Spring Tournement will begin!

@Linkon:

The Medusa robbery/murders:

in 2009,
the 1st bank of Corinth got robbed by a lone gunman with a ski mask.

As he was exiting , a brave customer reached out and pulled off the his mask to reveal his face.  The gunman shot him dead with a single bullet.

The gunman looked around , one of the tellers was standing , and looking straight at his face.

The gunman walked over to the teller , and also shot him dead where he stood.

The gunman looked around the bank again.Â

Now the employees and customers were all huddled to the ground, everybody was face down.

Just to be sure he could leave, the gunman shouted out,  " Who else , has seen my face ?"

a few seconds later,

an elderly gentleman whimpered  aloud.  " M - M - My Wife, ….

my wife , I think she caught A GOOD GLIMPSE of you."

LOL!

It adds some variety to the otherwise McFarlane dominated line up. I miss King of the Hill.

@Janus1:

asmodeus: kind of an esoteric reference there, huh?
ralph reid: dont know who he is, and couldnt find out from google.

as far as hillary: my dislike of her has nothing to do with her politics. i know next to nothing about her politics, and the one issue i actually know her position on, i more or less agree with (more than any other politician ive heard). so why do i dislike her? dont know really. something about her gives me one impression: power-hungry manipulative b****. i dont know where i got that, nor do i know why or how. but i greatly dislike her, and it has nothing to do with her politics. that said, if she is elected, im moving to canada.

I can give you a good reason not to like her.  After 911 she charged that the administration should have told the people of Manhatan that the air could be contaminated by the explosions (on 911).  She used it as a mud slinging game with Bush, saying how he doesn’t care about the long term effects of exposure, cover up… all that nonsense.  She is not a stupid woman, she is like you said “a power-hungry manipulative b****”.  She knows very well that telling people on 911 that the air could hurt them would have caused a panic.  Manhattan is an island with only a few bridges.  10s, if not100s of thousands would have died in the ensuing stampede.

She is not fit to be a senator, much less our president.

Ha! Haven’t you seen The Simpsons? There was a comet coming for them, but they found some way to destroy it or deflect it or something. If we can remember what they did, there’s hope for us yet.

(and of course there’s Armageddon style 8). The movie, I mean.)

As long as FOX News doesn’t get “liberalized” it’s all kosher… :wink:

The “Mighty Ducks”…Is that a cute name or what? Gawd,they should have came up with a better moniker…However,the Pond (where the Ducks play),has a section of die-hards they call “Pond Scum”…Now thats funny!!

Mr. Ghoul, I think the Japanese started in China as far back as 1933. You are right as to why the US cut off her fuel supplies. You’re right that didn’t give the Japanese the right to attack in the minds of the US and according to their law. And that is probably the right position legally. However, how would the US react if her oil supply was threatened. Ahhhhh yes, if radical Islam swept across all the oil in the middle east and the world decided to shut of the oil to the US. How would the US react.

The only difference is the degree to which their arguments are valid. Both Japan in 1940 and the US in the last 5 years of done some bad stuff, broken internation law etc. Of course the rape of Nanking is orders of magnitude worse then anything the US has done since perhaps the Indian wars, even then it was spread out over centuries not weeks.

I believe the US had and has laws on her books not to sell weapons to countries at war that don’t involve the US. The US was not at war during WWII until Dec 8, 1941. Therefore it was illegal for the US to supply ANY weapons or war materials to any country at war during the period preceding Dec, 8 1941. The US doesn’t like syria selling weapons to Iraq now, why should they expect war time Germany to like the US selling weapons to England.

In fact, Germany had a legal right to stop and sink any ships entering the british home waters found to be carring war materials. But I digress on this law and history lesson.

When this one ends, we’ll see. This could take awhile!
