  1. How about inside a crowded elevator? I'd love to watch the security video on that one.
  2. You know, though, this makes me think of a scenario I'd really have to think hard on an answer to. In the hypothetical. It's well known that there is a huge influx of middle and east asian Muslims into Europe. Many do not harbor any idea of borrowing into western thoughts, culture or ideals. As Debbie says, it's economics. But, over the years, and we'll take France for example, they eventually work their way through the democratic process into a significant power base within the country. All the hoop de doop spewed here ignored, France has been a strategic ally for many years. They are also a sophisticated nuclear power. Although not nuke, this could happen in the Netherlands as well. This could be an interesting dilema for a future US government in terms of both foreign and defense policy, especially if current policies to sidetrack fundamental dominance in the middle east proper gets shoved under the table by any incoming administration.
  3. I think you should tell people to smoke pot before looking at this.
  4. Way to go. I learned to fly in the early 70's. Sure got expensive though. Once in a blue moon I get a chance to bumb a ride with a guy I know who has a Citabria. I really wouldn't worry much Gant. you'll do fine. Me, and I'm sure several dozen other posters who have done any real military time can tell you those things will go through a lot, in some ridiculous conditions, and still most normally stop upright somewhere at the airfield they were pointed at. There are also a lot of us who travel regular for business. We're all still here and posting. The worst thing that's going to happen will probably be the 60 year old flight attendant smelling like musk with her gay 30 year old crew buddie giving you stale pretzels and dropper sized glasses of coke.
  5. xanax. It should be in the water supply. Maybe, with some really serious luck, Gant, you'll get put into a seat next a 19 year old hottie twice as afraid to fly as you are. It will take your mind off it, trust me.
  6. Love the bedside manner, Nurse Ratchett.
  7. Will somebody, anybody PLEASE take a telephone pole and beat this damn dog off my leg?
  8. I Killed a cat today. Really didn't mean too...yes I did.
  9. See? Even YOU can be frightened on Halloween. They're coming, Tom...they're coming...
  10. My Birthday IS a holiday. Or, might be somewhere. I usually go out on Halloween, just so I don't have to be around for it. I have a stomach ache tonight, so I'm leaving the porchlight off, wetting down the welcome mat real good with salt water, and running my battery charger to it.
  11. I thought this thread was about the March of the Penguins.
  12. I have some friends with technology I could put you in touch with.
  13. You can put just about any caption below it and be right. Why not push for a corporate policy to eliminate cell phone usage in the work area? I work in a place where no active electronic devices are allowed past the door, and no one has died yet.
  14. No, I'm in a somewhat pensive and reflective mood today. I'm also not going to visit junior's spitball fight with a Ruger Blackhawk, either. He's a right to his opinions, but has never shown himself discussion or debate material. "I don't like because I don't like" is a debating point for a 3 year old.
  15. I still don't get what this has anything to do with fat black and white bear looking things.
  16. Marketing. Not everyone is as partisan or as informed as we are, and networks and the league probably corrrectly assume that much of America will go "awwwww" when they get this stuff. Did anyone here realistically expect anything else out of ESPN with New England playing a night game against Buffalo in New England? Face it, as far as National attention goes, especially after not having seen a playoff field for about 10 years, most of the nation will go: "What's Buffalo?"
  17. No, I knew that, I just thought bragging on someone intentionally trying to take someone's knees out was a bit over the top.
