  1. My thought exactly. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  2. How do you know this? How do you know that the offender is a he? Calling the poster's manhood into question is getting disproportionally freaky. Maybe you just need a nap. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  3. You warned me, and I looked anyway...yuck. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  4. one word - Propaganda _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  5. So, if force is the defining factor...what amount of force defines grudge fuckin'?? _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  6. I don't think anyone can blame DZ.com, we know the net is a big privacy petri dish. I don't post all that much and I have tried to remain fairly anonymous. I have made lots-o-jumps with dz.commers and they don't know I have ever posted on here. I could be in PK's shoes right now as the "company" I work for has a very broad policy against discussing any controversial public topics in the public domain...even from my own computer. I would like to know if the snitch is outed though, even if it's only for my own note-to-self. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  7. I personally don't have a problem with it. There is something rightous about outing a whackjob like that. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  8. Dude, that is really impressive. Congrats on your success! _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  9. GRACE is my favorite word, for several reasons. I live and work in a world where I am called upon to provide an ungraceful, calculated, and precise response to the worst that humankind has to offer. So when I have the rare opportunity to extend a measure of grace to someone who deserves it (or not), I am emboldened in the process. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  10. IMO, when it comes to red wine, the Bordeaux region in France has is going on (Margaux, Medoc, Graves, Haut-Medoc, Saint Estephe, Pauillac, Saint-Julien). You will never go wrong with a bottle from the 1982, 89, 90, 95, or 2000 vintage. While France does have it's issues, ask any professional sommelier and they will tell you that France produces the finest wines on the planet. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  11. I think, for both sexes, looks will get you a date and get you laid....for a while. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  12. I too have been serving and protecting my country since before I had any gray hair, and I have never understood why those who serve, feel entitled to a seperate threshold for bitching or are sickened by those who voice their opinion of our elected officials. It's called A-m-e-r-i-c-a, and that's the way it's supposed to be. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  13. Ok, here is what you do: Everyone over the age of 30-40 (pick a number) will get benefits. Everyone under that number gets nothing, AND they have to keep contributing until everyone is off the tit. We all know SS is an untenable joke, so why continue it at all. Kill the program and tell everyone to start investing their own money. If I know the program is going to end, I'll be happy to pay a little extra to help kill it. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  14. I'm actually about to walk out the door to get some stuff at Home Depot. The first two priorities in your post are very telling and refreshingly honest. In my experience, the ability to provide a nice house and having some cash to spend seem to be a "must have" for a lot of women, but they hardly ever admit it. That's almost never a factor when a guy looks at a woman. Maybe I should look for a sugar mama, because I always end up with the "cool" chicks with no money. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  15. Dude, got to the wffc, even if only for a few days and even if you only get to do it once, it's a great experience. But even if you don't get to go for a few more years,......keep that wife of yours, she does sound awesome. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  16. I'm not a BASE guy, but I can't imagine packing for a sub 200 ft. deployment with my slider up. I know the gear is designed for it and everything, but......damn. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  17. In the South, "hun" is a true term of endearment, I have even seen some of the real old timers use it to address other men, my HS football coach used to do it....I thought it was weird though. I can't imagine winking at a girl I didn't know. That's almost as lame as asking what her sign is. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  18. Not really name brands, but I have long preferred: German cars American trucks Swiss watches everything else seems to be negotiable at this point _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  19. A friend's kid asked: 99 BMW M Coupe- "How come your car is so shiny?" 01 Dodge Ram 2500- "What happend to your truck?" _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  20. Not in an airplane. If a someone is hijacking an airplane with a gun, you kill him. If he has a knife, you kill him. No warning, no discussion, no hesitation...just shoot him. The best way to kill bad guys in an airplane is with a pistol, not a knife. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  21. Proficiency with an edged weapon is a great skill set to have, and I have trained with a Phillipino Master, but I still prefer to have a gun handy. Faced with a hijacking scenario, escalating the level of violence is exactly what you want to do (ie. kill the hijackers). I can do that alot better with a pea shooter than I can with an edged weapon, and so can most people who get paid for that kind of thing. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  22. I totally agree. SS was never intended to provide for anyone, it was only intended as a little bit of assistance. Now everybody thinks they should be able to live off of it when they are old. I would be totally willing to give up my contributions and continue to contribute if we would just scrap the whole thing. Pick an age and provide benefits for everyone beyond that age, and tell everyone else they are on their own. It's a stupid system and a huge drain on the economy. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  23. It's always a good idea to distinguish yourself in a professional setting where business suits are a dime a dozen. One way to do that is to skip the white dress shirt and go with a blue dress shirt with a white collar. Add a solid gold tie with a well tied half-winsor knot and you should make a good impression, good luck. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    Your Job

    I stole part of this from a book I read and added some things to it to come up with my own template for the perfect job. I figure if I can have most of these elements involved in my job, that's enough for me. ELEMENTS OF JOB GRATIFICATION 1. The task is challenging and requires skill. 2. You have deep, effortless involvement. 3. You get immediate feedback. 4. There is a sense of control. 5. Your sense of self vanishes. 6. There are clear goals. 7. You concentrate. 8. Time stops. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  25. I actually took two to the twins during simms training. I was already on the ground and the dude shot me in the nuts....bastard. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
