I think there may actually still be a couple in the little town across the river !.
Will have to try to remember to check it out next time I'm over there for groceries.

(this kind of nostalgia is surely a sign of creeping age/irrelevance   d:^)

Snuff - the dry stuff
Dip - the wet stuff

Skoal, Copenhagen and the like are called snuff, even though they are not powder. Colloquial name is dip. About half a million cans passing through my hands confirms that.

It’s not a knockout game, it’s attempted murder.

No arrests. In other news, a schoolboy pointed his finger simulating a gun and said "bang!"; he was hauled off by cops and suspended. Pain okay, fingerpointing is way worse. What a backwards society the PC libs play!

"I want the boy to know that I forgive him but I'm not going to be his friend anymore," Matthew said.

I think that's the concussion talking.

Newsflash: He could easily have killed you by hitting you that hard. He doesn't think of himself as your friend. Wake the hell up.

I remember a friend like this. It was 1989, and I had a buddy who was new to the school. Then one day in gym, he walked up to me and punched me in the face as hard as he could and spit in my face. It was what was required to get in with the cool kids.

So, I can see how these so called friends can turn. He was seeking acceptance from some others most likely. Most likely Obama’s sons.

[Not now, Not ever!]

The "knock out game"?

We are getting very close to the bust a cap game and these ferals will not like the way it will end.

this boy should sue his ex friend and the school....sounds like cops are dragging their feet in going after crimes like t his......make someone pay....make them pay..
