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'm afraid compling a list of those NOT "enamored with this filth" would be an easier task.

Just heard a burst of small arms fire... sounded like ak-47 to my semi trained ears.

I heard that too....just before the singing. Have to wonder what's up ... especially if we hear more.

It's pretty well known that he was sneaking oil out and accumulating his money for WMD.

We actually should be able to "see" more soon. About 7:30PM there BDT. Darkness is going to fall in the next few minutes. We might be able to see flares and tracer rounds going, as well as artillery explosions.

President in NC now. He was here when he announced the release spy plane crew in China.

[Dawgmeister]

That was a really short prayer!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Yikes.... Did you see who was shooting at Bag Cam?

[Sacajaweau]

It's their idea of an "energy saver" lightbulb...on, off, on, off

[ninenot]

Mold for Fiberglas J Nadler would be too large for standard factory. Requires plant on order of, say, Boeing/Seattle

[AppyPappy]

Nah, I have a Marine band now.

[Sparky760]

Your right this may be the night.....I'm holding my breath. Next comes street fighting and that's the toughest kind of fight. Especially considering we are trying so hard to keep civilian casualties to a minimum.

God Bless our Troops

[golas1964]

Understand Laurie's engaged. Better change it to Mountain Don't!

[dogbyte12]

damn it... cbs cut it off. I want to see the prez... but I can see him on any news channel. bagdad cam should stay on.

Humor Break:

A long time ago, Britain and France were at war. During one battle, The French captured an English major. Taking the major to their headquarters, the French general began to question him. The French general asked, "Why do you English officers all wear red coats? Don't you know the red material makes you easier targets for us to shoot at?"

In his bland English way, the major informed the general that the reason English officers wear red coats is so that if they are shot, the blood won't show and the men they are leading won't panic. And that is why from that day to now all French Army officers wear brown pants.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

What, no Major Bob quote? Can't have that:

Major Bob, re. PFC Lynch: "I have never been so proud of the United States army in my whole life."

[AppyPappy]

I get to tell that joke tomorrow.
