  1. CW You are trying to debate with someone who our government has trained to believe that violence is the answer. Don't get frustrated :banghead
  2. What is defensive about shooting 6 missels into a crowded highway? You wouldn't consider nuclear extreme?

    One of the funniest moments did involve a water hazard. It was a HS dual meet and I was playing 2nd man varsity and of course we were playing their 1st and 2nd varsity players. Coming into the 8th hole we were 4 down and in trouble. Our 4th and 5th varsity players were not the best and basically that year we only won when David and I helped build a lead. Anyway this guy from the other team nails a drive leaving himself 75 yeard over a water hazard to the green. The three of us were all over the hazard and safe. Then, in order, this guy 1. Lays the turf over one and splashes. So he moves up about 40 yards to the water's edge. 2. Hits the other bank, and the balls rolls back into the water. 3. Pissed off takes a full swing and blades the ball, it skips across the water, zooms over the green, and out of bounds. 4. Walks 50 yards down the fairway muttering to himself the whole time. 5. Comes back and knocks a wedge onto the green. The whole time I am not looking at anyone, knowing I will crack up and piss my pants. I turn and see the guy throw his club at his bag. It skips off the bag and splashes into the pond. I look up at his teammate who is laughing so hard the guy falls to the ground. I bust a gut laughing, I thought I was going to die, I couldn't breath. Just as I got my breath, I look up to see the guy walk into the pond and try and find his wedge. He made 11 on the hole. Called us a bunch of assholes and walked off the course.
  4. I need to be more carefull.
  5. Then why cheer their deaths? Israel fires onto a crowded highway, doesn't kill their target but does kill two bystanders. Your reaction Israel4ever's reaction So again I point out your callous disregard for human life. A trait you share with the terrorists you despise. Be proud.
  6. I agree he is a great player, a HoF player, and I have many memories of he and MJ shutting down teams with their D. I was always more impressed with the Bulls D during those runs then their offense. Pip has the longest arms I've ever seen on a court. But to say that they wouldn't have one 6 without Pip? Maybe too far. We'll never know who would have been in that slot and the mix on the team.
  7. No, not for the terrorist, but for the two people killed because they travelled on a highway. What was their crime? Driving to work? You two have such high regard for human life. At least if you ever meet up with terrorists, you will have something in common.
  8. Rantisi's car in a crowded Gaza thoroughfare Two Palestinian bystanders were killed I would be so proud to know I was murdering innocent bystanders. I cannot believe anyone can applaud the murder of innocent lives. Imagine of Israel decided to fire missles down the Dan Ryan suring rush hour because a Hamas leader was around. :headshake
  9. Not so fast southsider looking at your avatar http://www.alyon.org/generale/theatre/cine...ystery_tour.jpg :headshake
  10. I dumped it a few days ago. I forgot to move it to my site. Me :dips***
  11. I was just reading that. Here's the CNN.SI Link I think he's getting a 10 minute misconduct

    I'm assuming half are wrong and the other half are out of context, but fun never-the-less.
  13. Link to the story I guess if the state executed him, they could have just revived him. Darryl Hunt and his wife, April, look over a copy of his pardon from North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley, Thursday. Gee a North Carolina jury convicting someone who looks like Darryl, I'm shocked

    LIFE IN THE 1500'S The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s: These are interesting... Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs." There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet , so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they adding more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway. Hence the saying a "thresh hold." (Getting quite an education, aren't you?) In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old." Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat." Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous. Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust." Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake." England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer." And that's the truth... Now, whoever said that History was boring ! ! ! Educate someone...
  15. Ah, the drinking excuse. #1 on the male excuse list.

    I'm pissed

    My High School moments like that all occured on the Golf course. I was always writing letters of apology to the other school. I am sorry my actions on October 2 blah blah blah reflected badly blah blah on my school and myself blah blah. And this was in the 70's so I couldn't even save the document and just keep reprinting. Some of the infractions included an attempt to custom modify my putter during a round. I felt the shaft was too straight and that the gentle bending of the shaft around an oak tree would be just what it needed
  17. As long as they can attract enough financial support to keep it going. Listeners may be less than half the equation.
  18. Step one is to unplug the machine and then reboot. Tech support does that because A. It usually fixes the problem -and- B. Gives them 5 minutes to look up step 2 And I thought Steff was The Big Skirt to cover her big
  19. The Book of Revelation is possibly the most studied, and twisted Book in the New Testament. Of course the legion of "Doomsday Prophets" and Cult Leaders all have a certain affinity for Revelation. Given enough time, anything from the Twin Towers to the Water Tower could be "proven". IMHO, every person should read Revelation and reach their own conclusion.
  20. Just for fun type in Frank Thomas complains in your favorite search engine. A complaint from Frank is instant front page news. A complaint from Crede might be buried somewhere in the game notes. Frank made this bed. He knows what will happen when he makes these types of statements. When the light shined on Maggs, Frank gets some headlines.
