Shamu

I have to go find me one.

I will take you up on that, perhaps I can send my address to you via message. In return I will make an additional donation to XI over and above my normal donation. BTW, I previously sent you a message. Some day I must visit the wall. To my regret two friends are inscribed. I went into the Army almost right out of high school and was out in Nov. 64 just when Nam was heating up. They did not, they got drafted and paid the ultimate price.

Ordered CD for "After the War"

Damn Gorilla, I liked that one. My citified ass will take a break since I am only a country wannabe. It is a little difficult seeing Clinton in the Vid. Shame I can't find the song on i Tunes.

As a senior citizen qualified to evaluate all topics of conversation I have to say that town size, especially in Colorado, does not qualify as "Country" Probably some hippie town or jet set location. Population does not set the qualification of "country", country is an attitude or way of life as the Blake Shelton song says. Beer, jeans, cowboy hat, pick up trucks, boot scooting and women. Anyway you are straying off topic in your defense. The lead post was a true "Country" song which generally means something like Nashville with the proper attitude. I will give props to Willie Nelson from Texas. And Billy Bobs in old Fort Worth has a touch of country. At least you did not try to claim John Denver and Rocky Mountain High as "country" in defense of Colorado. While I do like John Denver he too was a country wannabe and merely made a nice buck off of his bogus image instead of folk songs. Arrrrghhhh! I am tired and rambling and making no sense. To tired to edit, need to go to bed.

Can't happen, besides neither Denver or Dallas really qualify for country.

I am just a "Country Wannabe". Does that count for anything?

Rearrange the following letters to spell out an important part of the human body which is even more useful when erect: P N E S I . . . . . . . . . . . . . People who wrote SPINE became doctors... The rest are all my XI friends...

You go ahead and worry about the bollocks, I'll keep an eye out on the antlers. When in rut seeing an animal 7 ft high at the shoulder and 1500 lbs heading for you with ill intent is a disturbing sight.

24 Hrs should work for anyone. If not, shame on ya.

I would give my spiel about "just shoot the bastards" but I would be accused of being racist instead of just being opposed to illegal immigration / smugglers.

You are right, I'm done.

Very greatful I turned it off at 1-0 and went on to more interesting things in life.

1-0 Spain. Game over, do something else and don't waste your time watching for the pleasure of good sport.

I just had a report (2:00 PM EDT) from my daughter, her husband, John (Gianfranco) born in Italy, is at the local Italian club with his Bocce team and appears to be a little drunk even before the game begins. John also carries on the old family tradition of wine making using the old wood press and Jack Daniels whiskey barells. She said a few cartons of bottles went to the car before he left. I can bet tears will be shed if Italy loses.

I have Verizon, and while I have no pricing knowledge as to it's good or bad I will say the service is excellant. Call quality is clear and I rarely ever drop a call even though I travel quite a bit. Been with Verizon for quite some time and have never seen a need to switch. Phone is a HTC Thuderbolt.

If you don't fish you should take them noodling..............with them in a T-Shirt.

General Guidelines 1. Never take a beer to a job interview. 2. Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them. 3. It's considered poor taste to take a cooler to church. 4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it is time to change the sheets. 5. Even if you're certain that you are included in the will, it is still considered tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral home. Dining Out 1. If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your fingers covering the label. 2. Avoid throwing bones and food scraps on the floor as the restaurant may not have dogs. ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME 1. A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist. 2. Do not allow the dog to eat at the table no matter how good his manners are. PERSONAL HYGIENE 1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be done in private using one's OWN truck keys 2. Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days. However, if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of good money. 3. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as they tend to detract from a woman's jewelry and alter the taste of finger foods. DATING (OUTSIDE THE FAMILY) 1. Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date. 2. Be aggressive. Let her know you're interested: 'I've been wanting to go out with you since I read that stuff on the bathroom wall two years ago.' 3. Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some will say 10:00 PM; others might say 'Monday.' If the latter is the answer, it is the man's responsibility to get her to school on time. 4. Always have a positive comment about your date's appearance, such as, 'Ya'll sure don't sweat much for a fat gal.' WEDDINGS 1. Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding gift. 2. Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get you shot. 3. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A leisure suit with a cummerbund and a clean bowling shirt can create too sporty an appearance. 4. Though uncomfortable, say 'yes' to socks and shoes for this special occasion. 5. It is not appropriate to tell the groom how good his wife is in the sack. DRIVING ETIQUETTE 1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if the gun is loaded, and the deer is in sight. 2. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires always has the right of way. 3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape. 4. When sending your wife/girlfriend down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer. 5. Never relieve yourself from a moving vehicle, especially when driving. 6. Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.

Heck, I usually do not participate in birthday greetings but I must make an exception for someone older than me. From one who's balls occasionally do dangle in the toilet water, Happy Birthday!

Italy was the only team I saw that scored more than 1 goal. Based on a dynamic and devastating offense I shall have to root for Italia! Whoot!!!! 2 whole goals, how exciting.

Well, at least some goals were scored. Forza Azzurri! ( I think I got that right. )
