Never seen it. 3+ hours and I'm about half way through. Pretty good stuff.

Big Bob Mitchum rocks Omaha Beach in this one.

The sky is falling?

My opening post stated, to quote myself, "this time it might be true."

I've seen that pic before. A little known fact about the picture is that just moments earlier, Jeff and Jay had been breast feeding off of the giant. True story.

Something like this?

offer is closed, thanks for playing.

Speaking of overrated, I've just procured an excellent DVD of Beatles Tokyo 6-30-66 show (dark suits) and will send copies to first 3 to pm with address.

Aw, go quote yourself!

Unfortunately, this time it might be true. From tomorrow's NY Times:

Some in G.O.P. Say Iran Threat Is Played Down

By MARK MAZZETTI

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23

Actually, it was meant along the lines of the Beatles being overrated, Wayne Gretzky/Michael Jordan being overrated. When you're held up as God, by definition it's impossible to live up to peoples' expectations.

Don't think we need a poll for this one.

I know it hurts, Jeff. Better you heard it from us.

Google "Wilco" and "ghey" and this image comes up:

No, That's Not a Penis Pump, Mom. Really

CHICAGO (AP) -- Cook County prosecutors say a 29-year-old man traveling with his mother desperately didn't want her to know he'd packed a sexual aid for their trip to Turkey. So he told security it was a bomb, officials said.

Madin Azad Amin was stopped by officials on Aug. 16 after guards found an object in his baggage that resembled a grenade, prosecutors said.

When officers asked him to identify it, Amin said it was a bomb, said Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Lorraine Scaduto.

He later told officials he'd lied about the item because his mother was nearby and he didn't want her to hear that it was part of a penis pump, Scaduto said.

He's been charged with felony disorderly conduct, said Andrew Conklin, a spokesman with the Cook County state's attorney's office.

Amin faces up to three years in prison if convicted.

back at ya, guys!

Boy Scouts Save Toddler From River

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- A troop of Boy Scouts on a camping trip saved an 18-month-old girl who had fallen in a river upstream from them and was floating face down, officials said.

The boys were swimming in the Platte River at Two Rivers State Recreation Area, about 20 miles west of Omaha, on Saturday when 11-year-old Christian Nanson spotted something floating in the water. It turned out to be a young girl.

Nanson and John Fitzgerald, 9, both member of an Omaha Scout troop, reached the girl and brought her to shore while others called for help on a cell phone, assistant scoutmaster Matt Fitzgerald told the Omaha World-Herald.

Douglas County Sheriff's Deputy David Brock said the little girl, Stephanie Pacheco, was treated for hypothermia and released from a hospital Monday. The child had slipped away from her mother upstream, said Duane Arp, a conservation officer with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.

Here.

Looking on from the Plain Dealer, this is hitting pretty close.

Accepted, and let me apologize if I caused you stress at a bad time. Hope things work themselves out - vibes en route.

You can, you smart-ass POS, but I've got better things to do with my time.

I just figured out what POS stands for. I'm hurt.

God, when did this turn into the Newshour on PBS?

(I know, I know: Then why am I wasting my time here? A: It's not my time, it's company time! Cha-ching!)

You can, you smart-ass POS, but I've got better things to do with my time.

Like responding to smart-ass POSes?

How original. Bashing the president's intellect. Again.

 

How many of you have ever spent 5 minutes with the man, or someone close to him?

 

His wife has a master's in library science. And I'm sure that he never encountered a book while obtaining a bachelor of arts degree in history at Yale or an MBA at Harvard.

 

but it's easy to re-churn these tired, hackneyed jokes, rather than to give the man the befefit of the doubt. I'm sure that increasing your smug quotient is reward enough for most of you. God forbid you delve into any substantive and studied criticism of his policies or politics. That would take some effort.
