Saturday, October 24, 2009

A place to discuss the stories that aren't making news, ask questions, complain bitterly about this site and its members, or just screw around. The only rule: Be nice or be funny.

GAME DAY!

Play 'til the whistle blows!

Last game of the regular season.

Then some sort of playoffs.

6-0, second ranked Montana plays Sacramento State. Sac has never beaten us in their whole time in the BSC. We own them.

If South Carolina and Tenn. had any kind of an offense, Bama would have two losses.

If Alabama had any kind of QB, they beat Florida.

And all other comers.

Is this one of THE saddest stats you've EVAR seen?:

"In 2007, $4.7 million worth of American flags were imported by the United States, the vast majority of that amount ($4.3 million) from China. The U.S. exported $2.4 million in U.S. flags that year, with half going to Mexico. - Provided by The World Almanac 2009"

We've been making sure all our U.S. flags are made in USA!

Appros of nothing in particular, have any of you noticed how the voice Geico used for the pothole in their newest commercial sounds a whole lot like Nancy Grace? I really loath that woman.

#15--Ya gotta love the irony, Nanc. So whose fault is this? I'm guessing any corporation can make a U.S. flag? So we can't really blame anyone, can we?

BUSH: I REGRET STANDING IN FRONT OF THE "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE" BANNER

President Bush was in Canada yesterday to speak at a luncheon of the Montreal Board of Trade. Approximately 300 protesters gathered outside the venue, blowing plastic horns, throwing shoes, and burning the former president in effigy....

Inside the regal Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel, a relaxed-appearing Bush spoke with very few regrets about some of the most controversial moves of his presidency....

Bush also said that he regretted appearing in front of a "Mission Impossible" sign in 2003 during an address about the Iraq war.

It's good, having this buffoon shoot his mouth off every once in a while just to remind us how fortunate we are that he's drifting off into the obcurity and disgrace he werked so hard to attain for himself.

Doc

Saw your post, couldn't believe he really said that, went looking and sure enough.

Good Lord.

With that as my inspiration, I think I'll go out and break eighty today. (I'll settle for an eighty one.)

God Damn, that's funny.

WalMart won't sell it if it's made here. They might lose $.27 cents.

The last flags we purchased were from the Dollar Store - and they were made in the U.S. - I believe walmart is now selling ONLY U.S. made flags.

It's like here in Ark - we'll see Tyson chicken trucks traveling towards us and traveling in the same direction - WTF?

In Californistan at the height of the lumber industry, the same would go for those trucks headed to lumber mills.

Somebody needs to get their poop in a group if this country EVER hopes to recover from decades of stupidity.

That's why Arkansas is among those parts of the country dedicated as "Set-Aside Regions." U.S> Border Pagtrol to be issued vicious dogs shortly with construction of electrified fence to follow.

I'm very glad to hear that! I have a very nice one for the porch and don't shop often for flags, but last time I did it said "Made In Canada". I didn't buy it. Nothing against Canadians, but I'm not buying an American flag from anywhere but made here.

That was my intention, yes. And yet you trigger another thought, via which we might be able to save ourselves a pretty hefty chunk of change. No need for lots of Border Patrol, maybe replace the vicious dogs with vicious dog recordings, keep the electrified fence humming only every three or four hours or so IF we get them to thinking they're keeping us OUT.

Timex, you've earned the thanks of a grateful nation!

Where do I pick up my Medal of Freedom from a grateful nation, Doc, or do I have to really screw up first? Oh, wait! That was the last administration...

I just saw a funny commercial with a guy tossing and turning in bed, flipping his pillows over and over and his wife says, "I hate to tell you, but there's no credit fairy!" There was more, but it led to this place:

creditfairy.com

This is just a public service announcement in case someone here may need help with some monetary issues - they look to have many remedies.
