The big 'E' is dead! Long live the big 'E'

Yes, old thread but new posting:

While watching NCIS season 8 episode 16 last night, I noticed a comment that the guy “preferred the Axis” according to fingerprint analysis. I froze screen and determined that in fact they were discussing an Axis & Allies game. It took a moment to see the game as it was upside down and barely open, but this is another cameo for A&A.

They didn’t say nice things about the guy who “preferred the Axis” FYI…

P.S. That must’ve been a heck of a fingerprint analysis!

@Flashman:

Return to Oz was seriously disturbing.

Oh my God… I forgot about that one. Yeah, I have some vague memories of seeing that at my aunt’s house late one night… made absolutely no sense to me. I just recall monkeys on unicycles.

Yes Tall Paul; I agree. Except when that Yankee Brad Putt blows it up!
I will be sad.

Seeing Hooker was never going to take the offensive, Lee pulled two more Divisions, those of South Carolinian RH Anderson and Georgian Lafayette McLaws from in front of Hooker and led them himself against Sedgwick in conjunction with Jubal Early. It was to be a day of frustration for Lee, as he could not prod McLaws forward and get the 3 division attack going. Sedgwick withdrew over Banks’ Ford when he lost Marye’s Heights to Early.(Early had a great battle.)
This was the cue for Hooker to call the campaign over and he withdrew over US Ford on the 5th. Casualties were high for the four day battle: 13000 for Lee and 17000 for Hooker. Lee’s proportion was too high, considering he only had 60000 to start with.
Lee and the South had bettered an army twice the size of their own and given Virginia breathing space. Lee’s next move, as it had been in 62, after a victory, was to move North.
Gettysburg awaited.
Jackson would never again be Lee’s “right arm”’ as he passed away on the 10th from complications from his amputation.
His last words were: let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.

I love kitties!!

Dogs are cool but to me cats rule. I have always had kitties throughout my life so I love kitties as well!!

Eh, I’ve got no particular take on ‘em. I suppose they could be cool, but I’ve never liked the whole atmosphere of collectable stuff. Give me good ol’ Diplomacy any day :D.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Dungy family.  Really tragic.

I hadn’t heard anything about a suicide till seeing those links.
I thought I read something about no foul play earlier in the day.
I suppose it could have been accidental, maybe he mixed the wrong type of stuff???
I suppose it could have been drug related, but everything I’ve heard and read would seem to negate that.
And there are instances of young people having heart problems or something.

At this point there is too much unknown for me, I’ll just wait for the coming reports.

In any case, what a tough situation, and right around the Holidays too.  Really really sad.   :cry:
