OK, how long till somebody posts the little zombie kid who "likes turtles?" That's cool. I have 2 Mississippi Map turtles, one Common Musk turtle, and a new Red-ear Slider. I also have a Box turtle, Buddy lives in my garden. I'm going to see this on Sunday with The Warden, can't wait: http://www.turtle-film.com/

Interesting weekend. I drove up to a little place called Bismarck, Arkansas. I go up there a lot, buddy of mine is camp host at a Boy Scout camp there. We camp right on Lake Degray, it is a beautiful area just south of Hot Springs. My buddy is sort of a joker, here is my story … We get there Friday afternoon, talk to my bud, drive down to our camp spot and start making camp. Haven’t been there 10 minutes when a Hot Springs county deputy sheriff comes rolling up. I’ve seen LEOs out there maybe once before...

I cut the grass today, it was hot hot hot in Garland, TX. After that I did a little watering. Now, I'm outside a fair bit, notice all the people going by. Typical people out walking, people on bikes, noisy vehicles. There are several laborer types who cruise by on their 24" girl's bikes, I know most of 'em on sight. Something weird happened around 5:30 or so. I see a Hispanic guy, maybe 30-40ish, on a bike, approaching from a direction that is not typical. No big deal, typical laborer guy with jeans and a sleeved western shirt and...

Regarding some guy who wrote a letter to apologize for rioting and burning cars. Hope I can post this here. Worthy read: ER Nurse's Letter"You, Tim Kwong, are a douchtard. Apology not accepted."

I'm sure some of this guy's stuff has been posted around here before, I found him by accident. Pretty funny, dude seems to be on the level. I don't think he is faking it, but would love opinions.

I can't help myself, I am a nosy person. In the last week or so I have seen two different posters with an XX-1/2 post number, a weird join date, and a FReep name that leads to some YouBoob or Wiki destination. What the heck is up with this? Check 24-1/2. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2728498/posts Makes me think we are being hacked. I dunno, but that is shennanigans of some sort. I guess I'm just a suspicious person, but abnormal stuff gets my attention.

I always liked that guy's films, own a couple of 'em. What an interesting read. Go to Wiki sometime and put his name in, wow. That guy was cool. I guess I didn't realize he died so young (ha, 50, I'm older than that). I can identify with him so much, what a trip. I love that film "Le Mans" because I am a racing film. It is basically stupid, except for the tasty automobiles, but I watch it every few months and always get a tear. I'm weird like that about films.

People keep asking the same questions over and over in each thread on this topic, I thought I would try to lump them all together and give my analysis of each. Maybe this will help answer a few questions already sorted out before new threads are started, at least until it turns into another hair-pulling, face scratching, dress tearing free-for-all like some threads around here have.

I don't think there is better fish to eat than crappie. Tuna is good, bass is OK, catfish can be tasty, but there ain't nothing better than good Arkansas crappie.

When Mark Simone stands in for Mark Levin he used to always have Ann Coulter on at some point. I heard him on there recently and he was very dismissive and avoided talking nice about her.

Wow, this show just gets better. I can hardly stand to watch it anymore, I always cry, I can't stop it. A man is not supposed to cry, but stuff like this just cuts me in half. Thank you Lifetime Channel, you can continue to cut my guts out, I don't mind. I'll watch, and I'll drain my eyes every time I guess.

If it really happens, I for one will hoist a schooner of Dogfish 60. I'll laugh my lips off, let's do this! I don't think they have the cajones to do it, but I guess it could happen.

My woman is strong, I can't even tell you how much. And I am a big strong man. But my woman has watched the tears come out of my eyes, and I have seen her shed them too.

Who do you want to vote for? I'm torn, but here is a ticket I'd like to see.

Remember that Thanksgiving when W turned up in Baghdad? I do. I had an Iraqi Freedom veteran Marine, just back from deployment, staying at my house. When I heard it on the radio I ran in the house and we threw on the TV and there was our President, addressing troops at some military base. That took some guts. I still respect him for doing that.

Yeah, I want a Ruger 10-22 bull barreled beauty too, but for now I'm toying with the idea of a simple bolt .22 with iron sights. Nothing fancy, just a plaything for plinking.

Since all our Cowpies will be on the links in Hawaii or in the topless bars, or maybe sucking up to Boss Hogg so they can sit in his suite to watch the Pack trounce the Steelers, I find it relevant to remind all that there is another Big Game on Sunday. http://animal.discovery.com/tv/puppy-bowl/

I have the most awesome collection of martial arts films of anyone I know. I love this stuff. I own everything from old Kurosawa, Shaw Brothers and a lot of more contemporary stuff. I couldn't even list them all here. My favorites are Japanese Jidaigeki, all that old weird Samurai stuff. I own every Zatoichi film ever made and all the TV episodes I have been able to locate. Shintaro Katsu was a genius and his sense of humor always cracks me up. I also have some really good modern stuff, "Twilight Samurai" and "The Hidden Blade" and "The Samurai...

How do I edit my signature line here on FR?

We have a weird Christmas tradition around here at the Garland FOB. I always cook a brisket to feed the familial units.
