I almost joined the Mile High Club, and, legitimately. I was flying back from the Rock to Alaska, and when I boarded in Seattle at SEATAC, I noticed that there were two blonde beauties in line to board. We didn't make eye contact then, but once aboard, I saw that they were five seats up from me and I had my eye on them. They were really cute and blonde. And after we got off, er, took off, I noticed that they kept looking back at me and I would smile at them. Finally, one of them, the taller one, came back and with a plastic pair of Alaska Airlines wings on her left upper breast pocket and said coquettishly; "Excuse me sir, but the Captain has asked that you join me and my sister for a drink up where we are sitting". Well now, mesmerized by her beauty, and that fact that a pretty woman was paying me such attention, I quickly accepted and went up forward and sat between them and drank a couple of screw drivers. And before I knew it, I was making out with the taller one who happened to be the older sister of the other one. And then out came the blanket and a very heavy covert and zesty session continued. And finally, with that much intense foreplay going on in such an exciting manner-in front of everybody, but NOT infront of everybody-I could stand it no more. And so, I asked her if she wanted to join the Mile High Club. She hadn't heard of it, but was really intrigued by the idea. I told her how it worked and how she would go back to the restroom, enter, and then I would discreetly follow, knock, and then enter (no pun intended) ;-) She was totally hot to trot, wanted it, but then all of the sudden she frowned and said; "Dammit! We can't do it! Look at what I'm wearing!" And she was right. She was wearing a pair of 80's "parachute pants" that were like black coveralls with a zipper down the front. Incredibly sexy. I had already gotten that dang zipper down a ways, but, there was no way we were going to pull it off in that cramped and tiny bathroom like that. Dammit! And then she moans and whispers in my ear and says; "And to think that I was going to wear a mini skirt today, but decided on this! Dammit!" And so, we made out some more, exchanged phone numbers, but after that, the magic was gone. As I hobbled off the plane, the people in my Twig met me at the airport in Juneau, and even though I tried to pretend that I had not known the girls, they both came up to me, kissed me on either cheek and said; "We love Jonny! By Jonny!" My Twig folks, a married couple and some single people were like; "Who were those girls? They sure seemed to like you!" And I mumbled something about having "witnessed to them..." And so ends the story of my one time opportunity to join the famous Mile High Club... :(

Hi. Been awhile since I have been here. I have in my posession an Ovation "Ultra Series" acoustic guitar with an electric pick up in/on it. It is a "1528" model. A friend wants to sell it to me. He bought it for a thousand dollars about four years ago at a local guitar store. These guys here usually charge higher than places down south, but for that cost, I am thinking that it may be a good guitar. The action is poor, because the strings are too high off of the fret board, so, I can't tell if I like it until I adjust the action. Anybody know how to do that? Also, it has been abused a bit (the owner is a drunk). It has a few dings in it, and, the pick up, when I plugged it into my Fender amp, did nothing more than make horrid electronic crackling sounds. And so, with the dings and the bad pick up, the guy asked for $450.00 when he had it in the paper. No one even made an offer though. And when I said to him; "So, you want $450.00 eh?", He said, "well now, make me an offer, any offer". And that's when I told him that I'd have to put some new strings on it (it had only three left-the original ones), and try it out for awhile at my home, to which he readily agreed. And so, here I am with it. Does anyone know about Ovations and this model in particular? Socks? This git-tar has a very shallow body, presumably because it was meant to be used with an amp and the pickup. I have another friend with a beautiful blonde Ovation that he paid $2000.00 for, and it has sensational sound, as far as I am concerned. I love playing it. I will ask him about this git-box also. But I thought surely that some one here can provide some good info and or advice. Thanks! JL

Knocked him OUT? Whoa, how did that happen?

I wasn't bullied. I beat bullies up. I hated bullies, and I found that every single one, when challenged, were the biggest p u ss ies around. And I enjoyed kicking their as sses. I had a major pet peeve against bullies. I was bullied for a short time until I decided to take a stand, and when it was over, I really enjoyed the victory. From then on, I made it my personal pleasure to stick up for those who were bullied, and enjoyed the fights as well. And little picked on guys liked me, and I enjoyed sticking up for them. And as for the bullies, they were the easiest to whip, except for one. Problem was, seems like my reputation as a tough guy brought on guys that were not bullies, but genuinely tough. And that was a problem, for they were not push overs like the bullies. But, I held my own, and won most fights. Yes, I went right on down that road that many boys do. "Fightin F----- and Foot Facin...." But I hated bullies and still do. But two of my three boys have all stood up to bullies and they do not take any grief at all from them. Luke's turn is next. No doubt he'll do fine... One time I stood up to a bully in ninth grade who was genuinely tough. Tougher than me by far. And not long after we got into it, he punched me in the head with a crushing blow that made me see stars. Hurt like crazy. But, I held my fists up anyway pretending like it didn't hurt like my Dad had taught me, blinked my eyes a time or two, and everyone expected me to fall down cause I was hit so hard. And then the bully, Brian Sweet, smirked at me for he knew that he had bested me. But then, when the crowd realized that the hated bully was about to claim victory, they picked me up on their shoulders and cheered me as the victor as the the bewildered bully Brian Sweet stood there in confusion, as I looked at him in just as much bewilderment while they carried me away.. But I knew that no one in the crowd wanted that bully punk to claim the victory as they chanted "Nye kicked his a s s! Nye kicked his a s s!" Funny, all of that. My advice to you or your kids is to stand up to them. Watch the movie "Three O'Clock High". Boys need to stand up for themselves eventually, and it will help make their future as Men.

Wow, you can get her to say some very naughty things!

And so Dot, concerning all that.....Fuggeddaboudit. This is a nice thread, the subject that is. and I think that selective breeding is the key. However, because the pit bull is so incredibly strong and such an excellent fighting machine, there will always be those back yard breeders screwing with the breed. The breed that my wife and I are interested in is the American Bulldog. They are bigger than the pit bull, look similar, but do not have a bad reputationlike pit bulls and Rotwiellers. I think that "Petey" in the Little Rascals was an American Bulldog..

Come on Duc, I think your points are valid, but really, I do think that Dot was only referring to those who pit the dogs against each other in order to gamble and get their jollies. And, I too have always thought of those people as horrible. And so Ductape, I think you are so right when you mentioned the breeding factor. I remember awhile back when there was a terrible malady in St Bernards. It was proven that the track that breeders were going down (I can't remember which trait was being sought in the big beautiful beasties) ended up bringing on literal brain damage to the St. Bernard in large numbers, and the dogs had attacked their masters in many situations. And so, after this had occurred and was medically proven, the St Bernard breeders began to correct the problem by pairing breeding pairs with eachother that were very docile in nature, and prone to being kind and happy. The end result was that now we have St Bernards that are almost goofy and "sloppily lovey dovey". Very docile they are nowadays, according to a breeder with whom I spoke. I was given this explanation when I was playing with his gentle giant and exclaimed at how friendly and kind his monster dog was. And, his explanation was that which I just gave. And so, maybe the American Staffordshire Terrier (a pure pit bull's actual breed name) Breeders Association (or whatever they call themselves) could aggressively persue a similar course, thus, saving the breed as opposed to eliminating the breed. Problem is though (no doubt) is that the "back yard breeders" who fight the dogs for betting, would continue to breed aggresiveness into the non AKC member dogs.. But that might be a start...

I want the Colts, but it's anybodies game. I do know that one of the Bears key defensive lineman may be kept from going to The Big Show because he broke his probationary rules for the second time and was arrested with illegal firearms. Personally, I hope that the Judge does in fact keep the guy from going to the Big Show. If the guy were any "regular American", then the Judge would throw the book at him, and I think professional athletes should be held to the same standard as all of us. Were the guy an Indiannapolis Colt, I would (grudgingly) say the same thing. It isn't right that the guy should break the law like that and still get to go on to glow-ry just because he is one of Da Bears. And hell, he is an NFL player fer God's sakes! Any kid who grows up to be an NFL player has gone to the Big Show even if they are second string and never make the play offs! But this moron, like Dexter Manley of my beloved Washington Redskins has blown the opportunity of a lifetime! And his team is going to the Super Bowl! What an idiot! And, maybe the Judge will make an example of him, like he should. The Bears coaching staff say that without this guy (Johnson?), they could be in deep kimchi...

