  1. There's good publicity and BAD publicity. Bad does not sell!
  2. Are these the people who didn't make the cut with the Political Polls?
  3. He'll need so many jobs to keep up with the food bills that there won't be any time to cook.
  4. They thought he may be THE BIG EASY!
  5. Not unless I'm home!
  6. Too bad Rozel is gone. He would NEVER stand for all this foolishness.
  7. Great airplane to fly on. When it was designed in the 60's, travel forecasts said that the airlines would need that large a plane to satisfy demand. By the time it came into service, it was the early 70's, there was a recession, and demand was seldom there. Then all the oil embargo crap started in 74, and fuel efficiency started to become more important. The fact that the 747-100 had a 8 hour range, with full passenger load and cargo, kept it flying long hauls. It was profitable IF it could carry decent passenger loads. The 747-400 had an added fuel tank in the tail, and that increased range from 8 to 11-12 hours. Still passenger demand often lagged the large number of seats. Boeing has a 747-800 available now. More fuel efficient and better range, but not selling too well because the airlines don't need that many seats on an airplane. Same with the A-380's. Great airplane but mostly popular with middle eastern airlines who are not in business to make money. Airbus is having a tough sell for any more A-380's. We often drive 2 hours to Dulles to avoid all the Regional jet flights.from Richmond Last trip thru Dulles was last December and there were not too many 747's on the gates then.
  8. Just me! I enjoy seeing the rest of the world. You can't eat and drink 24/7. IF there's nothing worth seeing then I'd consider another spot.
  9. Prefer someplace where I can walk safely outside the resort gate.
  10. Can you get a Diet version?
  11. Couldn't spell CAT if you spotted them the C & the A.
  12. They're still trying to get a good deal.
  13. Which tree were they all standing under?
  14. Is that the "Short School Bus??"
  15. So far, there hasn't been much said about the employee/employer obligations and relationships. I've only worked for 2 employers as an adult. One for 35 years and one for 12 years. It's been my experience that no matter my personal feelings and problems, as an employee, I am a representative of my employer. Kaepernick is an employee of the 49er's and by extension, the NFL. Unless and until he's a designated spokesperson for either, he needs support and conform to their philosophy. IF he does not want to do that, he's free to seek other employment. The guy makes 19 Mil a year. What has he done off the field to demonstrate his position?? On the field, he needs to do what his employer expects him to do, represent the team, and win games. He may have a whole lot of time, in the future, to sit or stand, as much as he wants, on his own time.
  16. Could he change OMAHA to LACKAWANNA?
  17. He's got more scar tissue in his body than Jerry has in his face.
  18. I'd point to NAFTA on this. Trucks don't have accidents "for no apparent reason." The apparent reason may be another unsafe truck from Mexico. He was hauling Haz-mat. Was it an approved truck, on an approved route? They are not normally allowed near residential areas.
  19. How many does that leave??
  20. Living in Virginia, we're stuck with ALL the Deadskins games. If you don't like Joe, you need to listen to Sonny Jurgensen on the radio.
  21. If it wasn't for the Military,and out Vets, you wouldn't be in a position to be offering an absurd opinion.
  22. Not sure if it was because of EJ being in there for so long, but.we need to complete more passes to receivers on the run. Defenses are going to key on our habit of having the receiver stop, make the catch, and then try for a few more yards. That style gets very predictable and limits our forward progress.
