Actually, that was said of GEN Omar Bradley.
Are you causin' trouble again? Good for you :~P
That kind of stuff needs to be sourced, too much of it is just agenda inspired mud slinging.
It ticks me off on a personal level.
If I still had my maiden last name, I'd be called an illegal Mexican by some of these folks.
When I was protesting the re-re-re-count in Palm Beach County, I had a "tolerant liberal" charge right up to my face and scream "Go back to Puerto Rico, you stupid Puerto Rican!"
True story.
And there wasn't anything about me other than my general appearance to have provoked that reaction from him.
I refuse to have FR tainted by the same type of human refuse.
Agreed... I'm with you.
I'm glad you're with me. :-D
Nah, not really. Saw part of one of the Superman movies once... I think he was fixing a crack in the earth or something.
You made me look.
later
i'm gonna swim home now...
Oops. Sorry.
That thread has a nostalgic feel to it, doesn't it?
Ungh.
Went to Wal-mart. Yes, I knew better. But I had to buy the stuff for my sister to start working on wedding cake tomorrow. And I bought the sodas and water - well, half of it - for the reception. $90 and an entire trunk.
*And* not two hours after I send the caterer the headcount apparently Mom's uncle and aunt I haven't seen in years that she swore wouldn't come, decided they were coming. Ha ha ha. And the teenage lesbian cousin and her 40 year old girlfriend are coming. I hear banjos already.
I am telling you I am going to have to have all my side come in crazy costumes or something because my collection of geeks and engineers is going to seem way to tame by comparison.
~snif~
I miss the Scouring.
Not to worry. I plan to be weird enough for both of yer families.
Way, way, way too tame. Oh well, we like this aunt and uncle. They are much nicer than my grandfather. Pretty much all my great aunts and uncles are nicer than my grandparents. It's amazing. Turns out they lost the invites and had personal stuff going on and called Mom all apologetically asking if they were too late to rsvp. So of course they weren't.
If anyone else says they're coming, though... rrrrr.... they will just not get food.
Corin, you will have to try to be weirder than my family. After all we do not think you likely to either stand up in the middle of the ceremony and call us all godless heathens, or get into a tooth-and-nail fight at the reception. And even if you did it would not matter since you are just my crazy friend and not a relative.
Have you ever been to 'etiquettehell.com'? I am betting I will have stories to rival some of those.
Will they be wearing flannel? Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
Ah yes, weddings and funerals seem to bring out the absolute WORST in families. Don't know why that is. Maybe because it's usually the time when EVERYONE is together; even the ones who avoid everyone else like the plague most other times.
You'll know them by their comfortable shoes :~)
