*Let's get one thing straight..I've not been drinking*

But he was so good! With the alphabet..which I could never do...to adding several nifty dance steps to the officer's DUI test...but he really impressed me when he only took an instant to realize when he blew it.

That's a man I admire. And did you see those legs? They go on forever!

[Lady Jag]

Neither can I, sometimes I fear not getting the alphabet forward. Two thumbs up for the guy with the legs and the dance steps!

DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- A B-1B from the 337th Test and Evaluation Squadron here releases a Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile over the White Sands Missile Range, N.M.

I love the older classics. Although most new movies are flashy special affects generated on an outsourced computer somewhere, the only special affects on the classics, were the actors themselves. That's what separates the good from the great.

I don't if you guys listen to ole Rush this morning he has funny interview with some lady urging wives train their husbands like Dog

For the most part of that, I agree.

But one has to be fair to new actors and cinematographers.

Some of the are quite good.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I like new movies because they've made strides in color, sound, presentation, all of which has contributed to quality movies. The downside, is the acting is spotty. Whereas, with the old classic, except for Alfred Hitchcock, the story and actor made the movie. Hitchcock could take a so-so actor and the movie would be a hit.

[EsmeraldaA]

Ohh yes, you are right about that one. :-)

Seven did you catch this on Drudge, it seems that the self-proclaimed president of Turkmanistan doesn't like recorded music and has banned it throughout his country. Also he closed down all hospitals except those in the capitol. This is the same guy who renamed eleven months on the official calendar after his relatives. I wonder if he, Hugo Chavez, and Mini-Me were seperated at birth...
