To all lurking bush voters:

[Bouncy Ball]

If you are between the ages of 18 and 35, and have not already served in the military, what are you waiting for?

You voted for bush. Your vote for him said his pre-emptive war on Iraq was okey-dokey with you. You guys LOVE it, you wave flags and put magnetic ribbons on your cars and think it's great.

So why don't you just amble on down to your local recruiting station (try the Army or Marines--they are the ones most in need of warm bodies--er, I mean recruits) and put your money where your mouth is and get yourself some combat boots and a rucksack.

Besides, y'all are always into posing for pictures with your guns. Why not let Uncle Sugar issue you one?

All four branches are hurting for recruits. If you voted for the man, you voted for his war. If you voted for his war, you better go fight it.

Female bush voters: no exceptions for you. All four branches need recruits, male or female.

I would like to direct you to the following websites:

Army: http://www.army.mil/

Air Force: http://www.af.mil/

Navy: http://www.navy.mil/

Marines: http://www.usmc.mil/

Remember, the Army and Marines are most in need of recruits. If you go Army, be sure to try to be in the infantry. Good stuff, there.

Go fight bush's war!

174. Dateline Iraq

DATELINE IRAQ

The Man landed on the Lincoln
A million miles from any shore
But they’d turned the ship around
What did they do that for
When it was only thirty miles from port?
Well, it made one terrific photo-op!
chorus
“We don’t feel like heroes any more*
We can’t help but think of Black Hawk Down
The President he says to “bring ‘em on”
But this is deadly violent Baghdad town
It’s no Crawford Texas and it’s not Washington”
And they don’t feel like heroes anymore.

Sgt. Dewitt dazed disbelieving**
Sat on his bed and stared
At the end of his arms
Where his hands had disappeared
And in the meantime and between time
Back at the ranch when not out collecting loot
Dubya was trying on his exercising suit.

To talk the talk don’t make the walk
You can strut and chortle a bully song
Secure at home safely say, “bring ‘em on”
But if you don’t walk the walk
Then that stuff is just a crock
And what are they being killed and wounded for
Bush and Cheney’s Halliburton war?

“We’re outnumbered and exhausted**
We’re being killed and wounded every day”
Rummy says no to adding troops
Wish that cabal was in this stinking fray
Told they’d be shining knights
Loved and honored by the people of Iraq
All you arm chair generals and Rumsfeld
Would you care to take that statement back?

“We don’t feel like heroes anymore
We can’t help but think of Black Hawk down”
The President says “bring ‘em on”
But this is deadly Baghdad town
It’s no Crawford, Texas, it’s not Washington
And they don’t feel like heroes anymore
*Pfc. Isaac Kindblade - Baghdad, Iraq

178. Yeah, as we settle down in our easy chair!

AND NOW FOR THE EVENING NEWS

Hup, two, three four

Hup, two three four

What in hell are we waiting for

Left, right… left…left…left

I had a good home and I left

Chorus

Yes, “Johnny got his gun”

Has the enemy on the run

Flags wave, cheers fill the air

(as we settle down in our easy chair)


While in that hell in the desert heat

One hundred and ten Fahrenheit

“Sarge, on the roof, two behind the wall

(keep that sphincter muscle tight)

Report from Corporal Richardson

Guys up all fuckin’ night long

Seein’ the pictures in their head

Bloated bodies of the dead.

Ah jeez! That little kid

She musta been hiding behind the door

When I threw the grenade into the room

Goddamn this stupid fuckin’ war.


Yes, Johnny got his gun

Has the enemy on the run

Flags wave, cheers fill the air

3. If "you don't like it you can leave" applies...

then doesn't "If you like it you can fight" also apply?

If a chickenhawk is your role model, then a chickenhawk you will be.

[Bouncy Ball]

5. Well said.

:thumbsup:

The sad thing is, most of the people I addressed that to will NOT get up off their asses and join the military. It's ok for them to vote for it, it's ok for other people to fight it, but they can't be bothered.

[politicaholic]

28. They can't be bothered to even think for themselves...

It's all about filtering of information and acceptance. The republicans feel that if they can pound more information into the population's brain than the Democrats then they will win. There's not a whole lot of evidence to disput that actually.

