Tastes like chicken, babe!

`Morning, all …

Spring has finally “sprung” here in O-Hi-O …

Spring ‘colds’ … SUCK!

I’d like to find and shoot the guy that sat in the seat infront of me on the plane … and hacked and sneezed the whole flight while aiming his overhead air vent back at me.

Thanks for sharing, you left-wing, bird flu plagued dolt …

Had a one-on-one- with a Clp. last night. (NO, DrillAnwr, it’s not what you are thinking. Clean up your dirty mind, will ya )

Brought him back to base after midnight.

It took me 6 hours to get him fixed again and back on track. Needed a lot of digging before I got to the real source of his problems. The fucking medical back-up at base closes at 16.00. Buddys to buzzy with their own problems and then I’m the last resource.

I’m exhausted but happy. At least one (more) soul saved.
(But do ask myself these days: Who will save mine .)

You do good work, angel! Those guys must be extremely grateful to have you by their side.

And leave my dirty mind alone … Took years to perfect it

Kurt’s mouth is watering for B-B-Qed rattler kabobs …

Kurt, do ya do those with mushrooms, or strictly green peppers and onion?

I would bet you’re one of those guys that continually “marinates” whatever you are grilling with splashes from your beer bottle …

I had gator steak once while down south … ummm, not so much. Not unless I was in the starvation throngs near the end game of Survivor.

everything is better with . even rattlesnake i would assume

but whenever a story begins with rattlesnake its usually something crazy.

kinda like remember the night we were at the bar with that hooker, the homeless guy and a parrot… those stories usually end somewhere in Tijuana

Make sure your booster shots are up to date, eh?

Was at a friends for a lamb roast awhile back … Her brother was in charge of tending the open pit. Took hours of him watching that critter slowly rotate over the hot cherry and hickory wood coals … hours and a case of beer. He’d take a long gulp, and then pour some slowly over the lamb while chanting “One for my homie …”

Tasted grrrreat!

Thanks for the reminder on how important beer is to handle things with the requisite strength, grace and clarity.

The beautiful simplicity of the warrior.

6:58 A.M.

It’s enough to keep you up in a cold sweat at night …

And let’s NOT even imagine this country or the world today, post 9-11-01, if Gore had been successful in stealing the 2000 election …

I tend to sort of believe that the 9-11 attack WAS meant for a Gore presidency … that the terrorists thought/believed Gore would follow Clinton into office, and carry-on the legacy of lame or no responses to attacks …

Dennis Miller said something a bit striking and possibly poignant on Bill O`Reilly last night (or was it Jon Voight on Glenn Beck?) … The cold meds and caffeine are duking it out right now in my mind.

Anyhow, the comment was made that the Almighty watches out for us (this country) in times of danger and war and ‘makes sure’ the right person gets into office to deal with those times properly.

Could be … Could be.

7:19 A.M.

When I was in high school, during homecoming week, the football team would dress in wigs, make-up and the cheerleaders’ uniforms (with oranges/grapefruits) and go about the school day … The cheerleaders would wear the football uniforms and padding with the black grease smears under their eyes … Was the highlight of the school year.

And don’t get me started on Sadi Hawkins Day …

I take less offense to men dressing in woman’s wear as campy entertainment at a private event than I do the sexually confused school teacher who one day is Mr. Campbell in a suit and tie in front of the class, and then Ms. Campbell the next day in a bargin bin polyester dress.

Booster shots are good to go

lamb roast, yummy! we go to a pig roast every year and i cant wait for that. the dude who puts that on does it big time. this warm weather has allowed me to get the grill out of the garage finally too.

Al Gore makes me sick and to be honest his followers do too.
The evidence to suggest global warming was wrong is out there now, why do people still believe in it? and whatever happened to natural earth cycles. anyone remember the hole in the ozone laye that had people freaked out then later was found to be a natural way for the earth to clean itself, well the hole later closed on its own.

what was it, about 15 or 20 years ago that scientists were predicting or at least preparing for another ice age. wrong again

When this is all said and done Al Gore should be sent to prison for leading a worldwide scam that has done nothing more than left people worse off than before.

Oh, he’s purrrr-ty!

You know WHY these bastards fight deportation to Arab countries?

Because the Western countries holding them (see: Gitmo, ACLU and leftist human rights pigeons) ARE NOT torturing them … and the Arab countries (see: rendition, and also silently sick of the indigenous terrorist shit mucking up their country’s image) WOULD!

I agree with you completely. The Democrats don’t want the truth, they want their “version” of it. They are willing to throw away all the progress that we have made in Iraq so far, further risking our national security at the same time.

Okay, so to begin the rattlesnake story. Three of my buddies headed out to the desert to shoot the new $8K fully auto, short barrel M4 that one of them had. One former member of the 82nd Airborne who served and saw much real shit in Kosovo and Afghanistan, one Marine now working for a private Security company, and one used car salesman. This is not a set-up to a joke, this is a true story from yesterday.

I was already pretty sure of that. Was just checking if you were awake.

Keep cultivating it, it pays of (I swear, got lots of experience :!:)

I’m only a part-time-angel. Need time left to practice on that she-devil-part.

Maybe that’s the reason why some of these (my) guys get a little pale around the nose when I come into a room/get in the picture.

I think I…uhm….build quit a reputation of the past six years.

