  1. Ray Nagin, the Mayor of New Orleans was asked his views on Roe vs Wade. He said he didn't care how people got back to their houses.
  2. I spend more time on the computer than I do watching tv. We only have cable tv because I wanted broadband internet.
  3. Yep, History Channel, AMC and Comedy Central. The other channels can go to the devil as far as I am concerned. Wished I had the Military Channel and BBC 3.
  4. The shooting did not really hurt him but when Cheney started gutting him the real damage occured.
  5. Watched it in Iowa. Big 12 connections had me rooting for Texas. Glad they won.
  6. Cable here. Site slow until I clicked this thread on. Go figure.
  7. Happy Birthday. Thank you for defending our nation and kicking ass!
  8. I'd knida like to get a new estate. I do not need a suv and I am sick of minivans. But that Volvo X70 is pretty hot as well as the new Ford.
  9. "Chopsticks?" "No thanks. I brought my own. I don't want to get SARS."
  10. William Wallace You scored 75 Wisdom, 73 Tactics, 66 Guts, and 45 Ruthlessness! Like William Wallace, chances are you have no problem charging a larger, better trained, better equipped, better armed and armored English army with a band of naked drunken Scotsmen. I'm not contesting that you have balls. It's your brain function I'm worried about. Scottish soldier and national hero. The first historical record of Wallace's activities concerns the burning of Lanark by Wallace and 30 men in May, 1297, and the slaying of the English sheriff, one of those whom Edward I of England had installed in his attempt to make good his claim to overlordship of Scotland. After the burning of Lanark many joined Wallace's forces, and under his leadership a disciplined army was evolved. Wallace marched on Scone and met an English force of more than 50,000 before Stirling Castle in Sept., 1297. The English, trying to cross a narrow bridge over the Forth River, were killed as they crossed, and their army was routed. Wallace crossed the border and laid waste several counties in the North of England. In December he returned to Scotland and for a short time acted as guardian of the realm for the imprisoned king, John de Baliol . In July, 1298, Edward defeated Wallace and his army at Falkirk, and forced him to retreat northward. His prestige lost, Wallace went to France in 1299 to seek the aid of King Philip IV, and he possibly went on to Rome. He is heard of again fighting in Scotland in 1304, but there was a price on his head, and in 1305 he was captured by Sir John de Menteith. He was taken to London in Aug., 1305, declared guilty of treason, and executed. The best-known source for the life of Wallace is a long romantic poem attributed to Blind Harry, written in the 15th century.

  12. Expensive little buggers they are.
  13. The avatar is of a great Pyrenese dog with a tobacco pipe. I lifted if off pyrnet.com after aquiring one of those furry bastards. My other son's school got so sick of Quin having headaches and hanging out in the nurse's office that they asked us to bring them a bottle of Tylenol for his pain.
  14. Alternative title: Why A School Should Not Have Two Female Co-Principals Memo my son brought home today. Dear Parents/Guardians, We want to inform you about a situation that happened at the end of 8th grade lunch today. A teacher smelled smoke and investigated the smell which was coming from one of our boys' restrooms. The teacher found that someone had lit a piece of paper on fire and then placed it in a urinal. The fire was out when the teacher found it We followed district procedure: 1)pulled our fire alarm, 2) evacuated all students and staff, 3) called 911, and 4) notified the Des Moines Public Schools Security. In these situations our first concern is the safety and welfare of our students and staff. The fire department responded as well as the Des Moines Public Schools Security. They investigated the restroom and called the arson investigators. The building was cleared for occupancy by the fire department and students and staff reentered the building. Lunch schedules were adjusted for students and staff. Regular classes were resumed. We wish to commend all of our children on their behavior outside and inside the building. They were very cooperative and helpful. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at 242-8449. Sincerely, Gail Soesbe, Co-Principal Sue Marcucci, Co-Principal
  15. You gotta stop Rita. I noticed that my safe Midwestern home is on that map. Seriously, good luck, you will be in our thoughts and prayers.
  16. God be with you. May his hand shield your farm from Rita's fury.
  17. I can get a case of beer cold in 10 minutes without using fire.
  18. My friend's wife is from Munich and she says they take wheat beer and mix it with lemonade and Sprite.
  19. Happy B-Day Fritz. And if it is not your birthday, Happy Unbirthday!
  20. Friends of ours were wedded on Saturday. Great to see all our friends at one setting. First time we have seen many of them in a long time. Found myself and many others along the wall by the kegs. Needless to say we were a few beers short of becoming skallywagged. Today we had our company picnic at AdventureLand (local version of Worlds of Fun, Six Flags ect). Due to hangover I elected to watch the youngest two children since they would not do the big rollercoasters and spaceshot. So we did every water ride, three to be exact, four if you count "Infant Ocean." But it was hard to drag their arses out of the park.
