To: g'nad
Precioussss...
To: RosieCotton
Its really bad to shoot and miss when you aren't even on the right thread.... LOL!
To: g'nad; Corin Stormhands
Couldn't resist, even though it's not the proper place. And I STILL missed by one!
To: HairOfTheDog
Yep!
To: RosieCotton; Corin Stormhands
Hey, no fair trying to snag it.... I was informed yesterday on this very thread that precious doesn't count outside of the Hole.....
But Corin was the one who told me that, and he's got both of them on this thread.....hmmmmmm
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
It worked didn't it? ;-)
To: Corin Stormhands
Ever notice how the Cavetroll form LOTR looked
a lot like Janet Reno?
To: Corin Stormhands; carton253
Should we launch an attack on all the other threads and steal their Preciouses??? Hey, wait a minute, maybe that's where Smeagol is..... I'll bet he's got a whole treasure trove of em.... :^)
To: Princeliberty
Ever notice how the Cavetroll form LOTR looked a lot like Janet Reno? eeeeewww, don't ruin it!!!
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic; carton253
Don't know about Smeagol, but carton is prolly off fighting in the Middle East. She spends a lot of time there.

"You know, you're right...when I went back through it, it does sound pretty melodramatic... I sure didn't mean it to sound that way...oh well, so much for my communication skills..."
"It would've taken alot of time to put each event in context, time I didn't feel like spending... but these things happened...I can't change that, and neither can you..."
It reads like Oedipus Rex! No way that all of that happened to one person. Not buying it.
To: RosieCotton
And I STILL missed by one!And Corin STILL beat you......

And Corin STILL beat you......Just gotta keep rubbing it in, eh Skivieless?
To: ksen; RosieCotton; rightwingreligiousfanatic
And Corin STILL beat you...... I think the point here is that I wasn't trying to "beat" anyone...
To: Corin Stormhands; ksen
I think the point here is that I wasn't trying to "beat" anyone...Suuuure...you can quit anytime you want to, right?

"It says we know g'nad a little better than you do, even if we've never met him. He's willing to put his life on the line for our freedom. Is that something you are prepared to do? If not, then don't belittle someone who is ready, willing and able!"
Stop and listen to yourself! You don't really know him at all. Just because you've had some good conversations with him doesn't mean that he's telling you the truth now.
I was in serivce during the last Gulf War. I was at Ft. Benning, GA roughly about halfway through the cycle at U.S. Infantry school when "Desert Shield" became "Desert Storm," and I was scared. I fully expected to go to Germany for 2 weeks of NBC training, and then on to Saudi. Thankfully, the Iraqis surrendered in mass rather, than face their deaths at the hands of the American military. So, I didn't have to go. Wasn't needed.
I wasn't a great "hero" like our friend here, but I was willing to go. I love my country enough to die for it, but I thank God every day that I didn't have to die for it!
To: RosieCotton
Well, I have to for now. I've got to go stand out in my field...
To: Destructor
No way that all of that happened to one person. Gee... compared to some of my friends, I've led a pretty uneventful life...
Hmmm...lets see...
have you ever looked someone in the eye and blown them away?- Kuwait 1991
Have you ever stuck a blade in a man? Chicago 1983
Have you ever cradled a dying friend in your lap as his life slipped away? Chuck 1981, Alex 1993
Have you ever had to attend the funeral of a man you endured hardships with and have to deal with his wife and children asking you why? Jeff 1994 Terry 1997
You ever collect bodies for disposal in a Third World country after a monsoon or a volcanic eruption? Bangledesh Operation Sea Angel 1991 Mt Pinotubo 1991
Have you ever had to learn to walk and then run again, dealing with constant pain so bad you want to puke? brain tumor 1998
Don't know why I bothered...so I guess I'm still a loser for enjoying Tolkien, huh?...

Nobody's questioning your patriotism. We just don't want our's questioned because of our taste in reading material or movie watching.

Stop and listen to yourself! You don't really know him at all.,P> Suzi, he's right, you can't possibly know me...when it comes to judging someone in a forum, you can't trust 'em... I appreciate you coming to my defense, but many a trusting person has been deceived on the internet...
The same goes for you D...I ain't no hero, never claimed to be...medals and baubles don't mean a thing...it's a man's character that counts...I may not be the greatest American, but you buddy, have a long way to go before you could begin to fill the shoes of the people you're criticising...
