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,...

Just got this one in e-mail - forgive me if it's a repeat!

Saddam Hussein and his chauffeur were rolling down the highway when suddenly they hit a pig crossing the road. They killed it instantly.

Saddam tells his driver: "Go to da farm over dere and hexplain to da honer of da pig what appened."

One hour later, Saddam sees his driver coming back from the farm, his clothes all wrinkled, a bottle of wine in one hand and a cigar in the other. "What appen to you?" He asks.

"Well, the farmer gave me a bottle of wine, his wife, the cigar and their 19 year old daughter made wild passionate love to me."

"My God! What did you tell dem?" asked President Hussein.

The driver answered: "Good evening, I am Saddam Hussein's chauffeur and I have just killed the pig.

I did not know that was the Houston Airport if it is.

George Bush International Airport

This from AmericanInTokyo on the Yokohama bombing thread:

small stuff.

usual crude launcher found by citizens. citizens heard two explosions.

launchers (two) were hot and smoking, and were on the grounds of an elementary school

yamato police bureau (for ayase town, kanagawa prefecture) states strongly it was a japanese 'gerira' (guerilla) launching. no injuries. two projectiles aimed at Atsugi NAS of the US Navy. no projectiles found.

does not merit concern at this time.

[justshe]

Personally, I would like to see the name of the airport changed to Freedom-Port. Or Liberation Airfield.

[Carolina]

Question about beginning of assault on airport in Baghdad? Also did US knock out power?

Myers: Can't comment. CentCom hasn't targeted power grid.

[Cboldt]

Thanks -- was just going to check on the thread. I assumed, based on the nature of the few posts on the thread when I did look at it, and absence of any comments beyond that on any of the news that I monitor, that it was not a major event (in the scheme of things).

[mhking]

It sounds like planes in the background of the NTV BagCam....Hmmmmmm.....
