  1. King Tut, You must be a righteous man! Your prayers apparently were effectual.
  2. I just saw the pic on page 8 (and the names on page 9). What a great looking crew. Is it my eyes or does Paw look like Jay Leno? (not quite as pronounced jaw...)
  3. Great portfolio... thanks for sharing. :)-->
  4. Simon, You're possessed. -->
  5. Campbell apologizes after DUI arrest Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Glen Campbell's booking photo. View more photos. Beth DeFalco Associated Press Nov. 25, 2003 04:04 PM Country singer Glen Campbell apologized Tuesday after his arrest on suspicion of drunken driving, hit-and-run and assaulting a police officer. "Yesterday I was arrested and put in jail. Even at my age, I learned a valuable lesson," Campbell said in a statement read to the Associated Press by his spokesman Sandy Brokaw. "I apologize to my wife, my family, my friends and my fans." Brokaw would not answer any questions about Campbell or the incident. The 67-year-old entertainer, whose hits included "Rhinestone Cowboy," was arrested Monday at his home after a collision at a Phoenix intersection in which nobody was hurt, police Sgt. Randy Force said. A witness had followed the car, called police on a cell phone and directed them to a home in the upscale Biltmore area, Force said. At a police precinct, police said Campbell kneed an officer while demanding to see the police chief. The Delight, Ark., native was freed early Tuesday on $2,000 bail on charges of extreme drunken driving and hit and run. He did not have to post bond for the arrest on suspicion of assaulting a police officer. Breath tests on Campbell showed he had a blood-alcohol level of 0.20, according to court documents. Extreme drunken driving applies when results are above 0.15 percent. Police said Campbell was minutes away from being released to waiting friends and family when became angry and kneed Sgt. Bill Niles in the thigh. Niles was not hurt. But Campbell's actions prompted police to arrest him again on suspicion of assault. He was taken to jail and appeared in Superior Court just before midnight. "There was a lot of, 'Do you know who I am. I'm Glen Campbell ... I shouldn't be locked up like this.' He asked to speak to the chief of police," Niles said. Court Commissioner Steve Kupiszewski placed him on supervised release, requiring him to check in periodically with court monitors, who could test him for alcohol and drugs. "There's a first time for everything," Campbell told his lawyer, Larry Debus during Monday's hearing. Campbell has acknowledged years of heavy drinking and drug use and discussed his decision to quit in an interview with the AP in August. "Talk about a tool of the devil. That's one of them - drugs," Campbell said. Campbell, who has lived in Arizona for 22 years and has no prior convictions, was hugely successful in the 1960s and early '70s with a string of hits on the pop and country charts, including "Galveston," "Gentle on My Mind," "Wichita Lineman" and the Grammy-winning "By the Time I Get to Phoenix." Force said that while in jail, Campbell could be heard singing "Rhinestone Cowboy."
  6. Long time ago addict... apparently had been dry for a long time. Local 5pm news leads off with this story. Next will probably go to footage of the bushmaster visiting the Phoenix area at the moment.
  7. {{{Tommy T}}} (and let's not leave out {{{Tommy S -- snow cones for everyone}}} TT, It was a dark and stormy night... (that's how Snoopy starts out his stories... I like Snoopy better than DB).
  8. By the time he got back to his home in Phoenix... he had posted bail...

    Roy, Dot's right... you need to understand that even people here who are kind are still not trained. Dot suggests finding someone you can trust. I agree. Sometimes circumstances beyond our control happen (John 14) and it helps to have someone who can understand the Christian AND the mental health issues. Depression is nothing to be afraid to get treated and it is something that should not be ignored. If you have profound sadness, you should find a good, trained pastor and/or licensed counselor who can help you identify where you are at in terms of issues that you might benefit from professional insight. Right now, I am being treated for depression, as things HAVE happened to me beyond my control and I have had profound and prolonged sadness that has impacted my physical health. It is nothing that I am ashamed of and nothing anyone should be. And good professional help is not necessarily difficult to find and can be very helpful in helping you figure out how YOU want to proceed in life. God Bless you Roy. I appreciate your gentle example.
  10. Simon, it's Wichita, not Emporia! And you're a woofer not a lineman.
  11. This evening at his Phoenix home, not far from Simonzelotes' house... http://www.azcentral.com http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/112...pbell25-ON.html
  12. You better have brought snow cones! Where the heck have you been? ...btw, good to see you oh Strange One... :)-->
  13. Kyrsilis answered twit well. For the purpose of remembering the 40th anniv, it doesn't matter what Kennedy's record was, it was an event that hit to the core of America's soul. However, thank you Trefor for your insight. btw, the 2hr television show that had been on ABC was running on A & E yesterday...
  14. Fourth Grade, Sacred Heart School, Rochester NY, announced over the school public address system. I remember the school uniforms and a clear day, weather wise. I also figure one other GSer may have been in the same school that day, but in 3rd grade... both of us got into twi, but did so starting at different times and in different places.

  15. I'm surprised no one has cited California's new governator, one the most profound lines in the first Terminator movie -- F__k y_o, _$$ hole! (it's the way he said it...)
  16. I remember Loy telling us that people would say WE were a cult, but WE really weren't. good grief.
  17. You mean you were even born in 72?
  18. Old age.... I have a few more gray hairs and whiskers now than I did two years ago, however.
  19. Simon, There you go daydreaming again. -->
  20. And last I heard, he was doing so in Hawaii... either that or making PBS documentaries on baseball.
  21. niKa, did you tell your students to go easy on Baylor this week? That MIGHT be a more effective approach in this case.
  22. Well, everyone knows that we welcome the prodigal brethern and sisterns back into the fellowsheep! Hopefully, he did not suffer a lobotomy of the cpu.
