious article that got the more-or-less “mainstream” fascinated in the Grove in the first place? You know, the long, classic _Spy_ magazine piece from 1989 (during the “funny years”)? Let’s start with a link to the cover of that glorious issue I read back in October '89: [_**Wild and Crazy V.I.P.'S! Spy Goes Undercover with Henry Kissinger, Merv Griffin, William F. Bukley Jr. and Malcom Forbes at Bohemian Grove – The Establishment’s Secret Two [sic]-Week Frat Party**_](http://books.google.com/books?id=iEcCF1ICLt8C&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false) Sheesh! A thread without _the_ basic reference is a pitiful pit thread indeed! ---

Hey, I quoted Nixon from his own secret tapes he made. Primary source. > [@FXMastermind](#): > > “The Bohemian Grove, that I attend from time to time—the Easterners and the others come there—but it is the most faggy goddamn thing you could ever imagine, that San Francisco crowd that goes in there; it’s just terrible! I mean I won’t shake hands with anybody from San Francisco.” > —President Richard M. Nixon, Bohemian Club member, [from the Watergate tapes](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Grove#Quotations) ---
