What do you say to a Marine war dog? Semper Fido Happy belated birthday Marines.

Each to their own, I guess. IMO, they're nasty, destructive animals that I have waged war with for a long time. Good luck with them, especially after they start increasing in numbers.

Just tell 'em that you were in the movie The Postman Rings Twice.

Thank You Veterans

Maybe for a reduction in retirement benefits is he was eligible for retirement? IE- Captain demoted to Lieutenant.

Okay, I'll bite...what's with the flower?

Capping bets isn't going to do anything. Make multiple bets, betting the same thing...that simple. People will bet on anything, especially when it comes to sports. Look at Super Bowl betting, they even bet on how long it takes to sing the National Anthem. How hard would it be to coerce the singer to slow pace down and lengthen the song by 5 seconds? That's just the tip of the iceberg. When there's money involved, people will cheat or at the very least, try to.

Everyone keeps suggesting nitrile gloves. Wouldn't you need gloves to put on the gloves? There is absolutely no way to put the nitrile gloves on without touching the outside of the gloves with bare fingers. Wouldn't that leave prints on the outside of the glove(s) that could be transferred to unintended objects? I would think that cotton or other type of cloth gloves would be more desirable.

When I was a kid, I tried many multiple times to replicate it.....never worked. Guess you just got to be a half-breed Vulcan.

Someone else probably bet that Pages would swing on that particular pitch.

I'll wager, no pun intended, that almost all sports have illegal betting activities. Think about it... - Quarterback throws an interception when there is no receiver even close to the interception. - Running back fumbles the ball without being touched. - Crew chief calls for 4 tires during a late pit stop under caution with two laps to go. - Golfer blows an easy put by a wide margin. - Basketball player, known for their high scoring, misses a ton of shots. Many, many other scenarios that I've witnessed while watching sports that make me wonder... If I had to guess, it was probably the sports bookies that got the investigation going in the first place after huge payouts on very long odds on very odd bets.

Threw away their careers, their incomes, and possibly their freedom, all for 'chump change'. If found guilty, I hope they are significantly fined, banned for life from the game, imprisoned (in a real prison) for an appropriate amount of time and permanently expelled from the US.

That place in in Clearwater, Florida. It has/had a wrecked airplane next to that sign. I don't know why they want to hire more gators though.

No socks, how gauche! At least I wear socks with my flip flops in the winter.

Looks like it's time to break out the winter shorts.

They now ring the bell 30 times to honor Gordon Lightfoot for telling the story that would otherwise be forgotten....

All of those "other" ships weren't there to protect the battlewagon from other battlewagons.

Use a .44 Auto Mag, it removes the fingerprints if used properly!

Probably stealing it for trade bait with the beavers.

He opened up a whole other door that I'm not sure that humanity was ready for. RIP Dr. Watson

One thousand dollars doesn't mean much to someone that has a million....but a dollar means a lot to someone that only has one hundred dollars. Far as charities, Hospice and local, no kill, animal shelters come to mind.

Don't ask me, I don't make it...my gal does. I eat it and it's REAL good. I guess it's an old recipe she got from a lady who's now deceased. If I can find the recipe, without my gal finding out, I'll post it in the pinned food section of the Saloon. She keeps her favorite recipes "secret" for some reason.

#1 - Just had cottage cheese and pears a few days ago. Cottage cheese on top of the pears/juice with a little nutmeg on top....YUM. Pears have to be chilled for it to work. #2 - I always thought it was nasty. #3 - I still make this on occasion. Quick sandwich that tastes good to me. #4 - Being from the South, I always liked liver and onions. Like other organ food also. #5 - Like the bacon and blue cheese but never have like lettuce...no matter what anyone puts on it. #6 - Never liked anything to do with Spam. #7 - Seriously? How in the heck did that ever make the list? #8 - Still make SOS on a regular basis. My gal doesn't like it, oh well, means I get three pieces of toast instead of two! #9 - My Ambrosia definition and theirs differs greatly. #10 - Pineapple has no place on anything other that a "wedding cake". My gal has a killer recipe that people love, me too.