A fresh article on LA's gangs, particularly noting the deaths of a 14 and a 9 year old girl, killed by stray gang bullets. But thank God the article says that the gangs are now going to be "cracked down upon". Yeah right. What is needed is brutal force that is unequalled by any gang. They need to be hunted with extreme prejudice. But, that ain't gonna happen. Our country is so weak and PC that we have lost our way. Extremely stupid people run our country. All politicians are governed by their "need" to keep their jobs by getting the votes. Good men and women's hands are tied and not allowed to do the job necessary to stop the evils that stalk our land. And oh, if a person decides to leave the "good land" where gangs are allowed to flourish because of political correctness, then they are accused of "white flight". Too bad the parents of the slaughtered little girls didn't practice "white flight" the day before their lovely little girls were senselessly gunned down... http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/01/22/la.gangs.ap/index.html

Da Bears..... And now, Go Colts!

Yeah Tony Dungee! NIce to see them Colts kick the Patriots out of the running! (Sorry Cool Chef), but, I am glad to see the guys who havent been there "go there". I am a Redskins fan, and when they aint in it, I follow various teams toward The End. And, even though the Saints didn't make it, now I want the Colts because they haven't been there, and, because Tony Dungee lost his son last year, and, he seems like a nice guy... And so, GO COLTS!!!!!

LindaZ. It DOES go away. I quit cold turkey in 92 after 23 years of smoking, determined to never take one puff of any tobacco product ever again. I had done this many times in the past, always cold turkey, many times for as long as six and eight months. But the thing that always got me started again was taking one drag of a cigarette, a cigar, or when somebody nearby would roll a "home roll" cigarette, and I'd offer to show off my "marijuana days one paper joint/cig", which I'd end up smoking, and be on the road again to smoking Camels at a pack a day. But the desire goes away, and my dear girl, I personally believe that it is 100 percent mental. I am far more physically addicted to coffee than I ever was to tobacco. I have never experienced tobacco withdrawals like I have when I have stopped coffee cold turkey. One time when I stopped drinking coffee (I drank at least 8 cups a day at that time), by the second day, I had major headaches, and a lethargy that was just unbelieveable! Fortunately, on the fourth day, I was like new again, and all "flushed out" I guess. I don't preach at people to stop smoking, but if anyone does ask my advice, one of the things that I tell them that helped me most is that A.) It has to be cold turkey. Forget the patches, et al, for it is purely a decision kept by your will and resolve. B.) When you think that you want to smoke, just tell your mind to shut up, for; "I am a non smoker! Why would a non smoker ever want a cigarette! A non smoker wouldn't want a cigarette, and I am a non smoker! And man, am I proud of the fact that I did in fact kick the habit! I am no longer a slave to something that makes me stink and hurts my lungs and could harm my family deeply if I died from it! Yahoo! I did it!" A personal pep talk you see... That's what worked for me. And now, the thought of starting in again is simply preposterous. It will never happen, for, I don't smoke. Hey, way to go LindaZ, six months is a long time. You are way over the hump. And I DO know that there is a hump to get over. For me, it was always the first few weeks of mentally just "wanting one". Anyway, the best to you, and may you arrive at the point where not wanting a cig "ends....." And Kevlar, I didn't even read your post until after I posted my post. Yeah; "I'm a non smoker, why would I want to smoke?" Right on...

Get them into martial arts with a sen sai (sp?) who teaches them self respect and respect for their master, and a respect for hard work to achieve amazing goals. The "Master/Apprentice" thing. And that is from Dr. Laura Schlesinger. Later, after learning some grappling/wrestling skills, they can get into the Ultimate Fighting Competitions (UFC) for some awesome fighting experiences. A most excellent way for the to "excape" from the Ghettoooo....."