And acceptance is based on the fact that the voter's peer group will chastize them for thinking outside of the consensus of the group (usually dictated by one person). Fear of alienation can allow a person to convince themselves of anything.

So expecting people to think any further than what is right in front of them is expecting too much. The United States public education system is not set up to allow critical thinking. That's why funding is based on test scores. If there is an answer in front of you then that MUST be the right answer.

That's the problem. In a recent WaPo poll, 70% of people have lost faith in the Iraq war, but yet they voted for Bush. Why? Because Bush was in front of them more on their television and in their community. Their fear of being alienated out weighed their desire for the truth.

Why would they go and fight a war that seems to be constantly ending?

Why would they go fight a war when the threat is all around them right here at home?

Why would they go to Iraq when the real enemies are American Liberals?

Joining the army leaves one less person to support the troops. Don't you see? lol

[tnlefty]

4. Aren't you generous. I was thinking just the other day that the cut

off age should be MUCH higher.

[Bouncy Ball]

7. I was guessing.

Mr. Bouncy said it used to be 35 or 36. It may be higher now, don't know.

[tnlefty]

9. The age that I had in mind is hypothetical not the actual age and it

it was much higher than 35. I was thinking armchair warriors up to like 80 or so. I know that it seems harsh, but I know quite a few older folks who thought all of this is great just as long as their grandkids won't be there. The children and grandchildren of others seemed fine as long as they were just sitting in their armchairs soaking up Faux News. If ya know what I mean.

[Bouncy Ball]

11. Well they can always do data processing or some

being in the rear with the gear, I suppose!

[xmas74]

180. A friend of mine is in her early 50's, retired Army

and she recently received a call in reference to re-enlisting,stating that she can still do office work.

[yorkiemommie1]

167. i know a lot of armchair warriors

none enlisting. if think if you voted for that ass, no matter what your age or condition, you should volunteer even if it means going 'hut- hut - hut' up and down your block w/ a plastic rifle on your shoulder.

[lachattefolle]

160. Yep, the military is recalling folks in their 50's and 60's. And you

can join the military at 17 with parental permission, which any proud FReeper parent should be overjoyed to grant. I don't understand why the ground troops are stretched thin when the recruiters' offices should be overflowing. <sarcasm now off>

[Turn CO Blue]

6. KICK nt

[Robeson]

8. I agree, and I never miss an opportunity to tell Republicans....

...exactly that. In fact, if they ever start a draft again, Republicans should be the ones drafted. They wanted the war. They support it. They should fight it. It was a war that was not forced on the U.S. It was a war of aggression, and a war of choice. I choose not to support it. I choose not to fight. Those who do, should be the ones to take it face on.

[tnlefty]

13. Well if all of those young republicans who supported Bush**

would sign up it would boost the enlistment numbers up and might keep any thought of a draft at bay for a while, n'est pas?

[Robeson]

18. I hear ya'. Spoken like a true Tennessee Volunteer.....now, ....

...lets just see if those repugs have the courage to Volunteer. My guess is...no.

[FreedomAngel82]

57. Yep

Even the volunteer state republicans won't go. Heh heh. But oh they can surely pound their chest and go "war good! Liberals bad!"

[K8-EEE]

138. The Bush GIrls Don't Seem To Be Gainfully Employed....

SHIP EM OUT!!! You know what they say, the discipline will do those two good. It should be an absolute privilege to serve in Daddy's Hellhole. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?

[yeababy]

10. participation in military operations should be shared among races..

A higher percentage of African Americans are serving in the armed forces over whites. I think that should be changed to represent true racial demographics.

[Bouncy Ball]

12. Have you read the latest on that?

Recruitment of African-Americans is at an all-time low. News story on that came out a couple of weeks ago, was posted here in LBN. I say "GOOD!"

Now let's get this economy straightened up so people can have some JOBS. Long may I wish.

But I guess you don't have that same respect.

45. My cousin applied for air force in 1996. Took a test and the recruiter...

told him he didn't pass. Then he wouldn't let my cousin see the test results. Told him he should apply with the army. Yea right. Let me guess....Infantry.

I've been checking out your other posts since you registered.

