I second the motion DMiller, and Edi, that was very well put. And Eagle, I think you are a gentleman and a scholar. Ya know, the rudeness by this particular poster is way over the top. And I am amazed that this is going on in an Open thread. I think that there is a double standard here at the Grease Spot Cafe.

I'd have a hard time looking into anything Panarello has done or is involved with. The way he treated me and my wife back in the DC Metro area in 1987-88 was despicable. I'd have to have a full fledged and honest apology from that dude. And I can forgive too, for I am taught to do so by God and Jesus Christ. Sorry, just the mention of him has gotten my blood boiling. Now maybe I'll have to go to God on this one and ask Him to forgive me for my dormant anger that I obviously haven't gotten rid of...

Hah! No kiddin! :)

And maybe, Mosh, this has been a draw. Every good story, movie, whatever, needs to have "conflict". Maybe this has been part of the attraction to the show? Maybe to keep the show "exciting", she should stay? I dunno, I have never seenit. The tv schedules here in AK are often way out of whack I mean, Monday night Football starts at 5:00 p.m. When does "The View" air?

Never watched the show, but I have thought her very funny at times. She was good in "A League Of Their Own" about the women's baseball teams during WW II. She also did a funny one with Dan Akroyd where they went to some Island for a sex vacation as undercover cops. Pretty funny, that one. She was all decked out in the bondage gear and was her usual funny self. But, I cannot stand her liberal political views, particularly her stance on gun control. She has armed body guards, but doesn't want me to have firearms. A typical Lefty hypocrite.

Hey!! Happy birthday to you "Rondo"! And another happy birthday to your twin "Bondo"! R and B. "Rythm and Blues". I'm glad America was blessed by you two! I hope your birthday finds you well as well as your brothers! Love you man, and "Good On Ya" for makin it this far. I will be fifty in May. Oh brother....And so, how old are you? Wish I could be there to be a "Fellow Sipper" with you on your special day. Why, we'd tie one on and have some fine times Down Under!

Wow Rascal,that's an awesome thing for the deputy to say, and how true! And ya know, that's how I have operated. And, because I am very responsible and downright religious about safety and concealment, no one even knows that I carry it from time to time. I don't usually carry it around here in Juneau except when in the woods and the bears are out, or when I walk my dog in an area where our local wolf has now eaten three domestic dogs. He only eats little dogs. The last one was a Pomeranian. But when I have worked up north in the Bush and lived in "Man Camps", I carried it afetr work all of the time. Too wild and wooly in those situations where there is lots of after work drinkin' goin' on. And at home while I am away, my wife keeps the house protected with her 12 gage pump shotgun with the pistol grip. He nick name is "Shotgun Shannon" by the way... And we always pray that we never ever need to use a firearm in defense of life and property against a human. We have used them to scare off bears numerous times though, and man were we thankful to be armed.

Hey there Sogwap! Happy Birthday! And, because Roy's tagline is so endearing, I would like to also say (if I may, Roy), "with love and a holy kiss blowing your way!" :) Jonny Lingo

Go Ted. And right on Rascal. And all of the rest of you who agree with Ted. I am at work and don't have time to comment more. I did just post one on gun control over at Politics and Tacks. An article about a guy who protected himself at the restaurant he owns. A young "rapper" came in, stuck a nine mm in his face, and the owner pulled his own pistol and shot him. Now the restaurant owner is under legal fire. But anyway. I really liked Ted's hard hitting "from the hip" opinion. But what else can we expect from the "Motor City Madman"? We simply need to wake up as a Nation and put a stop the the hand wringing do gooders by voting in those who think logically like we do. Up here in Alaska, we need no conceal and carry permit. Although, when it was required, it never stopped me. I'd rather be tried by twelve, than carried by six....

I agree with Rocky here. I think that what Krys meant was that even though he was addressing his daughter, he was really "speaking" to Basinger whom he no doubt believes is the root of their problems. That may or not be true, but I believe that this is what Krys was saying. Personally, it makes sense to me too. The problem is, he was actually addressing his little eleven year old girl in an inexcusable and dispicable manner. Yes, she could have, and it may well have had enough impact for her to prove her point and cause Baldwin to get some help to change. But, and I heard Bill O'Rielly say this today, those two really hate eachother, and their hatred for each other far outweighs their love for their child. Which may be true also.

