Anyone checking out SIX on History Channel? It premieres tonight. I'm out of town but am recording it to watch when I get home.

The trailers don't much enthuse me. But I've quit watching TV lately, anyhow.

Old stick in the mud.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Back in my day, when we wanted to post a photo on the internet, we went out with our iPhones, and took the photo ourselves. Lazy young-uns... :old:

And we could only get one photo per phone, since Apple didn't provide for interchangeable plates.

Watched a bit of it but dozed off. Seamed good to start. I like the main character, I forget his real name he was Shane in The Shield.
Walton Goggins after a little google Fu.
I needed a mod to change my signature because the concept of "family friendly" eludes me.
Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

Is it true that it's a requirement of SEALs to sign a book deal and be negotiating a movie deal in order to graduate from BUD/S ??




(America's "Silent Professionals" do seem to scream "LOOK AT ME/US" quite a bit..)
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

And I had to watch TV by candle light as I did my homework using charcoal on the back of a shovel.

As for the TV show itself . . . they'd improve it by dropping the goofy parts of the "drama" away from the field.

Okay fistful, I took your advice. Sorry it took so long, but I had to take the picture, get the film developed, scan the photo, then put it in an envelope and mail it to flkr and wait for them to post it on their website.  =D

Back in my day, If you were a stick in the mud, we would put poop in a paper bag, light it on fire on your front porch, ring your bell and laugh at you from across the street for stomping a flaming bag of poop.

That is a board not a stick.  Looks like a 1x2.   :police:
