Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help:

To all who helped this get started, thank you!

Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

I was thinking it was an air compressor

[The Wizard]

I always hope for growth....

Take a look at their culture and ask yourself why they would become our ally.

[Tree of Liberty]

This butt-for-brains just said that Rumsfeld's statement the other day that Syria was selling arms to Iraq was based on inaccurate intel.

[ninenot]

Simple.

You throw the jar forcefully to the floor. VOILA!!! The olive rolls away and you capture it.

Then call the kids to sweep the glass.

[texxie]

lol do I dare ask what uses yall came up with?

[Socratic]

Classic may not always be defined by age, but by quality.

[Tree of Liberty]

Why not just dump it in a bucket and go bobbin' for olives?

[The Wizard]

maybe ally was a bad word, no combative, they must play by the rules...

[ninenot]

I you'd been PAYING ATTENTION to the FR posts on about Day 6 it was clear the 4th ID would be in place and rolling east by early this week.

Go ahead, listen to the press. We'll (FReepers) be in Baghdad before ye...

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - Japan sources state that North Korea has fired an anti-ship missile

[ninenot]

SHe'll send a picture of her, holding the wisk. The BOYS will figure out what to do with it...

[B4Ranch]

butt-for-brains

I've seen some real cute butts in my days. Change that to "intestines" for brains.

[Tree of Liberty]

Hehehe, probably not. Just consider sittin' on whisk marks. If you want to delve into the dark recesses, most of the conversation is on the previous page.

[texxie]

did they say what they were shooting at??

[Tree of Liberty]

I was thinking more along the lines of what's inside intestines, but I was trying to keep it kind of clean.

[texxie]

lol ok I hear what you are NOT saying lol too funny

good pic you put together btw of BG and the wisk:)

[Tree of Liberty]

Nope, they just showed a little text blurb at the bottom of the screen above the crawl while the talking heads were on another topic. What I wrote is what they showed.

Geraldo's map went the direction of the Tigris River, but he DID name towns. Other than that, the tactics he stated are all textbook. I hated him during the Toon's years, but as a veteran I must say ALL the FOX correspondents are great for news AND great for the moral of the troops. I don't care the theatrics. Geraldo was the ONLY nationally known personality regularly highlighting the troops in Afganistan. Do you have ANY idea what that means to a serviceman who is WAY out in the boondocks?

I had to go thru hoops to get to my unit near Cambodia. The guys out there must settle for a radio broadcast. I think this will all blow over for him. And even tho' I hated him so much before, he is growing on me just for the look on my 'brothers' faces 'over there'. I'll even overlook the theatrics for the looks on their faces. I've been there, I know how it feels.
