Galen said: Thank you. I appreciate it and I know others will as well.

personally I would probably live longer if I never heard "24/7" or "awesome" again... I just feel the life force draining out of me every time I hear one of those... ...and I immediately assign pretentiousness to anyone who uses the phrase "at the end of the day"...

watch the last episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm", that'll give you a good idea if you're gonna like it or not... and you'll laugh your a$$ off!

I really am seriously contemplating getting a Buddy Christ dashboard statuette for my car! Just to keep 'em guessing!

I don't know, I haven't really been too put off by anything yet... I guess it's because it's what I was expecting, that they're going to push the envelope and try and give it 'reality'... that way, I'm not surprised... While I didn't particularly 'revel' in the peeing scenes, I didn't really mind them, I just thought it added to the character and flavor of the times... but then again, Ben Cartwright, Matt Dillon and Miss Kitty never went to the bathroom and I didn't feel like I'd missed anything... I remember watching westerns when I was a young lad and thinking "gee, it'd be great to have lived back then"... but that's because it was such a sanitized version we were seeing... know what I mean? I thought it was 'natural' for Swearingen to pee when he woke up, it's what humans do... and I laughed out loud when Charlie farted while peeing and had an 'accident'! But now I feel so ashamed! :D-->

At one time, when I was single and had no life (as opposed to married and have no life) play Midieval... it was a pretty fun game... I tried to play Myst once, but what is the objective? I'd give it a try if there was a clear cut objective (like getting out of the room in this one) but I don't recall ever figuring it out...

Galen said: That's true, there were many.BUT SIR, THERE WERE MANY, MANY, MANY MORE WHO WEREN'T. Yet the tone of your posts does not seem to ever allow for that. I'm sorry you didn't get to meet many of them, you have to admit that your exposure to and involvement with TWI was "not the norm". You were on a submarine for a good part of it (from what I understand), and other times you were in the military while doing the outreach. You also said to Alfakat: YES YOU DID, WHEN YOU BLANKET LABEL THE CORPS AS EVIL, ROTTEN A$$HOLES. see Galen, Alfakat was corps, but he wasn't and evil, rotten a$$hole. WHEN YOU BLANKET LABEL THE CORPS AS EVIL, ROTTEN A$$HOLES. Do you get it yet? Then please have the courtesy when you are referencing THE CORPS as evil/bootlicking/rotten/a$$holes include the phrase "the ones I came in contact with"... please do us that courtesy. I do notice here that you use the phrase "A lot of"... THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE... DO YOU SEE IT? If you were describing the corps there you would've said "SERVICEMEMBERS ARE BONEHEADS"... but when referring to servicemembers, the military, SOMETHING NEAR TO YOUR HEART... you add the small little words "a lot of"... changes the entire meaning of what your saying... removes the blanket...Please give us the courtesy as well. No one knows better than we do that there were "a lot of" corps who were bad... No one knows better than we do that there were a lot more who weren't. COMMON COURTESY BROTHER. AND IF YOU STILL CAN'T REALLY "SEE THAT YOU'RE DOING IT"... LOOK AT THE REACTION HERE, ARE WE ALL JUST IMAGINING IT? Have you even read the PT I sent you last night?

Exactly Kit... exactly!

I got through it also (bullinger)... didn't have any trouble with the screwdriver, it was heck getting the stick though... got any more?

there's a room? I clicked on the link and got some foreign website... looked like a nordic language? is this a viking website?

CW, is this somewhere for people to go that are into King Crimson? P.S. I like the new dance... what is it?

OM said: Huh? Is this a "new" oldiesman? I only ask because PROOF has never seemed to change your opinion before on other topics... I would say if you're "open" to evidence, then you're a "newiesman"!

HopeR... I guess it doesn't matter about Lorraine anymore... I think we're going to hear more from Loggia since he already let drop that he'd been talking with Johnny Sack... and it looks like Tony's ready to play hardball with everyone... where was Uncle Jun tonight?

I was commenting to the missus about 2/3 of the way through the show "these actors are really doing a good job"... I really do think they're nailing it... the actress playing Calamity Jane, Robin Weigert, is doing an outstanding job... I don't know HopeR, I like it so far and am anxious to see how it goes... the preview for next week looks pretty promising...

Freakster! you've seen some more of our brothers and sisters in the Amazing Sea Monkeys! Wonderful! I think it would be a wonderful idea to invite them to the weenie roast! If I come, I'm sure bringing some with me! There's few things the Amazing Sea Monkeys love more than a good camping trip! Ah! the fellowship will be sweet! I'm sure you were as blessed to see them as they were to see you! So... they were in the gift shop? Did they say where they were going? Did they seem like they were just passing through on their way somewhere? A lot of us have noticed them lately, and it appears as if they're headed for some kind of gathering... keep us posted! I can't wait to hear the stories that our brother OLM, Socks, comes back to share! We live in exciting Amazing Sea Monkeys times! Life is so good! feel the love, be the love, live the love... of the Amazing Sea Monkeys!

:D-->

OLM Socks! I pray your sojourn in the desert goes well my son as you seek the truth... do you think there's a possibility... a chance... that maybe there's a connection between the two pictures? Perhaps there is a combined hidden meaning? I too, do not think this is mere coincidence! There's something there! It's connected to the Amazing Sea Monkeys! I feel it! Can you? Does anyone else?

well niKa... that's because the forum looks upon your heart... even if you can't find the words... it knows your heart...

happening day to you!

It was "this isn't your father's Oldsmobile"... (sorry myseestorEx, I was watching TV instead of witnessing) :D-->

well... not unless they made a trip to san fran last month...

what's that you said dotdotdot...? I couldn't hear you... did you say you'd "like to get a tattoo by a guy wearing leather chaps"??? or that you'd "like to get a tattoo while wearing leather chaps"???

Hey! I know Sharon! Hi Sharon!

Me too Goey... we got jobs, we always ate, we had furniture... we may not have had abundance of material things, but we always had enough...The believers in town helped us out now and then, that's how it was done back then, we did it for the WOWs when they came to our towns as well... Times were simpler back then... I guess we were "lucky"... :)-->
