  1. Also played Nash Bridges' father. Had cancer several years ago and had a recurrence a few months ago. Was too far gone for chemo or radiation and died at home.
  2. Reminds me of the crash my cousin's daughter had. Skidded on ice in Lancaster and hit a pole. When she came to, her driver's seat was on top of the passenger seat (she was alone). She ended up with a collapsed lung, but no other major injuries. Was OK in a month or so. The cop that first responded told her he was expecting to find a fatality.
  3. The advantages of being an old fart: I've heard of Nickleback, but I couldn't name a song of theirs if a gun was held to my head.
  4. On MadTV, they did great parodies of these movies.
  5. It's on videotape, Oh King of the Morans! In fact, I saw it on Election Day.
  6. I see nothing at all racist in the billboard. 60% of people say they think socialist when they hear Obama's name. They are just reminding people of other socialist regimes. It was OK when all those posters of Bush as Hitler were around though.The ones around now of Obama are by the LaRouchites, it even says so at the bottom of their posters.
  7. Maybe it didn't in HS but does now. Someone said something about her well to do upbringing. She went to Castro Valley HS, which by no stretch of the imagination is well to do. Later her family moved to Danville, CA which is well off, but that is after she was in HS.
  8. He has a phone on set that the White House can call any time to refute what he says about them. It has yet to ring.
  9. Kiss Supertramp Crosby Stills and Nash
  10. They looted a Foot locker, Jewelery store, and haircare store! (Air Jordans, bling, and the best shampoo) They didn't loot Oaksterdam "University" which was right in the middle of the area. There was a peaceful protest at city hall with Oscar grant's relatives calling for peace, but after they left, the trustafarians (white trust-fund kiddies acting like rastas) and the anarchists showed up and that is when the trouble started. About half of the people I saw arrested on TV were the trustafarians or anarchists.
  11. Was at UB inthe late 70s. Taking computer intro course. Used punch cards (this was before PCs). After reading the cards you might have to wait several hours for the printout. Was there till about 2 AM one evening. Driving home down the 290 and 90. Fell asleep at the wheel. Came to and I was driving on the shoulder in front of the trooper barracks in Cheektowaga. Luckily I stayed on the road. Always made sure I didn't get that tired when having to drive home.
  12. Buftex, Where are you? Here in the SF area, all the WF ATMs take deposits of checks or cash without an enelope. Hve done so for several yeas now. Also, the banks are open Saturdays, Why didn't you go inside then?
  13. Think. If there was an invasion of Japan, you might not be here. Your dad, or grandfather likely was going to be sent there and might have been one of the MILLION casualties. Look how they fought to the last man for Iwo Jima. They would fight much harder for the main islands. They were training men, women, and children how to repel us with pitchforks if need be. Hiroshima didn't make them surrender instantly, how would a demo in the ocean or a remote location do that? Even after Nagasaki, there was a coup attempt by the people that wanted to keep fighting.
  14. The FastTrak in the SF Bay area lets you go through at about 20 at booths and at a new bridge, there isn't any structure across part of it and FastTrak users can go 40. The Oakland-Bay Bridge (the one that had part collapse back in 1989 and the replacement is currently being constructed) has 15 toll lanes which narrow down to 5 lanes on the bridge. They have metering lights to control the chaos, but they go on at 6:30 AM or so and the traffic can back up at least a half mile or so. Then the traffic has to slow down on the bridge to 35 because thare is an "S-curve" , put in last year where the new bridge will connect to the tunnels through Yerba Buena Island. There have been many accidents there. A semi went over the side one night. They have rumble strips, dots on the road, large signs with flashing numbers and cops sitting there and still the accidents happen.
  15. Oscar grant's relative was on TV this morning and said if the jury finds the cop innocent or involuntary manslaughter, that "Oakland better get ready for some trouble". If there are riots, I'd arrest her for inciting a riot.
  16. The EMTs, hospitals, FD, and PD in Oakland are on alert about this. The local clergy are trying to calm things down, but the guy's family are whipping it up.The incident was on tape. It is obvious that the BART cop accidentally grabbed his pistol instead of the taser. The guy he shot and his friends were causing trouble on BART on New Years Day (about 2 AM). They were trying to cuff him and he was resisting. The DA was trying for a 1st degree murder charge.
  17. A real phto of Nancy Pelosi.
  18. Manbearpig isn't that slim.
  19. How did San Francisco finish ahead of Buffalo??
  20. And Fremont is where the A's are thinking of moving. Fremont is estimated to be about 215 K in size, getting closer to Buffalo's size
  21. An ultra gay avatar and no idea of what you are talking about. You have to be related to Connor!
  22. Are you related to Connor???
  23. Thank you Jenny McCarthy. The report that people use to back the link has been shown to be garbage.
