Here you go Squatch, your seat next to me and the bottle.

ReplyDeleteSEX AFTER DEATH ....
ReplyDeleteA couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other of the afterlife.
Their biggest fear was that there was no afterlife at all.
After a long life together, the husband was the first to die. True to his word, he made the first contact,
" Marion ... Marion "
"Is that you, Bob?"
"Yes, I've come back like we agreed."
"That's wonderful! What's it like?"
"Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast and then it's off to the golf course ..
I have sex again, bathe in the warm sun and then have sex a couple of more times.
Then I have lunch (you'd be proud - lots of greens) another romp around the golf course,
then pretty much have sex the rest of the afternoon. After supper, it's back to golf course again.
Then it's more sex until late at night. I catch some much needed sleep and then the next day
it starts all over again"
"Oh, Bob you must be in Heaven!"
"Not exactly ... I'm a rabbit on a golf course in Arizona "
I need a glass of wine. Make it a double. THANKS!
ReplyDeleteHere you go Squatch, your seat next to me and the bottle.
ReplyDeleteHeck yeahs.

ReplyDeleteI prefer it in the bottle anyway. Thanks!
Brandy, I've got to go to Nordstrom. I simply have no choice. : ) (Actually I'm returning a few things.)
ReplyDeleteI've set up a second thread to publish at 6:30PM PST; if you need it to go up sooner than that, please see if one of the team members familiar with the control panel would be willing to go in and make it publish earlier (Pi Guy, JCM...maybe some others know Blogspot, too - maybe Killian, etc.)...I'll be back as soon as I can! (I'm forcing my BFF Bare to go with me and help me carry a big box of boots, so he won't be around until I am. : )
Here's your bottle, Cal
ReplyDeleteErik, enjoy!
Nordstrom....I need a new purse.
ReplyDeleteGotcha, CC. See you later.

Just kidding with you. How are you Army Wife and what would you like?
ReplyDeleteErik The Red,
ReplyDeletethat reminds me of a story I read somewhere, don't know where anymore.
True or not ... very funny.
Top THIS One For A Speeding Ticket
Two California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on I-15, just north of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar. One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill. The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then turned off.
Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.
Back at the CHP Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander. The reply came back in true USMC style: ---- Thank you for your letter. We can now complete the file on this incident.
You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down.
Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to your equipment location. Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position.
The pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them, since the video systems on these jets are very high tech. Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar. It appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his holster.
Thank you for your concern. Semper Fi
Joseph Mormando LtCol USMC
An Obituary printed in the London Times
ReplyDeleteToday we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was,since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy
charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly
children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could
not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in
her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone If you still remember him, pass this on.
Odierno: US May Never Declare Victory in Iraq
ReplyDeleteThe top American commander in Iraq said Thursday it is unlikely the U.S. can declare victory by the time forces leave at the end of 2011.

Obama's Deputy National Security Adviser Going on Leave
ReplyDeletePresident Obama's deputy national security adviser has gone on leave in order to return to active duty in the U.S. Navy, the White House announced today.
Mark Lippert, who serves as deputy national security director and National Security Council chief of staff, is passionate about the Navy, Mr. Obama said in a statement today, so his decision was not a surprise.

