Wow ... a "rumor" thread that SKOOBY didn't start ... oh wait ... this one is credible ... never mind, that explains it.

How cool is that! Awesome choice ... glad I'll be there!

Of Mice and Men

Hell, he rarely ever practices during the season, but posts sick numbers on game day ...

I'm one of those dumb/happy owners who usually drafts him ... sick numbers for the 13 games he plays and I love seeing his name on the injury report EVERY week and trying to guess if he will play.

We should all just relax ... I remember a few years ago that Mike Williams had some unexplained absences ... and everything worked out just fine there ... relax ...

He should get in line ... lol

We're Bills fans ... that's not how we do things around here. We panic if our breakfast cereal doesn't snap, crackle and pop loud enough

That reminds me ... did anybody see that Hitler video? I don't think I recall anybody posting any threads about it

Doh! I just realized that I sounded like Skooby ... maybe I should start a new thread with my obvious observation.

That is a very mean thing to say, and I resent it. Sincerely, A Box of Rocks

No ... That's Mike Vick's new profession ...

This doesn't sound good ...

Yeah ... career change ... he's considering becoming an NFL quarterback.

We don't care where they practice ... just win baby. They can practice in a phone booth for all I care ... just win baby. It's more of an issue come winter when we practice all week indoors then come out and suck $ass outside in the cold on sunday. Is there a correlation ... I don't know since we suck $ss alot ... but it gives us something to B word about, so it's all good.

Isn't he afraid that someone might get a sunburn or nasty mosquito bite?!? I guess Dickie-poo is just throwing caution to the wind. I guess next he'll try hot sauce on his wings (mild of course)!

Sounds like an electrical malfunction, possibly from a lightning strike. Doesn't sound good that they'll find any survivors.

Let Skooby use a septic pencil ... you might want to try a styptic pencil.

I cut myself shaving today, does that count?

Yeah, but Skooby is ... see where you rate beerball?!?

This is why I couldn't be a cop. I would've taken the axe, chopped his arm off, then beat him to death with it.

Let's pay our respects to family and friends who have died defending this nation: Percy Seavey 2nd Cousin Pacific Theatre - WWII

No thank you ... I always love your avatars, and today is no different

Don't forget to take a few moments this weekend to reflect on our honored dead, though whose sacrifices our freedom has been secured ... And each man stand with his face in the light of his own drawn sword. Ready to do what a hero can. Elizabeth Barrett Browning Four things support the world: the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the good, and the valor of the brave. Muhammad Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened. Billy Graham The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it. Thucydides A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. Joseph Campbell True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost. Arthur Ashe Heroism is latent in every human soul - However humble or unknown, they (the veterans) have renounced what are accounted pleasures and cheerfully undertaken all the self-denials - privations, toils, dangers, sufferings, sicknesses, mutilations, life-long hurts and losses, death itself - for some great good, dimly seen but dearly held. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain True bravery is shown by performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before all the world. François de la Rochefoucauld We must be prepared to make heroic sacrifices for the cause of peace that we make ungrudgingly for the cause of war. There is no task that is more important or closer to my heart. Albert Einstein It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle. Norman Schwarzkopf Valor is a gift. Those having it never know for sure whether they have it till the test comes. And those having it in one test never know for sure if they will have it when the next test comes. Napoleon Bonaparte On thy grave the rain shall fall from the eyes of a mighty nation! Thomas William Parsons Although no sculptured marble should rise to their memory, nor engraved stone bear record of their deeds, yet will their remembrance be as lasting as the land they honored. Daniel Webster With the tears a Land hath shed. Their graves should ever be green. Thomas Bailey Aldrich Are they dead that yet speak louder than we can speak, and a more universal language? Are they dead that yet act? Are they dead that yet move upon society and inspire the people with nobler motives and more heroic patriotism? Henry Ward Beecher Green sods are all their monuments; and yet it tells a nobler history than pillared piles, or the eternal pyramids. James Gates Percival Is't death to fall for Freedom's right? He's dead alone who lacks her light! Thomas Campbell For love of country they accepted death... James A. Garfield They fell, but o'er their glorious grave floats free the banner of the cause they died to save. Francis Marion Crawford Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead! There's none of these so lonely and poor of old, But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold. Rupert Brooke The brave die never, though they sleep in dust: Their courage nerves a thousand living men. Minot J. Savage The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example. ~Benjamin Disraeli And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. Lee Greenwood They are dead; but they live in each Patriot's breast, And their names are engraven on honor's bright crest. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Peace to each manly soul that sleepeth; Rest to each faithful eye that weepeth... Thomas Moore But the freedom that they fought for, and the country grand they wrought for, Is their monument to-day, and for aye. Thomas Dunn English And they who for their country die shall fill an honored grave, for glory lights the soldier's tomb, and beauty weeps the brave. Joseph Drake Perform, then, this one act of remembrance before this Day passes - Remember there is an army of defense and advance that never dies and never surrenders, but is increasingly recruited from the eternal sources of the American spirit and from the generations of American youth. W.J. Cameron How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, By all their country's wishes blest! When Spring, with dewy fingers cold, Returns to deck their hallow'd mould, She there shall dress a sweeter sod Than Fancy's feet have ever trod. By fairy hands their knell is rung, There Honour comes, a pilgrim gray, To bless the turf that wraps their clay; And Freedom shall awhile repair, To dwell, a weeping hermit, there. William Collins The patriot's blood is the seed of Freedom's tree. Thomas Campbell We who are left how shall we look again Happily on the sun or feel the rain Without remembering how they who went Ungrudgingly and spent Their lives for us loved, too, the sun and rain? Wilfred Wilson Gibson Cover them over with beautiful flowers, Deck them with garlands, those brothers of ours, Lying so silent by night and by day Sleeping the years of their manhood away. Give them the meed they have won in the past; Give them the honors their future forcast; Give them the chaplets they won in the strife; Give them the laurels they lost with their life. Will Carleton All we have of freedom, all we use or know - This our fathers bought for us long and long ago. Rudyard Kipling, The Old Issue, 1899 Our battle-fields, safe in the keeping Of Nature's kind, fostering care, Are blooming, - our heroes are sleeping, - And peace broods perennial there. John H. Jewett The dead soldier's silence sings our national anthem. Aaron Kilbourn Our cheer goes back to them, the valiant dead! Laurels and roses on their graves to-day, Lilies and laurels over them we lay, And violets o'er each unforgotten head. Richard Hovey But fame is theirs - and future days On pillar'd brass shall tell their praise; Shall tell - when cold neglect is dead - "These for their country fought and bled." Philip Freneau Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations, that we have forgotten, as a people, the cost of a free and undivided Republic. John A. Logan The story of America's quest for freedom is inscribed on her history in the blood of her patriots. Randy Vader Spirit, that made those heroes dare To die, and leave their children free, Bid Time and Nature gently spare The shaft we raise to them and thee. Ralph Waldo Emerson Alas, how can we help but mourn When hero bosoms yield their breath! A century itself may bear But once the flower of such a death. S. Weir Mitchell These martyrs of patriotism gave their lives for an idea. Schuyler Colfax They saw their injured country's woe; The flaming town, the wasted field; Then rushed to meet the insulting foe; They took the spear, - but left the shield.

John Randolph Thompason Knights of the spirit; warriors in the cause Of justice absolute 'twixt man and man. Richard Watson Gilder Fold him in his country's stars. Roll the drum and fire the volley! What to him are all our wars, What but death bemocking folly? George Henry Boker The hero dead cannot expire: The dead still play their part.
