  1. I'd let him keep his presents. On Christmas morning, when everyone is opening presents, he's got nothing! Let him think about it. Chuck
  2. To me, that's a good reason for a lne-item veto power to the president. Cut the riders getting money to frivilous things. Chuck
  3. That's it! Ha, ha... you're good! Thanks a bunch. Chuck
  4. Check this out... http://blogsmiaminewtimes.coml...llstertonyfabr.php (Sorry, I don't know how to make it 'clicky') Chuck
  5. We're still trying to help you kick your comma addiction. The first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem. That means a lot. I know it's been a problem... I just don't know what to do. You have no idea... Well... the first thing to realise... is that you can't just... substitute... one addiction... for another... It just doesn't help. Like snuff instead of cigarettes? Chuck
  6. Yes, but it helps the mice and the gerbils see better. That accounts for those tiny black lumps in my oatmeal! Chuck
  7. Turn-about is fair play. It all kinda back-fired! Chuck

  9. No doubt a new product from Apple. You sync your controversial thread topics and the device makes random comments. The iWTH, for when you just don't care. I was giggin' Popsjumper. I had no idea you were a Texas Aggie. No, not an Aggie. 'Preciate the compliment, though. Popsjumper called me on a mis-spelling typo and I was getting him back for it. Chuck

  11. ??? -License plate motto -charity goal ??? replacing one iwth the other? I don't get it. Looks like you're using something out of left field and something out of right field and asking what's behind the goal post. Ahem... 'iwth'? Chuck
  12. Are you recommending an audit for ONLY the religious plates, or for ALL the specialty plates? I'm recommending a tactic, not taking sides on the belief systems. And when the audit shows that the state's vendor for specialty plates is properly dispensing the charity funds, what then? Then I have no issue with it. I'm guessing that's not going to be the case here though. Call me cynical, but I distrust the vast majority of charities and especially ones that appear to disingenuously hide behind religion. If you believe there is a God, then why would He need your money to work miracles? I'm with you, on the cynical part. One charity that really gets me is the one saving abused animals. Namely The Humane Society of The United States. You know the one, with Sarah McLaughlin and all the abused animal videos. They make it sound like they are somehow affiliated with local humane societies. They are not! Some of the others are the 'adopt a child' ones where they write you letters for sending them money. Maybe, they are legit but I do wonder about them. Chuck
  13. So says the anti-religion bigots. It's always funny to watch some people call religious folks intolerant, and show themselves to be intolerant in doing so. It's an optional plate. If you don't want it, nobody will force you to have it. So how will you feel (and the rest of Texas) if a group tries to get Allah is Good plates? How did you feel about the new mosques in Manhattan? Let 'em! I don't have a problem with either one. For one thing, I don't live anywhere near Manhattan and for another thing, I don't really pay attention to license plates. Unless, the driver is doing something against the law and I need to write-down the plate. These 'vanity plates' are just a way for people to be noticed, to be out there, look at me! Big deal. Chuck
  14. Don't those high dolar jobs have mercury in them? They break just ike the old ones... I dropped one the other day. Chuck
  15. You got that right. If and when he gets turned-down, I wonder if, he'l put-up a fuss like Pete Rose did? Chuck
  16. The way I see it, it's simple. GE and others stood to make a bundle off the sale of those squigly, high dollar light bulbs. If, it's the only thing out there, people are forced to buy it. I'm just glad the ban didn't go through. I don't need the government telling me what I must buy and giving big business a boost in profits at the same time. Chuck
  17. he was convicted of obstructing justice, not juicing. If the sentence were any bigger, I'd expect him to fight it, but for this pittance, maybe he'll laugh it to the couch. Right. Emotional response on my part. I guess, it irritates me that someone can get away with what he did and comes-out a hero with a slap on the hand. As they say, it is what it is. Chuck
  18. There is even a "Freebirds" license plate available. All it takes is enough people who are willing to buy it and it not being obscene. For those who don't know, Freebirds is a burrito place that got it's Texas start in College Station (Texas A&M) and now has a couple dozen locations through out Texas. That's 'free' advertising for 'Freebirds'! By any chance... is there a Lynard Skinard connection, there? Looks like, if someone is willing to pay, one can have just about anything on a license plate. Really, that's cool. More money for The State! Chuck
  19. I think, Major League Baseball should strip him of all the home runs he got while 'juiced'. Chuck
  20. So says the anti-religion bigots. It's always funny to watch some people call religious folks intolerant, and show themselves to be intolerant in doing so. It's an optional plate. If you don't want it, nobody will force you to have it. Would you prefer that there be no specialty plates catering to the religious? If so, why? Maybe you would like to outlaw churches too? Does it make you mad every time you drive past a church? It apears to me, all these minority groups are intolerant of something. Now, with all this PC stuff going around, there seems to be a big increase in intolerance. Sheeesh... Chuck
  21. Helps me aim better. My vision isn't what it use to be. That's a darn good point! Chuck
