~ 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!

"Come, Nadilla, spit it out! Do not hold it in, get it out! Hurry, now say it, say it!!!"
(cough) (gag) "All right, all right - I like George Bush's flight suit!"
"There now, does that not feel better for saying it?"

You're a big girl now: About 7 feet tall, in fact. The supersized swimmers are part of a three-dimensional billboard for a local water park in Madison, Wis. Paul Brown of Adams Outdoor Advertising checks the placement of the wooden cutouts

"Gee, Sarge, when AP told me I was riding with you, I didn't know that we were going - what was that? An explosion? Who are those men - OMIGOD, YOU'VE GOT A GUN! This is NOT happening to me - "

"You're right, Play-doh Brain, I'm making it happen to them..."

[Old Sarge]

"Thassright, ifi'n the first one don't gitcha, the next one will, an' th' one after THAT, too..."

Computer all fixed now?

I got a "new" one. AND...I got all my favorites, all my bookmarks it looks like. I tried to get on this morning, but between pop ups and IE or Oracle quitting whenever it liked, I finally gave up. The IT guy said I got more ram too. It bugged him how slow it was yesterday as he tried to clean out the bugs. I'll look later. #1 priority...get back to the Canteen. How ya feeling? Questions complete?

[Fawnn]

Feeling a bit better. As soon as my sister-in-law drops off a prescription she's picking up for me at WalMart, I'll probably go nap. (I hope I'm not jinxing it by announcing it.) ;)

More work today getting the images the way layout and design wants 'em. It looks like we have that worked out now, so I'll be back to questions tonight!

P.S. Neat re the new computer -- complete with saved favorites and all!!!

(I thought I heard a cardoor earlier, so I hit post and went to investigate. I shouldaknown! My SIL said she'd be here at 5, so knowing how late she always is, it's far to early for her to be "on time.") ;)
