  • Wasn't the movie titled, "I Was A Teenage Werewolf?" But you're right. I remember reading a review of that movie in the magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland when I was a kid. x;-)
  • We encourage our ee's to get flu shots (they've covered with $0 copay under our insurance), but don't mandate it. The shot itself is covered, but the ee must foot the $15 copay for the office visit.
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-27-05 AT 12:28PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Glad you said it, Gillian. I was just about to say something even though I'm still smarting from the spanking they gave the Ducks last Saturday! Guess the SEC do…

  • I guess my real point was that you can take any administration - Democrat or Republican - and spin its accomplishments in your memory to reflect the best and conveniently forget the worst. For example, I think that Richard Nixon was the greatest fo…
  • "Those 8 years are starting to look like a golden age, sex scandal or no sex scandal. The economy was booming, jobs were being created, the government had cash, gas was cheap, even the airlines were making money, and we didn't have our Army tied up …
  • Didn't know you were left of center. I always thought you veered to the right, Ray.
  • Meter maid is pejorative. I think the PC term is parking enforcement officer. x;-)
  • Only thing that could have made it better, Don, was if it was a game between Miss. State and University of Oregon, right? Go Ducks! x;-)
  • 50 bucks. And it's only 8-11 am, so no baked chicken, I'm guessing.
  • Spencer's Gifts (if you have one in your area) has a hilarious novelty we got for my boss when he turned 50. It's a cane with a "slow moving vehicle" sign attached and a bicycle horn.
  • Considering the fact he gives so freely of his money and asks for nothing in return, I would classify him as neither democrat nor republican - he's a saint. x:-)
  • I am so sick and tired of the Monday morning quarterbacking from all corners on this matter. Plenty of time for fingerpointing later, let's get the situation stabilized first. And I am getting sooooooooo sick and tired of seeing Jesse Jackson, Sea…
  • Finger-pointing aside, the magnitude of this tragedy was brought home to all of us here at Corporate in Portland, Oregon from an e-mail from our General Manager at our hotel near Birmingham, Alabama. We have been a large contingent of displaced peo…
  • I assume Air America doesn't refer to the commonly used nickname for the CIA's covert air transport service? What in the heck is Air America?
  • Slogan, do you really mean to gloss over the drubbing Ted Kennedy took at the hands of the so-called "liberal" media after Chappaquiddick? They crucified him! Have you forgotten about that?
  • Ideally that would be great. Unfortunately, you've got a four-star on TV the other day saying that to stay until they were self-governing could mean a force level of 100K troops per year for the next four years. I don't know if he was giving the p…
  • ...and Geno speaking as he did is what makes this country great. If it were not for differences of opinion - if all of us were required to adopt a lockstep Party mentality, we would be no different from the old Soviet Union. When you consider that…
  • I saw the tape of the comment. Seemed pretty unequivocal to me - don't see how it could be misinterpreted. Or, maybe what he really wanted to say is that the President of Venezuela should go sit in a corner and have a time out. Unfortunately, i…
  • Great post, Zen. I especially liked it when you quoted the lyrics to The Byrds' biggest hit. (I know, I know... it's Ecclesiastes). x;-)
  • A man of God advocating murder. Hmmm... the Allah of the Muslim extremists must be smiling over the press this little tidbit is getting.
  • As I said in an earlier post on another thread, the only difference I can see between Iraq and Vietnam is geography. I don't feel we will lose as many troops in Iraq as we did in Vietnam (58,000) simply because of technology. We can fight from a m…
  • "Those who would trade freedom for security shall have neither." Don't know who said it, but I think it's pretty profound.
    in ACLU Comment by Parabeagle August 2005
  • One of the common misconceptions about the ACLU is that they are just a buncha liberals. I changed my view of them when they defended the KKK's right to march in Skokie, IL despite all the heat they took for it. Hopefully, they'll see fit to take …

  • Oh, great! Now I've got Working in a Coal Mine running through my head!!! Thanks! x;-) Although my favorite of all these is Tobacco Road.
  • Just nothing interesting to say, I guess. x;-)
  • One of our people was considering a hybrid but decided against it. Apparently, you have to eventually replace the batteries at a cost of a few thousand dollars every x-number of miles. He calculated that he'd be better off with a Toyota Corolla ge…
  • Au contraire, mon ami! Coors original (not Coors Lite) is 5.0% - at least here in Orygun. x:-)
  • Safety, why on earth would you voluntarily pay $20 for a case of inferior Icehouse when any decent supermarket (at least out here in Orygun) will sell you a case of Coors for $13 and change? x:-) Now, if I could just get them to lower the price of …
  • Gee, thanks.... I was craving Mexican food for dinner tonight, but now I think I'll pass. x:P
  • I respectfully disagree, NG. We labored under the misconception that we were wanted in South Vietnam, too. I see very little difference between Iraq and Vietnam other than geography. Afghanistan was our only legitimate call and we should have con…