130. Yes it is but even so it is higher than the actual percent of blacks in US

It has come down from 24% to 15% but blacks make up about 12.5% of Americans. Til Bush* came along they were more than double those numbers. Bush* has accomplished a few things....:shrug:

17. Don't you think, Bike Writer, that

the front line grunts, say maybe in an armored division or an infantry division in the Army, could use oh, a few thousand bush voters?

Then they could know what it's like to come back and be totally unacknowledged by the bush administration and most of the media!

[BikeWriter]

32. Yes'm, seeing as how I've recently applied for the VA benefits...

and took the time to go vote. :shrug: Since I'm in a white suburb area mostly it only took me a few minute's to go in and cast my vote. I went right after class was over. Even if I lived in a liberal area and knew Kerry would've gotten a good mount of votes I still would've went because you never know. One vote could've made a difference. That's why I always go vote.

[Bouncy Ball]

70. He couldn't be bothered, apparently.

But he does support bush (and secretly thinks he sucks, apparently!).

[bettyellen]

74. and i bet you can explain to people why you voted as you did......

unlike some who were gonna vote, and now they are gonna enlist.......

good on you!! we all make a diffrence when we show up. if we don't we don't.

41. Not at all. I commend you. You are going over there so that....

...others who do not believe in unprovoked wars of aggression, want have to live the rest of their lives knowing that they may have the bloodstains of innocent people on their hands. You are saving someone from getting killed themselves, who doesn't believe in breaking in the homes and lands of others, without provocation. You may be relieving an enlisted soldier, who was due to leave, but was forced to remain in the armed forces by this President, longer than they signed up to, or were told.

Just watch you top-notch, because remember, its their land, and they don't want you there....

[bettyellen]

47. don't ya know son that most soldiers cram for exams, do their rounds of

20. I heard it right from a Bush voter

The military has more volunteers than they can handle! Why, they're turning people away!

And furthermore, a draft would seriously compromise the country's security!

They wouldn't lie, would they? :eyes:

[Bouncy Ball]

22. Ha! Yes, they would and they did.

Yeah, they're really turning people away. I've seen the recruiting stations around here---the recruiters mostly hang around out front smoking cigarettes and looking bored.

I put these numbers on business card, and whenever I travel on Metro Trains, Planes, Buses, Amtrak...and those smart-aleck YOUNG reTHUGlicans are spewing their bush* adoration, and pro-war crap....I hand them the card...and TALK REAL LOUD so everyone can hear: STAND UP like a man and help OUR country...we have TWO WARS going on and IT's YOUR Patriotic Duty to join...blah blah....usually, a couple other Veterans will join in....


try to get their name/phone number so you can turn it over to a recruiter, who will NEVER leave them alone (nice sign, can I have your phone number? I know a guy who can help you get a GREAT career)....I did that to TWO idiots and the recruiters are still buzzing around their homes, and following them everywhere....I told the recruiters what GREAT military these young men would be....with a 'little' encouragement...

Why did you vote for bush if you don't support his social agenda, and don't support the religious right that CONTROL him?

There ARE third parties on the ticket, you know.

If you voted for bush in November, you are part of the reason we are in the mess we are in now. I have the feeling you also voted for him in 2000. Which means you are part of the mess we dealt with from 2000 to 2004.

The people on this website have been FIGHTING that man and his messees (that affect us all) all this time. So you just wanted to what? Come here and play pattycake?

You don't like a lot of what Mr.bush does and stands for. You couldn't vote for Kerry just to vote against Mr.bush, so you voted FOR bush rather than someone else? You picked Mr.bush as the best one to vote for rather than voting 3rd party or not voting at all? Once more, you thought it was best to give Mr.bush your vote rather than not voting at all or voting for someone just to vote against him?

107. Like "Rock and Roll" The Army Never Forgets!

Come back to the Active Duty Army Nurse Corps - they will welcome you with open arms and added benefits after your service. The military is always in need of quality medical personal. That would IMO be an honorable duty (yes, I'm sincere) duty for someone who believes that The Bush Administration is leading this country down the right path.

