We’ve got 50 degrees now and heading down. 40 mph gusts later today and snow showers. Nothing much for accumulation, but a bad day for the local Dairy Queen to pick for opening for the season!
From a 30 year long, since retired, player. Also reffed. Rugby is a great game.
In London, George decided that for today, he would have his break-time tea in the park instead of in his truck, and everyone knows that if you take the tea out of the truck, you’re left with ruck.
oh, good grief
LOL A++
“Shmuck” is a wonderfully descriptive word, for Jew and Gentile alike. My favorite “shmuck joke”:
A woman says to her hen-pecked husband, “Harry, you are such a shmuck. If they had a contest of all the shmucks in the world, you would finish second.”
“Second? Why second?”
“’cause you’re a shmuck!”
a great word, it beats the other four letter word that rhymes with ruck.....
;^)
and that IS a great joke. LOL
Excellent
Ever been to the rodeo? I’ll be in Houston next week and I think we’re planning to go one night.
I have not been to the Houston rodeo but I think it is a well done event. I’m sure you will have a good time.
Ruck row! /scooby accent 8<)
Schmuck alert!
Which *%@(#^&% genius thought it was a good idea to make us ruck in the freezing rain with our rucks filled with 80 lbs. of gear and ammo, but leaving our snivel gear in the barracks.
Answer: some REMR (rear-echelon mother rucker)
You just made my day.
I think I'm speechless.
Probably best to refrain from the —Nantucket—ruck it—..... approach today ;-)
Home for lunch and printing invoices-
Has anyone ever noticed
How trying times bring out
Earthwatchers in Birkenstocks
To lecture us and to shout
At the average ruck of people
To shut up-just stop the raving
As the price of meat goes up
Think of the cows you’re saving
If the price of gas is too high
And the cost of a Volt above you
Put on boots and start walking-
And Al Gore will surely love you...
Could you describe the ruckus, sir?
algore......LOL drank too much ice tea, invented the internet, inspiration for love story, globull warming guru, VP, what an achiever.
