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, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service (tm), the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

"Has anybody you don't know handled your luggage (wink wink) before we loaded it on the bus?"

[gop212]

Sorry. We all had to endure it too.

[juzcuz]

Are you typing with your middle toe...???

[Consort]

..Nadler...before going in a diet.

i can't tell the difference between a warthog or an AC 130 flying overhead. ...

See, to tell the difference between the two planes, ya gotta look at where the bullets that are killin' you are comin' from.

If they're big bullets comin' at you from the side, and the airplane is driving in circles, it's an AC-130.

If the big bullets are comin' at you from the front, and the airplane is also comin' straight at you from the front and looks very, very ugly, it's an A-10.

In either case, you'e lookin' at death.

[commish]

LOL .. I always thought of it as .. if you see a Tornado fo death heading toward you It's an AC-130 .. if you see a plane with Mickey Mouse ears coming straight toward you it's an A-10

[ztiworoh]

I dont see any difference...

[Eaker]

If you can't tell an AC-130 from a A-10 you are probably forgetting to kiss your a$$ goodbye too!!!

[POGIFFMOO]

If you got to say "what is that?" before you died, it was a C-130.

[no-s]

notice the "technicals" headed down the street towards the marines (on msnbc2). I expect it's going to get noisy again.

[MEG33]

Big fight described 7th cav Tank battle on way to Baghdad. They killed alot of enemy tanksCNN.

[johnnyd]

Thank You...Thank You...Thank You!!!!

[Timeout]

At the risk of getting flamed, is there has there been any news from the front in the last few hours?

(Donning MOPP gear....now!)

[cibco]

"Is the airlift into the northern front still continuing? I'm wondering if we'll see a Coalition attack into Baghdad from the North in the coming days?"

Have you forgotten the II MEF? They are out there "cloaked" somewhere...

[Socratic]

I like those three words together: Clinton has been.

[ztiworoh]

Umm Ollie says he and the Marines are well into Baghdad, not on outskirts

that's about it though

[Robert A Cook PE]

Don't recognize "Tumwater" - Shounds like it's near the Bay area?

[johnnyd]

That would be "Fat Bas^%rd" I believe.
