Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - LIVE THREAD.

It is designed for general conversation about the events of the day. In depth discussion of events should be left to individual threads - but links to the threads or other articles is highly encouraged. This allows us to stay abreast of the situation in general, while also providing a means of obtaining specific information.

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

To all who helped this get started and keep it running, thank you!

Special thanks to An.American.Expatriate for staring the daily threads, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service™, and, of course, Belly Girl...

[glock rocks]

no, safeway vanished from the scene up here when american stores bought the planet... alpha beta, acme, etc... then albertsons bought all those out. i don't think any of them deliver. smith's and fred meyer's are the other biggies here.

no, the consortium that delivers here is local.

[nicmarlo]

I did put in some memory....I forget how much I have now, but it's way more than the little bit it came with (a ridiculously low amount.) My computer's two years old.

My but it's windy in Baghdad tonight.

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

Was thinking about what the minister of Iraqi disinformation said yesterday, someting beautiful was going to happen involving matyrdom, etc.

Several things he has said reminds me of Hitler's will, which is in the book, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

Meaning: I think Saddam will commit suicide in the end.

I may be in my thinking but my gut is that Saddam has probably already written his will and preserved it for posterity.

[Straight Vermonter]

I'm running Win98 with 533mhz and it runs fine. I can't play Snood while it is running though.

[chnsmok]

There were 21 episodes where McCoy pronounced or announced someone dead, in several different ways: "He's dead Jim." "Very dead." "He's dead." "She's dead." "That man's dead back there!" You get the picture:

Wolf In The Fold
The Changeling
I, Mudd
Obsession
Return To Tomorrow
The Lights Of Zetar
The Deadly Years
And The Children Shall Lead
The Enemy Within
The Apple
The Enterprise Incident
Catspaw
A Private Little War
A Piece Of The Action
Amok Time
The Man Trap

car alarms going off again. Don't ya just hate that? A minor little breeze, a few artillery rounds, and then ya wake all the neighbors.

[Texas Tea]

Moved over to ntv cam and you can't hear the wind at all

[najida]

And Baghdad Bob will read his will, complete with hand gestures.

The man deserves an award.

[ztiworoh]

Wow, it's one thing to enjoy Trek once in a while, it's another to be able to quote episodes...

[chnsmok]

Dagger Of The Mind

Is There In Truth No Beauty?
For The World Is Hollow, And I Have Touched The Sky
Spectre Of The Gun

Man, that seems so slow to me now

Im running

1.8 ghz Pent 4
40 gig HD
32Mb GeForce2 Go Graphics
256Mb Ram

But I too love Snood

[nicmarlo]

LOL....well, I guess I tend to focus more on the BIG PICTURE, cuz I certainly don't remember the doc ever saying "He's dead, Jim," lol!

[chnsmok]

google

"Yes, and the question is retarded anyway."

I'm not sure just what a "retarded" question is, but my son has a developmental disability and people who want to insult him call him "retarded". That word has been turned into the biggest insult you can give someone, and it is very hurtful and offensive to those with disabilities and those who love them.

This is not about "Political Correctness" but about human respect.

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

hahaha......

[ztiworoh]

Ok, just making sure

On the other hand, anyone seen the documentary "Trekkies", there are some scary people out there, especially the guy who spends like 10 years of his life perfecting his replica of the captain's chair

Sad.... but hilarious

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

Oh he's gonna get his reward all right......I hope he's blabbing on camera when it happens (so it can be replayed zillions of times)!!
