~ SPORTS DAY IN THE CANTEEN ~     The Canteen Doors Are Open! Yep! Another fun filled Sports Day for all of our Troops, Veterans, and their families. (Oh yeah! For Canteeners and lurkers as well.) Anyhoo, the Canteen Sports CEO (That would be Mr.Tonkin for those that would like to file a complaint!) would like for us to keep things simple for Sports this week. So? Being that we have no power over such things, we are going to take him at his word. After all, he's the CEO and he always knows everything. Right?  The right hand side provides all the sports information you will need! So? Have at it kids! Have fun!! (In all honesty, we don't want to bog down the thread opening anymore. We'll keep it short and simple. Anything else we'd like to add will be posted on the thread itself!)   CANTEEN SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS 1. The Cincinnati Reds, not the Chicago Cubs, are currently in First Place in the National League - Central Division. Please make note of that. Be sure to pester Cubbie lover, tomkow6, about it. He'll appreciate it. 2. No! This isn't Da Bears season yet. So? The CSC CEO won't care what we write about in the Canteen. (Don't tell him Da Bears will be bad again this year. Hehe!) 3. The French Open is currently going on. Anyone care? We didn't think so. Besides, all the American men are gone. Wimbledon is next for us. WooHoo! 4. Anyone see the Indy 500?? Isn't it nice that we all know how to say Buddy Rice? It sure is. Nice to see an American win it again. 5. *YAWN* The Yankees are in first place again. Different year, same story. Poor BoSox fans. 6. If you want to end your football career with controversy, sign up to be the head coach at Colorado. McCartney, Neuheisel, and Barnett. What a grand school. (Although, Barnett wasn't fired.) 7. Just an observation: The British papers and people love two things more than anything else. They love soccer and sex. Kind of convenient since they both start with "s". They are obsessed with David Beckham and who he's with or isn't. Looks like his wife Victoria is becoming the Hillary Clinton of Great Britian. Sucks to be either one of them. 8. We know what you're thinking: WHY ISN'T IT FRIDAY ALREADY? We hear ya there!	SPORTS LINKS mouse over to see the link!

AH! Now that you speel it out, I think I've seen it before. The pic is of Kerry and his Swift Boat unit from VietNam. He used to to insinuate that he is supported by Vets in his run for President, when in truth, only 2 support him and the majority have signed a petition saying he is unfit for the office. When the Vets used the picture back at him, he complained -- get this -- that they hadn't gotten his permission to use his image! There are so many places to go with THAT that you don't even want to get me started!! But I'll just say that before JFnK used the pic, the Vets were private citizens while he is a public figure. As such, they could have sued the pants off him. (Not that any of us would want to see THAT!! LOL!!)

[StarCMC]

Hey there Darkwing! You always make such a dashing entrance! :o)

[StarCMC]

LOL!!

We will NEVER forget Petty Officer Ingram and Lt. Col. Jackson, nor their sacrifice.

[kjfine]

[StarCMC]

Can you even believe how these guys keep helping others even thru their own serious injuries?? It never ceases to amaze me!

Moose Stroll would be good. I'm going to be computerless at work while they do whatever they have to do to make sure the virus goes away. ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!
