If I was still single, I'd do it in a minute. But I did my time, and I have a family now, so it's out of the question. If you want, I'll forward the information to the several hundred Cryptologic Linguist Technicians and Intelligence Analysts I know to see if there's any interest.

I'm not sure what 'nice try' you think you're thwarting there; I think the point was that aside from personal beliefs, even a supporter of legalized abortion can be in disagreement with the underlying legal foundation of Roe v Wade. I recall reading an opinion piece by a pro-choice, constitutional law scholar who felt that Roe V Wade was flawed. He did believe, however, there was possibly a better case to be made for it elsewhere in the Constitution. Should Roe V Wade be overturned, it will become a state's right issue. As much as I can't stand the constant misery of Mickey's posts, I do agree with one point he made - there will be an attempt by some in Congress to make federal law outlawing abortion. I just strongly disagree that there's anywhere near enough of them to be successful. Not even close, and I don't think it ever will be.

My mistake, you're right of course. Mr Dahl was not happy with the original movie; though based on his book, it took a lot of liberties. It was his widow, Felicity that worked directly with the screenwriter John August on this version.

I love it. I don't recall any any other SC nominees' bios that included what sports team they root for.

The author of the story, Roald Dahl (may he RIP), did not like the original movie version of this story and was collaborating on this one when he passed. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

First thing I thought of was the John Lennon "Beautiful Boy" song a few people mentioned, but there's some other good song suggestions here too. Even simple lullabies. I think the best idea is have a family member sing whatever it is you choose - that would be awesome. Grandparents, Mom, Dad - even you. Doesn't have to be professional quality - it's something that has meaning beyond the ability of the singer. One of my Uncles recently passed away. During the memorial service, they played a recording of him singing a hymn solo. He was not the best singer, but it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

I've worked for and met a lot of colonels in the last 25 years, and I can't remember a single one who reached that rank at 30 years old. I don't know the history of the officers I knew who were already generals, but I doubt any of them were colonel at 30 - that's just amazing. What a career. RIP General W., and thank you for your service.

When I was young, I got in so much trouble my parents decided to send me away to board at St Francis. I had to work for the school after school and on weekends to pay for my tuition (cleaning, groundskeeping). They took me out to come back home and go to public school two years later. Didn't care for the situation much at first, but given a choice, I wanted to stay there through graduation. What a great school.

Best line of this thread.

Well, it's a running joke on everyone who's born in March '48. But I think it's more funny about a politician who looks stiff and uncomfortable in his 'human suit'. Oh yeah, the thread topic - the idea of the UN taking control of the internet (and their justification of it) is one of the worst BS ideas I've ever heard. Any other successful aspects of US industry, economy, or military we should hand over while we're at it? Idiots. Like I needed another reason the UN can KMA.

And a fine job you're doing too, son. Get to work on that Grand Jury leak, because there's still enough questions for this to go either way, or nowhere.

Did Alaska Darin put together that information for the Media Research Organization? That's the same beat-down I've witnessed here numerous times, but AD never included a multimedia presentation. Slacker.

A lot quicker and easier than documenting the irony in announcing your disgust with regurgitating what has been lapped up from your party of choice, while you regurgitate what you've lapped up from your party of choice.

Manon? Is that like "fish on!"? You meet her in a club, and at some point she yells "Man on!" to keep the other women from interfering with her reeling you in.

In a related story, U.N. bureaucrats and ministers from many less-developed nations claim the U.S. government has undue influence over how things run in the world economy, and have announced they want control of the US economy and military turned over to the UN.

Sorry, I mean I don't have any personalized plates. Florida has enough different personalized plates to supply a different one to each state of the union.

July 8, 1947: Witnesses claim a spaceship with five aliens aboard crashed on a sheep-and-cattle ranch outside Roswell, an incident they say has been covered up by the military. March 31, 1948: Al Gore was born. Nine months later.

Hey, if we're including tractors, I have a New Holland TC30.

No personalized official FL plates. I have one of those mirror-like plates on the front of the truck with the Bills logo on it. People bring it up from time to time - met a guy a couple days ago who grew up in Batavia.

We could probably build a heck of wall along the southern border cheaper. Using illegal aliens on the project would save a lot of money.

1995 Jeep Cherokee Country, the family truckster. 162,000+ miles, and still running like a champ. Haven't taken it off any good jumps like Chevy Chase did, but my wife did try to drive it into a store once. 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT, my daily commuter. 150,000+ miles, no signs of letting up. Doesn't really matter what I drive; I live in Florida now, so I'm just doing 15mph below the speed limit behind a Buick, with everyone else.

The irony setting on my multimeter doesn't go that high. I think it's fried now.

Can't imagine why the UN would want to seize control of domain registration.

SH-SH-SH-Sharapova!

Supreme Court overturns 5th Amendment to the Constitution and allows government to take personal property from one private individual and give it to another: Cease rendering garments, state law will prevail. Supreme Courst overturns questionable decision making abortion a Constitutional right, returning decision to state level: REND GARMENTS! REND GARMENTS!