I was more a fan of:

John (before he went all Mellencamp) Cugar … than … Bruce Springsteen

Pink Floyd … than … Led Zeppelin

Robert Plant … than … Led Zeppelin

Joe Walsh and James Gang … than … Rolling Stones

Heart … than … Queen

Yes … than … Steve Miller Band

Marvin Gaye … than … Elvis

Aerosmith … than … Jethro Tull

The Eagles … than … The Who

C.C.R. … than … Black Sabbath

Bad Finger … than … Beatles

And after a NON-STOP weekend (I SHIT YOU NOT!) of listening to “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” and smoking half a field worth of “what-not” with my cousins in Pittsburgh I am NOT ashamed to admit I thoroughly gouged the stereo’s damn stylus back and forth DEEPLY into that fucking Iron Butterfly album … Too bad it wasn’t mine.

Oh, and disco …

You know, like, “Hey, I really like eating cold turds in the hot sun … NOT!”

Everyone was into Zeppelin in high school … the whole “Stairway To Heaven” … If`n I NEVER hear that song again it’ll be too soon … It came close to the fate of “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” with me … And why the hell did guys in the 70s think “Stairway …” was THE make-out song??!!??

Floyd’s “Breathe” was soooo much better … with ME, atleast.

Now I am going to have to spin some on the commute tomorrow.

In high school i got home from a party and wasnt done drinking so i sat in my bedroom and turned on stairway to heaven and was destined to learn it on guitar, sat there drinking and playing until about 8 the next morning, fingers were almost bleeding, didnt learn the song that night and finally passed out. kind of lost its luster a little bit with me since then but still a Zeppelin fan.

Rattlesnake story?

I believe Seinfeld had an episode (I could be wrong … was a TV sitcom, though) where a music shop had hung a warning sign over it’s guitar display “NO Stairway To Heaven” …

LBA

I know! Pat just sort of fell asleep in mid-tale on that one …

Yo! Dollard! WAKE UP!!!

But we live in a great country, so I am pleased to present here a live, unscripted rattlesnake video that will no doubt put anything Pat was thinking of to shame–enjoy!!

A bit of useless “trivia” mentioned on last night’s Glenn Beck interview on TV with Jon Voight.

Voight’s brother (James Wesley Voight) wrote the song “Wild Thing”, under the name Chip Taylor.

The Raspberries - “Go All The Way”

Oh! How that song was [trouble] with me.

Kurt

Learn yunz self that one on the guitar

http://youtube.com/watch?v=r5hlxbOazGs

thats a cool song. heard it before but it was a long time ago. sounds like it will be alot easier to learn than stairway to heaven. that one took me a while but i finally got it.

Oh and P.S

Looks like im in for an interesting night here in the corner of the great state. lots of lightning so far

Yep. Just checking the radar … There she blows … Coming down from Erie my way too … Could be neck and neck for that and your crap to reach us. Should be here by morning.

Hey could be worse. Could be the U.P. Mich. They’re getting ice and snow … They can have it.

Amen to that. its still 60 something out there right now as i speak. i will keep the warm weather, just wake me up when its over dorothy

I like her vocals and yes your right - that one is up there on my list

- BUT this one will always hold a special place

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hMagNuhLkk

Water was running; children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the lares shrine?
But oh your city lies in dust, my friend

We found you hiding we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands

But oh your city lies in dust, my friend

Hot and burning in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes …….

And your city lies in dust
Cities In Dust

You’re dragging out me 1980s

Also left a bit of an after action report. Who knows, maybe one of these days I’ll start a blog myself.

How was your night?

Ticticboom:

Get well soon.

In general:
After Pat’s “I’M THE MANNNN”, (I know, I know, TBinSTL. I live on the wrong side of that big ocean Mea Culpa), still no new episode on that rattle-snake story.

Does any one knows how much Gryphon Air is charging for a two-way ticket Kuwait-Bagdad these days? (As in, any recent experience? And, I’m being dead-serious about asking this.)

Sorry we weren’t down there the same weekend. I was there the last weekend of March.

However, caught the same (D.C.) bug you must have.

I see that bed of tulips bloomed!

Would that be YOU with the Jihadi Killer Crusader T-shirt in the last pic?

Jeez! How friggin’ COOL is that?

Thanks for the report.

LBA -

Talking Heads didn’t talk to me.

Peter Gabriel was a good listen.

MADNESS!!!! YES!!! Da boyz! I was about to toss you “Our House” but the cold meds kicked in and I crawled in bed.

And then you “grew up” (HEH!) and went for the metal … good work!

I did major growing up in the 1990s (Clinton years) on many levels … (heh!) and picked up on more of this stuff … Which Kurt can REALLY appreciate …

Well, while waiting for our fearless leader to return with the final chapter(s) of the rattlesnake bedtime story a couple of us dabbled in the music world and our favorites therein.

We might need to send out a patrol to locate Dollard’s ‘where-abouts’ …

I read all about your musical favorites and those of others. I was just afraid Kurt got hit by lightning and you got blown away. ( Dorothy. “To blow or to get blown away”. )

About Dollard’s where-abouts;
Somewehere between here and there. I snif, I snif……somewhere between spring-break and spring-cleaning

Not sure about Kurt’s weather situation since last night … The system reached my neck of the woods very early this morning before I got up … A little thunder … mostly rain.
