~ 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!

"Naw, nevermind, I really dropped in to see if Eaker bought a burka."

LOL!

[tomkow6]

SEE! I TOLD YA LINDA's GOT CHICKEN LEGGS!

[Long Cut]

Thanks for that. It still looks like NY's going to be a problem, at least for the hour or so I'll have to drive through it.

It's next to impossible to get to Maine from Florida by road without at least grazing New York.

The gun will be unloaded in a locked case, with no ammo and with the mags stored separetly.

[StarCMC]

ROFLMBO!!! And by the way....

[tomkow6]

[Smartass]

Prayers to Blackie...

[Long Cut]

Of course, I'll probably wind up just shipping it somehow. I'd rather not risk it.

[glock rocks]

YMMV, but the first section - federal law on transport - supports your method. Were you thinking of stopping in NY? If not, you should be clear.

[Eaker]

Naw, nevermind, I really dropped in to see if Eaker bought a burka.

Well, you ARE still taking me to the barn dance Saturday night right?

I had to get something to wear!!!!

GOODNIGHT TROOPS AND CANTEEN

 

 

 

My fat cat is telling me it's time for bed; soooooooo:

Good Night, All!

May God bless all who come to the Canteen.
May God bless & keep safe all our troops & their families!

Dear Lord,
There's a young man far from home,
called to serve his nation in time of war;
sent to defend our freedom
on some distant foreign shore.

We pray You keep him safe,
we pray You keep him strong,
we pray You send him safely home ...
for he's been away so long.

There's a young woman far from home,
serving her nation with pride.
Her step is strong, her step is sure,
there is courage in every stride.

We pray You keep her safe,
we pray You keep her strong,
we pray You send her safely home ...
for she's been away too long.

Bless those who await their safe return.
Bless those who mourn the lost.
Bless those who serve this country well,
no matter what the cost.

God, Bless America!

Hey my friend, so tell me, how did a dimowit manage to inject you with what ails you? Thanks to Tonk for letting us in that prayers are needed for you... I will add you to a very short prayer list....wouldn't want to use up all my best shot on everyone, but you my friend, I will gladly put a word in for.....and want to see great results!

[Long Cut]

I have NO plans to stop in NY. Normally, I would...I'm from there originally, and I still have friends about, but not in a car with two cats. I'll be going for minimum driving time!

[tomkow6]

Hi, Issaquahking!

Welcome to the Canteen!

Wanna buy a burka?

 

 

[glock rocks]

Well, you ARE still taking me to the barn dance Saturday night right?

Would you mind just sending me a picture? You can keep the whiskey.

Good night and sweet dreams, Angel Boy. Thank you for your steadfast support of our military and their families, and for helping make the Canteen a safe haven for them. And thank you for your service to this great nation.
