  1. The base has been here since WWII. It was during that time, the Seabees Pacific HQ and had a large Naval Hospital. The County Jail and a Sherif's Department shooting range are next door to the bomb range.The area around it was empty until about 10 years ago. The town (Dublin) doubled in size during the last 10 years - 23 to 46 K. I think those houses were built around 2004 or so. These were on the east side of the base. I live on the west side, but there are 100 foot hills between us and the base. Right after 9/11, I could hear almost nonstop gunfire there as all the reservists in the area were honing their infantry skills. Like I said, this is only a couple miles from me.
  2. Mythbusters does a lot of stuff at the Alameda County Sheriff's bomb range. They had a "Oops!" moment Tuesday. http://dublin.patch.com/articles/mythbusters-tv-show-filming-may-be-source-of-explosion#photo-8640285 This is about 2 miles east of me.
  3. Here's proof Tom is genius: http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-11-poop-throwing-chimps-intelligence.html (For new people - One of Tom's other personas was Crap Throwing Monkey)
  4. Handle them the way they should have handled the UC Berkely tree sitters. Give them 10 minutes to come down, then start up the chain saws.
  5. Every day DIN comes up with another statement further out in space. Either he is Connor or he is channeling him.
  6. The "Official" California unemployment rate is 11.7%. When you count people who have given up and people who are underemployed, it is more like 18-20%. Real "good" news here.
  7. My father was a Teamster and didn't like the union. There was a drunk on my dad's shift. Everyone knew he was a drunk and the union rep and management both agreed they would like to fire him, but with the contract they couldn't. Eventually the guy retired for health reasons (because of the booze). The guy ended up frozen to death in a snowbank because he passed out.
  8. "Drop your panties, Sir William; I cannot wait until lunchtime!"
  9. Then we can get Joey to do PR for them: "We're going to cut not 500 Billion, ... not 1 Trillion, but 1.5 Trillion dollars!"
  10. That Jets fan reminds me of so many posters on TBD.
  11. Of course they all have a "prescription" for "medical marijuana".
  12. FIFY The press says the shootings were on the "fringe" of the protest. They were at the BART entrance 60 ft away from the nearest tent. I's not like it was a block or two away.A reporter setting up for a 5 PM newscast was setting up with the camera rolling. You can hear the shots clear as day and see people ducking and running.
  13. No, they were "Hold muh beer."
  14. Mr. President, isn't it one of those where the girl's top comes off when you invert the pen?
  15. My mom was a partier. She's 85 now. There was someplace on the news burning (like every day in Buffalo) and she says I used to go drinking there. Then she rattled off about 2 dozen places she frequented. She then told us about her and her friends hitching across the Peace Bridge to get to Crystal Beach. Found out my godmother (my mother's friend for over 60 years) met her husband when they were waiting for a bus in front of the Warsaw Inn on Broadway at 1 in the morning and some guys pulled up to whistle at them. My sister said that my mom was really partying it up when they all went down to a cousin's kid's wedding in Virginia a few years ago. Someone asked where she was and my sister said she had to walk her up to her room !
  16. Don't take the brown acid Poojer. You just saw a bunch of planes flying out of Philly or NYC. This asteroid is nothing. It is passing by about 210K miles (85% of the distance to the moon, or about 25-30 times the diameter of the earth.
  17. When was the last time you were out of the basement??
  18. Child endangerment. Lock up the mom and take away the kids.
  19. It's time for the wood shampoo.
  20. They realized that their life sentence is going to be very short. Kid killers don't last long, especially female ones.
  21. He'll come back with "It was the Moops, not the Moors" (Seinfeld reference). Granada, Grenada, same difference.
  22. Wendie Malick is from Buffalo. The balding guy (photographer) on Just Shoot Me with her is also from WNY.
  23. Sympathy - it's somewhere in the dictionary between 'stevestojan' and 'syphilis'
  24. Interest on fellow muzzies is illegal, but soak the infidels.