Well, I do think it may be rough on the daughter now that the WHOLE WORLD knows about it. But if ever there a come uppance was, this is it! Sometimes for a person to change, they need to have their problems exposed to themselves so that they really and finally see it. And, this should leave no doubt in his mind as he listens to it. Maybe there is hope for him. And maybe now he'll be on the road to recovery and will at last begin to love his daughter. That would be nice. Now, out of curiosity, was it posted on the internt? Or was it sent to some media outlet, and some computer savvy person after hearing it on radio or something posted it to the Net? I heard it on the Glen Beck show @ 0515 in the morning while sitting in my truck waiting for the ferry last Friday. And man! I couldn't believe my ears! I sat up so quickly I spilled my coffee! And yeah, I did have to think to myself; "So much for all of that "compassion" and Tolerance that he has publicly spoken about. And hey, didja all know that his brother, actor Stephen Baldwin became a Christian believer? Yup, I heard him on the Glen Beck radio show this winter, talking about his moment of accepting Jesus as his Lord. It was way cool! At least to me anyway. And Beck, funny as always, asked him "what last Thanksgiving was like" as they sat at the table, with Alec a far Left kind of guy and Stephen, an excited new Christian kind of a guy. Stephen's reply was, if I remember correctly, that they kept things civil. But Beck had me laughing my butt off as he went through various possible scenarios at the dinner table. Oh well, I hope Alec can get the best from this. He can either go after Basinger for pulling such a dirty trick (which it was-but Alec you do reap what you sow), or, he can take it all as a serious heads up and endeavor to change. I hope the latter, but, we'll see....

Yup, scared the crapouta me too even though I knew something like it was coming. Wicked! And no the Zig Zag guy had a smoke in his hand or mouth and some kind of a thing on his head. Like an old tall ship sailor or something. And so now, who can post a picture of the Zig Zag dude? I think this guy looked more like Jesus...

I remember Ramona, and, I thought she was pretty hot! But then again, I was always concerned that she was an opportunist and a "gold digger". I don't know her history with Craig, but from what I have read just here, she must have played some part in his adulterous affairs. Did she? She was kind of sweet to me when she was in the 12th, but when it appeared to her that I was very "low level", I was sort of "dumped". Oh well, guess she missed out on something special....

Ya know Chris, that conversation was a very long time ago. Back in '92 when it was not "spiritually" right to speak to anyone who didn't stand with The Way. But now, things have changed there somewhat, and even though under the surface they (Wayfers) still think we are "cop outs", they have been"allowed" to be friendly with we "cop outs" once again. And so, if you do locate him, he very well may be friendly to you. I had a nice e-mail conversation with a guy by the name of Kerry Hostetter who is/was a staffer at HQ, and he was very nice and acted relived that he had been given "spiritual permission" to speak with an Ex-Way. And he chattered on and on as we recalled good times that we'd had living to gether for a year. This was after Craig got busted for porking that one dudes wife. At any rate, I'll just betcha that there are a lot of "Innies" who are relieved that they have been allowed to speak with Ex-Ways, and when they do, maybe are even friendly. And maybe Terrence Worth Christian might be one of those. But man oh man was he rude and wicked to me when I had that conversation with him. It was like his wonderful good old loving heart had turned black like an evil sickness. Weird it was...

They have cute and endearing little eyes, these Pacific Spiny Lumpsuckers. And none of our four are bigger than one inch long. Amazing little critturs!

