They saw a sucker, therefore $300 And you PAID

No shit playing games only gets you less than treating them like humans. Humans that will come back for repeat business

That's nothing! I know a dozen or so 45yo guys who still live at home...some still sleep in bunk beds...and collect guns! Oh yeah...that's the life right there!Quote Hey I am 48, I live at home (my home) and I collect guns. I have even slept on Rainbo's bunk beds at the DZ. I have a surveying and engineering background, and I obviously know nothing about women Don't be stereotyping

Thanks Max, now don't forget you have friends in low places. Thanks for serving and being an inspiration to many others. You will never have to hang your head low. Take care brother and do not be a stranger.

Or if he smacked your ass like you were winning the Kentucky Derby?

It's a husk. Nothing there but some chemicals. Most of my friends could not be viewable remains anyways. Sometimes family insists and that has a very profound and life ruining effect.

Exactly as I had stated before the election. Obama benefitted from the racist vote. Of course that was not whites being racist against blacks either.

The hit man from No Country for Old Men. I can think of a few others.

ew Surrrrrrrrreeeeeeee That is what they all say.. in public.

I read words and lips. Body language as well.

*Excellent*!! I work for L'Oreal, and when we launched (yet another) waterproof mascara, I almost peed myself when I heard our divisional manager boast that now we could all enjoy water-sports without fear of runny mascara!!! It literally *hurt* not to laugh out loud!! But I didn't. Hey my ex gf's swear by that stuff, no matter how many times it got shot in their eyes at a party, their mascara never ran.

I thought you asked him how big it was...

You probably just had a Freudian slip and typed subpenis

Yep, I am just currently unable to ride. '92 GSXR 1100N Stage III, Yosh cams, RK chain, K&N, a few other things. I could ride but it might cause me more injury at this point. This week I hope to rip my bike apart and replace the entire wiring harness. I have a few Rubbermaid bins standing by for all the parts that have to come off. I will even be replacing my ignition and maybe polishing the frame out. Should work really nice and look great. I was contemplating polishing the outer portions of my rims and leaving the inner portion stock blue. I also need to take off my exhaust and either find a Hindle front pipe or fabricate a new exhaust from stainless steel. It needs to breath a little more, but I don't want it too noisy. Sometimes I like it quiet when riding in the country.

Maybe I an just a stickler, but I want every damn one who went MIA, KIA and other status to be returned home even if it is just a damned tooth. They deserve that much. We have so many missing it is just a disgrace, if it were a missing politician there would be no stone unturned. Guys like Bob Holler helped to return the servicemen to their home whenever it was possible, I hope more people continue on in that effort.

Warship christened at Maine shipyard for NY Marine Streamers fly during the christening ceremony of the USS Jason Dunham, an Arleigh-Burke Cl... By DAVID SHARP, AP Sat Aug 1, 8:21 PM EDT In a solemn ceremony punctuated by talk of courage, service and sacrifice, the mother of a Marine corporal on Saturday christened a warship honoring her son, who died after covering an exploding grenade to protect his comrades in Iraq. After composing herself and taking a deep breath, Deb Dunham smashed a bottle of champagne over the bow of the 510-foot warship Jason Dunham, then held the bottle aloft before a cheering crowd of more than 1,500 people. She was joined by the Marines who served with her son, by her husband, Dan Dunham, and their daughter Katelyn Dunham. Two other Dunham boys also were in the audience. Retired Gen. Michael Hagee, a former Marine commandant who was with the Dunhams when their son died at Bethesda Naval Hospital days after the explosion, said Jason gave the "gift of valor." Hagee said the warship will serve as a reminder that freedom "is paid for by the men and women who wear the cloth of this nation." "They are willing to give up everything that is important: love, marriage, children, family, friends," Hagee said of the 22-year-old Marine. "I can tell you I've always stood in awe of that." At the Bath Iron Works shipyard, a special place was reserved for those who served with Dunham in Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines. Dunham's company commander, Maj. Trent Gibson, Sgt. Bill Hampton and Cpl. Kelly Miller, who were present the day Dunham died, were among them. Hampton and Miller were next to Dunham when the grenade detonated. It was them whose lives were saved because of him. They suffered burns and shrapnel wounds but recovered. Hagee said Dunham, from Scio, N.Y., seemed destined to be a Marine: He reminded the audience that Dunham's birthday was the same as that of the U.S. Marine Corps. Dunham served as squad commander on his first tour in Iraq, and he chose to extend his enlistment so he could serve the entire tour with his Marines. He vowed to bring his squad home alive, and was true to his word. They all came back. Dunham won the Medal of Honor for his actions April 14, 2004, as his squad sought to engage insurgents after a convoy was ambushed. While the squad searched vehicles, the driver of a Toyota Land Cruiser jumped out and attacked Dunham. They fell to the ground, where the fight continued. Dunham shouted: "No, no, no! Watch his hand!" as the attacker pulled out a grenade. Dunham covered the explosive with his body and his helmet as it went off. He died eight days later. Before the ceremony, Dunham's mother said it was fitting that the ship that would bear her son's name is a guided-missile destroyer. "It's an honor Jason would really get a kick out of," she said.

