  1. The Yadkin 500... remember that well. Use to be able to race all the way from the barracks to skybo road. Now Bragg is a closed base and there are stop lights everywhere.
  2. I met the guitar player for Jackel through a mutual friend. Believe it or not, he now works at a library for his day job. He's a cool guy and even got me back stage passes for Alice Cooper
  3. I can't stand the way people drive up here. Perhaps I spent to long down in Atlanta and came accustomed to driving 15 over the speed limit. Another question... why does it take so long for road construction. They have been working on the highways all summer long and only now starting to make progress.
  4. You can forward it to your ISP's abuse department. For instance, abuse@adelphia.net would sent it to adelphia's policy enforcement team. If the email address isn't spoofed, you can also forward it to the senders ISP. For example, if its a hotmail account you can forward it to abuse@hotmail.com. If the email is directing you to a link, you can contact the IPP who is hosting that website and let them know.
  5. Scars of life... song list Mute (play song) Away from me (play song) Lemon (play song) My favorite band, scars of life just got a record deal. You can listen and download their music for free at the above URL.
  6. Falugia is going to be very bloody, no doubt about that. I'd love to see them pound the city with artillery before we went in, but that's not going to happen. The SOP for tactically taking a city use to change every other month when I was on active duty. There's really no good way to do it.
  7. I would be for Bledsoe if we had different personal in place. Right now we need one of those halfback QBs, not a pocket passer.
  8. The irony of this.... is the 540,000 people who complained to the FCC, are the ones indirectly paying the fine. This isn't the last of it, CBS will appeal the fine.
  9. The big news is the company that makes Twinkies and Wonder Bread has filed for bankruptcy. Life as we know it is now over.
  10. Link CBS hit with $550K Super Bowl fine FCC imposes $27,500 on each of 20 CBS-owned affiliates that showed broadcast of half-time show. September 22, 2004: 2:35 PM EDT NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Viacom Inc. was hit with $550,000 in fines for the Super Bowl half-time show in February that briefly showed singer Janet Jackson's breast. The fine is one of the largest ever imposed by the Federal Communications Commission. The Super Bowl halftime show that showed Janet Jackson's breast resulted in a $550,000 fine against CBS by the Federal Communications Commission Wednesday. The maximum $27,500 fine was levied on the 20 CBS affiliates that are owned by the network. Affiliates with separate owners were spared the fine. "No television event has ever received as many complaints from the American public -- over 540,000 -- as the Super Bowl XXXVIII half-time show produced by CBS," said a statement from FCC Chairman Michael Powell. "Indecency determinations, however, must be made cautiously and with appropriate restraint." CBS, whose executives had earlier vowed to fight a fine, would only say Wednesday that it was reviewing options regarding an appeal. "We are extremely disappointed in the ruling," said a statement from the network. "While we regret that the incident occurred and have apologized to our viewers, we continue to believe that nothing in the Super Bowl broadcast violated indecency laws. Furthermore, our investigation proved that no one in our company had any advance knowledge about the incident." Two members of the five-member commission objected to the fine as too lenient, saying that even the affiliates not owned by CBS should have been subject to fines. One member objected that the commission paid little attention to and imposed no fines on other aspects of the half-time show, which many viewers complained was lewd and inappropriate. "After all the bold talk, it's a slap on the wrist that can be paid with just 7.5 seconds of Super Bowl ad time," said a dissent from FCC member Jonathan Adelstein. "This decision sets a puzzling precedent by failing to hold all licensees responsible for the material broadcast over their stations. Why announce such a thorough investigation, if we just let some of the stations that broadcast this material completely off the hook?" But another FCC member, Kevin Martin, blamed the FCC for not clarifying the ability of affiliates to reject broadcasts of their networks that they deem indecent. "We need to affirm local broadcasters' ability -- and responsibility -- to reject inappropriate programming," he said. "This obligation is critical to local broadcasters' ability to keep coarser network programming off the air in their communities. The network affiliates asked us to clarify this right over three years ago. We still have not acted." CBS and Viacom's cable television unit MTV, which produced the show, blamed the exposing of Jackson's breast on a "wardrobe malfunction." Justin Timberlake, the other singer in the number, was supposed to rip off her outer garment but leave her breast covered.
  11. I blame Billy the buffalo and the Jills. Billy has an airgun, its time for him to learn how to use it! He could fire those cheap T-shirts at the opposing players bench. I want to see the Jills do some crazy stevestojan on the visitors sideline. Yes girls, that means bikini tops on Jan 2nd. Make a sacrifice for the team.
  12. Don't worry CW... I've had plenty of them done to me and I survived. The worst part is you have to sit still with your mouth open for an hour or so.
  13. I was on a competitor's website and somebody posted a link here. I clicked on it and the rest is history.
  14. The fact he is still a free agent in my fantasy football league might tell you something.
  15. Earlier this year militants beheaded a woman in Kashmir. Nobody really cared and it wasn't a big news story. What if an American woman was beheaded in Iraq. Would it change the way people feel? To me a human life is a human life regardless of the sex. But would people be more upset if it was a female or child being murdered.
  16. I usually arrive at the Ralph around 11am, and load up on beer and chicken wings. I do a lot of screaming in the stadium and my voice is gone by the 3rd quarter. For away games my entire family comes on over to the house. It's the only thing we do as a family. There's lots of beer, food and screaming at the TV.
  17. On a postive note... the sabres might go undefeated this year.
  18. 122,000 results in google can't be wrong. MSNBC U.S. intelligence officials believe bin Laden began to turn against the United States in the mid-1980s — a time when he still took aid and training from the CIA
  19. Come on guys... Bledsoe only wears visors. We need a product everyone can enjoy.
  20. Guys this is serious.... he was the starting TE on my fantasy team! Now what the !@#$ am i going to do.
  21. Marine Barracks in Beirut TWA Flight 847 USS Cole Sept 11th Russian School massacre Beheadings What do these things have in common... Islamic extremists.
