Ghost of BiB

How many times can you say that about a place kicker? We might not like the Pats, but the boy was damn good. One of the few players on the team that didn't have to depend on Walt Coleman to make his game.

I do good work.

Oh, I agree Promo. Shoulda, woulda, coulda. But, yeah you're right. Your reputation preceeds you and like I said, I'm tired of ___ is bad. I don't (and can't) keep you from saying anything, and I've never pre-empted you before. Neither would I want to. So "saying anything" is unwarranted. And you could have put the "reacting to the calamity" statement up front to show a lack of the bias you have demonstrated before. That said, everything looks bad in hindsight. Maybe some things are just fate? We can pick virtually any direction changing moment in history, and find plenty of mistakes. Now, the whole damn world has gotten so complicated that there are probably going to be even more mistakes. The events of 9/11 shocked a lot of people out of their complacence and apathy. A lot got changed, probably too quickly. Now, people are already becoming complacent in some of the new systems. Sadly, that's the nature of the federal government. The ideas behind creating new agencies, sharing intelligence, proactive foreign policy, etc. may be nice - but once a new department gets formed, government goes back to being itself and all the happy little workers nudge each other for their space in the new kingdom, and things become routine again. Once the bad guys figure we have settled into a nice new routine, they will pull their next major stunt. I think there are a few people who think deeply enough to see that as I know things are going on to disrupt things at their source. A few years from now? I don't know. Shake the little globe, with the snowman in it. The plastic snow drifts down, but always ends up on the bottom, eventually. Things usually find their center of gravity. Sometimes it takes a few years for the snow to settle.

Sushi for me!

And look at the venom filled hate fest over Condi Rice. What do you think now, gang?

No my Dear, it would be strong drinks with an umbrella in them with the rainforest to my back and the Pacific to my front. Might even have to twist one or two living down that way.

Should this be true, not much longer. Wanna help hijack threads?

I have a great scratch made corned beef recipe. It's Jewish, I think.

I wish someone would give me a signing bonus. One and a half mil, and it's off to Costa Rica. Football? What's football?

Well, someone's ten year old might be reading PPP. I know some people let them post here.

Ask Heidi Fleiss? Oh, what were we talking about again? Yup, I'd do her.

And this is a good thing?

Somehow, I've ended up becoming a Losman supporter through this thing. I could give a rats ass about Losman. I am though, a fan of rational thought.

Great move for an outside stadium northeast kicker who's game might be slipping just a tad. But, I'll bet he didn't come cheap.

Quit talking sense. You ruin the mood.

Adam in a dome? He's going to be like a kid in a candy store.

I got that. I thought it was a pasta course every day. I've seen Goodfellas. No different than growing up Polish with that potato and cabbage fixation. Old country cooking = cheap food. Not that it isn't delicious. But most of our European ancestors didn't come here because stuff was going well in Europe, they came here because they were poor.

Overall, oil and oil people run the world. But, they didn't have anything to do with the subject at hand, other than making the ME a critical region. Both sides of the "argument" should be willing to stipulate as fact that no one would give a rats ass about the place (and a few others) if it weren't for the black stuff in the ground.

Couple of Starship Troopers if I may say.

Pasta twice a week?

She has other things going for her. As for gas prices, I suppose it could get worked in that we killed 3,000 of our own people so the oil companies could make greater profits, or something.

Oh, too hard.

I took yellow caution tape, like from a construction site and wrapped my handles with it, covered it with a layer of clear packing tape so it would stay. Everyone's bags look the same, makes them easier to grab. I leave a business card inside the bag, with work info. Just a suggestion, don't use personal info like address and phone number in the luggage.

What does this have to do with anything?

And people wonder why kids are getting fat? Super size me.
