  1. That would be great if we did that. Basically stopped interfering in other countries affaires. Sending tons of weapons and sending billions of dollars a year to Israel is definitely not the way to do it. You sound like a man of principles. It must be a terrible burden knowing that your tax dollars support Jewish terrorism and the war in Iraq. Have you ever considered joining the fight against both?

  2. Well, OK. You still come home safely. Nice work. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  3. read the whole story here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramadi living it was a lil different.... oh and read this first...http://www.fumento.com/military/ramadi.html and pay attention to Nice post, and shame on me for getting too wrapped up with daily life to forget the 101st. I served in 1/501st. Wish I could be there with you. Can't run very fast, but I can still shoot. Get home safely. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  4. Why not consider bear spray? I usually carry spray as well. And in the event something did happen I would try to use the spray first......I called the airline and they told me no bear spray on the plane, not even checked in. So, if I want spray, I will need to buy it when I get there. I think I will pass this time. Little chance of bears where I am going this year, but there are mountain lions.
  5. I am planning a 12 day backcountry trip in southern Utah the first two weeks of October, and I will not be armed....this is the first time I have ever been in the backcountry without a weapon and I am not happy about it........I guess my last thoughts whenever that mountain lion/or other is about to pounce on me will be....ain't this some shit! Why not consider bear spray? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  6. Mohamed Ali Mr. Clay could have served like Arthur Ashe: away from combat. He could have been a real morale booster to the troops, but he thought otherwise. Too bad. He could have, but then he would have been enabling an immoral war instead of opposing it. That's right. Take it out on the troops. You "sunshine patriots" have been around from G. Washington's war, Lincoln's war, Truman's war etc., etc. Thankfully you are a minority. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  7. Mohamed Ali Mr. Clay could have served like Arthur Ashe: away from combat. He could have been a real morale booster to the troops, but he thought otherwise. Too bad. The name is Ali, and he did serve. He served his beliefs. With as much or more courage and conviction as anyone who served in Viet Nam. He surely could have gone the Elvis route, but he put his money where his mouth was. A true patriot, and I'm sure you'll never get it Good day Nope. Clay's actions did not measure up to that of the young black soldiers I had the privilege of serving with. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  8. "The program offers early release from prison." Holy shit that sounds like former Gov Mike Huckabee's early release for bad guys who find Jesus in an Arkansas prison. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

  10. And now as a lame duck, he and can pick out curtains for the presidential library. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  11. Why do the rules allow for anonymous posters? Is it for people with financial ties that do not want to be identified with their beliefs? Just guessing. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  12. Excellent reading. So long Larry. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  13. Do it at night and you could be a UFO. You'd haver to time it just right - or have a remote - cuz that chair is going to rise pretty fast as you dismount. shoot a few balloons to start a decent and have a long long static line (to explode the balloons). The remote would be safer. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

  15. -That you might want to rethink location if you're gonna repeat idiocy...right under Bravo airspace is not the brightest idea. ...and you might want a BASE rig as the guy was just lucky as hell his lawn chair didn't tip forward at 500 feet. Yeah i agree I don't think the first guy put a whole lot of fore thought into his first flight but this guy on the link i posted seems to have gotten it dialed in. I was thinking of a harness under your rig and a cut away system after you reach altitude. Carry some sand bags so you don't have to pop all of them before cutting away; just enough so you won't have loose balloons way up in Class A airspace. bee bee pistol/hook knife/beer
  16. Albanians are naming their kids Bill and Hillary according to the news yesterday and they joked about the new kids: George and Laura. Hard to imagine Muslims doing this, but it's a wacky world. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  17. I got this off avweb.com this morning. If I remember right there might have been some beer involved and he popped the balloons with a bb gun.........[url]"On July 2 it will be 25 years since Larry Walters hooked weather balloons to a lawn chair and took his epic flight over Southern California. Walters, then 33, got to 16,000 feet, alarming airliner crews and air traffic controllers, before popping a few balloons to descend. He was rescued dangling from electric wires in Long Beach".

  18. Congrats, I know your parents are happy. My youngest girl just received her BS in nursing. Best of luck. Edited: I took the quickest way out of school with a BA. Of course she is smarter than me. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  19. Last night on the National Geographic channel, a young man kayaking off Australia had a great white circling him. When he cut his line to release what was left of his catch, he cut his leg. He did make it to shore only after the shark got very personal with him more than once. At one point the shark came up on the back of the kayak swamping it. What a story.

  20. Heilgendamm sounds like the name of a beer. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  21. It's the faces that are so personal and it took me back to June 2, 1968, the day my platoon sergeant was killed up in I Corps my first tour. He had saved the life of a squad leader the day before when he pinched off an artery the medic could not get to. Now it's your turn. Wish I could be with you.

  22. I hope to use this truck mainly in the local area and not too many excursions once I get it there. When I pass or go up a steep hill in the 97 Subaru, I turn off the air conditioner for a little micro horse power. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  23. That is a perfect description. Got to brag: we got some good looking turtles roaming around in Arkansas, but it might be illegal to take them. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  24. Would that help gas mileage? I would think the air intake would. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  25. I saw more turtles (box type; not water. tarpin?) crossing the roads in the last month than I can remember. Must be mating season. I stopped and assisted a couple across the road. My granddaughter really got a charge out of that. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
