President Ford made an announcement concerning Swine Flu back in the 70's. http://www.capitalcentury.com/1976.html CONSPIRACY THEORY ALERT: I personally think it is all a ruse. A way to make more people believe that we desperately need to close the border to Mexico, and put more security on it. Although it is a REAL disease, it is being blown out of proportion. Officials closed the whole Shertz ISD down for a week because of Swine Flu, Shertz is a suburb of San Antonio, about as far as Katy is from H-town.

Yeah, you might want to keep that under your hat, or the insurance adjuster may feel like you are a chronic claims maker. I finally got to talk to my boy JJ about your paint dilemma. He is currently out of town, his grandfather passed, he won't be back til next week or so.

That's a fried onion ring, LOL! Wait a second...........that ain't no onion ring. BLEH! I am out on the Texican burger.

Should Texas cowboys be offended for using that butt-ugly representation ? How do you know the shorter guy is Mexican? He's wearing a mask ! For that matter, how do we know that 6'6" anorexic guy is a cowboy, just because he is wearing a hat ? That doesn't make him a cowboy, or a Texan ? They didn't say it was a Spicy Mexican Midget. They used the appropriate "Little" to describe his stature. Are you saying that Luchadors aren't "spicy", how do you know ?

I will have the number for my boy J.J. at Colors on Parade shortly, sorry for the delay.

The Somali pirates have hijacked 4 more ships since the incident, but I don't think it is entirely our problem. Let the Egyptian Govt. handle their boats. The Filipino boats we might need to do something about though. I will agree with what was said yesterday about the Big Mouth Media going off half-cocked explaining ALL the details, should not have happened. You have to chalk that up to bad management though, as word of a hush hush approach, be taken as to what actually befell the would-be pirates, which should have come from the same man that actually ordered that they be fired upon. From now on there will be no chance of a Seal operation like that happening again. Shame shame on them, right course of action, wrong course on the spilling of the beans.

LOL! Somali pirates will be the SAVIOR of AIG !!! Talk about a win / win for the U.S. Govt. I can hear Crunch now. " So, how long will you be cruising off the coast of Somalia, Mr. Lorentz ?"

oy vey ! Don't think any of the snipers in the Somali action were trained during WW2, credit where credit is due. Nor, were any of those Seals likely to have been trained during the Kennedy administration, credit where credit is due. Obama "inherited" the current Navy Seals from W's administration, much like Obama has "inherited" our economic crisis from W., at least to hear Dems. tell it. So, if Obama has "inherited" one, he obviously has inherited BOTH, has he not ? Try not to take a joke so literal next time NS. Think about the context before you post.

Obama made the right call on this one. I wonder if he'll give George W. credit for those Navy Seals he "inherited" from his administration ?

Ummm, Somali pirates have already racked up a few million dollars this year from taking over ships, so of course they will keep trying until they get killed on EVERY attempt. Somalia does not have a Govt. they have warlords, and we just found out yesterday what happens when Somali pirates try to take over a U.S. owned ship.

Chapstick ?...... In Houston ?..... What are you doing during the day that would require that you keep Chapstick on your person at all times ?

You should go backpack, I think you could pull this one off Lockmat.

He shouldn't have to do that, you already said that whoever kowtowed to you, that you would always agree with. Just like a lawyer, always trying to change the deal at the last minute. Most laughable post of this thread. "Fight back" against that evil capitalist conservative regime and let's get that socialist machine churning, go Obama ? Sure, see you in the toilet paper line, comrade. I still enjoy the HAIF. Is it just not possible for you to turn away from obviously political threads for some reason ?

Flipper, quit "freaking out" , I will have the number of the guy to call for this in the morning for you.

All these latest instances have been perpetrated by complete cowards. They have picked targets where they KNEW there would be no opposition to them. Look at the targets, all have been places where there would most likely be no "concealed license carriers"about. Why don't any of these losers EVER pick a gunshow or a NRA rally, or a shooting range to do their dirty work ? They prey on easy targets filled with people who have no chance of fighting back, and all these souless cowards know this. They are simply pathetic wastes of skin.

I kinda have one. It is on my neighbor's property. I just throw the banana peels and egg shells and orange rhine, what have you, right over the fence and into the compost. Yes, my neighbor is aware, she's the one who asked me to do so.

Dude, "The Stoned Age" really....you want to try and compare that to D&C ? Ok, I think maybe you got shot with the laser beam eye at a BOC show... that would explain alot.

I was under the impression that after 50 yrs. copyrights no longer have effect. You can do with it as you like as long as you give props. You aren't trying to make money on it, you are providing a service to this community.

I will give you that one. Now, there was just another one, where the P.O.S. killed his 5 kids and himself because his wife left him for another man. So, I don't think there is one common denominator working here, except perhaps for some sort of "loss" as the trigger ?

such as... I will concede that the longhaired kid, cast in the second lead is without a doubt one of THE worst actors, EVER. There are some real gems in that movie though. Hard for most movies to come away with a catch phrase like "Party at the Moontower." and have people know what you are referencing. I like it more for sentimental reasons, the location of the kid's hangout and Affleck getting the paint dumped on him are literally down the street from me. I drive by it almost everyday.

There is a reason that GPS was invented. Surely the fire dept. can afford a $100 Tom Tom for each of it's units and can find a connector somewhere. Besides, I would think of it as piss poor planning buy the city management if their Fire Depts. are spaced so far apart that they have to take the Freeway to get to a call. I have never seen an ambulance hesitate to take the shoulder on a freeway either.

20th St. we are talking about a 41 yr. old man in that immigration shooting, who from what co-workers are saying, was keeping a deep seeded anger towards America. He apparently never had any convictions on his record as he obviously owned 2 handguns registered in his name. His family had no clue how disturbed he was, and I can only speculate that he just snapped after losing his job in November and perhaps seeing new "citizens" coming in to possibly take any job prospects he might have, sent him over the edge ? So, we aren't talking about some punk kids going out to fulfill some fantasy after seeing "The Basketball Diaries". These latest wastes of DNA were not impressionable young minds, they were adult men that were broken. We need to keep in mind that there are just lots of plain CRAZY people with a beef against the world. Outlawing guns doesn't make these criminals go away or stop them from doing evil. Having MORE guns is not the answer either. Having the proper protocols in place for law abiding citizens to own guns helps keep the lawless at bay, to an extent. There is always gonna be that one or two that fall through the cracks, the world is not a perfect place.

Man, you and Ed amaze me. Dazed and Confused is on Tarantino's top ten list. It has been claimed as one of THE top 25 funniest movies to come out in the last 25 yrs. also. Excellent flick, Matt McConaughey's first movie. Affleck is in it. Milla Jojovich, lots of stars BEFORE they were stars, movie.

Didn't you see Dazed and Confused? I believe that is the one in Zilker Park where they actually filmed. What do you know. Wiki is actually good for something. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonlight_tower Margo, from what I have been reading, the book was apparently based on several highschools, not just Linklater's highschool. Besides, screenplays get rewrites ALL the time, yet it is possible that Huntsville had them.

Well, it was nice knowing you. C'mon dude, you could be the blacksheep of the family and die at 118 or something. Besides, it ain;t your choice, the man upstairs will decide how long he wants to keep you around down here.
