Brother Speed

I have a pretty good Marvin the Martian costume that my wife and I made. It got loaned out last year and I got the pics. They aren't digital so I will have to find a scanner so that I can post them in the cafe after I return home. Perhaps next year I'll be able to wear it and play chaperone to some kids. I spose it'd be kewl to go trick or treating with a 6.5 foot tall Marvin. :lol:

Short Answer: Nope

To answer your question: He was born in Kearney, Missouri. He was shot unarmed at his home in St. Joseph, Missouri (under the assumed name of Tom Howard.) He was standing on a chair, straightening a picture. I could be wrong knowing the untrustworthiness of history. I personally believe that Jesse James was retaliating against big Army for his stance on the Civil War. Big Railroad got robbed for transporting big Army money. Big Army and Big Railroad branded Jesse an outlaw. History states that the Pinkertons were called in to capture Jesse, but failed. A reward of 10,000 was then offered. Friends of Jesse, Bob Ford and his brother Charlie couldn't put the reward out of their minds, so they collected. Bob and Charlie were charged with murder trying to collect the reward then sentenced to hang but pardoned by the governor. I believe shenanigans were at play. There was no genuine reward, but a ruse to flush out Jesse masterminded by Big Army and Big Railroad. Moral of this story: Don't mess with Big Army nor Big Railroad.

If you can read this, thank a teacher!

hrmmm, Belle knows me so well. ;)

Well, big railroad can claim whatever they want, truth or fiction, seeing as they trumped up lies to get Jesse James shot in the back by a long time friend of Mr. James.

Happy Birthday dearest Belle!! BTW how many candles do I put on your cake?

Sorry, no I do not know how. I have an idea on how I could try, but I will save that for later. I'm using a gov't computer in Iraq which prevents me from using quite a few sites even some considered reasonable. Also, the internet connectivity is very spradic and often times nonworking. However, my deployment in Iraq is coming to completion real soon. It is now common belief rather than pure rumor that I will be home before turkey day. Woohoo! To avoid delay of game, George, I relinquish my turn. It may be some days before I can post again.

Yep, really easy. The first is a picture of a cut of steak. The second is three airplanes flying in formation. A plane buff was looking over my shoulder and he said, "Nice Fokkers!" I laughed and said thanks.:lol: So my guess is that its "Meet the Fokkers"

All y'all are talkin bout my avatar aint ya. And Shell, it's Marvin the Martian. And he lives at my house too.

Still not dead. It...just...wont...die... All hail THE.

Once upon a not too long ago my wife was in her office during a power outage. Her eyes were drying out from her contacts so she reached up on her shelf for some Vising eye drops. Guaging by feel she thought she grabbed her little bottle of Vising. It ended up being super glue instead of Vising. Yes, very painful, but... Did you know that human tears are a natural solvent for super glue? The poison control center told us that so obviously my wife wasn't the first person ever to put super glue in her eyes. Anyway, she lost her contact but not her eyesight. I had a dork moment earlier this deployment. I was using a pressure sprayer to clean off our vehicle from a week's worth of dust accumulation. My hands got dirty so I used the sprayer to rinse off my hands. I lacerated my hand something fierce, but I didn't require stitches. I doubt that I will ever repeat that mistake.

...and if it doesn't fit with your current belief system you can add, change or delete a word. It worked for Eve. Oh now it fits like a hand in a glove, with a scientific precision and a mathematical accuracy. Just omit the whole verse, chapter, or book by claiming that it's a direct forgery. Matthew is so full of forgeries we can just chuck the whole book. Oh now it fits like a hand in a glove, with a scientific precision and a mathematical accuracy. No the comma belongs here. Oh now it fits like a hand in a glove, with a scientific precision and a mathematical accuracy. Its throughly not thoroughly. Oh now it fits like a hand in a glove, with a scientific precision and a mathematical accuracy. Its manifestations not gifts. Oh now it fits like a hand in a glove, with a scientific precision and a mathematical accuracy. If you disagree, just renew your mind. Oh now it fits like a hand in a glove, with a scientific precision and a mathematical accuracy. That is TWI doctrine of biblical accuracy in a nutshell. I could go on an on with more examples, but the end result would still be [Oh now it fits like a hand in a glove, with a scientific precision and a mathematical accuracy.]

