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,...

Achmed is back in view.

[LikeLight]

3800

[commish]

I was close and I wasn;t even following it this year. LOL! Not much hockey news down here in Alabama.

[CurlyBill]

oops! I meant tough...

[Poser]

3800 and it's just about time to start the new thread. It will be 24 hours in 3 minutes. We didn't make it. Maybe tomorrow. The big push is on.

[spectr17]

Catch me on another thread sonny boy and I'll rip a little turd like you a new one. Count on it.

I'm shaking like an inbred toy poodle. Can we move on now or are you done with the hissy fit?

[commish]

Once they get the ownership and money problems straight things should perk up.

When you have to start trading players like Hasek for 2 frozen Pike and tuna to be named later you know things are getting bad.

[Poser]

The college teams aren't quite as good as last year. A hot goalie will make the difference. All you need is one guy named Dryden.

[Anomaly in Illinois]

I'm so tired I can't see straight, so good night all. :)

[spectr17]

Dryden was awesome. Glenn Hall, Billy SMith. Grant Fuhr all excellent playoff goalies.

[commish]

Well I'll root for uNH by proxy ;-)

Take care - time to hit the rack -- have to be on duty at 0630 tomorrow. We have a General visiting our office - oh joy.

[merrin]

Would both of you go do this crap on some thread where I'm not?

[GOPyouth]

Aight folks, I'm off to bed early tonight. I can't keep my eyes open. It was a great day for the military. We got a hottie back alive, smoked some Iraqi Republican Guards, started unloading the 4th, secured a landing strip so the boys pushing the southern route can get re-supplied faster, and started knocking on the backdoor of Baghdad. All in all, a great job. Night folks!

[spectr17]

nite

[Poser]

Good night commish and Anomaly. I'll be going to bed in about an hour. I'll see you at about 9:30 tomorrow morning with the first cup of coffee. It's going to taste great.

[TigersEye]

I agree with everything you said. it happened the way it seems then he needs to be tossed out on his ear. That's why I thought the statements about the Pentagon asking him to leave sounded strange. Geraldo's a bigmouth and a showoff but he's not stupid. I don't think he even needed a briefing to know that what he did was wrong, if it was a SNAFU. I suspected intentional disinfo from the first. I'm having a hard time imagining any of our superbly trained troops, Army or otherwise, just letting a well known ham like Geraldo or any other reporter go as far as he did if they didn't want them to.

It's still up in the air for me.

[umbagi]

Poser, I can't believe you made that a single post -- you could have gotten two out of it!

Who is starting day 14 (remember to change it to 14!)?

[Robert A Cook PE]

But those suburbs are irrelevant if Saddamn isn't there.

Bagdad is ONLY valuable as the location of his grave, or hospital bed, or bunker.

Plus being the center of commerce, industry, (what used to be) governemnt, and (what used to be) transportation and communication.

[Poser]

It's over. No 4K today. Frankly, that's probably good news. I thought I would never get 1000 because I'm always asleep at that time. I'm sure 4K will come around again.
