To anyone who has ever served this country and those that have fought and died for her.

Specific mentions:
A family member who lived in Pennsylvania during the Revolutionary War - He let Rebel troops live and train on his land

The several family members who fought for the north during the Civil War

My Great Grandfather's brother - He answered the call during WWI, but was found to have a heart condition and shipped home before he could go overseas

My late Grandmother's father - He served in WWII and in Korea. He earned 2 bronze stars and 3 silver stars as well as the purple heart

My late Grandmother's Uncle - Served in the Army during WWII in Europe

My Grandfather's Brother in Law(still living) - He flew P-38 Lightnings during WWII

My Grandfather's cousin - He died in Pearl Harbor on the USS Arizona

My Grandfather(still living) - Served in the tail end of WWII and two tours of duty during the Korean War as a Seabee in the Pacific

To the majority of my grandparent's friends, some still living, some dead, who served in all the different branches of the service from WWII through Veitnam

My Stepdad(still living) - He served in Veitnam and survived three helicopter crashes, two of which he was the only one to live

One of my best friends through elementary school, middle school and high school(still living) - He was EOD(bomb squad) in Iraq. Their armored bomb removal vehicle was hit with a particularly nasty IED and he was the only one to survive. He was sent home on leave after the explosion, since the other three in the vehicle with him were killed, and he had a diving accident, which has left him paralyzed.

"People or Sheeple"

The Lord helps those who help themselves.

The cute chimp attacks the owner’s best friend and eats her face and hands off. The primate’s owner calls 911 and cries for help that, as always, comes much too late.

A nine year old little girl takes the 160 pound bull mastiff for a walk and loses control. The giant dog clamps down on her head and all people can do is scream and yell.

Another nine year old little girl steps off the school bus in rural Michigan and is instantly attacked by a pack of feral dogs, all wearing collars. Again, all anybody can do is scream as the helpless girl’s face and head is ripped to shreds.


The elderly lady leisurely strolls along the causeway like she does every evening, when out from the canal lunges a prehistoric monster, its rows of teeth clamping down on her torso, nearly cutting her in half. The 12 foot alligator drags the gasping senior citizen into the shallow water and devours her.

The insane lady lifts herself over the barrier so she can pet the 1000 pound polar bear, but instead is clawed into the jaws of the carnivore as all the zoo goers wail pathetically to no avail.

A young athletic gal enters her apartment building in San Francisco after her daily jog and is met by a pair of snarling Doberman pincers that savagely attack and kill her.

The Michigan farmer enters the breeding pen of his whitetail deer and is gored and nearly killed by the dominant buck. His cries for help are heard by no one.

Two punks taunt the regal Indian tiger in its cage at the San Francisco zoo. The giant killer cat leaps up and over its moat and easily catches and kills one punk and severely injures the other. No one hears their cries (and in this case, that’s just as well. I’m on the tiger’s side).

The animal control officer responds to an emergency call about a pit bull attacking neighbors, but she arrives with only a flimsy net and the powerful dog nearly kills her.

A bobcat crashes through a window at a local tavern and begins chasing patrons, clawing and biting people at will. Everybody scurries about helplessly and cannot stop the rabid kill crazy cat.

The bicycler pedals through a curve on the bike path near San Diego when a hungry mountain lion catapults onto him, biting his neck, and dragging him off into the brush. Other cyclists scream and holler but the cougar ignores them and kills its victim.

A young boy zips up his sleeping bag in the Canadian park for a night of camping, but is savagely attacked by a large black bear. The boy’s family yells and throws pots and pans at the bear who is dragging the helpless boy off into the wilderness, where it kills and eats him.

The stoned hippie spends years in the Alaskan wilderness, and in a drug induced stupor, he pretends to befriend grizzly bears and give them names. He and his girlfriend are killed and eaten by his new friends.

A family is picnicking in Northern California when a mountain lion stalks their picnic table and grabs the mother by the throat and drags her off into the forest. All anybody can do is scream and yell and cry.

I could go on, but I just thought I would mention that carrying a gun might be a good idea. Nah. Some people are sheeple.

DragnWondr: Im a hipy!

Jesus Mules

So, in talking to Isa tonight, she mentions Jesus Mules. My fantastical brain meats instantly compare it to the Jesus Lizard and I ask...

"So, does that mean it can walk on water?"

From there it went to

"What, so when they die they come back 3 days later?"

Then in telling Marcie about it and cackling still

"I hear they also have holes in their hooves."
and
"They can also turn a water trough into a wine trough!"

Yes, I'm a bad deist and I'm so going to hell for this.

Most Creative...

Most creative way of getting off the phone for the year goes to Marcie.

"Oh my god, I gotta, go, I just heard someone talking about shitting on the floor!"
