  1. There is a special place in hell for the guy that wrote this chorus: And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's? She said, "I think I remember the film, And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it." And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."
  2. I don't get that either, they should ask Ray Bourque, one of the best players ever to live, he'll tell you that they they pretty much hand the things out. His playoff experience is probably equal to 3 or 4 additional regular seasons. He was in the playoffs 22 out of 24 years before he lifted it in his final game. Probably the only thing that is harder is to be an undisputed heavyweight champion, but that is only because boxing is so !@#$ed up.
  3. What kind of Pretzel Logic is that?
  4. And he totally kicked the Backstreet Boys ass when he was in N'Sync. And for a Mousketeer, he was a badass.
  5. Totally agree. Actually, it isn't even a debate.
  6. He's a very good interview.
  7. Burying the dead is a Christian work of mercy, and rightly so, I have always thought that the Marines get that better than anyone.
  8. I like Reading: George Will Pat Buchanan David Korn David Brooks Thomas Friedman Fareed Zakaria Ralph Peters and formerly Molly Ivins
  9. I have a weekend study group there. This month we are doing Alfred Kinsey and Emotional Literacy. I am hoping to get a group that agrees to bathe more regularly.
  10. If it is in Human Reproduction it is probably legit. But I was thinking the same thing.
  11. Generosity of the human spirit?
  12. There is always the law of I am rubber....
  13. They are pretty safe. Anyone with a mancard avoids that thread.
  14. Yikes. There will come a day you will look back fondly to yourself and say, how the hell did I drink that sh--.
  15. One of my old teachers had the Betty Page type pin-up on his arm. That tattoo probably created more Marines than the local recruiter.
  16. Is that where everyone keeps their mancard? Damn, I'm not taking any cards anymore, noway, nohow.
  17. That's no way to bring sexy back. Still, if you go, I need the ManCard. You were talking hypothetical, right?
  18. By the power invested in me by this board, I need to revoke your ManCard, Promo. Sorry, but if we let this go, it just looks bad you know?
  19. Oh man, the bingo went a little late last night we broke out the Twister and people were passing around the blue pills like candy........these juries are something else around here..... I have the C&D all drawn up....it's just that .......well..... we need a 26 ft. yacht, Lasix and a shitload of phenylbutazone, and some jockey silks by 6 PM, I'll explain later.....
  20. Honorable mention goes out to T.Rex for coming up with one of the best opening licks in Rock.
  21. I don't want to touch the "chickenhawk" argument, but what I do think is this, there is a troubling predilection for military intervention/solutions in this country that is in some ways indifferent to the military itself. The burden of proposed military solutions and international interventions are carried by a minority in this society - soldiers, their families, veterans, etc. that volunteer. When policy decisions are made by those that no longer have serious risk then the inventions get easier.....and Kuwait, Somalia, Kosovo, Iraq start to come in succession. It is in some ways like having a credit card with someone else's name on it. When you use it the first time maybe you have weighed the option of using it very thoughtfully, after all, it doesn't have your name on it, what am I doing here? But once you realize the bill doesn't come to you, it gets easier to use the second time, and still easier the next. Sure you rationalize, it is for moral reasons, it is for the good of others, it is the right thing to do because this is an exceptional circumstance I'm using this card, but in the end, that credit card still doesn't have your name on it. It has the name of some marine, some soldier, some airman, some sailor, somebody else. Who doesn't love the person that pays for everything?
  22. You got that right. What guy hasn't looked into their his lover's eyes and said: Rubbing sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite And the thought of rubbing you is getting so exciting.
