1. Yes, so is wake-boarding

Well, wake-boarding is torture at my age anyway. Snow-boarding tortured by butt pretty good too.

4. No, "Wake-Boarding" is a pastime.

WATCHING wake-boarding is torture.

6. trying to keep up with a couple of preteens on a wakeboard

may be a pastime, but it's a PAINFUL pastime. :)

[Richard Steele]

12. "Keeping up with preteens" doing ANYTHING is not a pastime.

Sometimes it's an OBLIGATION, sure...But, frankly, them little
buggers have got WAY too much energy for their own good. I get
worn out just watching them play "tag" these days.

Sitting on the beach with an umbrella drink and waving as they go by-
THAT'S a pastime!

2. Isn't that a sport?

:shrug:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

3. not in this instance

5. I think GD:politics is a form of the Chinese water torture

That's the old Chinese form of torture in which you make someone endure listening to an endless train of little drips.

8. Maybe instead of waterboarding, they should make prisoners read GD:P all day

My candidate is the most electable
No, my candidate is the most electable
My candidate isn't electable because of the MSM
Your candidate sucks.
No your candidate is a DNC shill.
My candidate is against the war.
No, my candi ate is against the war!
I'm not voting for any candidate in the general but mine.
You republican enabler!

Then again, I think that is probably too cruel. If we did that, they'd be begging for a good waterboarding instead.

7. Water-boarding isn't so bad!

At least it gets you out in the open air!



Crucifixion, though?... crucifixion is a dawdle!
EVERYTHING this administration does should be classified as torture; just them being there is torture!

9. yes

[QueenOfCalifornia]

10. Welllll....

Pelosi isn't so sure...

She just needs to think on it.

[Kali]

11. I think listening to boosh try to speak English is torture, so yeah...

I think real torture is torture.

[MonkeyFunk]

13. ooh!

What a great topic for the lounge!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

15. I try to lighten the place up

with a happy-go-lucky Pelosi has let me down post once in a while.

14. PELOSI: There is a legal definition of torture that I believe this would fit.

it is sadder still smaller potatoes in a world where people are willing to saw your head off with a rusty Bowie knife to hold up your tortured howl in front of a camera for your grandma, or pull your fingernails out with a pair of pliers, etc
