  1. __________________________________________ NO! My favorite version of your staement is: "I'd like to thank, all those little people I had to step on beat the hell out of and trample all over into worthless piles of camel dung to get where I am today!" There ya go - you had a typo and I fixed it for you Chuck _____________________________________ Pretty much, sums it up! That'll work! Chuck
  2. _______________________________________ How do you explain that? I experience the same thing. When that plane door opens and the desire to 'bail', the exhileration and the whole experience. Then, getting on a ladder or roof-top. I can't explain it. I'm acrophobic as all git-out. Chuck

  4. ______________________________________ I don't care, where you go in this country... you're going to find racism. As for the Stars and Bars, it was originally 'not', a symbol of racism. The Stars and Bars was a symbol of the United Southern States, the Confederacy. Over the years, that flag has been 'construed' as a 'symbol of racism'. The generality that all folks from the South are dumb hilbillies and comparing the Stars and Bars to a nazi flag, is just plain ridiculous, arrogant and a form of bigotry. Chuck
  5. I can't think of their names, right now but, there have been a few black NASCAR drivers who have made names for themselves in stock car racing. A movie, several years ago, starring Richard Pryor, told the story of one of them. I believe, NASCAR has gone from a deep Southern American sport to a national sport. NASCAR, is American! I'll bet, you can't go in a 7-11, anywhere in this country and not see at least one NASCAR cap for sale. If not, they're just 'sold-out' at the time. I think, anyone trying to play the 'race card' in this day and age of the sport, is just out to start something. NASCAR, is for everyone who likes good ol' racin'! Boogity, boogity! Chuck
  6. I think, a NASCAR race is really, a good place to do an 'investigative' report of this kind. NASCAR has a diverse following and not just a bunch of ridge-runnin', red-neck good ol' boys with a dip of snuff in their mouths. For an example, there is Roger Penske who owns a race team in NASCAR as well as open wheel race cars, women drivers in the truck series, black drivers, Hispanic, former open-wheel car drivers and various education levels. The fans who put their fannies in the seats at all the races are as diverse. NASCAR has come a long way since the days of the illegal booze runners. I don't see a problem. People are just too damned sensitive! Chuck
  7. _____________________________________ Hear, hear! Besides looking like total dorks! When approaching someone from their side opposite that gizmo and you start talking with them. They just totally ignore you and start talking about something other than what you are. Then you see it! That 'thing' plugged in their ear! I just walk away from them. Most of the folks I see with those things or just cell-phones are mostly (to me) rude, arrogant jerks. Chuck
  8. That's some beautiful but rugged country through there. Good stuff, John! Chuck
  9. Just how cool is that? Not too many folks can make that brag! Chuck
  10. She's too damned skinny! She needs some meat on those bones! Chuck
  11. Gentleman Jack is pretty good. __________________________________ I've got three bottles of Gentleman Jack on the shelf in my shop. Un-corked with a label on each with the date of the 'contributor's' reserve ride. Chuck
  12. __________________________________ No, Paula did rather well, last night. Maybe, she's getting treatment. She was even 'cuttin' up' with Simon! edit to add: Until recently, I thought Paula was pretty 'classy'. Chuck
  13. ______________________ I would rather have seen Elliott, Ace or Bucky go. Mandisa's 'final' song last night was really good, I thought. Good spin on Shania Twain. Chuck
  14. ...for it's 'bold, politically in-corect' humor. Chuck
  15. _______________________________ Nanner, nanner, nanner... I'm just messin' with ya' All seriousness aside, I remember when that song was a hit. Chuck Chuck
  16. If, Im not mistaken, Johnny Rivers did 'Secret Agent Man'. Chuck
  17. I think, the very first dentist I ever went to as a kid, went to the same dental school as those guys! He'd never wait for the novacaine to kick-in. Chuck
  18. Completely UNLIKE his twin brother, Rocky, who plays in Rule of N9ne. I think they picked the wrong twin! I've always been an Elliott and Chris fan. Also liked Katharine and Mandisa last night. Everyone else is too commercial and not unique enough. That's my final 4. Oh, and although I get sick of Ace's "I wanna fuck you look" straight into the camera, he sounded great last night!
  19. ______________________________________ WELL... EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE MEEEEEE! I'm outa here! I hope, you get feeling better. Chuck
  20. _________________________________________ Kenny Rogers, told Bucky plain and simple, that with that song he chose he would really have to enunciate his words. Which is a true story for that song... Bucky, didn't do it. He was too mumbly. Chuck
  21. _________________________________________ Do you get the impression that Randy, Paula and Simon, were promoting Yamin, last night? I thought he did lousy yet, the 3-judges said more good things about him than anyone else. I think, they want his type of singer to win. They've had a cute little country singer (Carrie) win last year and a different type singer the season before... get my drift? Chuck
  22. That's really neat! Congratulations, Billy! Hope, Mom and baby are doing well. You gotta post pics!!! Chuck
  23. _____________________________ I thought that Kelly, was the best singer last night! Everybod else, was 'dull'. Ace has got to pick up the tempo. Jeeze-Louise! He's too karaoke anyhow. The last couple weeks of 'Idol' have been boo-ring. With the exception of Kelly, any of the others could be in the bottom 3. Chuck
  24. Great to hear! The prayer wheel is still turning! Keep us posted. Chuck
