She's now certified to teach history in high skrool

Congratulations Msdrby! Now go out and mold some minds. :-)

I recall reading that one of the things that outraged the British officers in the revolutionary war was the American practice of targeting officers.

Yeah they hated that. I guess it comes from a Society based on Class. Ok to shoot the underclass but it isn't cricket to shoot at the upper Class.

SOme Britsh Naval officer, can't recall the name off hand, remarked something about "centuries to build a tradition". I think it applies to the British Army too.

And Sanitation Engineers deal with the aftermath

That's why God created bacteria.

This is sad news. Matthew, is there a way out of the EU now that the country has voted for it? By a future vote? By parliment?

[snippy_about_it]

Thank you Matt for the further explanation, please keep us informed as time goes by.

Congratulations. The kids she gets to teach will be the lucky ones!

WARNING: Do not melt permafrost.

Required for 57 Chevy trucks on any highway, five rear ends.

This is one of many shipments of military vehicles and supplies that Northern Alberta Railways transported to Dawson Creek, British Columbia and Peace River, Alberta during World War II. The shipments were for construction of the Alaska Highway, as well as the refinery on the Mackenzie River at Norman Wells in the Northwest Territories. Three NAR officials inspect the train before it leaves Dunvegan Yards: (left to right) General Manager J.A. MacArthur, Assistant Superintendent Syd Bradburn, and Day Yardmaster Jack Vollans.

Mosquitoes in tug of war over four by six.

Alcan motor home.

In other news, I called our Senator both at his capital city office and DC office, also the White House comment line, message being, I will vomit if our president says we will track these people down blah blah blah--

That we are sick and tired of "new tone", velvet gloves, political correctness--

That it is time to kick butt--

My smarter half indicated we don't even need to hunt them down to get started--I replied excitedly, "Why, yes, we have six hundred at Guantanamo who can start dying right away!"

Underwear on their heads? No, razor wire.

Whenever the bad boys do a number they drop a dime on the media to show up ready to roll tape--

Let no street celebration of jackasses stoning burning HumVees go un-daisy-cuttered--

Mecca=glass parking lot; we assume the Saudi oil production and the peninsula becomes our fiftieth state.

Paraphasing Patton, the object is not to lose your head--the object is to make the other bastard lose his.

Evening Phil Dragoo

LOL!

Thanks for the great pics to go with the Alcan highway thread.

I agree with you about the velvet gloves. When we heard the news about Johnson, I told Snippy if I were in charge, I'd immediately take out about 50 Al Qaeda prisoners, line them up in front of a firing squad and execute them, making sure that any named in the terroists demands were included.

Predator drones would be waiting to drop in on any "photo ops" the terrorists stage to show off their AKs and RPGs.

Screw their "hearts and minds", put a few of these in their bodies.

BTTT!!!!!!
