  • "As Bob Dole said today, "Three purple hearts and the man never shed blood. He used superficial wounds, one self inflicted, as a means to be rotated out of Viet Nam" " ... "Did I hear correctly that one of you feels we should leave our fate more to…
  • Clinton is another matter, and not especially relevant for purposes of this discussion. But, frankly, yes. I do think Bush's ANG service was less important than Kerry's. In the 60s and 70s, the ANG in many states was jokingly referred to as a fl…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-23-04 AT 03:22PM (CST)[/font][br][br]You just hit on one of my pet peeves, Ray. The only thing that I really hate about the Democrats are the hangers-on and fringe-fanatics who insist on showing up a…
  • Even with all the debate over the swiftboat issue, I am still undecided about who I am going to vote for. The biggest part of my logic tells me "better the devil you know" and I lean toward Bush. But then I get to thinking and, yes, I would like t…
  • Doggone it, Whatever! I was gonna say that! x;-)
  • Too bad Bush didn't see fit to denounce them a week or so ago.
  • Comparatively speaking, yes.
  • I agree. I was on active duty when McPeak was CSAF and, since he now lives in Portland, actually got to see him at the base a couple of times. I agree with your assessment - but you have to admit that when he changed the officer's uniform that was…
  • Little too much time on our hands this afternoon, HRinNH? x;-) Day before yesterday was Bad Poetry Day Tomorrow is Poet's Day September 9 is Wonderful Weirdos Day September 19 is Talk Like A Pirate Day November 19 is Have A Bad Hair Day Day
  • I was deployed to another base in the early 90s for a period of time that coincided with my birthday. I was conducting a joint investigation with the Safety Office and the staff (1 male 3 females) found out it was my birthday. They took me to lunc…
  • That's why I stopped using my Systran translation software. Got tired of Spanish-speaking ee's reading my memos and laughing until they cried. x;-)
  • ... looks more like showing off, to me. x;-) But then, I'm probably just envious because I don't speak Spanish.
  • No, and the whole thing looked pretty stupid to tell you the truth - Darva Conger was head-and-shoulders taller than Korbett, had a longer reach, and about 50 pounds on her. But that wasn't as much of a mismatch as the 7-7 basketball player again…
  • While I was cooling my heels in Alabama last week, I found myself watching TV one evening and stumbled across Celebrity Boxing. Darva Conger vs. Olga Korbett, a former Olympic gymnast. As far as I'm concerned, even though Olga is only 45 she looks…
  • "I think dogs run when they talk!" Huh? x:-/
  • Much nicer than Portland, Sonny. Only in the 70s-80s in 'Bama while it was up in the high 90s here in Portland. For once, I hated to come home. x:-) Not wanting to hijack the thread, I will contribute to the discussion - yes, you CAN have too man…
  • NM Tom, you seem to have touched a few nerves here among the Forum women... Glad it's somebody else in their crosshairs for a change. x;-)

  • It worked, but I cheated. I seldom eat chocolate more than a couple times a year. Do I get bonus points or penalty points? x;-)
  • I thought Ray did a thread about something similar to this awhile back. But I think all of this comparison of size begs the question: If you line up 5000 Forumites (that includes both paid and unpaid participants) end to end, how far would they re…
  • Actual quote as reported by ABC News. It was also reported that nobody in the Pentagon audience (mostly military brass) reacted.
  • Can you reduce all this to a recipe for the HR Hero Sandwich thread? x;-) Hope you get the job - if not, just enlist in the Army, they could use your talents in the kitchen. x;-) Welcome back!
  • Have fun, Safety. Little chilly on the OR coast this weekend (in the 60s), so Telluride might be a better bet. x:-)

  • I don't know, Leslie. Sure, he became a little more comfortable as he got into it, but I think he really needs a speech coach. Even at the end I thought he was pretty stiff.
  • Call Kerry's HQ and ask 'em. I'm sure they'll accommodate, Sonny. x:-)
  • Allegedly, tax relief for those making less than $200,000 a year (I'll believe it when I see it) - and a set of Ginsu steak knives. x;-) But more appealing than that (to me anyway) is less shoot-from-the-lip gunboat diplomacy (and before anyone sta…
  • You're a delegate? Cool! See if you can catch Dubya doing something embarassing or Cheney telling someone to, well, you know. x:-)
  • Ooooooooohhh kaaaaaay....x:-/
  • Yahoo, don't mistake his "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" voice with his "Everybody Must Get Stoned" voice - two entirely different sounds. I have heard that when he recorded Knockin' on Heaven's Door and Lay, Lady, Lay, it was after he had quit smoking…
