  1. I struggled through the first chronicles. It was always 10 pages away fromn being a really good book but it never got there. Can't imagine following it through to the "last" ones.

  2. Even with only 47 jumps I think I could land that. Damn lucky bastard to find that in the rig. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  3. Just proves the point. One of the few people I thought was sensible here. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  4. Screw you too. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  5. At the same people ranting about the same things no end in site. There is no discussion, only people on both sides of a stone wall lobbing the same crap back and forth. No ones mind will be changed so why not just give it a rest. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  6. Screw you, I am up here near Austin wishing for snow and you bastards in Houston get it "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  7. He used to be until he couldn't get elected. Then he switched parties. For better or worse he is the congressman from my district. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  8. I have been away for months and now when I look at these post I just have to laugh. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  9. Because people pay money to see Shaq in action. If people stopped going to sporting events the players would stop getting the big checks. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  10. Hillary won't be bitter until she loses the primaries next time around. Spelling edit "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  11. I'd end up in jail for bitching W out and Kerry would bore me to death. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  12. Roslyn Carter "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  13. ROFLMAO. I stopped reading right there Watch it squid or I'll send in the A-7's with Vulcan guns firing full tilt. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  14. To the thinking few that is correct but the "clueless drones" vote too and there are more of them. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  15. My Air Force NCO leadership school taught me to not lean on the podium, hell if at all possible get out from behind it. Clearly not an option for these two but you don't lean on it. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  16. I will be voting for Kerry but I think Bush closed better than Kerry did. I think over all Kerry presented him self more coherently (sp?). I also thought it was interesting how when the first light came on Bush seemed to focus and get on message. Most of the time before that he seemed to wander around. I also give Bush points for skipping the question on if the US was at greater risk if Kerry was elected. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  17. I'm no Bush fan but that was just a normal everyday screw up. If I had to hear about wrong war and wrong time one more time I thought I would scream. I thought Bush closed better than Kerry did but I thought overall Kerry did better. It was interesting how when the white light came on Bush seemed to focus and get on message after wandering aroung for a minute or so. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  18. The anger against the US goes back a lot farther than Bill Clinton. It started after WWII when we hooked up with the Saudi's and started pumping oil. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  19. I don't like my little, peanut-like thumbs at all... The rest of my hands, fingers, feet and toes, however, are quite nice. POST PICS! - Of my thumbs and toes? You are too weird dude! "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  20. While living in german I saw a drama on TV where a kid of about 10 did a face plant in the crotch of a girl of about 18, It was part of the story and not the end of the world. Jesu even at 10 I would have loved being in a bath with Nicole. Of course she would have been for at the time so I guess that makes me just sick. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  21. Killing them in general is not the answer. Figuring out why they hate us and changing our behavior where justified might be. i am not saying we should all live under Islamic law by any means. However maybe we should stop trying to enforfe our views on the rest of the world now that the cold war is over. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  22. If you watch my occasional postings you will know that I am an anti-gun left of center American but this is bullshit. These companies, especailly the manufacturer, should have fought this tooth and nail. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  23. And while I appreciate your pain, althoug I can't imageine it, I hope you never have any input to anything involved in dealing with it. Having lived on three differnt continents I can tell you that there are a lot of screwed up people in the world and a lot of them live here in the dear old USA. Edit for a typo. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  24. Not disputing your point but it works both ways. The US sends money to Isreal "as long as it is not used for ..." ... can be expansion or on the west bank or what ever. Hell it is easy to say "see your money went for head start programs." The local tax money that would have gone for these programs went to build the wall. If we send money to anyone who is doing something we officailly disagree with we are still supporting that thing. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  25. I have not paid close enough attention to this particular scandle because I a mn the anybody but Bush camp. But having been in the military I can tell you that every medal has a ribbon. Many, most, all awards have ribbons. And oh yeah there are a butt load of ribbons you can get too, He could quite easily have thrown ribbons over the fence and kept the medals and misspoken in interviews. What I find interesting about this debacle is that so far the GWB camp is not sisputing the document, they are only saying that he was honorably discharged. From a paper work stand point the two have nothing to do with each other. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
