My parents were never really big on wishing people a Merry Christmas, so it would be novel to hear it from them. Kinda wish it could be my former Southern Belle from Alabama, but that ain't happening, either. Guess I'll have to settle for, um... l…

Snapshot on the issue: I was just speaking to one of our managers telling her that our office would be closing at noon for our Christmas lunch. It actually felt funny to say it that way, instead of holiday lunch.

HRing makes guys like me who swear by gift cards look like real pikers! Unfair! x;-)
-
I was going to be polite and not point that out, but since you opened the door... x;-)

My answers: Whatever the correct ones are. Me suffer injury to brain pan 2day. No concentrate. Run for congress instead.

"As for the 'etc' in your emergency kit, throw in a portable DVD player and a bottle of wine; in the event your rescue is long-delayed. You might as well move to the back seat, get comfortable, be occupied, and stay warm." Dang. Wish that's how I …

Jumper cables are good. A Triple-A membership is better. As for shoes, you may have to buy a few pair. Can't wear loafers with a suit, so you'll need some oxfords. Can't go wrong with wingtips, but avoid the double-soled ones - too clunky. Ah,…

Sam's advice is spot-on, Ray. Boring, but definitely sets forth the kinds of precautions one should take when hitting the road to travel across the street or across the nation. I would only add that this time of year, one should never forget emerg…

I'll trade you your bad day for my bad day, Ray. Want to go to Alabama?

One positive note in all this: Newspaper reports that production of armored Humvees is now 405 a month instead of 30 a month. x:-)

Rumsfeld wasn't prepared to adequately respond to the question because he's accustomed to softball Q&A from soldiers when he conducts these town hall type affairs. According to the AP story I read this morning, he usually gets general policy qu…

It's a little-known variant of the classic. x;-)

How about Chekov's The Seagull in Groucho glasses?

Considering it's California, he'll probably die of old age on death row before the sentence can be carried out.

"One of the other posters stated that if we don't send a message, where will it stop?????" It's already been proven (again, and again, and again) that the death penalty does not act as a deterrent. To my mind, the prospect of spending the next 40 …

Oh, geez, Don, you're right. Those figures I quoted came from that bastion of left-leaning long-haired pinko liberals - the Oregon Department of Corrections! How could I POSSIBLY have taken them at face-value just because it's what THEY SAID??? N…

HRinNH, we have a killer in prison here in Oregon (killed 2 little girls) who pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty. The best guess as to cost for upkeep was $868,000 if he lives a normal life and dies in his 70s. The cost to execute him would…

Life.

Life in prison. No one should be put to death without direct, physical evidence.

Yeah, and a VCR - for reviewing training tapes that I plan to use in my "frivolous jaunts" around the country (as Ritaanz would put it).
-
Okay, I don't ever want to hear Ritaanz carping on about how easy I've got it when Ray's got a couch in his office.... all I've got is a TV.
-
How does anyone come up with this misconception that I have a cushy job? Excuse me, now. Time to go hit the Starbucks machine we had installed in the lunchroom. x;-)
-
Ritaanz! I never knew you cared. x;-) For the record, travel is work... I just penciled out my schedule for 2005 and I will be out of the office at least two weeks per month from January through September.
-
It was tongue-in-cheek? x:o I was just getting ready to call my cousin in Saskatchewan and tell him my liberal buddies are on their way and to make up his guest room!
-
Oh, man! I was just beginning to get my groove on with my Canadian heritage, eh? x;-)

...and in keeping with the spirit of the season, don't forget the pa-rum pa-pum pums.

Sorry, NG. No help here. Whenever jewelry commercials come on I flee from the room in a hurry. x;-)
-
Actually, he also looks a little like Al Franken...
-
Kinda looks like Ray... So, Sam, are you in the habit of letting strange men put their arms around you? x;-)

Margaret Morford on the left, not sure who is in the middle, and you, Sam, on the right (I can tell by the shoes). Do I get partial credit?
