  1. In some states, I've been told, it is illegal to advertise at the pump how much is tax and how much is the gasoline.

    Vaseline Man

    He had to go down under to pull this one off, if you know what I mean Packing for trip: Passport? check US Porn, can't be too sure of foreign porn? check 14 jars of vasoline? check NASCAR coverage in Australia? check Bush for President stickers? check Sammy Sosa jersey? check Extra petroluem jelly? check
  3. BTW, take my avatar if you're man enough
  4. These public service announcements were brought to you by: Teammates for Accurate Information SS2k4 and TexSox
  5. I believe, at least in some states, gasoline is a flat tax, regardless of price. As in .04 per gallon for local roads, .10 per gallon for the general budget, etc. not a percentage like sales taxes.
  6. Whew! Police technician comes to mom's rescue just in time more at link
  7. And they said George W wasn't helping the economy.
  8. Florida guardsman faces court-martial on desertion charge 2 for 1 deal.
  9. ABC Picks Up British Show 'Wife Swap' Now that's entertainment
  10. who called it bombardment? We had a rule change that all throws had to be two handed over the head until a guy got bopped wight in the face while attempting a throw. I also liked scooter dodgeball. We played while seated on these little four wheel scooters. The cool thing was to push off from the bleachers and use the momentum to add a little extra on the ball.
  11. I would tune in for a couple games to hear Sir Charles.
  12. 7 Bridges Road is on my All-Time, better in concert than on an album tune. Burn Down the Mission may be #1 on that list but 7 Bridges Road is also way up there. One of the biggest threats to the Eagles ever getting traction was the country vs. soft rock vs. hard-er rock sounds. The money at the recird company and early producers had them as country-lite-rock and they wanted to rock a bit more. I think that was one reason they got Joe invoved.
  13. Then use your white out and fix it blondy
  14. I think Eck and Larussa basically re-invented the closer role. Closers are 1 part pitcher, 1 part luck, 1 part attitude, and 1 part black magic. ALl mist be perfectly alligned. How many times have we seen 1 or 2 season ultimate closer types and then they fade quickly to oblivion?
  15. That guy must have been cut out of the picture Please repost and we'll let you know
  16. Yes Alpine Valley. The cops loved concerts up there. They would bust a couple hundred cars for open liquor on the way north, grab some dinner and a nap and then bust them for drunk driving on the way south. The book focused more on the early influences, the California rock scene, who they were hanging with, that sort of stuff. I am always interested in how so many acts are intertwined. IIRC, Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles all hung out together. There was also some stuff on JD Sother (damn, forget the spelling) on how he was in and out of the group. By-the-way, since there latest efforts have not sold very well, yet they have a following, are they an indie band now?

    Vaseline Man

    We know he didn't chaffe at the arrest The makers of Vaseline would want that product refered to as patroleum jelly. By the way, it was initially invented to be taken internally as a health aid.
  18. Welcome aboard. And kudos for figuring out where to post first. Most first time posters just wander over to the Pale Hose forum.
  19. Go Neal. I am certain this season will see at least one of our reasonably home grown pitchers have a great season. Here's to Neal making that prediction come true
  20. Old Playground Favorite More at the link.
  21. When I was in High School the Eagles were a twice a year concert treat. They would always play Poplar Creek and/or South Wisconsin, I forget the venue near the old Playboy Club (Americana) and they would play an indoor show. Very cool. I read the bands autobiography, it was pretty cool.
  22. God Bless, my prayers are with you tonight and as you deal with all the emotions. I am certain there are many happy memories, we are lucky to have love ones to enjoy in our lives.
