  • Hey, the women hijacked the thread back ON track! That's not supposed to happen. x:o
  • Might be something to your theory, Ray. I couldn't become a cop because my eyes were too bad; couldn't be a pilot because my eyes were too bad; couldn't become a lawyer because I had too many scruples; look where I am now.
  • Hey, you guys. You're wasting all your energy trying to hijack Marc's thread when what you really should be doing is thinking up stuff for my manager's conference thread which is languishing behind all this other stuff! x;-)
  • It undoubtedly would be keeping with the Lewis & Clark Expedition theme, it would save money on my food budget for this thing, too. Unfortunately, the possums were run out of this area about three years ago by the raccoons (possums and raccoons…
  • In the Air Guard if we got uncomfortable we just got out of bed and turned up/down the air conditioner in our hotel rooms.
  • xx( Watch it, Ray.
  • Welcome back, soldier! x:-) Put away the MREs until next summer.
  • That's interesting. The only reason Edwards was the most viable candidate the dems had (at least in my opinion) is because he didn't appear to be some knee-jerk liberal, despite the union connections. Sorry to hear this.
  • I think I would have been more inclined to vote the democratic ticket if the roles were reversed. I think Edwards is much more moderate than Kerry. Guess I'm stuck voting for King George II again.
  • HRQ, I'm so glad I'm the only one left in the office - I was laughing so hard I'm sure everyone would have thought I was nuts! Thanks for the laugh! x:-)
  • Ray, you're the 'bone player. Why don't you break out your spit valve and treat us to a few bars? x;-)

  • If you stay at our hotel in Newport I'll make sure you get the Forum Member's Special rate - for West Coasters only. x;-)
  • "Definitely needed after all the serious threads of late." Serious threads? What serious threads, I don't see any? :oo It is a very nice sentiment, Leslie. x:-) Happy 4th.
  • Careful, Leslie. PR&R got started here in Portland. Some Oregon might rub off on you! Matter of fact, I think they were here last weekend in concert along with Herman's Hermits and Chad and Jeremy. Enjoy the show anyway. I'll have a draug…
  • Ah, yes. Dark Shadows. Barnabas Collins proved that not all blood-sucking creatures are lawyers. x;-)
  • Not Cream, Marc. Iron Butterfly.
  • Yeah! Next thing you know those justices will rule that "battlefield detainees" are entitled to counsel! Can't trust them liberals! x:o
  • How 'bout that? And this from a "conservative" Supreme Court packed during the Reagan years, huh? x;-)
  • C'mon now, fess up people... How many of you actually looked for an Invis-Lock key on your keyboards? x;-)
  • This is fun!x:D Actually, my alter-ego posted a pacifist-liberal commie-pinko diatribe up there. Unfortunately, he inadvertently hit the "Invisi-Lock" key on my computer, so it printed in invisible type.
  • Well, it was Slick Willy, but that's neither here nor there... and it wasn't Da Nang. It was Beijing. x;-)
  • Indirectly, we are making use of the resources. Consider the lucrative contracts to Halliburton, for example. We are not going to pay Halliburton millions to rebuild the infrastructure over there and not expect payment from the Iraqis eventually. …
  • I didn't really mean to imply that we're exploiting Iraq's oil. I was using the oil issue as an illustration that the US always acts in its own self-interest. For example, if Iraq didn't have the resources it has, we might have been less inclined …
  • Good idea. We could confiscate their drug money while we're at it and STILL have good coffee! x;-)
  • Mwild, you missed the primary qualifier for US intervention: Which of the countries involved have rich natural resources we can exploit?
  • The more things go south in Iraq, the more inclined I am to feel (along with 52% of Americans) that the cost of this adventure is just too high. Re the insurgencies I think we have no one to blame but ourselves. I feel it's pretty arrogant of us t…
  • At some point, these terrorists will have to understand that the beheadings are not having the desired effect. At least I would hope so. However, all it would take would be for one country to cave in to their demands in order to save one of its ci…
  • I've never seen a link to the website publicized in the media, but I understand that Al-Qaeda has a website on which they post these things. Might also check out the Al-Jazeera website (I'm sure they have one).
  • In my opinion, the movie is a much-underrated classic. x:-)
  • Whenever I hear the phrase "blue moon" I don't think of Kentucky - I think of the movie, "An American Werewolf in London."