I missed you

Oh man! I have the priviledge of watching over and over-seeing and maintaining a 5000 gallon aquarium at the Douglas Island Pink And Chum salmon hatchery, among many other duties. And, as of today, we have released 20 million one inch Chum (Dog) salmon into the salt water into our remote net pens for further release when they are bigger. When I was a kid, I had multiple aquariums with tropicals, as well as local reptiles and amphibians. And, God hads blessed me with a cool job at this hatchery: http://www.dipac.net/ Yup, you can even see my name (Kevin Nye) at the "employee page" as the #2 maintenance guy. Sadly, this website does not do the hatchery justice. Especially the photo section. The aquarium photos are lousy, and we have a brand new cylindricall aquarium as opposed to the hexagonal aquarium in the photos. But, the job is great, and now that all of the "wee fishies" are "out to sea" (yet still in the "net pens" where we feed them for three months), we are looking forward to a wonderful "return" of the "wee fishies" released four years ago. They will be between 8 and ten pounds. It's an exciting job, and I am proud to be a part of something that contributes to something as basic as "feeding the world", because up here in Alaska, we do just that and with some very healthy "eatins". Protein is good, especially when it is as tasty as salmon..... And hey, in some of our smaller aquariums which we use to educate the kids in the grade schools, we have four little "North Pacific Spiny Lump Suckers". And every morning at 0600, I always make sure to count them to make sure that "all are present". They look like this: And the four that we have are only about an inch long. We used to have five, but one of the evil starfish ate him much to my dismay one morning! Yeah, I showed up, turned on the lights, looked for my favorite little guys, and whoa! A starfifish was eating my half eaten litttle friend! And so, that's life in the Jungle I guess... Anyway, I think that God has blessed me with this job......

Free, let me be the last (so far!) to wish you a happy birthday! You don't look a day over twenty five you pretty fox you! Love you loads, Jonny Lingo

Since this thread is entitled simply "B.G. Leonard", I think that there is some lattitude here for me to deviate from the plaigerism(sp?) thing. And so, a short stow-ree: When my wife and I were at the Rock the year that we had a memorial for VPW after he died, I happened to be privy to a very interesting situation that involved Rev. B.G Leonard his own self. A good friend of my wife and myself happened to be the "guest buddy of Mr. Leonard. She was/is an Eight Corps grad by the name of Carolynn. B.G. had been invited to that ROA/Memorial for VPW as one of VP's teachers you see, and so, he came. And one day, as Carolynn, Mrs. Lingo and I sat for lunch with Rev. Leonard in the "lunch tent" (his wife was not present), all of the sudden, after the greetings and the pleasantries, Rev. Leonard just plain went off! We had been eating and enjoying each other's company, while listening to the music of Takit while they practiced to get ready for the evening's entertainment. I was a bit uncomfortable that this older gentleman from another generation had to listen to the "piped in" music of Takit, because I knew that he probably did not approve at all. And sure enough, at one point, he slammed his fist down and said vehemently: "This ministry will not stand! That music is the music of Baal! There is no way that this ministry will stand before God!" And, being the good little apologist and newly ordained Way Rev that I was, tried to defend the ministry with some weak excuse about we believers having "liberty in Christ". But, with fire in his eyes, he repeated the same words with a vengeance, and we were all very shook, and, I believed him. Well, that was '85 I believe, and the lid was just about to blow off of the whole damned thing as he spoke. Interesting, huh? I have shared this story here before, but, I know that there are a few new folks here these days since I last shared it...

And so, I am happy to report that my son is okay, and very heterosexual and dosn't seem to show any signs of mental abuse that would normallly come with such a situation.....Thank God Almighty....