Remains of pilot missing 18 years in Iraq found CLARIFYS IMAGE RELEASED BY US NAVY OCT. 11, 2002 - This image provided by the U.S. Navy Oc... By PAULINE JELINEK, AP Sun Aug 2, 11:18 AM EDT The remains of the first American lost in the Gulf War have been found in Iraq, the military said Sunday, a sorrowful resolution of a nearly two-decade old question about the fate of Navy Capt. Michael "Scott" Speicher. The Pentagon said the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology on Saturday positively identified the remains, buried in the desert and located after officials received new information from an Iraqi citizen about a crash. Speicher's disappearance has bedeviled investigators since his fighter was shot down over the Iraq desert on the first night of the 1991 war. The top Navy officer said the discovery is evidence of the military's commitment to bring its troops home. "Our Navy will never give up looking for a shipmate, regardless of how long or how difficult that search may be," said Adm. Gary Roughead, Chief of Naval Operations. The Pentagon initially declared Speicher killed. But uncertainty — and the lack of remains — led officials over the years to change his status a number of times to "missing in action" and later "missing-captured." The family Speicher left behind, from outside Jacksonville, Fla., continued to press for the military to do more to resolve the case. Family spokeswoman Cindy Laquidara said relatives learned on Saturday that Speicher's remains had been found. "The family's proud of the way the Defense Department continued on with our request" to not abandon the search, she said. "We will be bringing him home." Laquidara said the family would have another statement after being briefed by the defense officials; she did not know when that would be. More than a decade after he was shot down in a combat mission, the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 finally gave investigators the chance to search inside Iraq. That led to a number of new leads, including the discovery of what some believed were the initials "MSS" scratched into the wall of an Iraqi prison. The search also led investigators to excavate a potential grave site in Baghdad in 2005, track down Iraqis said to have information about Speicher and make numerous other inquiries in what officials say was an exhaustive search. Officials said Sunday that they got new information last month from an Iraqi citizen, prompting Marines stationed in the western province of Anbar to visit a location in the desert which was believed to be the crash site of Speicher's FA-18 Hornet. The Iraqi said he knew of two other Iraqis who recalled an American jet crashing and the remains of the pilot being buried in the desert, the Pentagon said. "One of these Iraqi citizens stated that they were present when Captain Speicher was found dead at the crash site by Bedouins and his remains buried," the Defense Department said in a statement. The military recovered bones and multiple skeletal fragments and Speicher was positively identified by matching a jawbone and dental records, said Rear Adm. Frank Thorp. He said the Iraqis told investigators that the Bedouins had buried Speicher. It was unclear whether the military had information on how soon Speicher died after the crash. Some had said they believed Speicher ejected from the plane and was captured by Iraqi forces, and the initials were seen as a potential clue he might have survived. There also were reports of sightings. While dental records have confirmed the remains to be those of Speicher, the pathology institute in Rockville, Md., is running DNA tests on the remains recovered and comparing them with DNA reference samples previously provided by family members. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Captain Speicher's family for the ultimate sacrifice he made for his country," Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said in the Pentagon statement. "I am also extremely grateful to all those who have worked so tirelessly over the last 18 years to bring Captain Speicher home." Speicher was shot down over west-central Iraq on Jan. 17, 1991. Hours after his plane went down, the Pentagon publicly declared him killed. Then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney went on television and announced the U.S. had suffered its first casualty of the war. But 10 years later, the Navy changed his status to missing in action, citing an absence of evidence that Speicher had died. In October 2002, the Navy switched his status to "missing/captured," although it has never said what evidence it had that he ever was in captivity. A review in 2005 was conducted with information gleaned after Baghdad fell. The review board recommended then that the Pentagon work with the State Department, the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and the Iraqi government to "increase the level of attention and effort inside Iraq" to resolve the question of Speicher's fate. Last year, then Navy Secretary Donald Winter ordered yet another review of the case after receiving a report from the Defense Intelligence Agency, which tracks prisoners of war and service members missing in action. Many in the military believed for years that Speicher had not survived the crash or for long after. Intelligence had never found evidence he was alive, and some officials felt last year that all leads had been exhausted and Speicher would finally be declared killed. But after the latest review, Winter said Speicher would remain classified as missing, despite Winter's strong reservations about the pilot's status and cited "compelling" evidence that he was dead. Announcing his decision, Winter criticized the board's recommendation to leave Speicher's status unchanged, saying the review board based its conclusions on the belief that Speicher was alive after ejecting from his plane. The board "chose to ignore" the lack of any parachute sighting, emergency beacon signal or radio communication, Winter said. Speicher's family — including two college-age children who were toddlers when Speicher disappeared — believed more evidence would surface as Iraq becomes more stable. One of Speicher's high school classmates who helped form the group "Friends Working to Free Scott Speicher" said Sunday his biggest fear was that Speicher had been taken alive and tortured. "This whole thing has been so surreal for all of the people who have known Scott," said Nels Jensen, 52, who now lives in Arkansas. Jensen said the group was frustrated the military didn't initially send a search and rescue team after the crash, and then grew more perplexed as reports of his possible capture emerged. "Never again will our military likely not send out a search and rescue party for a downed serviceman," Jensen said. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., had pressed several years ago to get the military to renew a search for Speicher and he once visited the Baghdad prison cell where it was thought Speicher may have carved his initials in the wall. "We all clung to the slim hope that Scott was still alive and would one day come home to his family," Nelson said Sunday. The new informant told officials in Iraq of another possible location of Speicher's grave a site very near where his shattered airplane was found in 1993, Nelson said in a statement Sunday. ___ Associated Press writers Ron Word in Jacksonville, Fla., and Jacob Jordan in Atlanta contributed to this report. ___ On the Net: Defense Department: http://www.defenselink.mil Navy: http://www.navy.mil Copyright 2009 The Associated Press.

