So he rehearsed it at night while he was milking the cow. He discovered that the only time he remembered everything was when he was milking. His mother tied a rope around his waist with two ends hanging down and he would work them like he was milking the cow and then he had no trouble remembering his speech. But he couldn't do that on stage. So once they decided that would work they ran the rope around till it was behind him, and he stood there with his hands behind his back milking the rope. And it worked. He remembered. So this is what he was going to do when he made his speech. So there he is out there on stage making his speech. What no one was aware of was that he was standing in front of a full length mirror. Everyone in the audience can see what he was doing. This was a farming community. Most of the kids in school could recognize what he was doing. Especially when he would jerk one off to the side to give one of the cats a little milk. He's about halfway through his speech and several kids in the audience start mooing at him. His best friend yells up, "soooo, Bossie!" 1 1 1 Quote

The scum that prays on military folks deserves a taste of what the military has to offer in the way of physical and small arms training. I saw many guys, me included, get scheistered by businesses just off base. In my case it was a gold pendant I bought my Mom on credit, not an automobile. 3 Quote
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted October 12 Posted October 12 I think it was Pendleton where I recall the “strip” just outside the base. Pawn shops, payday loan shops, used car lots and all manner of predatory businesses to take advantage of these young Marines. I was surprised they were permitted to locate so close to the base entrance. 2 Quote

When she tried to drink, that chunk of plastic that stuck at 6 inches past her face would catch on the end of the bowl and when she finished drinking and picked her head up she'd dump the water bowl. She would eat by taking food out of the dish and putting it on the floor and then eating it off the floor. She couldn't get down to the floor with that thing on. When she had to pee she would first smell the ground to make sure it was a good spot to pee on. Would that thing she couldn't get her nose down to the ground so she couldn't go to the bathroom. Somebody - I believe it was 40 - suggested this and it solved the problem. She could get her muzzle into her food. No problems with the water dish. Could get her nose down into the grass to smell if it would be a good toilet. And she could not reach her left armpit where her surgery had been. Those cone collars should go the way of the buggy whip and the button hook. Something better has replaced them. 4 1 Quote

Alpo Posted October 14 Posted October 14 Some people get all upset at the drivers that will not allow these people trying to jump the line in. I read just the other day that it is illegal in Florida to do that. When the sign says merge and you're supposed to go over into the left lane - or the right lane, regardless - then that effectively, and legally, makes the laying you're supposed to get out of the equivalent of the shoulder. And somebody that goes zooming down that lane to get to the front of the line - that is legally passing on the shoulder which is illegal as hell in Florida. 1 Quote
