A4s, you might wann try the search function, I know web-san reinstalled it.... :D

Hear, hear!! Their families will be in my prayers tonight.

It is what's her face from Varsity Blues.

There is two points being missed here: 1. Taiwan and PRC are very interdependent economically. Over the past few decades they have become increasingly more docile towards each other and they have allowed their economies become dependent on their profitable mutual trade. Any move that the PRC...

A4s, haven't you realized that man's presence on this earth is a distructive force and should be done away with? Come on man we should we be walking everwhere we go, wearing sweaters to stay warm, and eating nuts, twigs, and berries. Welcome to a world where the minority nut cases rule.

It goes without saying that a new engine would have to be developed. Looks like the Republicans are going to try push ANWR drilling through again.

The F-35 Swallow(s). Try that on for size.

To Bill Brasky, a two ton man-mountain who could palm a medicine ball, may he rest in peace. "Brasky still believes in Santa Claus, and he wants to put him in porno films." "You know, he would shoot whiskey into his neck with a syringe!" "Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky took...

But it is easier to break the surly bonds of gasoline than water, i.e. burning it. Even, if we stopped using petroleum for energy, we would still use it for plastics, lubircants, etc, etc, and with the decline in overall petroleum production those said items would become ever more expensive.

What's more, the true potential of gasoline is being wasted. If all the potential energy stored in the bonds between the hydrogen and carbon atoms, were released then there would be enough energy liberated to blow your pistons through the cylinder heads and through the hood. Even further, if...

Yeah and I really don't want to carry around a tank of hydrogen around. Can you say Zippo?

Hell yeah! Tap that ass...errrr...frozen wasteland!! Why import when we have our own? More especially after Iran's statement yesterday about siezing tankers that were coming out of the Persian Gulf, if we struck at their nukes.

A4s, I am sure you have done this. Probably into this very airport. http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/Videos/Boeing%20747%20Extreme%20Landing.mpg

Ask and ye shall recieve, oh experienced sage of the air. http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/Videos/707%20Roll.mpg (Pretty Big file)

Happy birthday Daedalus, may you never fly to close to the sun! And to many more birthdays to come!

....troubling to say the least. I don't think this is going to have pleasant end as we all would like.

Right. VN is just now emerging from the shadows of that war. They seem to be moving away from the hardcore Maxist-Minhism and more towards capitalism, much the way the PRC has done. A lot of that has come from tourism. You can go to the Cu Tri tunnel complex and take a tour through the tunnels...

It is very plausable expanation. But how does it account for the care package that his wife recieved back with stuff added to it? Sick practical joke by the NVN?

Bing, Bing, Bing, we have a winner! CAPT Estocin is right. He had a Perry class frigate christened after him. The website that I was looking at indicated that he might still be alive and captive. I found this interesting: http://members.tripod.com/~Firebase_Freedom/pow.html I wonder if...

Okay here is another one. Who is the only Naval Aviator since Korea win the CMOH for a combat role in the air?

The "Lady Jesse" tradition originated with the CO of VA-164, LCDR Richard C. Perry,who applied the name to his aircraft in honor of his friend Mrs Jessie Beck. Perry had become good friends with Jessie Beck while he was a student working at her Reno Hotel and casino. On August 31 1967, LCDR...

The towing/impound companies in Houston have a sweet gig. Under a new ordinanced passed by the City Council, if your vehicle breaks down, has a flat, runs out of gas on the freeway, a wrecker will be called out to tow it off the freeway to their lot for a $75 fee. It helped with congestion, but...

I read in the paper, yesterday, where the European Union trade office is now threatening Thailand with trade sanctions against their fishing industy if they do not buy 10 A-380s. Not only are they insensitive enough to extort the Thais, but they are going to extort them during the wake of one...

I agree with Skid, the best way to handle Iran is to arm abd push the resistance and revolutionary groups into action, then give them all the support that they need including airsupport and special forces once they make their move. There is no need for the US to get involved in a ground war...

I am a dummy, I just looked at the Navy's website. That is exactly what is being done. The Austin class are to be incrementally decommissioned as the San Antonios are commissioned. And all but four Spruances have been decommissioned. Then it is dumb to me to cut the San Antonios, especially...

