  1. If I say something and a woman isn't around to hear me say it, am I still wrong? I would like to know how they put striped toothpaste in the tubes without the colors mixing up.
  2. I have often thought of loading up the old Pinto and heading down to New Zealand....this is very inspirational to me.
  3. I have some "friends" that the only time I hear from them is when they are in town and need a place to stay... I'm fed up with it!!! Not this time.... Go get a hotel. I don't want to be a d*ck about it, but when I call them and leave messages.....they won't call back... but a few days before they come into town, its "Hey how you been?", "How's things going?" ect......BULLSHIT!!! Ok, I'm through venting.....

    Favorite poem

    Not my favorite, but still a classic. Kill My Landlord by Tyrone Greene. Dark and lonley on a summer night. Kill my landlord, Kill my landlord. Watchdog barking, Do he bite? Kill my landlord, Kill my landlord. Through the window, break his neck. Then the house I start to wreck. Got no reason, what the heck. Kill my landlord, kill my landlord. C-I-L-L, My landlord.
  6. Well Im 32 and with a 41yr old. We get along with each other so well its kind of scarey. The freaky part is she has 2 grandchildren. So if me and her ever get married, I would be a grandfather, (by law), in my early 30's. Its not about age, its how the two people feel about each other.
  7. I like DZ dot com, but to sit around and try to match post up with each other is pretty sad. Who cares if something has been posted before, maybe someone missed it the first time, maybe its worth reposting.
  8. Aircraft mechanic for an airline and I somtimes do contract work on corporate aircraft.
  9. Other than the warning label on the canopy, is there anything the manufacturers' can do or are doing to protect themselves?
  10. January 04, 2004 Was Bush the First a War Hero? Posted by Lew Rockwell at January 4, 2004 01:18 PM From Richard Russell's investment letter (courtesy of Anne Williamson): "I get all kinds of e-mails, many of them quite enlightening. The one below was amazing. I'm always fascinated to hear the real story about politicians. The e-mail has the ring of truth about it. Do you agree?" George Bush Sr Is No WWII Hero By John S. McDonald (1-1-04) I am an 82 year old Navy pilot and I am outraged at television's depiction of George Bush Sr.'s Pacific experiences. Now, I hear a book is forthcoming - Unbelievable!! I was in the Pacific at the same time as Bush and flew the same Avenger airplane. A small room in the rear of the Avenger was occupied by the radioman. The gunner went through the room to get up to his turret. Both wore a harness to which a chest type parachute could be attached - The gunner had to come down out of the turret to put on his chute. Bush said he was hit by anti-aircraft fire and the plane caught fire. Bush's squadron was primarily used for patrol and saw very little combat. Bush claimed he warned the crew, over the intercom, to get out - got no answer and he could not yell back because of the armor plate behind him. He decided they were dead, so he bailed out. First, he failed to say he switched his mike from radio to intercom. Then being blocked by the armor is a bold faced lie! There was a sizable gap on either side of the armor. I used this space to call to my crew several times. The tough old Avenger simply did not catch fire!! It had self sealing gas tanks. In six months of operations, I never saw an Avenger catch fire. If the oil or hydraulic systems were damaged, great clouds of white smoke would stream out of the plane. I have no idea how many times I saw planes returning to their carriers trailing smoke but never a fire. What really happened? It was the pilots job to hold the plane level and slow it down so the crew could get out. Most certainly, the radioman was helping the gunner with his chute when Bush panicked and left the plane. Then the plane rolled into a dive giving the crew no chance. This story went through the fleet and all the Avenger pilots i knew were shocked at what they heard. I heard speculation of a Courts-Martial. Bush was very young. By his own admission, he reacted under stress. It is terrifying to have the cockpit fill with smoke. Possibly, he can be excused for reacting to fear and accepting it as another war time tragedy - but he has been glorified on the History channel, a book is being published, and worst of all, an aircraft carrier is to be named for him. This is unbelievable!! Bush performed badly and was certainly no hero.
  11. I agree. This is just plain silly. People can and do get hurt jumping out of airplanes. If you think differently, you don't need to be jumping. Reminds me of the McDonald's/spilled coffee lawsuit. COFFEE IS HOT!!! be careful and use common sense if there is such a thing anymore.

  20. With all the talk about the govt, I thought I would share this....it actually has some good points and thats my opinion....we all have them and thats what makes things turn into a urinary olympics....again, just my opinion. BILL OF NO RIGHTS, by Lewis Napper We, the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid any more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the termilnally whiny, guilt-ridden, delunsional and other liberal, commie, pinko bedwetters. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that a whole lot of people were confused by the Bill Of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill of No Rights. Article I: You do not have the right to a new ca, big screen color TV or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legall acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything. Article II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone-not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc., but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be. Article III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy. Article IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes. Article V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care. Article VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and kill you. Article VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together snd lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to big-screen color TV or a life of leisure. Article VIII: You don't have the right to demand that our children risk their lives in foreign wars to soothe your aching conscience. We hate oppressive governments and won't lift a finger to stop you from going to fight if you'd like. However, we do not enjoy parenting the entire world and do not want to spend so much of our time battleing each and every little tyrant with a military uniform and funny hat. Article IX: You don't have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have one, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the oppourunities in education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. Article X: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to pursue happiness-which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an overabundance of idiotic laws created by those of who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