I here venereal diseases are all the rage now.

Ah no problem, it is good that John and I hash things out. I am done no worries. Sorry If I hurt his feelings. I think I will try and ban myself, I have work to do. See you guys in a few days.

But the Brits are even worse, they go on a job and the guys are asking "If you don't come back can I have your wife?" Well, if she is pretty... Ask Vortex what it is like to have guys take the piss when you go somewhere. He was regular ARMY once. Before he became a egg beater driver

Yep, "Just a Sailor" That is all you ever hear. When you are friends with them the subject never comes up, who likes to talk about work all the time anyways? The really interesting stuff is all the new technical achievements and how it makes things easier than it used to be. Look at the older guys, you should see them eating the Ibuprofen in the morning, there is a bowl full on the counter. Not that I don't know what that is like... The young ones don't make fun of the aches and pains the older guys have, they study it carefully so they know what is in store for them. They are some of the most fun guys I have ever hung out with, I get treated with respect even though I am just an old ARMY reject. But I get tired of them asking if they can have my dog if I die.

That shows how little you know of me. You might want to check around before making ASSumptions.

Ask him for his DD214... if it says he completed BUDS, he's good... Not every SEAL completed BUDS or had to, that is depending what he did before hand. If they did not complete BUDS and are a SEAL they would be no younger than 50yrs of age now. I will not go into that so people will not use that story. There is a way to affirm it if he is not on active duty, there are other ways as well, but that might entail some really bad repercussions if he is not. In the case I mentioned there are probably not more than a handful of those guys, some of us know one. He never says he is one, but that damn budweiser on hi class A's is hard to hide. The poor Bastard tries hard to never be in anything but work clothes. he has so many ribbons he looks like the the arts and crafts department was blown up and got all over him. Many of the guys in the teams know him by first name, he may have been their instructor or chief at one time or another.

Ask Eugene or Rook

That is basically it, until Kallend can quit acting like an ass towards others he will never truly be accepted. Being dismissive of others who are in fact superior to him in ways other than the knowledge of physics is not the way to earn friendship. Maybe if he can grasp that idea he will no longer be laughed at behind his back. I wonder if he knows what it is like to have friends who will endure hardship, risk death or dismemberment, travel huge distances, or risk public humiliation just to come to the aid of a real friend. He is quite nasty towards Karen Bordson, that really makes me not like him. He is also fairly shitty in his demeanor in the presence of kids, who's parents are standing right there. My daughter thinks Kallend is an asshole. The only thing she had to go by is his statement and attitude when she was introduced to him at the age of 12.