Chatty K, you are brilliant! Keep on voicing your opinion, for, it is excellent!

Why thank you Lori, that was so kind of you. I never thought of myself as much, but, well, thank you so very much. SA and we "Alaska Gangstahs" (gotta stay on topic ) had a fine time back the, didn't we? Those were good days.... :)

Yeah, sadly, those who are Lawless, only understand a "Lawless" response. They only understand violence. They live by violence, and will only respond to violence that exceeds their own. If a bear tries to eat me, and I shoot him first, then he dies, and I don't. End of story. But bears cannot reason like humans can. If gangbangers keep on being able to "cow" the Citizens that pay the taxes that pay their way, they will keep on "cowing" the Citizens. But if the Citizens rise up with force (which does in fact mean guns-for they cow Citizens with their guns), then they will back of, or.....die. But, America will never take that stance as a whole, and so, things will just keep getting worse and worse, and the Devil will continue to have more and more control of This Old World. But, his day is coming, and the King of Kings and Lord of Lords will come and Gather us Together, and we will meet him in the air, and then, all of the sudden......The odds will have changed! And in the meantime, I will trust God to not be in a situation where some gang may hurt my wife and kids. I will trust God that I do NOT make a wrong turn when in L.A. for a recording session and end up in the wrong neighborhood. But also in the meantime, I will be armed in those scary situations (be they bear situations or "human scary" situations) and be prepared like a good boyscout-which I never was, got kicked out-and respond as needed. I pray to God that I never take a human life, but, if in the defense of my wife and kids: "I'd rather be tried by Twelve, than carried by Six......" I want to be like Enos/Enoch(?), who "never saw death". Too late though, I already helped a little black boy to die on the highway in Cincinatti when I was picking up a Way VIP (LP) from the airport and driving him to the ROA and Corps week. He (the little boy-8-ran straight into the path of the car in front of us at 65 mph, and was way whacked. Flew into the air. He barely had anything to speak before he checked out. Sad day, that. And to think that I got reproved for stopping to help the little boy by the Way Rev VIP (LP). Glad I made him squirm and made him "be on the line" as a "MOG." I broke into tears numerous times as we proceeded north to New Knoxville. Poor little guy. Yeah, guess I am a racist because I would like to see gangs of illegal aliens dealt with in the only way that they know....

Great thread Rascal, and great posts! I agree with you on everything you have said. Cheers!

Some decks of cards simply are not full.

Glad I live in Alaska. The Lower 48 has lost it's mind, allowing the crime that I read about. Up here, in Juneau, the LIBERAL capitol of Alaska, some Jamiacan posse gang dudes came her and tried to start the "crack coaine gang thing" amongst the middle school kids (grades 6, 7th and eighth). And even though the cops tried to stay in touch with these two punks, they finally lost track of them. There was no record of their names on out bound planes, and no record of them boarding any State run ferries (which is the only way to get in and out of Juneau, for we are, for al intent and purposes, and ISLAND). But finally, the cops received an anonymous message. The message read; "Check the crab pots in Auke Bay" (paraphrase). And they did. They found the half eaten bodies of the crack Jamaican's half eaten by dungeness and King crabs. And, the threat of the gangs halted right then and there. No doubt some commercial fisherman with sweet little children decided that this "gang threat" did not need to flourish here. The cops never really persued the case, for afterall, there were was no need. S hit man, it's a jungle! We do what we need to do to survive, to protect our kids! And, next post, I will tell what the Fairbanks Hells Angels did to keep the "Bloods" gang from starting a chapter there. It was beautiful man, really. Well hell, I'll tell you right now. The "Bloods", some black gang from Cali, decided that they were going to move into Fairbanks, AK. The Hells Angels, having gotten wind of this, simply sent a message to them and said; "If you try to set up shop here, we will kill you all". Well, the Bloods backed off , and the HA still rules the turf. And, the HA does not run around killing the innocent citizens in FBanks. And the people of Fairbanks were happy wth their local Hells Angels. When people see them at bars, they buy them drinks. Looks like the threat of death to the Bloods did the trick.

