For $7.29 that had better be an amazing pretzel.
Must be a bitch to mow, though.
#15 That is the slowest-acting stroke I've ever seen. Come on, speed it up!
#6 Bugles (lower right) are made from corn.
In karate you get a black belt, in poetry you get a crimson cloak.
#40 Too soon.
They eliminated the helmet can footage.
You're only getting one of those meat pkgs for $12.50 today.
Her husband probably made @ $3,000-$4,000/year, butter was 5 cents (Note: the cent symbol was removed from most keyboards over 20 years ago), each of those cans not more than 10 cents, the pkgs of meat were probably 25 cents per lb., and the bread was a nickel.
#18 We all need Rorschach masks to avoid the surveillance state.
bumps dumps jumps and speed
Sgts have to run, too. All I was saying is, if you start at 42, your joints are already starting to ache when it gets rainy, and ducking under a rope can throw your back out, boot camp will be a special kind of hell.
Nah, you're good. That was my error.
You're right, two separate times.
One observation regarding phases of the moon: At the end of chap. VI, you talk about the sun setting in the west, and the moon low in the eastern sky. On the next page, the first sentence of chap. VII is "The moon, although in its last quarter ...". But what you have actually described is a full moon alignment (sun at the W horizon, moon at the E horizon). A last quarter moon does not rise until @ midnight, and is directly overhead at 6am. Otherwise, I'm enjoying the read.
You're 62 when you get out if you put in the full 20 years. I realize that soldiers are in much better shape than me, but a 60 yo guy running across an open area carrying a 50-cal is not a mental picture that inspires confidence.
Every candidate for Congress needs to sign a pledge to enact a law that they (Congress, the president, and the Supreme Court) don't get paid if ANY group of federal employees remains unfunded due to congressional gridlock. The ones we elect don't get paid until the people they hire get paid.
Panther! I could not come up with that word and wrote puma, instead.
Every year. We put a dock in at my in-laws place, on a pond, and had to paddle around in the canoe the next spring to find it.
We've gone from "The buck stops here" (Truman) to "I'm not responsible for any of it". It's always someone else.
So what is the difference between a leopard, a jaguar, and a puma? They all seem to be different colors on the same frame.
I once emptied the chad bins for all the IBM-029 card punches at school into a plastic bag, then chased my friend until I hit him over the head with the bag. The bag broke and chads went everywhere.
Your tax dollars at work!
#14 That averages out to a call every 24 minutes.
#15 So, which one was lying? Or were they BOTH lying? Certainly, the second one does not speak ONLY lies.
#25 It took me longer than pride will allow me to state to come up with lift, flat, and chips.
Israel does not mind other countries talking about the unconfirmed Israeli nuclear weapons program. Letting other countries know they have the bomb, without actually saying they have the bomb, creates enough uncertainty that you have to assume they really do have the bomb, whether they do or not.
I live on a highway. A four-lane, undivided, no parking either side, numbered route, which also happens to be Main Street. First, you want to plant as much shrubbery in front of the house as possible to cut down the noise. Next, you get the most powerful snow blower out there, because you are getting twice the snowbanks as the side streets. You are only allowed indoor pets (I lost 4-5 cats to that road as a kid).
#94 I've always associated the name "Riff Raff" with the evil villain with kaleidoscope eyes in Underdog.
I've saved an image of his comment to use in that instance, just so they know where I'm coming from.
