What?????

[jackbill]

What does that mean??

That means that after the first landing, he's going to do a catapulted take-off, go around and land for a second time. He's getting all of the fun.

Aren't you so damned glad that you are not a DemocRAT? They must be crawling into their holes with envy today.

God Bless your daughter, and so wonderful that this must be so thrilling for her and her mates.

It is WRONG to gloat and laugh.

Hi Prairie!

I'm not sure - I'm so news deprived here at my desk - but I know an enterprising freeper can probably tell you. I believe he's spending the night in the President's suite (formerly the Captain's quarters) on board.

I am sure some Dems will be questioning the wisdom of this. I'm not sure, but I think there is a greater risk of getting a mind frying STD while engaging in random encounters of a sexual nature...

Somewhere between 50 and 100 miles, per the local morning news here in the L.A. area. On one station, a loopy morning reporter said 50 miles, and on another station, an equally loopy reporter said 100. 'Course, they don't know the difference between nautical miles and regular miles, so I can't tell you anything more accurate than between 50 and 100 miles.

Hey, that deck's awfully dirty. Who's job was it to sweep the deck?