I have nothing more to say to you. You are a liar.

But I will deal with this one: Coolwaters, that was total bull s h it! You are so wrong you make me sick. Maybe you are totally unbalanced to make a comment like that. I will never respect your opinion again, ever. I was not even in Alaska when Rich U and Steven D molested those kids. I had moved to Oklahoma to run a branch and heard about it down there. And when I heard of it I was sickened, and made the comment to my wife that the sick bastards should have had their nuts cut off and that the LC should have been thrown in jail. That LC and I were not buddies at all, and we were constantly at odds. I had a major bone to pick with that LC about other things, and it didn't surprise me at all when I learned later that he had allowed those guys to run a children's fellowship. And when we were in Alaska, I asked GK the LC numerous times; "Why do you let that guy run a twig? He is just so weird!" And he would just laugh it off and make jokes about his weirdness. And I'd tell him that he was too weird to run a twig, but to no avail. I had no idea that Rich was running a children's fellowship. I just thought he was a local twig leader with some military people in it. Sorry CW if I wasn't spiritual enough to know that he was a molester. And, I didn't live in Anchorage, I lived in Kenai, down on the Peninsula, a three hour drive away. I wasn't very much up on the Anchorage goins ons. I only saw bits and pieces, because I only came up periodically for meetings, and was always very happy that I didn't have to live up there. By the time I heard about it, the guys were already in jail and I thought that America's weak form of justice was served. I thought that at the least, they should have been de-nutted, but our system just doesn't work that way now does it? But how would you have known what I thought? I didn't kow you, and once again, I wasn't even in the state. Shame on you for your comment! It seems that you CW have a thing about getting the "upstanding pillars of the community", which you may well have reason to go after. Personally, I think all crime, white collar, blue collar, gang crime, drug crime, all crime, should be stopped if possible. The subject here is "gangs", and that aspect of crime should be wiped out if possible. Now, were we to be on a subject of pedophilia, I would voice the same if not more extreme sentiments. You crossed the line with that one CW. I can forgive you for it, but I will never trust you or respect your opinions, for it seems that your opinions are tainted with negative experiences and your emotions do not allow you to be able to see clearly and cause you to make stupid and hurtful judgements about people whom you know nothing about, as in this case with me. Selah

Good for you. But I sure wish that my renters's son (who confronted the guys in the process of what looked like the beginning of the rape of a defenseless young woman) had had a gun. He just might still be here today. As it is the punk azz gangstahs "popped a cap in his azz", and now he is a worm farm somewhere in California. I say clean the scum out with deadly force. Use our Navy Seals here where we need them, and start exterminating the vermin. Mother rapers and father stabbers need to go.....

Oh!! I am just waiting with bated breath! I just hafta know! Don' know man, seems like Peyton Place around here sometimes. Seems to me that the CES folks are way less evil than let's say the Aztecs and their human sacrifices and such. I mean geez, ever read about Montezuma and his holy priests who sacrificed humans? Now, THAT was a serious cult! Sorry for the sarcasm, but, that's just the way I read this whole CES "multiple thread forum".

Ditto what Tom Strange said. Although, I allowed my nephews to "skitch" a ride on my bumper one time in Oklahoma, where there were no hills to sled on. But they didn't call it "skitchin". They called it "bumper ridin......"

Cool Hap, and thanks for understanding. I really am a nice guy, and seriously hope I am never in a situation like the ones mentioned. But if the choice came down to me, or any of my family, I would make the "deadly force decision" in a heartbeat. I KNOW that I am a good guy, and the same with my wife and kids. And, sure enough Eagle, I kinda thought that this was what you were thinking... It really is beyond me how anyone can be the way those guys were to my landlords son. It's just unfathomable. But, they are out there, Believe it.............or Not!
