  1. aisle say.
  2. i hope people reading this shit are aware what a joke any comment regarding guidelines truly is. this isn't a courthouse pea-knuckle game. it is a war in progress and every move is calculated for what effect it has all up and down the line.
  3. can someone please direct me to the hillary thread?
  4. one thing this really does is illustrate the benefit of cooperation.
  5. when i was a kid many moons ago the father of one of my best friends said he would never vote for a gopper his whole life, and i thought that sounded pretty weird. by the end of watergate it didn't sound weird at all. right now it sounds pretty level-headed.
  6. you aren't suggesting the ags watered down the field are you?
  7. i got six words in and have been nodding ever since. wonder what the rest of it says.
  8. this is what he edited. under truth serum he would probably have said: *conversions, not conversation #edit and would have left leanings alone. where did you go, joe freud? it's not your wife's slip that is showing.
  9. yes, i gather it's another fell-on-knee friday. bring it on as long as it isn't my knee.
  10. if you are talking to me, yes, i do plan to jail devin for a long, long time.
  11. damn. i've been flanked.
  12. bless his heart. he'll be missed. rest the rest of ages, gentleman warrior.
  13. lady stops a man stepping out of church: is mass out? him: no. but your hat's on crooked. (presumed to be one of minnie pearl's fave jokes if some guy on late-night nashville talk show had it right.)
  14. fif, &c.
  15. i'm not going to express sorrow for you that your son is on the spectrum. some of the most amazing and inventive people who have lived have been there. i'll instead hope for your son and the rest of you that he has something of that in him. that your wife has done such a fine job with him that he can attend school and is doing well suggests to me that he may be one of the ones who is extraordinarily helpful wherever his life takes him. you may one day celebrate, in a sense, that he has had this hill to climb.
  16. Didn't he step down as Chancellor for health reasons? well, but there's a fair amount of difference between how much the university of texas needs his help and how much the nation needs his help.
  17. maybe some nice tanks?
  18. IP??? os, ip2.
  19. so, you'd say you are forty?
  20. No. No--I hate-hate Lee. He was decidedly pro-slavery. He was a traitor and a war criminal who had Union POWs shot because of the color of their skin. this. lee got the rommel treatment in more ways than one. certainly his legacy has benefited from the wrong side of history angle, but also his aura as tactical genius has a lot more air than substance. certainly he was a very capable combat officer as long as his role was defensive and he was on familiar ground with a supportive civilian population. lee was an engineer, and prior to the war he designed and oversaw construction of forts for the u.s. army. he understood defense. when pursued in familiar and helpful virginia he could quickly set a defensive posture on high ground that could bloody the nose of an aggressor. but you plop him in pennsylvania where he had to play the aggressor role, and he was a miserable flop. really it was stupid to expect otherwise. most folks here will understand without explanation if i say you suddenly take the best defensive coordinator in college football and give him the keys to the offense and expect equal results immediately you are a fool. that's what happened in pennsylvania. that shouldn't have been the problem it was, except lee began to believe his press clippings. he thought he should be unstoppable in an offensive role in unfamiliar territory. he was so determined to prove his genius label that he took astonishingly stupid chances and caused the death and ruination of many of his best men in the increasing desire to push through. it is said that general pickett -- famous for pickett's charge -- almost wouldn't speak to lee after the war. lee's reckless ruin of pickett's good men exposed his foolhardiness to all the men in his command. longstreet in particular was astounded and lee never regained his full confidence and support. now add that to goll's observation and you just have to shake your head. if you want to look for a rommel of the south, longstreet is a good place to start. if you want a rommelpot player instead, here 'tis:
  21. speaking of bob barker and depends, is he still around?
  22. ouch. little comment to while away a moment or two. moreso isn't a word. it's two words: more and so: more so. saying moreso exposes your sphincters to those who know.
  23. n-e-body got bohls' phone number? i'll buy a phone to get a quote from him. prolly headed to okc. they love him up there.
  24. AUSTIN, Texas The Austin American-Statesman is shutting down its weekly Spanish-language newspaper, Ahora Si, effective Oct. 11. It also is offering voluntary severance packages to all of the Statesman's more-than-200 employees. The newspaper management said those granted the severance packages would leave their jobs next month. The management did not say how many jobs it was cutting. Statesman publisher Susie Biehle said managers will consider staffer buyout offers according to the newspaper's continuing business and news coverage needs.
