  1. Want a good laugh, listen to Obama reading his book.
  2. She'll be sure to stop in Indonesia to visit her old friend Riaddy.
  3. Three Stooges, Bugs Bunny, Looney Toons, Bullwinkle and Rocky, Beanie and Cecil, Quickdraw McGraw, Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear and many more I have forgotten. Those are cartoons, not the PCish crap from the 80s.
  4. I heard that the fire was racing faster than one can drive. Probably making the situation worse are eucalyptus trees (if they grow in that area) as they are full of resin. Here in the SF bay area, they are cutting down as many as they can, since they are a non-native species and will go up in a second.
  5. My favorite : Tommy Tutone, 867-5309.
  6. Gare scored 50 in 79 games in 75-76.
  7. That was a National Lampoon radio skit from the early 70s (pre SNL). The "Eggamuffin" guy is Bill Murray.
  8. He also helped keep the Raiders and the Patriots afloat in the early 1960s.
  9. An example of the above is at the Kennedy Space Center. They privatized a lot of jobs in the mid 90s, but it's still government money paying them.
  10. had a friend that was a Controller for a well drilling company. He had to down to WV to give guys on the rigs their checks if something got messed up (this was before direct deposit was popular or mandatory). He said that the #1 aim of women in WV was to get the hell out of WV! When he would go to a bar there, as soon as they found out he was from out of state, they glommed onto him.
  11. The mortgage crisis was BECAUSE of regulations . Dodd and Frank pushed through legislation that required banks to make iffy loans so that "the poor could afford to buy a house too". Those two should be in Leavenworth(Of course Barney Frank would like it).
  12. Hey Rip Van Winkle, a lot are done through the bellybutton. Hernias, appendectomies, gall bladder removals. My father had his appendix out in 1963. He showed us his large healing incision at the time. My mother had her appendix out in 2007 (at the age of 80). She said they went through her bellybutton. She said she can't even see the two small incisions for the camera and light .
  13. It's the taxes in NH that makes it Three Buck Chuck there. It's still $2 here in CA
  14. Two Buck Chuck at Trader Joe's.
  15. The pilot's from the town 10 miles north of me , Danville, CA. Two weeks ago about 4,000 people showed up to honor him.
  16. Your brother will be fine with only one. I had one of mine taken out when I was four from congenital reasons (back in 1961). No problems, I just couldn't play tackle football, hockey, or dive from a high board (sports the doc said could allow me to get hit in the back and possibly damage the remaining kidney).
  17. JC II No, not Jesus Christ. Jimmy Carter II. For those too young to remember, look up "carter malaise speech".
  18. I shouldn't, but I have to laugh at all the contortions the dems here are going through to excuse the incompetence of the first few weeks of the Obama administration. At this rate he will out-Carter Carter.
  19. ZZ TOP!!!!!!!!!!
  20. Barack Obama hates white people.
  21. I caught that when they were telling him to not do it again and was wondering WTF that was about.
  22. The old Steve Martin bit abiut how to rob a bank: 1. Rob a bank 2. When the police catch you, say "I forgot robbing a bank was against the law."
  23. Never found any, but did find rolling papers in one. Threw them out because kids find them too (and I haven't partaked in > 20 years). Also, no candles, food or scented stuff. If I find that, I take it out. Animals can smell the least amount of food or soap, or candles. A skunk or raccoon (or bears in your area) can wreck a plastic container. You can look at anyones finds on the web site by searching for their screen name (mine is the same as here). If you have any questions about the hobby, PM me.
  24. Even the old guys can do it. I'm >50. There are several retired people I know that geocache. I met a woman geocacher one time that was 80!
  25. People hide things in containers, from eraser sized containers to ammo cans or pickle buckets in size. They have a logbook in them and some times trinkets (usually for the kids). People hide it (never buried), and post a webpage about it. You download the coords to GPS, and the description to a PDA, and search for it. When you find it, you sign the log, put it back where it was hidden, and also log it on the hobby's web site. People have t-shirts that say " I use billions of dollars of technology to find Tupperware in the woods". It gets you out all over the place. Over five years ago I wanted to get some exercise, but thought walking or biking up the same trail was bring. I saw an article on it, tried it and was hooked. It's better than being a couch potato all weekend. There are hundreds of thousands all over the world. Some soldiers even geocache on the military bases in Iraq. There are likely several less than a mile from you, unless you live way in the sticks ( Alaska has about 1000 total). A couple met at a picnic for the hobby in my area and their daughter (now three) has about 1600 finds (when she is with mommy or daddy, they write a cute log for her). Families and all ages of people can do it. I have gotten to see just about all the parks in my area, and many beautiful views. I have to travel for work, so I download several where I am going to be and if I have time, I look for a few after I am done for the day. In 5.5 years, I have found about 4000 caches.
