THE GUILD 2-10-2003 8 things never to do on Valentine's Day

I have to agree. There's no way we can protect ourselves from every possible form of attack. If I can scrape up the $, I'll get another gun. That, and some canned food and bottled water (which I already keep on hand), is about it.

I'm also hoping that living in a town that isn't on most maps will make us less susceptible to terrorist attack than major cities!

Michael Ledeen says the French and Germans know much more than they’re admitting about the connections between Iran, Iraq, and terrorists, from National Review.

I am so disgusted by the French and Germans.

I don't know the state of your armory, but most of us would do better by being sure that our ammo tank was FULL.

Counting down 'till the gun show this weekend...

Mon Dieu, I wish I could get back all that money I dropped off in France in October. Italy's topping the list now.

The Dems keep digging their hole deeper and deeper. Wolf Blitzer just reported six Dems have FILED A LAWSUIT to prevent Dubya from going to war without invoking the war powers act. (wasn't the last invocation of the WPA in 1973?). Blitz mentioned John Conyers and Jim McDermott...didn't catch the rest. Also, a couple of soldiers and military families. Hoping this gets LOTS of press.

I'm hoping it gets plenty of press too, I am sick and tired of these un-American attitudes and obstructionist actions.

Should we hope for peace? Sure! But we should all be realistic about the chances of that happening. (Preaching to the choir :)

JL, in complete agreement on the armed and ready front. One not need to don a tin-foil hat to make prudent preparation for any potential trouble that may creep up. Incidently, we're not glad-wrapping ourselves to the wall either.

HLL- Gosh, I wish I could be there during your bit of midnight sign mischief.

mountaineer, had any good snow lately? (ho,ho! Are you sick of this, or what?)

Another Hollywood actor falls off my list. John Cusack waxes philosophical about Bush, terror and war.

"The reason bin Laden staggered the planes going into the towers was so every camera would be focused on the second tower when the plane hit. It was not only the murder, but the perpetual image of the horror that permeated into people's consciousness. It was not the murder itself, but the iconography of the murder." [What a great artist that Osama is!]

No more Cusack movies for me. I wouldn't mind all these airheads...if only they weren't so dangerous. Excellent article HERE

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

If the WTC wasn't murder, than those 3000 people must be alive somewhere. Are they all hiding with Osama?

Cusak, what a putz.

[mountaineer]

According to the nuts at LP, the WTC attack was orchestrated by Bush, "iconography" notwithstanding. (Tinfoil chapeau firmly in place). Agree with you re France, J. I've told Mr. M that any future Europe trips we take will be to England or Spain, even though we were hoping to explore French WWI sites where relatives had fought.

[mountaineer]

Yeah, this doggone global warming is driving me nuts. It was about 7 degrees this a.m., another 6 inches of snow is predicted by tomorrow. Arrggghhh.

Today's front page NY Post:

LOL!

[mountaineer]

Excellent!

Smooch?

Good Morning! I am mad at the Dell man. Still no replacement of the crippled system. Here I sit on at wilting monitor which goes black occasionally, and must be turned off for cooling down.

Ice and snow predicted for later today. I have a meeting in the County Seat in a bit, so I will be scurrying about trying to beat the weather.

Hope everyone has a good day.

I am not going to stock up on duct tape. I will stock up on cigs and diet coke.

A Happy Valentine's Day joke for you.......

A very shy guy goes into a pub on Valentine's Day night and sees a beautiful woman sitting alone at the bar. After an hour of gathering up his courage he finally goes over to her and asks tentatively, "Um, would you mind if I brought you a drink?" She responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight!" Everyone in the pub is now staring at them. Naturally, the guy is hopelessly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table totally red faced.

After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologises. She smiles at him and says, "I'm really sorry if I embarrassed you just then. You see, I'm a graduate student in psychology and I'm studying how people respond to embarrassing situations."

To which he responds, at the top of his lungs, "What do you mean $200?!"

[lodwick]

Chocolates?

[Aggie Mama]

That last frame looks like he kissed off his moustache onto the woman. =) LOL.

[lodwick]

Nice catch there!
