  1. Genny light is Genesee light, made in Rochester. Cheap beer that everyone drank when they were underage. The Cream Ale came with a green label giving it the nickname Green Death or what it did to your GI tract the next morning- Genny Screamers.

     

    My friend had a trailer in Wellsville. He calls me up at 8 AM and says to blow off grad school for the day. We go out to the trailer, get drunk, shoot at stuff with his shotgun and watch porno on the VCR-

    He had a great quote that day:

     

    "Booze, smut, and guns. This is America!" :)

  2. I was in first grade. The teacher got a phone call and she stepped out into the hall. She came back in crying. Unlike today where they "protect" kids, she told us that the president was shot. The school had about 150 kids in it, so they took the one TV the school had and set it up in the cafe/gym/atoriumand had us all watch it until the buses came and took us home early.

    I remember seeing the Oswald shooting live on TV a few days later. I think it was a Sunday morning.

    My father didn't swear in front of us when I was that small, but he said "Holy sh--! when he saw it.

  3. Finally a brilliant move by the Republicans. The dems have been harping for us to pull out. The Republicans said OK, lets see you vote for it. The dems didn't even have the backbone to vote for what they have been harping on for several years. Plus it made them work late when they were trying to book out of town for their two week vacation.

  4. We cut outta work at 2pm and went for beer...and we had something i never tried...fried macaroni and cheese..it actually wasnt too bad, but thats prolly the beer talking...it consisted of triangle shaped pieces of fried mac and cheese clumps...

    Retatta!!! :lol:

  5. Perhaps you slept through what they did to Max Cleland?  No, I know you didn't.  It's hard to believe but there is NOTHING those slimeballs won't stoop to.

    From Rich lowery, National Review Online , Feb 20,2004:

     

    ...Democrats make it sound as though Cleland's opponent, the four-term Republican congressman Saxby Chambliss, ran an ad something like this: "Sen. Max Cleland," — cue the ominous music — "is he a patriot? Georgia wants to know."

     

    Of course, nothing remotely like this ran. The case for foul play rests on a tough anti-Cleland ad that Chambliss broadcast featuring Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. The ad didn't morph Cleland into either of these figures or say that he supported them. It noted at its beginning that the United States faced threats to its security as the screen was briefly divided into four squares, with bin Laden and Saddam in two of them and the other two filled with images of the American military.

     

    It went on to explain that Cleland had voted 11 times against a homeland-security bill that would have given President Bush the freedom from union strictures that he wanted in order to set up the new department. The bill was co-sponsored by his Georgia colleague Sen. Zell Miller, a fellow Democrat. Bush discussed details of the bill personally with Cleland, and Chambliss wrote him a letter prior to running his ad urging him to support the Bush version. Cleland still opposed it, setting himself up for the charge that he was voting with liberals and the public-employees unions against Bush and Georgia common sense.

     

    If you can't criticize the Senate votes of a senator in a Senate race, what can you criticize? Throughout the race, Cleland tried to hide behind the idea that his patriotism was being questioned. A columnist for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted in June of 2002 that "this 'how-dare-you-attack-my-patriotism' ploy, replete with feigned outrage...is a device to put Cleland's voting records off-limits." It didn't work. Chambliss won the crucial endorsement of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, which made its nod on the basis of the two candidates' differing records on national-security and veterans issues. The VFW wouldn't have been complicit in a gutter campaign based on smearing a Vietnam veteran.

     

     

    Doesn't sound like a slime campaign to me. but of course to the dems, just criticising them is sliming them.

  6. We will be staying at Vistana Resorts off !4 near lake Buena Vista. I have my wife and 3 kids, (although I doubt they want to leave the pool) and my mother-in-law. I may just sneak out and watch it alone, but I don't know the area well enough. I was thinking of someplace at universal, but they are all basketball.  Would like to be with Bills fans.

    Lake Buena Vista I believe is the "town" (mailing address) that Disney World is in. There is an ESPN Zone at the Boardwalk resort near EPCOT. I looked up the hotel on the web. You are maybe 4-5 miles from EPCOT.

  7. Scientology has a history with suing people.  I wouldn't call it a dare.  The whole purpose of the ending was to setup the joke in the credits.

    What was it? I looked away when the credits ran. I know about the suing.

  8. As the post above yours cleary indicates, it's from Lt. Col. Barry Venable, a Pentagon spokesman.

     

    Stupid reporter? Italian Communists? <_< Thanks for playing.

    Quote from the AP article:

     

    Italian communists held a sit-in Monday in front of the U.S. Embassy in Rome to protest the reported use by American troops of white phosphorous. Italy's state-run RAI24 news television aired a documentary last week alleging the U.S. used white phosphorous shells in a "massive and indiscriminate way" against civilians during the Fallujah offensive.

     

    This is not the part of the article that quoted the Lt. Col. This is later in it.

  9. Probably a stupid reporter finally found out that tracer bullets consist of Phosphorus which ignites by the friction with the air. (I found out about that on Mythbusters last night.)

    And what is the source in the AP article that we used them against civilians?- Italian Communists staging a sit-in.
