FC Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 We miss you guys! Tye posts: I Bring Unto You...... ... tidings of good cheer! For this day......a KING is born unto thee....Rejoice! for he brings with him Salvation, Peace and Joy! A Good Christmas to all who read these words, BTR 9 Jul 2006 Read TopicA Strange Feeling: I went to a party today, it was the 30th. anniversary of the founding of the local Viet Nam Veterans Group. Myself and three others founded the group because we were tired of some of the WWII and Korea making cracks about us not being in a "real" war, the local D.A.V. allowed us to use a room in their building to meet and set up a small museum of personal items and bring-back stuff. As the years have passed we started our own version of "THE WALL" with names of local guys that died since coming home. We had a small lunch and popped the top on some refreshments and talked about guys that we knew who are gone, I noted that we were almost down to the same number of members we started with.....due to death. None of us ever thought about the fact that our organization would end with us....as it began, we no longer meet once a month as some of us have moved and no longer can make a monthly trip to the Valley. Twice a year now seems to be about right, as we said our so longs and shook hands the following toast was made by yours truly, " Let the last man standing turn out the lights, as none will come here after you". BTR 24 Jul 2005 Read TopicI Am? I note that beside my name there is a short little sentence, it says; "ADVANCED MEMBER"......it has been some years since I had someone take notice of my member....and to say "ADVANCED MEMBER" made me feel special until I noticed that there were others with ADVANCED MEMBERS............is it the blue background? is that blue tint from viagra radiation? ________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ FRITZ Posts Fritz Checking Out We just wanted to let everyone know that fritz passed away Saturday night. He truly enjoyed spending time with everyone on this message board. 5 Dec 2007 Read TopicFriendship Well, at least in this person's view------- Are you tired of those sissy "friendship" poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship. You will see no cutesy little smiley faces on this card - Just the stone cold truth Of great friendship. 1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry who made you sad. 2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you. 3. When you smile -- I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in. 4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get. 5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be, until you quit whining. 6. When you are confused -- I will use little words. 7. When you are sick -- I will tell you to s tay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have. 8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass. This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end. "Why?" you may ask. "Because you're my friend!" Friendship is like peeing your pants: Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth. fritz 5 Dec 2007 Read TopicA Christmas Story A Christmas Story 'Twas the night before Christmas--Old Santa was pissed. He cussed out the elves and threw down his list. Miserable little brats, ungrateful little jerks. I have a good mind to scrap the whole works! I've busted my ass for damn near a year, Instead of 'Thanks Santa'--what do I hear? The old lady bitches cause I work late at night. The elves want more money--The reindeer all fight. Rudolph got drunk and goosed all the maids. Donner is pregnant and Vixen has AIDS. And just when I thought that things would get better Those assholes from the IRS sent me a letter, They say I owe taxes--if that ain't damn funny Who the hell ever sent Santa Claus any money? And the kids these days--they all are the pits They want the impossible--Those mean little shits I spent a whole year making wagons and sleds Assembling dolls...Their arms, legs and heads I made a ton of yo yo's--No request for them, They want computers and robots...they think - I'm IBM! Flying through the air...dodging the trees Falling down chimneys and skinning my knees I'm quitting this job there's just no enjoyment I'll sit on my fat ass and draw unemployment. There's no Christmas this year now you know the reason, I found me a blonde. I'm going SOUTH for the season fritz 1 Dec 2007 Read TopicThis Woman Should Run For President "Written by a housewife from New Jersey and sounds like it! This is one ticked off lady. "Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death t hat day, or didn't they? And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I don't. I don't care at all. I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11. I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat. I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques. I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs. I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights. In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care. When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care. When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care. When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care. And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don't care !! If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior! If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add: "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem." -- Ronald Reagan I have another quote that I would like to add AND.......I hope you forward all this. "If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under." Also by.. Ronald Reagan One last thought for the day: In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said: "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out." Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ 2. The American G. I. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom. YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM. AMEN! " submitted by fritz 28 Nov 2007 Read TopicProfound Thinking To all you old law dogs now just lyin' in the shade, current pistoleros and other fervent Second Amendment believers: I would rather be your friend, but if you are not interested in that, I am prepared to be a capable and efficient enemy. This is the law: The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental. As John Steinbeck once said : 1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you. 2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck. 3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy. 4. America is not at war. The U.S. Military is at war. America is at the Mall. 5. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away. (but shoot first anyway, then call 911) 6. A reporter did a human interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him 'Why do you carry a 45?'. The Ranger responded with, 'Because they don't make a .46.' 7. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity. 8. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm. 'Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?' 'NO Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my rifle.' (Winchester Model 94 30-30 Cal. and loaded with Winchester Silver Tips, no doubt). 9. Beware the man who only has one gun. HE PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!! AMEN! To this I will add my comments. I was once asked by a lady visiting if I had a gun in the house. To which I said I did. She said 'well I certainly hope it isn't loaded!' To which I said, 'of course it is loaded.' She then asked, 'Are you that afraid of some one evil coming into your house?' My reply was,'No not at all. I am not afraid of the house catching afire either, but I have fire extinguishers around, and THEY ARE ALL LOADED. fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
