Oh I clearly remember when 'Made in Japan' was concidered a joke and an insult. When something broke the standard reply was 'Must have been made in Japan'. Not hard for me to concieve of at all. I just wish our stuff was still better. It's a Japanese conspiracy I tell ya.

I believe it was a self-inflicted wound. The world's first esophogeal explosion as a result of violently choking on a potato.

Perception isn't reality. It's merely an abstraction thereof, and quite often not a very good one at that.

I am human. Fully human.

Nope. Sad to say, it appears the potatoes have hornswaggled the Japanese.

As has been mentioned, it is impossible to effectively suppress most rifle and carbine ammunition, as there is a distinctive "crack" from the bullet's supersonic flight. Pistols and submachine guns are the most likely candidates for sound suppression. Most pistol ammunition is considerably larger than 6.5 mm, which would have been problematic for the "lone assassin" theory.

Or else we're going to be attacked by killer tomatoes?

I for one welcome our vegetable overlords

I don't. I will welcome the T-Bone Steak overlords, though.

So, obviously you're a vegan, as the T-Bone overlords will clearly ban the eating of meat.

I didn't say I welcomed them to be in charge.

The whole point of overlords is to overthrow them, and eat them of their tender, barbequed meat.

I second that, our duty is to serve the T-Bone overlords........ with BBQ sauce, a mountain of french fries and a case of nice ice cold beer

PD. No, I haven't had breakfast.

I've heard it used on Law and Order, but that probably isn't the origin.

There is a lot wrong with this thread.

First, a T-bone should be grilled, broiled, or even seared/roasted -- it should not be barbequed.

2nd, a tomato is a vegetable according to the US Congress --- what higher authority do you need?

Finally hmmm -- JFK was Irish, and the Irish were Irish --- it seems that potatoes are ethnists

The U.S. Surpreme Court would be a good start. Ruled that a tomato was a vegetable in 1893.

Ahhh -- you're right. I thought it had been legislated in, but I see that it came down to a Supreme court interpretation.

Another point the assasination conspricacy supporters try to say is that Oswald was a poor shot, and couldn't have made the shots in that quick of a sequence.

1- this is a flat out lie. Oswald was a superb shot and a Marine Sharp Shooter. My dad was one in the army and they don't give that appelation to merely anbody. Marine records show that Oswald routinely made 90+% of his shots at twice the distance Kennedy was from Oswald.

2- I saw a documentary recently that debunked every aspect of a conspiracy. In it a 70 year old man shot off a gun identicle to Oswald's (it may have been THE gun, i don't remember), taking time to aim and everything and manage to squeeze off 3 bullets in the same time Oswald did.

BTW, I live in the Kansas City area where 99% of the population grills or barbeque. Even here people confuse grilling with barbequeing. grrrrr.