Whoa. This thread is deep. I have an experience to relate. When one of my sons was three years old, a fourteen year old neighbor boy molested him under the house in the crawl space. Fondled his genitals he did. Mt wife caught him in the act and sent the boy home, and made no big deal over it with my son. When I came home from a long day of sheetrocking, I was told about what happened. I was furious and ashamed and ....ed off that I'd not been able to protect my son and I had murder in my heart. The boy was actually out in the street kicking a soccer ball around. I went out and called him over to the fence and he came, sheepishly. When he got to me, I quickly put both of my hands around his throat and began to strangle him. He turned red and then purple and the veins in his neck were bulging as terror was in his bulging eyes. I wanted to kill him! And, I think I came close, but, in my mind I asked God what He would rather have me do, and, I released the death grip but I still held him by his shirt while I ripped into him verbally. I told him that he was lucky he wasn't dead, and I yelled many things calling him a faggot pedophile piece of s h i t and every other thing in the book. And I am not saying that this was what God told me to do. The only thing I think I did right was to not kill him on the spot. I released the boy and went into the house and allowed my fury and adrenalin to subside. My wife and I decided to not make any more mention of it to our son other than to tell him to never let anyone touch him like that again. We told the neighbor boys parents but did not call the police. The boy, as it turns out had been molested by a Catholic "priest", and this thing went to the top of their church, and the boy underwent intense counseling. Our opinion, as far as our own son was concened, was that we didn't think that we should have made a big deal of it, but rather to just let it slide from his memory, which it did, and, he has grown up as a normal healthy boy. That's what we chose. We figured that if the authorities and the counselors got involved, that my son would think that he did some terrible thing and that he was some kind of a pervert. And so, we did what we did and it is done. His very young age was the major factor in that decision. The nine year old girl was just too old. But I for one am completely and totally glad that my son has no knowledge of the incident and that it is far far behind him. Oh but man oh man, I almost killed that boy.

He Is Risen Indeed! Ya know, way back as long as I can remember, my dear sweet Mother would wake us on Easter morning by shouting: "He is Risen!" And we kids would respond with a gleeful; "He is Risen Indeed!!" And, my dear sweet Mom, who just had her 86th birthday in March, still carries on the tradition and I did get that expected phone call this morning. Yup, the three greatest words ever uttered, and I guess it was Gabriel giving that message to, who was it, Mary? And Greasy Tech, what are you saying?

Well, I do like to tell my stow-rees.... :)

No, all of that was before I was married, and, I'm okay. 23 years of marital bliss, and yes, there is some history there. Since I have four wonderful children, obviously I have been laid at leastfour times in my married life..... Well now Dooj, I am not sure about what you mean. I don't "own" any pole dancers, but, since you ask, I am happy to tell you a true story: This past Saint Paddy's Day, my wife and I went out on the town with a friend of hers who is a nurse at the local hospital. And, her friend Kaye, brought her whole crew with whom she works. This bunch consisted of four other nurses, and, a male nurse by the uniquely gay name of Sergio. Now, "Sergio" may not necessarilly be a "gay name", but since old "Serg" is as gay as can be, it was very appropos. And so, there we were, at "Marlintini's Sports Bar" doing shots, drinking green beer, and having a good old time together. And, even though I am not a fan of the gay thing, I was very polite and kind to Sergio, who was only "suspect" before I began my pole dancing. Yep, my wifes' girlfriends were getting pretty silly with the booze and all, and mentioned something about male strippers. And, since there was a pole right next to our table all the way to the ceiling, I jumped up and began to pretend to be a female stripper doing the "pole dance thing", much to the ladies delight! Oh man, it was really funny! I am not really good at it, but, since everybody was fairly lit, it went over pretty well. And, Sergio really liked it and to everyone's embarrasment, kept asking me to "do it some more!" That's when I figured out that he enjoyed watching me as much as the girls did, and, that was pretty obvious, and funny too. And so, being somewhat embarrased by my own boldness to act that way, I kind of clammed up and refused the requests of my wife and her friends, including Sergio. But as we continued on in lots of "happy merriment", Kaye finally says; "C'mon Jonny (Kevin), do it again, just give me three minutes in the pole". Well now, even though I was somewhat innebriated, the words "just give me three minutes on the pole" were too hard to pass up as far as the accidentally implied sexual inuendo was concerned. And so, I said; "Three minutes on the pole you say? Okay, here ya go! Jump on there and have some fun!"......And I kind of did a pelvic thrust from my chair looking Kaye straight n the eyes and unbuckled my belt, undid the button and began to slowly unzip the fly. And, the girls went crazy! Including my wife! And naturally, I stopped right there, and it was all good and fun. And, my wife loves it that I can still tease the girls, and I am thankful to still be "sorta okay" as a nearly fifty year old guy (May 8th '57) that has girls still likin him.... And so Dooj, "Do I got pole dancers Jonny" Well, I dunno, but, I did do my little gig the other night.....

Umm...My pole has lots of history...
