  1. That's precisely what I thought when I saw that.... Are all of the 80s taken? After the cuts come, he'll have to take one.
  2. Does his nephew Mike work there now as a turnstile at the entrance?
  3. Did you see the Jessica Simpson/Nick Whatever USO special on ABC last night? She was on the range with an M-16 and swung it over as she turned around; the person next to her said "Whoa!" and had to brush it back downrange. Some people do not have total respect for firearms. My brother was her security escort when she did a tour in Afghanistan, I think it was in '02. He's got an autograph on Stuff or Maxim. I quote: "Nice T&A but there's nothing there. And she sings like crap."
  4. I just love that this distraction is going into a second season. Wicky is just toying with them.
  5. He got the news that he was being poisioned, and probably instantly thought of Bree. Especially how she delayed taking him to the hospital last week. Rex actually is/was a doctor, so it's not w/o question that he'd have a friend who might cover for him if he faked his own death. I didn't think of the Mike/Zach father/son connection until they were in the mine and he rushed off. He should've shot Paul. Question I've got is as an ex-felon, why didn't the police arrest him for gun possession when he "shot himself while cleaning [his] gun"? That's 5 years in prison, mandatory. "Sometimes, evil drives a minivan."
  6. Change the uniforms to these and write in the contract that I get 10 percent of the profits from all jersey sales for life. Then go to Amsterdam.
  7. You must not read the board very often. Thanks for the red herring. So what exactly does that mean; everyone else gets carte blanche to be a hypocrite?
  8. I'd wager that, collectively, there's a lot more of these kinds of cases in small denominations across the country than in the entire Catholic Church.
  9. I've almost never worn sunscreen, especially when doing heavy work during the summer. One of the few times I've ever gotten a sunburn was at the Ralph in early October(!) in '97 when they played the Lions.
  10. Wow. I don't know about his 'homicide' accusation, but the last two sentences are accurate in today's Army PR machine. They thought they could conceal the truth with a Silver Star and they could put his face on recruiting posters. A lot of young people see the lies all around and are choosing not to serve. Memo: people don't like being lied to. FFS, I wouldn't say that Pat Tillman's sacrifice has been tarnished. This stuff reflects on the Army and their sh--head leadership from behind a desk --- not on Pat and the others who serve honorably.
  11. Link. Fits right into the theory that like everything else on this planet, if you do/eat it either too much or too little, it'll give you cancer or be otherwise detrimental to your health.
  12. And this is exactly what's starting to happen in Afghanistan with Karzi getting uppity and saying that he wants control over all American operations there. And in however many years we're in Iraq, that will be the spouting 30 seconds after the wheels of the last B-52 lift off their sh**-scented ground. Freedom's on the March tho.
  13. Doesn't this mean that wine producers can just start shipping? The law was ruled unconstitutional/illegal in terms of interstate commerce. I would think it's immediately stricken from the books. How can a company verify age by Internet or mail tho? Are there services that do that? I'm a little miffed by that. They need to tread carefully b/c shipping to a minor can shut them down...
  14. Actually, it was the bullets and beatings delivered by fellow Afghanis/Uzbeks that is responsible for killing those people. The photos of Saddam in his underwear published yesterday.... Pres. Bush said, "I don't think it's a photo that will cause people to murder." Now, replace the word 'photo' in that sentence with 'word.' If that's the sense he was trying to get at, I wholly agree with him. But, either he's going counter to what Scott McClellan and the rest of the media/PR circus is spouting about, or it's another case of "Do as I say, not as I do." Yet another example of the foot-in-mouth disease that's spreading so rapidly.
  15. And then, the soldiers can starve to death when farmers refuse to provide them food; WE grew it; YOU can't eat it. Same for every other product and service necessary for survival. You think you're the end-all be-all, you'll quickly find out you aren't. This is the stupidest argument I've heard since.... Well, maybe this is the stupidest argument I've heard. Unfugginbelievable! ----- And back to the original subject, recruiters should be allowed just like X Tree Company should be allowed. But it's a pretty sh--ty deal when recruiters are so unethical that today, they had a "values stand-down" so they could all undergo training in proper procedure.
  16. Something they really does need to change is all of the "He"s that describe the President. Does that mean only a man can be POTUS (but hey, it'd be a nice thing for if Hillary tried to run. Uhp! Sorry Mrs. Clinton! )? How that's managed to stay the same....
  17. He was returning from the safari that he wasn't allowed to go on b/c he was in the wheelchair.
  18. And I think that suspiciousness is mutual. She has experience w/ people who are doing the island's bidding. And to this point, I would mention Locke smiling while rocking the bloody cradle in Claire's dream. I would wager Rousseau will be protecting the baby.
  19. <handclap for someone who gets it>. Name a president who hasn't had a judicial appointment blocked or seriously rangled by the other party(ies). The vast majority are approved, some are not. That's the nature of the beast. Not everything is meant to have complete compromise. The filibuster was created for a reason. If it's improper usage, there are consequences in elections. This is all about a looming battle over a SC nominee in the short term. Stupid reason to change the rules and compromise the checks-and-balances system. Funny how none of the justices, a few of them getting up there in age and in declining health (esp. Renquist), have shown an inkling of hanging up their robe. Maybe for their own reasons of wanting to stay on for a true lifetime appointment, maybe b/c they don't like the idea of who a likely successor will be....
  20. I'd venture the middling time b/w when he lost Ben Coates and several weeks after the injury when it was becoming clear Brady would be the Pats' QB of the future and the questions of how could he do it and Bledsoe utterly couldn't. It was a transition of losing confidence/skill he never got used to and didn't want to accept. The first half-season in Buffalo was like a sugar-high. I actually wouldn't be surprised if he did well in Big D right out of the gate and then similarly peters out.
  21. Right. They were chased away from the Black Rock. So they need to go back to get the dynamite. Excuse me. I haven't had my caffeine yet. That's what I was thinking about the radar; the back of the plane. With Sawyer doing a swan dive off of the raft to go mack it with M-Rod.
  22. Hmm. Yeah, what were the drugs that she gave Sayid? He said he didn't remember much about that, didn't he? Also, saw the full preview again last night and there was a skeleton hanging by shackles (is that what's in the hatch?). And a radar monitor with a blip. Was that salvaged from the plane and brought on the raft? By the by, there's a write-up/interviews by E!'s Kristin here. The guy who plays Charlie is really a hoot, especially when you read it with his voice and personality in mind.
  23. Point taken about her remembering/longing but it seemed more than that, even. She and Ethan know something about the Others and the baby (and I don't specifically mean Claire's child (does he have a name yet?), just a baby. I don't get the sense that it's a trap. All the scenes with her have shown real fear and the justifiable craziness of living with that fear for 16 years. More a combination that she's warmed to the idea of human contact in the past month and the bond that was formed b/w her and Sayid, that now she maybe feels she owes the Lostaways a heads-up at least. CTM, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. They don't have this ep quite yet.
  24. The Big East needs good people to make good things happen in the midst of this change. Sucks how losing three programs almost destroyed the conference, and may yet (I like the addition of Louisville and S. Florida tho, and give us a couple of years to groom our QB....). I will hate VT, Miami and BC for the rest of time.
  25. And they don't call them 'hash marks' for nothing, you know!