Welcome ladycatnip !
ReplyDeleteWhat would you like to have to drink? First is on me.
Evening, ladycatnip.
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you.
Nice to see you Lady Catnip. Any particular flavor of wine cooler?
ReplyDeleteHere is the one I was looking for Cal
ReplyDeleteExcerpted from "Sled Driver," by SR-71/Blackbird pilot Brian Shul:
I'll always remember a certain radio exchange that occurred one day as Walt and I were screaming across southern California 13 miles high. We were monitoring various radio transmissions from other aircraft as we entered Los Angeles Center's airspace. Though they didn't really control us, they did monitor our movement across their scope.
I heard a Cessna ask for a readout of its groundspeed. "90 knots," Center replied.
Moments later a Twin Beech required the same. "120 knots," Center answered.
We weren't the only ones proud of our speed that day, as almost instantly an F-18 smugly transmitted, "Ah, Center, Dusty 52 requests groundspeed readout." There was a slight pause. "525 knots on the ground, Dusty."
Another silent pause. As I was thinking to myself how ripe a situation this was, I heard the familiar click of a radio transmission coming from my back-seater. It was at that precise moment I realized Walt and I had become a real crew, for we were both thinking in unison.
"Center, Aspen 20, you got a groundspeed readout for us?" There was a longer-than-normal pause. "Aspen, I show one thousand seven hundred forty-two knots." No further inquiries were heard on that frequency.
Ladycatnip,
ReplyDeleteWelcome!

ReplyDeleteIranian Opposition Leader Warns Against Sanctions
ReplyDeleteIn the statement, published on opposition Web sites on Monday, Mr. Moussavi said foreign countries should refrain from any measures that would harm the Iranian people.
“This is not sanctions against a government,” Mr. Moussavi wrote. “This would impose further pain on a nation that has already suffered a great deal by its schizophrenic rulers. We are against any kind of sanctions on people.”
Welcome catniplady!
ReplyDeleteHow about some Dire Straits.
ReplyDeleteDeMint Honduras trip nixed by Kerry
ReplyDeleteSenate Foreign Relations Committee chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.) has blocked approval of Sen. Jim DeMint's (R-S.C.) planned congressional delegation trip to Honduras.
Earlier on Thursday, DeMint had announced he would lead a delegation to the country ridden with political strife tomorrow.
The freshman member of the Foreign Relations panel tweeted this afternoon:
@JohnKerry (Foreign Rel. chair) trying to hide truth to protect Zelaya, blocking our fact-finding trip to Honduras at last minute
No U.S. Senator has yet been to Honduras to assess facts of crisis. @JohnKerry & Obama admin using bullying tactics to hide truth.
Kerry and DeMint are on opposite sides of the debate over whether the now-deposed President of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, should be returned to power.
Oh Happy Day
ReplyDeletePresident Obama seen as weak in Europe. I'll post real links again when my regular computer is on the mend...
ReplyDeleteBut that may soon change — as it has already at the Elysée, and, for that matter, in government offices in Berlin and in Brussels and in the eastern capitals. In those places, Barack Obama, the man who practically invented reinvention, is himself being reinvented as an ugly American. Not because he’s seen as loud and aggressive, but because he’s seen as weak.

IMHO we should all take an example of the Australians!
ReplyDeleteNational pride
From Economist.com
Who admires their country the most?
JUST as some people have a better self-image than others, so it seems do countries. In a poll of 33 nations by the Reputation Institute, a branding consultancy, people were asked to rate their trust, admiration, respect and pride in their country. The results are presented as an index. By this measure, Australians are almost as exuberant about their country as they are about sport, and lead the list. They are followed closely by Canadians. Americans, normally a patriotic and positive bunch, are perhaps being affected by the recession. The limited self-regard of Brazilians belies their reputation as a sunny, carefree people, but the Japanese are gloomiest of all.

Jorline: A police bust?
ReplyDeleteI _am_ here, Jorline. I'm reading an article over at American Thinker entitled "Sympathy for the Devil", taking a look at Obama from a psych angle:
ReplyDeleteHow concerned should we be about Obama? Is he a potential dictator with a weird cult following who could destroy this country?
To put it more bluntly, does Obama have the potential for inflicting evil on us? Or, if he's a puppet, are the ones holding the strings malevolent?
These may be the most crucial and urgent questions of our times. Is Obamaphobia a legitimate reaction to an angry president with a vendetta, surrounded by psycho czars? Or is the imagination running amok?
Some Gavin deBecker in there, mention of utilizing instinct and fear; my kind of stuff. Here's the link:
