What about Saudia Arabia, Mr. Bush?

Strawberry-no, Banana cream pie. Yes.

Apple sauce pie is the only way to go folks.

Wankle Rotary Engine

Ice cream, because it has no bones.

Russia has lots of oil. Maybe they could be our new best friend and we could give Putin carte blanche instead of the House of Saud. At least they’re a sort-of democracy with equal misery for women.

And now all I can do is hum My Fair Lady tunes, and imagine Saddam falling on plains.

A) High.
B) Hello!
C) Good evening!

I don’t want to be a pie. I don’t like gravy!

P.S.: The epitrochoidal engine in question is a Wankel, not a Wankle, you hebetudinous clod.

$x =~ s/hebetudinous clod/wanker/gi;

And let this day be recorded in the annals of time, the day that Wikkit didn’t take the easy, obvious joke and/or geek word play.

Actually, I thought hebetudinous trumped wanker, so I went with it. But I’m glad you could get a regexp out of it, if a quite simple one. A proper regexp joke should only be decipherable by the few, the proud, the Geeks.

>> the rein of Saddam Hussein

Saddam Hussein is a horse?

He’s a prancing pony. A very naughty prancing pony.

well, is he hung like one?

The Saudis are a bunch of fat cats, hypocrites, and cowards. They paid off Bin Laden rather than kill the rat bastard. Never will understand that. Islam teaches stewardship of the poor, but that chapter must have been left out of thier copy of the Koran. On the up side they are not amassing chemical and/or biological and/or nuclear weapons. Nor have they invaded any other country lately. Suck though they might they do not pose a clear and present danger. Sodom on the other hand does. He should be killed

I save my serious regexp sk|llz for XNews killfilters. There’s a sick, nerdy satisfaction in forging a +4 mithril spam-slayer.

They’re not teaching Perl in grade school yet?

:eek:

Straying further afield: Didn’t Bill Gates try to get hex and/or octal math into school curriculums once?

are you saying the United States has a inconsistent foreign policy ? Tell us something new. If you have C-span you can watch the coin flip at the State department every morning to decide which country is our enemy

It’s a goddam shame that Clinton was never President, so that he could have used his honest forthright statesmanship to solve this difficult problem. We can only hope and pray that he gets elected some day. :wink:

Hear, hear.

GEORGE CLINTON IN '04!

insert ‘parliamentary government’ comment here.

The thing that frightens me is that we have new standards requiring careful scrutiny of nationals coming into our country from certain nations that harbor terrorists or have ties. This was a result of the 9/11 attacks. However, Saudi Arabia, contributor of 15 out of 19 hijackers doesn’t pop up on it anywhere.

We are the Saudi’s bitch, and we’re content to suck them for oil and they’re content to sit back and enjoy, and slap us when we act up.
