Strawberry's first post was a joke played on Algebra. She was complaining about something (and bragging about her Lexus)

Anyway, I wrote something like what kind of teacher (Algebra) drives around in an expensive car like a Lexus. Anyway, she got pissed off about it. Even came home bitching about the Strawberry person. The joke was a home-run.

I thought that would be it, but she was so defended and I was so attacked over the comment by other posters, that I saw fit to go on the offensive with everyone.

This is when Straw was born.

Agreed. That is VERY funny.

From his posts I gather notehead is a musician not an entomologist, so how in the heck would he even know any beetle songs. Beatle songs, that I'd bet he'd play.

I don't know any Beetle songs. I know a few Beatle songs -- I love the Beatles. I played Hey Jude at Centannis.

Let's change gears slightly...

"A Newsweek poll said if the election were held today, John Kerry would beat Bush 49 percent to 46 percent. And today, President Bush called Newsweek magazine a threat to world peace."
—Jay Leno

"President Bush announced he has a five-point strategy for getting out of Iraq. Points six through 10 will be handled by the Kerry administration."
—David Letterman

"The President and Mrs. Bush were on 'Larry King' last night and the president said, 'America is absolutely better off today than it was 4 years ago.' Then he said, 'Did I say America? I meant Chevron.'"
—Bill Maher

"President Bush's campaign is now attacking John Kerry for throwing away some of his medals to protest the Vietnam War. Bush did not have any medals to throw away, but in his defense he did have all his service records thrown out."
—Jay Leno

"Rumors have restarted that the Republican ticket will not be Bush-Cheney. But today those rumors were put to rest when Cheney said, 'No, I'm keeping him on the ticket.'"
—Jay Leno

"According to the recent polls, Bush has a slight lead over John Kerry. So today, Bush hung a banner over the White House saying, 'Mission Accomplished.'"
—David Letterman

"President Bush says in the last month he has created 300,000 new jobs. Yeah, they're called Kerry campaign workers."
—Craig Kilborn

"Is it me or is Bush going everywhere Kerry goes? So far in the past week, President Bush has followed John Kerry to Davenport, Iowa; New Mexico; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; and he follows him to Portland, Oregon. The only place he never followed John Kerry was Vietnam."
—Jay Leno

"President Bush filed again to run in 2004. I believe his exact words were 'The fix is in.'...Actually, this morning with zero percent of the vote in, Florida is declaring Bush the winner. It's just a formality now."
—Jay Leno

"The Bush campaign for re-election has officially begun. They're actually running television commercials. Have you seen any of the television commercials? In one of the commercials, you see George Bush for thirty seconds. In another commercial, you get to see George Bush for sixty seconds — kind of like his stint in the National Guard."
—David Letterman

"Oscar nominations came out today. Up for best actor, Sean Penn for 'Mystic River,' Jude Law for 'Cold Mountain,' and of course, George W. Bush for 'Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction.'"
—Jay Leno

Yep. And I voted for Gore. They were both the best candidate running, by far. And for all his considerable flaws, in his first two years McGreevey closed $14 billion in budget gaps and balanced the state budget without raising sales or income taxes.

But back to the task at hand...

"The president finally explained why he sat in that classroom on 9/11 for 7 minutes after he was told the country was under attack. He said he was 'collecting his thoughts.' What a time to start a new hobby.'"
—Bill Maher

"Last night, in a prime-time address, President Bush said he backed limited federal funding for stem cell research. That's right, the President said, this is a quote, the research could help cure brain diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and whatever it is I have."
—Conan O'Brien

"When Stevie Wonder took the stage at the Kennedy Center, President Bush waved to him. Realizing his faux pas, President Bush turned to his wife and said, 'Oh my God, do you think he saw that?'"
—Tina Fey, Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update"

"President Bush made a speech about Homeland Security in front of Mt. Rushmore. There was an awkward moment when Bush looked up at the monument and said 'Which one is President Rushmore?'"
—Conan O'Brien

"CBS cancelled its miniseries on the life of Ronald Reagan after the Republican National Committee protested what it called 'historical inaccuracies.' The RNC also objected to the networks unflattering look at George Bush, until they realized it was just a live press conference."
—Tina Fey, Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update

Did I say that? I certainly considered it quite a few times.

Nails, what, is it adult swim, and you're not allowed in the kiddie pool at the moment?
