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,...

Let me know if you ever need a replacment office crazy...

You've got a bunch of people ahead of you in my office alone.

[melodie]

thanks for the hook up

[mwl1]

sounds ominous, I agree

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Annan said he did not think a Security Council appeal for a cease-fire would work.

Yes, but what did Jesse Jackson and Jimmy Carter say? (^;

Sorry.

I just came from the USO Canteen, went to find some virtual coffee for pitinkie, and they're having a luau...on a virtual beach.

Stole this from Meekie.
Here you go, pitinkie -

This could be a long night.

[null and void]

Bats eat bugs, right? Well, do they really have a whole lot of bugs in the desert for the bats to eat? I live in the midwest and was under the impression that there aren't a whole lot of bugs in the desert.

They come out at night. Most desert life is either nocturnal or crepuscular.

[pitinkie]

welcome!

[Poser]

My trick to good coffee is the old, stainless steel percolator. This drip stuff is watery and tasteless.

Beret Boy saying, "They are trapped everywhere. They are trapped in Umm Qasr. They are trapped everywhere."

Hope he's keeping up with his Kegels.

[pitinkie]

Hey thats cute!! Thanks!

[ztiworoh]

Nah, gotta go French....umm I mean "Freedom"... Press Coffee

[null and void]

I am now telling him that I will then be obsessed with SARS.

Four cases in my little 'burg...

[PrivateIdaho]

Some lights coming on in Baghdad

You mean the two lights that came on on the BagCam? It almost looked like they were hoisted up from the ground. Can't explain it, but they didn't just come on, they were sort of gradually raised up.

[Redcloak]

Hope he's keeping up with his Kegels.

Now there's a visual we really didn't need.

[Poser]

Freedom Press? Is that one of those glass things with the plunger?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Wow, now that you mention it...BG Brooks and Tiger do sound alike. Same style, too...straight-talkers.

The squinty Pete Pace look reminds me of Eastwood..."Make my day, Tariq."

We're in good hands.

[ztiworoh]

yep

Makes it stronger, more hearty

Best Coffee in the world though is Cuban Coffee - Cafe Con Leche

[pitinkie]

Just got a few here in Fla.

[Carolina]

Oh no, here comes the - 'Ok Guys - which airplane do you most resemble physically?' portion of the thread.

:~P

[hispanarepublicana]

Is anybody monitoring the CBS webcam? I just started and saw 2 vehicles closely following each other.....has there been much road activity downtown?

[retrokitten]

Can't explain it, but they didn't just come on, they were sort of gradually raised up.

First rods now lights lifting up under thier own power? Strange things are afoot on the Bag Cam.