Sorry Belle, Momentary lapses in rational thought processes do not qualify you to be anything more that Dork of the Moment. But you can marry someone who also has an income but no chillins and you can be a Dink. d - double i - income n - no k - kids :lol: :lol: My wife and I are dinks. Therefore our pets are our chillins.

(((Maureen))) I know the feeling well. First is was not warmer than 75 when I left Idaho to go to Texas. Then It was not warmer than 95 when I left to go to Kuwait. Then it didn't get below 95 in Kuwait when we left for Iraq. Then it warmed up to 135 in Iraq. Now when I get back to Idaho somewhere beteen turkey day and xmas, there will probably be snow on the ground. So I guess that I will assume a chrystalline structure again. My advice to you for travelling to weather extremes? Drink water, much! Travel safe Maureen and we'll see you again here at the Cafe.

I'm confused. So is it "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" Or is it "Judy in Disguise with Glasses" Which song is freaking you out Moony?

Nope The best or the most perfect time to leave twi was the first day before you started. The second best time to leave twi is any day after you started.

Brother Speed's definition of 'inner ugliness' of a woman includes but is not limited to: . engages in emotional outbursts more than saying 'I love you' . has all the personality of a dial tone . cannot boil water without burning it . is more fridgid and less comforting than an icecube . has no sense of humor . thinks gifts on holidays are more important than the holidays themselves . selfish is her middle name . instead of a perma-grin, she has a perma-scowl

My sister-in-law has a wood-carved plaque that's inscribed "FAT is only DEEP SKIN" :lol:

umm, twi is bad, m-kay? twi is the umm, the way international, m-kay? twi is a cult, m-kay? cults are bad, m-kay? so just so we're on the same page uhh, umm, twi is a bad cult, m-kay? ok, so I watch South Park, sue me.

Yeah Jet. Why did Julia Roberts marry Lyle Lovett anyway? They both are extremely wealthy in their own right. That reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode where Donna Douglas (Ellie Mae from the tv series The Beverly Hillbillies) is surrounded by 'ugly' but she believes that she is ugly and that they are beautiful. So she's having plastic surgery to look as they do. The surgery doesn't work, so she's relocated to an area where she can be accepted with the other "unfortunate ugly" ones.

But that reminds me of an incident that happened on my wow field. We had witnessed to a couple who lived a few blocks away from us. I don't remember their names. They were laying in bed late one morning when a burglar came. The burglar kicked open the front door and grabbed their little 13" b&w tv. As the burglar turned to leave, the man lept out of bed grabbing his .22 cal rifle, pointing it at the burglar, shouted,"Drop it!" The burglar refused to obey and left but not before three shots rang out. The man "Rifleman"ed three shots from the hip. 911 was called and the police responded. They found the burglar about a block and a half away bleeding from two wounds (one in the shoulder and one in the kidney) and the tv about 50 yards from him. The burglar was rushed to the hospital. The man and the police were scouring the vicinity for the third shot. After a couple of hours, the third shot was found. At the hospital in the kidney of the burglar. The burglar had two bullets one behind the other in the same kidney and one bullet in the shoulder. Amazing I thought. From the hip even. Even though the little tv was dropped and the casing cracked, it still worked!

Excuse me Pirate? I'm confused. Shot for locking our door? or Shot for not being at home when we're being robbed? Or the burglar would have been shot if caught breaking into the home? Oh and like we were allowed to have guns on the wow field?

No Belle! You are anything but stupid! I have to echo the small town feeling. I grew up in one. Aw heck, the largest town in my state is just over 200,000 people. Most small towns are less than 5,000 people. I went wow in '85 from a small town of 300 to south FL a county of 3 million. Yeppers, culture shock. For the longest time I was known as "Gary from Carey." Our apartment got robbed about a month before we returned to the roa. That was a challenge. The crook(s) even got our plane tickets! They broke the window to get in. The crook(s) must have had a copy of our schedule and knew exactly where what they grabbed was hidden because he/they only had a 15 minute time frame to work with to rob us. Anyway, we had a yard sale, and a reissue of our plane tickets, so we made it back to the roa. So much for a locked door!

15, 20, 30, 40. Yeppers all them ages too! Hey! It's mine aint it?!
