Really? How much smiling did / do you do while you're working. Well? How much? C'mon, we're all friends here. You can tell us.
I smile all the time at my job. Of course, if I frowned while chewing gum like Marge, it would probably worry the vets I work with.

Battlestar Galactica, the remake. I watched a podcast of Katee Sackhoff's, (Starbuck) a while back where she was talking to Trish Heffler, (Cylon Number 6). Trish had this very problem during production of the show. Her hair got so brittle that it was breaking just from being brushed. She wound up wearing wigs because of it.
You beat me to it. I saw the same thing.

I have some questions.
HK - what is that Smith & Wesson?
Why are so many of you taking two long arms? "I take this for my rifle and for my shotgun I will use"??? Why do you have a rifle and a shotgun? There's a war going on. You might get in a fight with somebody. Since it's very difficult to shoot a long arm accurately with one hand, you're going to have to drop one of them. Hopefully you don't have to move, so when the fights over you can find the one you dropped.
If I went in the battle with two pistols, that would be okay. I have one holstered on my side and the other one under my arm. Neither one of them interferes with me shooting my rifle or shotgun or machine gun or whatever the hell my long gun is.
But two long guns?? Why???
Because everyone else was.
In that case, even though I could sling one and carry one, I will leave the shotguns at home.

When I saw the title of this thread, my reaction was...
Let's play Global Thermo-Nuclear War.
How about a nice game of chess?That was my first thought also. I even heard that computerized voice in my head.

Hmmm... 1911 or Browning Hi-Power and M-1 Carbine for me, along with a SxS shotgun. Friend gets whatever pistol I don't choose, along with M-1 Carbine and SxS shotgun.

Funerals and memorials are an indulgence for the living, and hopefully give the survivors a sense of peace and closure.
I could not agree more. This past weekend I went to my brother-in-law's funeral. It began with a mariachi band (he was native El Salvadoran, naturalized as a US citizen and loved the music). A brief service by a Catholic deacon, and eulogy given by his sons. It was one meant for those he left behind.
I've given two eulogies, the first for my father-in-law, the second for my father. Both were painful for different reasons, but I believe both allowed me to heal. My father-in-law wasn't religious, so that made a difficult situation at least a little easier. My father was supposed to be eulogized by a person of his faith (Jehovah's Witness), but he couldn't make it at the last minute so I filled in, and did the best I could to make my aunt, his only living sibling who also shares his faith happy with the outcome. Somehow I did. I may have one more, assuming I outlive my brother.
As for me, my wife and daughters know I want to be cremated, my ashes can be placed in the local National Cemetery if they so choose. Certainly no church service, unless they want to track down a Buddhist who can say something briefly. The one thing I have insisted upon is that everyone be told to think of at least one time they've laughed with me or because of me, and keep that laughter in their hearts and minds. I'm also good with an open bar. Guinness, Jameson's and a good single malt scotch (I'm partial to Glenfiddich) being front and center. A band wouldn't be a bad thing either. Or a DJ to play lots of my favorites, from classic rock to 80's new wave. I'm guessing most of the people will be too old to dance much, but hey, I hope they give it a try!

So, are you trying to take over Subdeacon Joe's position as the Purveyor of Useless Knowledge?
Maybe the two of you and Alpo should resurrect The Keeper Of Odd Knowledge Society. (K.O.O.K.S.)
That sounds like something I would want to join!

I've seen numerous variations. Around here, "do you swear or affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" has some popularity. No bible, right hand in the air.

As a wise friend of mine once said, "I don't care how hot she is, somewhere, someone is sick of her... stuff." (No, he didn't say "stuff.")

As a former Army medic, I will neither confirm nor deny the above. However, for those without access to IVs, Gatorade or other fluid and electrolyte replacement drinks are a tremendous help.
