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,...

15 Minutes and 150 posts to go to get 4000. Where's AppyPappy?

[CurlyBill]

You'd think they would be tired of turning these car alarms off by now... Maybe they are afraid that the Fedayeen will comandeer their cars!

If you had gotten about 3 or 4 fuzzy navels in your system, you wouldn't have cared about HER fuzzy navel... ;)

In the morning, we were getting our asses kicked, it was a morass, a horror. (paraphrasing) But in the afternoon, all was well on the battle fronts and we were being cheered by the Iraqi people. Triumph.

Now I understand. In the morning I was listening to NPR, and in the evening, I was listening to Fox!

LOL... that'll teach you to get news from NPR   :-)

[Fledermaus]

I believe I did...I know Col. Hunt says it often

Retrokitty posted it in the photo album too.

I haven't heard a call to pray in days

Iraqi imam strangled the last cat?

[glock rocks]

That'd be a bummer to get a speeding ticket while you were being invaded!

but officer, i was merely trying to outrun the A-10.

[Capitalism2003]

everyone, check it out! The EXCITEMENT!

[CurlyBill]

You know something .. I haven't heard a call to pray in days

Heard it yesterday on the Bagcam, but I thought it was Tom Daschle with a bullhorn!!

[commish]

THat was about the sickest sounding police car I have ever heard.

[Green]

what are all those sirens? sheesh...is the patrol car going around the circle?

[eyespysomething]

what kinda sirens were those. They just stoppped too. Are they gonna commandeer the cams? Come on and yell "We are winning against the Great Satan and his infidels" "Wahhhh, I want my saddammy"

[ztiworoh]

Cool pic of blow'd up iraqi vehicles on road to Baghdad on FNC

[Timeout]

Can a military person explain something to me???

we keep seeing the tanks with at least one man up top outside the hatch. Does he stay up there, even in battle? I always thought they all hunched down inside.

[Mo1]

FOFL..

[no-s]

Hey! Is that Fiske walking around on the corner?

[Poser]

Yup. It's still exceedingly dull.

[DollyCali]

Nice homepage. Beautiful family!

Another white SUV just pulled in the Bagcam Parking lot. Looks like it is starting to get quite smoky in the area too.
