I confess, I don't love anyone's Internet Handle.



I might like or love them if we met in real life and had a real relationship.

Subsequently, I don't hate nor love any of you.

As Alice had once said, "You're nothing but a pack of cards!"

...in other words imaginary or virtual digits on a server somewhere in cyberspace, likely located some place in the middle of nowhere like Texas or Nebraska. So in reality, we're probaly all residents of Texas.



...thank you Lone Star state for assigning us an identity to park ourselves for the time being.

The Flea Trap / Re: 2015-2016 Hockey Season
May 21, 2016, 12:58:24 PM
I saw a bit of the Tampa Pittsburgh game last night.

I was expecting to see some really fast wide open hockey

Instead, I was stunned to see how slow it seemed. They don't skate anymore, they hobble. It has the look and feel of NFL linebackers on skates.

Its not like the days of the old Montreal Canadians or Edmonton Oilers.

Todays NHL has become very sluggish. Too much trapping as well.



Ironically the ones who display the old pretty style of play now a la Gretzky are the International Womens Hockey. Wide open hockey, passing, great bursts of speed, nice skating, a grasp of the fundamentals. Womens hockey today is what NHL hockey was like 20-30 years ago. I suppose that era is long gone never to return. Oh well.

What I like about Trump is that he dares to say things those in the Establishment won't. And he's a threat to they and their jobs because he threatens to upend the existing order. Still, that's a breath of fresh air from the stifling social order a la political correctness which has taken over and placed a muzzle on everybody's lips. In some ways, Trump is very much like that old style 1970s liberal era where anything went, and people said what they wanted to without fear of retribution. And I agree with him somewhat that we have to put down or at least subdue this 9 headed hydra beast called political correctness.



However, what I don't like about Trump is how he trashes Mexicans when there are a large number who went to Vietnam in his place while he back then as a young liberal Democrat when he partied hardy. Many of those Hispanics/chicanos never came back. And some of those who went weren't even American citizens but were doing it to acquire citizenship. A lot of them didn't even get what they were promised and some were eventually deported. Donald trump has never acknowledged their sacrifice. He should.

You oughta cut back on that sorta thing.



My brother used to indulge himself heavily in sweets. Now he's got diabetes.



I've decided to TRY to cut down on sugar intake.

Not that I've been any good at cutting back or that disciplined myself, but having seen a family member get it, at least now I'm aware of its dangers. I still eat way too much of the stuff tho'. I try to limit myself to the equivalent of 1 small chocolate bar a day. But that is over the recommended limit.



Too much processed sugar is lethal.

Sorry if that offends you.



Every time I see or read about sweet sugary desserts I'm reminded of his condition.

WOW...the wife and I both are drooling over that...

Where are you dining at?


Long Horn Steak House.....a girlfriend and I met up for dinner after work. The dinner itself was.....okay. The dessert was phenomenal..... :thumbup:



2 scopes of vanilla bean ice cream and 2 pieces of the best chocolate fudge cake I've had in a long time. Definitely the highlight of the dinner.



The picture doesn't really do it justice because it was huge. We split it and there was still some left over that neither of us could finish.

Too young to die, methinks.


Olivia Who? ....oh ya mean....Ku?

Never heard of her.

Fame jes' ain't what it used ta be.

Here today, gone tomorrow. Oh well.

Anyways, the article says she died at Hoibihu:



http://www.weather-forecast.com/place_maps/ho/Houbihu-4.8.gif">



....that's close to Kaoshung in Taiwan, one of the most polluted cities on the planet. The article says she took her mask off. Maybe she swallowed the water and died from it (?). Either that, or she was bumped off by the underworld (?). Never know, there's always some mafia involvement in the entertainment industries. Yeah she died kinda young. Makes ya wonder.

I don't know why you people get so alarmed by Odinson.

He seems to give some of you the heebie jeebies.

I don't know what harm he causes.

If anything, he's become too boring and predictable.

He needs to change his act...as seoulbro pointed out so well.

Odinson is:......zzzzzzz

....the wilderness or the wild....is a dangerous place.



If you enter, do so at your own risk.



....it is a completely different world from 'civilization'.

Quote from: "Herman"Common sense stuff. I was going to buy property abroad, but I decided to farm in Saskatchewan instead. Snakes were not the reason I decided to stay home. Though I think JOE is a little wuss and scared of his own shadow.


Gotta confess, I don't like snakes, lizards, crocodiles, alligators or other reptiles much. They're hideous. Nothing I'd like to keep around the house.

I am not crazy about any of them either. But, I will not wimp out of going abroad because of them.


Heck Herman, I don't even venture out in the Canadian Wilderness anymore. I had an incident with a Wild animal while working up North which nearly cost me my life.  So now I have this eerie feeling that someone's looking over my shoulder, tapping on it, and saying to me, "You've used up your nine lives, Pal. This one's on me. But the next time, y'aint gonna be so lucky."  I've often felt I should've died that time & sometimes I wonder if I belong here. Hopefully I can stay alive for a while, enjoy life, the Natural Beauty of this earth in some place - safe, ifya know what I mean, eh?


Do you like "living" like that?

I don't mind Odinson. He tends to go over the top at times. Yet nothing he's done is illegal nor is he a genuine threat to anyone or their privcay. And at least we're in universal agreement that SMP should be removed and banned from the VF for good. Why evs keeps him there is beyond explanation (granpa's money or fear of retribution?). And she even comes to his defense as if he's her own son.



He's banned everywhere else & is a genuine threat wherever he posts because he stalks others, collects their pi and makes unauthorized use of it. He should have an electric surveillance collar by the police where his Internet activities are monitored & restricted.Plus he's driven off so many ex-members, including many who post here. If VF got rid of that character, it'd improve their forum at least 50% immediatly. The other 50% who drags that it down is Oscar, their forum drunk. Those two are toxic influences who keep many potential new members from joining/staying.

Quote from: "cc la femme"An EgyptAir flight from Paris to Cairo made two sharp turns before plunging into the Mediterranean Sea, Greece's defence minister says.



Panos Kammenos said the Airbus A320 had "turned 90 degrees left and then a 360-degree turn to the right".



It then dropped more than 25,000ft (7,620m) before disappearing from radar, he added.


....seems like a suicide the way the trajectory of the flight is described.



Unless someone forced the pilot to do that - or - they took over the controls themselves and did it (?).

Not sure why aircraft designers never thought of or could figure out how to make a plane more safe ages ago. Recently, a Russian engineer introduced a design where the fuselage detaches from the aircraft and parachutes enable the cabin to make a safe landing:

If they've done it for spacecraft, then why not planes?



It could save a lot of lives.

Quote from: "J0E"What I find odd, is that its seems a lot easier to approach and meet young girls half my age than it is to older women.

Quote from: "J0E"But I'm still attractive to the young girls.

You're a creep and everybody knows it. You make SMP look like a distinguished gentleman most days.

Oh c'mon Renn. You may find me irritating, but I'm never dirty.



All my songs and poems about you are GOOD, CLEAN FUN!



Not even a four letter word uttered in them.



Why, I was humming 2 songs from Joe's Hit Parade, 'Renn Your such a Hen!' & 'Why can't I make Renee Happy?' this morning.

I wouldn't go that far. SMP is a real world certified creep. To my knowledge JOE lacks that certification.



But Joe does have a creep flag that he let's fly a little too often.
