It's Thanksgiving on Democratic Underground. What are you thankful for?
Here are a few things I'm thankful for today:
My wife and two boys.
My mother and step-father. My brother and sisters and their spouses. My in-laws. My neices and nephews. My dog.
Good friends and friendly neighbors.
Democratic Underground. And all the great people that come here to read or post. And donors. And moderators. And EarlG and Elad.

Isn't being grateful for Skins's island and its inhabitants similar with being grateful for the National Zoo?

10. What am I thankful for, my dear Skinner?
So many things...
My husband.
My two daughters, and their husbands.
My three grandchildren! There is nothing quite like seeing your babies having their own...
DU, and all the wonderful friends I have made here, and all the incredibly important things I have learned here!
My poetry.
The great blue state of California, my home.
President Obama.
My new scanner.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Why would the CalPig primitive be grateful for her poetry?
I'm really trying to figure that out; franksolich writes, but franksolich isn't grateful FOR something he creates.
He is however, grateful for those who read it.
So what does the CalPig mean here, exactly?

I always take care to do that, madam, much care.
But right now, I'm public-relationing her, boosting her, for top primitive, and so have to let all the silliness show.

I learned something new today. I learned that Skins is married and has actually fathered children??? I guess that's a Christmas miracle.
:rotf:

Or...a travesty that he's actually bred? That an actual human woman let him touch her?
I feel the same way about Mike Malloy, actually.

No not really...not when she can't wipe her own ass...due to being 5' tall and 425 pounds.

Actually, my fellow alum Skins has been married for a long time, more than ten years, to a woman who was or is a congressional staffer on Capitol Hill. With the (R)s taking over the House, and the Dems losing seats in the Senate, it's reasonable to assume she's out of a job again.
Believe it or not, my fellow alum was once press secretary for a big Dem--I dunno which one, but he did work for Biden, Wyden, Bonoir, and one of the Levin brothers.
He lost his last job, with Bonoir, in 2000, when that congressman from Michigan ran in the Dem primary for governor of that state, and lost to the Graham cracker. But not to worry, as by then Skins had managed to carefully cultivate connections, and was hired by establishment Dems to set up Skins's island.

Frank - do you know how he came up with the name Skinner?
If you do not, it might be fun for the cavers here to take a guess or two.

I believe it was taken from a cartoon character, a school principal, in some popular television series.
From even before he landed on Skins's island and planted the flag, my fellow alum must have had a premonition of the role he would have to play.
Which, actually, he doesn't play very well; he's got to get some spine, some backbone, put in him.

Which is, of course, why there is such sensitivity to being labeled a DLC front organization. One of the quickest ways to order pizza over there is to accuse Skinner and friends of being DLC. :fuelfire:

I have to think a bit on this Evil.
Disposable diapers is one of the most underrated devices ---and given a bad name all at the same time.
Hospitals and Nursing homes put Chucks under all patients if they need them or not. The cost to clean linen far outweighs the cost of Chucks. Figure in the amount of water, detergent and anti bacterial stuff added, the money to heat the linen to close to boiling, then add the man power to transport the linen to a laundry, the staff that washes and drys, folds and transports the linen from place to place-- At 10 cents each, much cheaper and more sanitary.
The fact that the older folk that use depends, or younger that may use some kind of pantie liner, or be unable to wear tampons,-----All these are in the line of disposable creations.
Baby's go without question are healthier when they do not use cloth diapers that may have bacteria on them.
How many gallons of water are used, how much detergent and bleach and fabric softener goes into city sewers if one uses cloth diapers. How can we be sure all bacteria is killed even using super hot water.?
I have noticed that lately Doctors warn that these new strains of bacteria are surviving the laundry process.
For adults we are warned to wash underware separate from outer clothing, and to use pantie guards, soon to come male underware guards for men.
Evil, have you ever used cloth diapers on a child, had to clean them every day, cannot leave the soiled diapers laying about for a day or so. So you rinse out 6 or more diapers a day, get off all eyeball sight of bacteria.? Where does that Lord awful smell come from the diaper pail come from if it is not bacteria building in there for 24 hours.??
I have to agree that the disposable diapers and their cousins have to have cut down on disease---But what about the land fills that have disposable plastic drinking bottles---??????

Cold, PG . . . but H5 given.

I cannot keep the players straight over there, it seems. I somehow was picturing this guy, lol!

So Evil, what is wrong with big girls?
Having been a skinny Minnie all my life i have noticed some things along the way.
A thin woman walks into a bar and all male eyes turn to look to look at her like she is a lamb chop waiting to be eaten.
A large woman walks into the bar and the men for some reason want to talk to her, not screw her., well not at that time.
Born into the thin era as the way to go to catch a good husband, this is bunk.---
I have found that the men that go gaga over a Barby doll is a passing thing. They may be well paid professionals but they often head out leave their thin wives for a woman that has some meat on their bones and are more concerned about their man then staying slim at the gym every day.
At my highschool reunion I was pleased to see that the woman who were butter balls at the time and not invited to the prom came in looking fantastic. Still butterballs but looking better more confident and better dressed then the woman that had for 30 years starved themselves into a size 4 dress.
Seems that time takes a toll on woman's looks. The woman that worked to stay picture perfect had a gaunt look, skin sagging and no amount of make up could disguise their skin .
The butter balls came in looking much like they did 40 years ago. Good skin, hair and a bright eye, and with their first husband.
Please Evil, realise that there are some woman out there that do not follow the path that the Ad industry wants us to go.
The woman in the picture was a bit large, but she was perhaps having more fun then the thins that got no attention at all. Also look at her face, she does not look gaunt or man made, she is lovely.
So she was having a grand time messing around with the guy on her back, big deal----I bet you she has a life of less stress then us.
As a mini I have to stand up for the biggies that put me to shame.

Vesta, I don't care if woman have some meat on their bones. I actually find it disgusting if a person (not just woman) are stick thin with their rib cage showing. It gives me the chills. I'd be afraid a light breeze would knock them over. I am not a size 1 and never have been, but I am also not fat. Just a little curvy still... after having my daughter.
What I find particularly gross in the above picture is the lack of clothing on an obviously obese person. The girl to the left is also wearing too little clothing for her size.
If you have it, flaunt it. If you don't, please keep it all tucked in and covered up. That's all I'm saying. Some people enjoy keeping their food down.

I do not look like a magazine model. You do realize that any man that I know wouldn't even touch that woman in the picture, right? lol
The "thins" have just as much fun as the "tubbies", if not more. Just sayin'...

Pretty much a given, but probably not until mid- to late-2011. His contract with Sony states that he's got to record new albums in odd-numbered years. "Retrospective" albums in even-numbered years. Plus, Max no longer has the Conan committment.

Tots, it's because all of the things that are mentioned have the most utility as disposable diapers, IMHO.

Surprised Skins forgot to also mention some more of his bread and butter:
MSDNC
Olberdouche
Rick Maddow
"Tingle up my leg" Matthews
The mainstream media (although NPR and the New York Times somewhat count)

I didn't think you did either, for the record. I was just joking, and being a bit of an ass.
