Some old jokes just get old !

Pound Wise & Penny Foolish ? http://www.suntimes.com/output/novak/cst-edt-novak05.html I've never been on the receiving end of the big guns - but tales told of "no joy" at impact point Here's some history - read down to Korea & Vietnam http://navysite.de/bb/bb62.htm The technology is time proven - plus add into today's UAV's - a spotter's dream. Plus the big "tubs" hold a lot of cruise missles

I'd go for the just give-it-to-them but there far fewer kool-aid drinkers back then

No one knows if he's dead or not (except him). Keep picking them off !

The Pakistani military worries about India (which has a defined) border much more than they care about which local warlord owns that fuc*ing mountian/valley at the end of the world. Seeing as Pakistan doesn't get all (or any) news from CNN/BBC etc. - the locals in said lost acres of probably don't care as long as there is no shrapnel falling on them and killing their livestock. Western standards don't apply in other lands Pakistan & India (as a sub-continent) are rapidly growing economically but the ingrained culture doesn't always keep up. And - One more bad guy is dead - what's the down side ? Arrest & Trial ?

SDS said I can have this one (if I ever earn an intern) http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=35838

Please post somewhere else - the Sabres play 40+ games most of which are meaningless until about February and the UB Bulls (Class of 76) get the support they deserve The Bills play 8 games a season that everyone there cares about !

Now - who's going to complain that he didn't have his fair day in court ? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051204/ap_on_...zkxBHNlYwN0bQ-- Why didn't those Marines drop a gernade in Saddam's hidey-hole ? There is a point in the world situation where bad people just have to go away - forever

I concur - there are so many "big" money coaches available - sometimes living on their reputation The Bills need a young go getter - strike two so far Discuss Tom D. as you wish

I've been there three times this season and it is always busy - even without the Bears' fans. It's somewhat annoying having two games on. No food is a bummer but they have been selling slices at halftime. It's still worth the trip.

If you bought the extended warranty - the bird in the sky would be covered

Hogs at the trough - it will never change At least in CA there is the initiative process (flawed as it is) - but it offers a ray of hope NYS - Shut Up & Pay - I'll be back there in a second - Bill's Country !

Nice how the comments include "waterfront" and "casino" - like those two areas of interest would make a difference. I'm surprised "Peace Bridge (new) wasn't included. New York's problems are so ingrained they make California (my recent domicile) look like a paradise. After a 14 month period of posturing - sales tax is going up anyway - why bother ? My father always said, "Who'd want to be Mayor of this City? " when he lived in it. I'll still move back in a minute when my wife gives me the OK - pretty much still the best place on Earth - politics are the same everywhere.

Despite the humor of the Pythonesque sketches of cow flinging - one tactic of siege warfare was to literally hurl diseased animal corpses into besieged areas to spread whatever basic, bad bacterium available into an already closed, unsanitary enviorment. In the midst of David McCullough's "1776" about events surrounding the Revolutionary War siege of Boston - "On November 25, the British sent several boatloads of the ragged poor of Boston, some 300 men, women and children acroos the Back Bay depositing them on the shore near Cambridge for the rebels to deal with. They were a heart rendering sight. Many were sick and dying, "the whole in a most miserable and piteouis condition," wrote (George) Washington. According to one explanantion, General Howe was making room for the reinforcements expected to arrive any time. But it was also said that the numbers of the sick had been sent "with the design of spreading smallpox through this country and camp," an accusation that Washington refused to belive. But when another 150 desperate people were dispatched from Boston, as smallpox continued unabated there, Washington described the disease as a, "weapon of defense they are using against us." Only the names and faces change - The victors write the history WP = Greek Fire

Obviously a clear thinker -

then they played the game and the Bills didn't show up. Met lots of people from back home including some old friends who I never thought would make the trip. Hammered and his wife were there, Pinto Kenny, The Dean, The South Buffalo Drinking team plus all the locals and SOCAL folk plus a huge chunk of the Losman family (they're from Venice, Ca about 80 miles north in LA.) The food and drink were great - I didn't go to any of the night parties but everyone seemd to be happy and the weather was picture perfect. Then they played the game ! See you all December 11th

So the old bastard's birthday caused the Bills to play so bad yesterday ! Thanks a lot - Brian ! (and Happy Birthday)

The show starts at Blind Melons at 3 PM Saturday - a pub crawl in the neighborhood and then - (if you have a ticket) a night at the "Melons" - closed party. If not there are plenty of bars in walking distance or get over to the Gaslamp and do the "ritzy" night club act. I saw the tailgate site - parking area J2 - virtually under the elevated San Diego subway stop. If you're driving - get there early - the lots will be full (or hard to get around - people park funny in SD) by 10 AM. The tailgate site is also spitting distance to the "Bud Zone" where they have food and amusements plus large screen TV's showing the early games. If you don't have a SDBBC tailgate ticket - forget getting in - sold out. Fortunately there are lots of options and you can buy libation on Sunday AM in Calif. The word of the day for Sunday is "SUNSHINE" - lots of it. There is no shade in the parking lots - hats, loose (covering) clothing, sunscreen and hydration are the order of the day. AM tempertures will go from 60 - 80 degrees. Look forward to seeing any and all - the "Hardhat" will be up high ! Location of Blind Melons (858-483-7844) - 710 Garnet Ave. Garnet/Grand Ave has its' own exit off the I-5 - head west towards the ocean (all the way). There is limted street parking with a 2 hr. limit and the cops mean it! They chalk tires all day. There are several pay lots within two blocks - 5-6 bucks for all day - beats a parking ticket. http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searc...a&zipcode=92109

If you're going to mention cheerleaders - at least - a link ? http://www.westsidenews.net/OldSite/westsi...thedynamic.html

Biloxi, MS got hosed too - maybe a good thing too (the Saints)

RJ gets a smaller pension (if any) I never understood the backlash against Todd - he's lasted - where are so many others ?

Yep - Still Stuck Here - Coming To The Game ? I hit the MT at Hertel & Delaware first day I get home (used to be an Arby's) BTW - They are opening an Arby's nearby soon - people can't seem to wait We ate there when we were poor students - 2 / 99cents

Of course, real Mexican food (CA. style) ain't bad either http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20051104/1020686.asp

The NFL Draft has become a giant, media event where the over-anaylization has hidden the real process - teams have their criterias (unless you are the Vikings) There are probably as many "busts" as "hidden gems" Perception is everything - reality sucks (sometimes)
