Points and interest are but I'm not sure about appraisal fees.

2) What did this guy do to piss off the secret service since they should have been there watching everyone with a gun and everything around the VP.....no warning shouted like DON'T SHOOT when they saw him swing his gun toward the other hunter. I guess the secret service agents were too slow or too ...

Does anyone else find it funny that the guy questioning the use of "God Bless you" said it might not be "kosher?"

This kind of stuff goes on for both sides. August 5th when both candidates were in Sioux City, Iowa, Bush had an open rally that drew about 10,000 while Kerry had an invitation only "round table" for about 350 businessmen and labor leaders. What I am curious to know is if the same news station ...

I've never been very fond of Mangos. The flavor itself is ok but the slimey, stringy texture turns me off. Maybe blended in a drink they would be ok.

I highly recommend the Welsh trilogy by Sharon Kay Penman. It starts with "Here be Dragons." It's historical fiction set amidst the struggle between Wales and England in the 12th - 13th century. No magic or hideous monsters (except for some of the English Kings) but lots of battles and castles and ...

LOL at the joke

Wow at the pics! If they are real. I'm thinking there could be some photochopping going on.

This gets my vote for best thread title ever!

So, is your local press trying to pass off old Churchill quotes as their own or did they give him proper credit?

Because the piece of equipment that was malfuncitoning was his transponder. Its pretty passive from the pilot's point of view so he's not really gonna know if it's working or not. He just dials in a number which then allows ATC to identify him on the radar screen. Probably more info than you wanted ...

Wow, the things you learn on the DBB! As luck would have it I have an exterior faucet to replace.

Great idea Ace... the "it's not my fault, they told me to do it" defence. It seems very popular in the US these days.

117, I stink. I had trouble finding the "b" everytime. It really make you aware of the letters you don't type very often.

I like that one... because she is one HOT f**king reporter. Who is she.. and what station is she on?

I think that is Linda Vesser from Fox News.

I tend to agree with Warlock. If it's not in 6.1 (and hardly anything is) I doubt you will get anything out of the center rear. However, you might pose the question here... http://www.hometheaterspot.com/htsthreads/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=UBB5 I received some very good advice from there when I was ...

I say we outsource to another country and let Flabby Chick do it. He seems to be a mature, level headed kinda dude.

T-Bone

LOL! That only applies if you are going to a wedding, funeral or some other spiffy occassion since Levis are apparently formal wear for Klingons.

I'll be the first to admit I can be a bit of a geek at times, but I can't hold a candle to this...

But... oh, never mind...

Yeah, it's huge good grief it might gnaw that guys leg in to!

T-Bone

Wow, for a minute there I thought this joker was really huge then I noticed there was a little forced perspective trickery going on. When you compare it to the partial hand that is holding it instead of the dude's leg in the background its not quite as scary. Still pretty big though.

Ace, does the Civil Air Patrol pay? I thought it was something like a volunteer organization.

The target date for turning over the government of Iraq to Iraqis. Although, it may be in jeopardy now.

Speaking of "space food." I remember when I was a kid and we went to the Huntsville Space and Rocket Center and I was all excited about buying some freeze dried ice cream from the gift shop. Of course it turned out to be nasty. Anyone else ever tried that mess?

T-Bone

Actually, I think the microwave oven was invented by a guy that was in the Air Force. I think the story is that he was working on a RADAR installation and noticed that a candy bar in his pocket melted when he got close to the RADAR dish. He then went on to invent what was initially known as the ...

It always surprises me when people complain about space exploration. Over the years the side benefits alone have been enormous. Things like; ceramic cookware, remote health monitoring, velcro, huge advances in computer technology, freeze-dreid food, scratch resistant lenses are all byproducts of the ...

Now that's funny!

Well, at least it's good to know my 2 year old is participating in a healthy activity...

Try freezing a mug and pouring your beer into it. It helps keep it cold on a hot day.

Glad to hear he's ok Cuda. I can imagine how scary it is to get a call that your kid has been in an accident.

T-Bone

Uuhh... yeah

1 MPH = .869 Kts
conversely
1 Kts = 1.15 MPH

Go back and look at your original post. You were converting from MPH to Knots so you need to multiply by .869 instead of 1.15. You had it bass ackwards.

BTW, I'm a Flight Instructor.

T-Bone

I think you've got it backwards Ace.

1 MPH = .869 Kts

5000 MPH = ~4345 Kts

That's still fast though!

Dangit! I looked in the cafe to see if sombody had already posted it but I didn't go through the other forums.

Oh well, once again T-Bone is a day late and a dollar short.

It was just announced that due to the bomb found buried under the railway in France, the French administration has raised the Terror Alert Status from "Run" to "Hide."

I forgot about "The Sting"

It definitely deserves honorable mention on my list, if not top 5.

Wow, it's really hard to narrow it down to five, but I'll give it a shot... Casablanca Saving Private Ryan Outlaw Josey Wales Notting Hill The Empire Strikes Back (if only for the impact it had on me as the first Star Wars movie I saw when I was little) Others that deserve mentioning... Raiders of ...

Maybe the perceived disparity between the reported unemployment numbers is caused by the context surrounding them. I don't recall what the numbers in the 3 years leading up to the Clinton campaign were. Were they trending up or down? The numbers leading up to the current campaign were a lot lower ...
