  1. Councilman, I was there in 84 and witnessed both fatalities. One got knocked unconscious on exit and never got anything out and the other had a pilot chute in tow and didn't get her reserve out in time. IIRC they happened within about 20 minutes of each other. I took Dean Fearing, more or less a world famous chef, on a tandem in 1992. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  2. Some tongue is good but this..... The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  3. That'll sho' will go good with them boiled peanuts, won't it? The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  4. Use Miracle Whip Lite instead of mayo or butter. It doesn't burn as fast as butter or mayo, browns the bread more evenly and cuts down on the fat too. You won't be able to tell the difference taste wise. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  5. The JFK assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald murder, the "Dallas" TV series, mediocre football, baseball & hockey. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  6. From personal experience, they can still find you if it is was ever registered. I did something similar twice in the late 70s with "Bic Lighter" (desposable) type cars. Never heard anything from anybody regarding them. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  7. Just got back from "draining a pint". The local (Western Kentucky) supply is so low for all types that they were begging on radio and TV. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  8. I had my doubts about Indy right up until that final interception. Man, what a game. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  9. Yummmmmmmmy, that really is good. Just like mom used to make.
  10. Freeflying my ass. This was either a botched baton pass (you grab my baton and give me a happy ending) or really, really messed up two way RW. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  11. QuoteJiminy Cricket - in place of "Jesus Christ" I know it's not cursing, I just do it as respect to those religios in the office. /reply] Reminds me of Frank Burns on M*A*S*H. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  12. You are sooo correct as far as eating healthier goes. I lost both taste and smell four years and don't miss either now. Can even clean up vomit and dog shit without gagging. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  13. Check out the movie "Johnny Dangerously" you farggin' bastidge cork soaker. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  14. Many times you could hear manifest call "Lando's Commandos" when calling loads. I think this was his load organizer period. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  15. Yeah, do it. Just go ahead and see what happens. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  16. Similar situation with the New York Cosmos and Pele in the 70s when the North American Soccer League was in existance. Pele was on the downhill side of his career in Brazil but was signed for a huge, by the standards of those days, amount to try and increase interest in soccer in the US. Guess it didn't work seeing as the NASL went bust a couple of years later. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  17. Hell, that sort of thing has been going on in the South Texas border areas for many, many, many decades. No big deal. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  18. Upndownshop, where's the one of the DPA Cessna 182 on its back in the middle of the muddy field at Seagoville? It rivals a couple of those. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  19. Well that's just f'n great. That damn thing has so many footprints from being walked over by our corrupt government (and not just this administration), that nobody knows, or apparently, cares WTF it says anymore. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  20. If the result of cutting off funding is bringing the troops home (which is, I expect, the desired result), would you still see it as "turning their backs" on the troops? Yes. People are not grasping that our mission there is to secure Iraq. People are also not grasping that not supporting the mission is merely conditional support of the troops. By cutting off the tools that we need to do it, no matter how it's sugar-coated, you're saying, "Your mission was to secure Iraq, and while it's not secure, you're job is done and we're glad you're home." Not letting us do our job will wreak havoc on the morale of the troops. It will breed the concept of defeat and that is not something we need to rest on the shoulders of our men and women in uniform. WTF is the mission??? This statement from the Excite news story about Saddam's "fall" from power kind of says it all for me. "First it was weapons of mass destruction. Then when there were none, it was that we had to find Saddam. We did that, but then it was that we had to put him on trial," said Spc. Thomas Sheck, 25, who is on his second tour in Iraq. "So now, what will be the next story they tell us to keep us over here?" The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  21. This is the answer... but they seem too lazy to decide on any policy. That's because the Congress has no authority in determining US policy. Write your Congressman 'till you have carpal tunnel, they do not have authority to determine when/how/why troops are deployed. Of course, Congress could cut off funding. But I can guarantee that as a soldier now, and as soon as I was out of the Army, I would ensure that people were constantly reminded and never forget those who turned their backs on the troops while deployed in a combat zone. It amounts to cowardice in the wosrt possible way. If Congress had another constitutionally-provided device for providing the check and balance, you might be right. But it doesn’t. It has only the power of the purse. The real cowardice is Bush sending more troops in harm’s way, not to salvage the mission, because it’s un-salvageable, but to try to salvage his own ass by maintaining the awful status quo so it can be dumped into the lap of the NEXT President, thereby sparing Bush – in his own mind – of the label as the president who “lost Iraq”. So he effectively sets Congress up to do the only concrete thing they can do (aside from impeaching him), which is to control funding, knowing fully well that there will be a cadre’ of people who will reflexively accuse not him, but Congress of “turning their backs” on the troops. I don’t buy it, and I regret that there are those who do. It is the current President of the United States who’s being the coward, not the Congress. If the above bullshit we consider "democracy" here in the US is any indication of the kind of "democracy" that he's trying to instill elsewhere, is there any doubt why they're resisting in such a bloodthirsty manner?

  22. Worse than usual with more stammering and trouble enunciating. This time instead of his usual grinning arragance he had all the expression and passion of a twelve year old reading a book report in class. looked like a whipped puppy. As far as the "new plan" there really isnt one. It was more about "All this we told you about winning has been a load of crap so just get ready for more of the same with an increased amount of casualties in 2007." He finally, about time, threw the Iraqi government under the bus but other than making them hold up their end of the bargain, which ain't going to happen anyway, no new ground was broken. His attack on his critics at the end to come up with their own solution if they don't like his well, that was just laughable. a better one doesn't exist and its way too late for that. That's like the guy who just shot someone through the heart saying, "Hey, if you can't figure out a way to save him either, then don't blame me!" _________________ The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  23. Wouldn't consider any of them funny or entertaining but dumb sounds about right. Anything for a buck. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  24. Here's an oldie from a bumper sticker long ago: "Skydivers have more fun than people". The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  25. Yep, "Big Bambu" was the one with the big rolling paper in it. I dont have the album anymore but still have the big rolling paper. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