I can't see axing the San Antonios, but the DDXs, I can. If you are wanting to add mobility in the War on Terror, then why cut a platform that is designed to increase the mobility and support of the Marines? The Burkes are fairly new, with the first commissioned in '91, there are five to be...

I be the only pirate ye have to worry about! Arrrrrrr.... Seriously, when the Boat People fled Cambodia and Vietnam pirates would descend on them and relieve them of their worldly possessions, food, and water. Come on how twisted do you have to be to steal food and water from refugees? That's...

I like Churchill's because he put it more succintly.

Here is a question for you. Did you have to fill out an application, a phyiscal, and a uniform chart as a basic college programer or did you do that once you got into advanced standing? The LT, the the unit I am trying to join, said that I needed to fill all that out after my transfer had been...

Those are some good quotes Prop, but I had to go with Churchill. It was a toss up between Ambrose, Churchill, and the Duke.

I am going to see it. From what I have seen of the trailers and what I know of the man from biographies, it looks to be a fairly accurate portrayal of Hughes. But I'd have to watch the movie to be sure if it was. If for anything I am going, to see the H-1 in flight. That is beautiful a...

ROFLMAO!!!

Sweet. I went to A&M for a science symposium while I was in high school. It happened to fall on Howdy Day. Everywhere I turned someone was saying, "Howdy" for no apparent reason, besides hearing themselves say it. I thought I was going to go nuts. The only place where I heard "howdy" in it's...

I noticed that, too. Someone who will remain nameless gave me negative points and gave a postive comment for the O'Reilly V Moore thread. I wondered who the goofball was, now I know and knowing is half the battle. I can see you, too, and it is nice.

Fireval, I am doing the same thing, if my I admitted, and I have the same question. What are unit are you joining? I am going into NROTC Houston at Rice.

I participated in a discussion on OIF in, of all classes, is US in Vietnam. I was amazed at the points being brought up in the discussion, most of ideas expressed were that of the Michael Moore vantage point. That we diverted from hunting OBL, that we didn't finish in Afghanistan, that we went...

Damnit Cate, you just had to through that in there and make me spew Coke all over my monitor, didn't you?!. Very funny by the way. Here is a tribute to that thought:

ROFLMAO! Its like whoa!

Thanks for adding them, webmaster, they are great! I just saw the one with the dog from "Family Guy", that was friggin' hilarious!

Springfield has a 1911-A1 with a 6 inch slide to further improve accuracy. If only I had the money, as it is I am going to have to rub some pennies together to get some dimes to get the GI 1911.

H&K makes some terrific submachine guns like the MP 5, I have a friend who has one.

That's why a 1911-A1 is the only pistol I'll ever own. I am looking at Springfield's version they call the "GI .45 1911-A1". I shot one a few years ago and that was the sweetest pistol I have ever shot.

Nope. I am stone sober and I thought it was funny.

Here's a question for you- when gpa is looked at, is it cummulative from all institutions that you have attended? Or do they look at only the institution that you are currently attending?

From the looks of it I will be attending U of H in the spring and entering the College Program with the NROTC unit at Rice. So, are there any guys out there with the NROTC unit in Houston? Is there any information you can give from a Mids perspective? I have been in sporadic e-mail contact a...

I think the Bush team realised that and that is a reason why they went into Iraq. If you can make Iraq a stable democracy in a morass of islamo-fascist totalarianism, then it will give the people of the region something to aspire to. It is like, "Hey, they are Arabs and they have a democracy why...

Yeah, what was it Churchill said? "There are no perminant allies, only perminant interests."

Who did we fight our first war against as the United States against? The French in the Quasi War. We kicked their ass, at least the Navy did since it was a naval war. Don't forget their aide to the South during the Civil War, in the form of the commerce raiders. Thier opposition to NATO and...

Yes, but it seems more and more that Chirac's and Putin's opposition are not on moralistic grounds, as say Germany, but greed. They accuse us of invading Iraq for oil, but who was benefiting the most from Saddam? A la Oil for Food. What's even sadder is that they are masquerading around as if OF...

From my understanding the AQR is a composite score on how well you did in in the various sections. So you would have to do terrible across the board, to get a score that low.