[ElectroPrincess]

96. All you Bush Administration loving young women ...

Best advice if you wish to be close to true COMBAT: Sign up for the Military Police within the Army. If you don't land up in a prison environment, the chances are decent that you too can patrol Baghdad's streets just like the poor bloody Infantry.

Think twice about joining the USMC if you want to be a part of "the action" ... for they keep women segregated especially during basic training and THEIR motto for women is (ready for this?) = "Free a man to fight." :wtf:

Nope those of you who honor Ann Coulter and Phillis Shaffly, by all means "give it your all" because heaven forbid you act true to your feminine gender, i.e., a sissy or girlie. Plus we promise that we won't blackmail you in the future by threatening to tell your son's friends, "Yo! Your Momma wore combat boots." <fingers are crossed ... shhh!>

Yes women Bush supporting patriots! Those damn democratic elitist commie liberals don't realize that we're winning the war in Iraq ... those of you who support GW Bush need to be part of the action. Make your fellow republican's proud and sign up for duty in Iraq TODAY.

I'd join you, but you see, I've already served my country in the US Army and now I'm just another damn baby boomer waiting to use up YOUR social security. Besides I voted for Kerry and do NOT support the Iraqi invasion or continued occupation.

But YOU do support the blessed Bush Administration. Therefore, God's selected Dear Leader wants you to perform your patriotic duty by ENLISTING NOW! :hi:

102. If you are above the age of 35

I'm sure if you really want to help * in his war on terror someone can find something for you to do. You don't have to leave it all to the young'uns.


Very well said Bouncy.

[Catherine Vincent]

103. Left on, sister!

And btw, I have never seen so many deleted posts in one thread. Must have been a bushie among us!

[Digit]

113. Yep, you got a rise out of a bunch of people!

WTG!

[ObaMania]

112. WOW! Look at all the deleted messages!!!

Is this a record for any one thread?

Please Mods.. post these for all to read.

[walldude]

168. Yeah the board needs a section where

those of us who miss the deleted posts can read them, I hate seeing half the discussion... hehe

[Laurab]

114. You mean some Bush voters aren't signed up?

Wow, gosh, I can't believe that. I mean, if I was a Bush voter that would have been the first thing I'd have done. I mean, it's the RIGHT thing to do. How the heck are we gonna win any of his wars if his own supporters don't even want to fight them?

Anyone who voted for Bush needs to show their support, now more than ever. He NEEDS you. And since he has so many loyal supporters, why is the military having so much trouble meeting its recruting goals? That is NO way to support your president. If you voted for the man, get out there and support him in a meaningful way. How could you vote for a man, and then expect other people to go fight the wars YOU voted for? That makes no sense.

Support YOUR president - it's the right thing to do. It's your patriotic DUTY even. He's not my president, I don't support him or his wars, and I don't intend to, but anyone who voted for him should be on the front lines.

[lachattefolle]

162. Oh, they support him alright, with their stupid ribbons on their vehicles!

Dimson isn't the only one who is all hat and no cattle.

[Spiffarino]

115. Made it an even 20

Rock on, Bouncy.

Get your asses over to the recruiting stations, Bushlovers. Or are we right and you really are a bunch of little chickenshits who want others to do the fighting for them?

My guess is, we're right.

On edit: Here's your billboard

[Bouncy Ball]

116. Heh, great billboard.

Thanks!

:hi:

[Gelliebeans]

117. Hey BB

thanks for great post and for cleaning house around here. I thought I smelled something stinky. :hi:

[Bouncy Ball]

118. Aw, thank the mods for that!

Whatever mod was busy tonight is an unsung hero!

Thanks mods!!!

And thanks for your nice post Gelliebeans.

:hi:

[Gelliebeans]

119. THANKS MODS

[dxstone]

123. Great post, BB!

Myself, I have no patience left for these assholes...
Nowadays ya can't even work unless you figure some way of shutting down all judgement and emotion, cuz you go out there and you're surrounded by these creeping idiots, who know NOTHING of reality... you have to work side by side with these disgusting soulless maggots... they're the majority now...
It's like living in Dawn of the Dead, that's what I think.
What does the Butch Admin have to do to get these fucking assholes to notice that it is PURE EVIL with candy sprinkles on top?

[RubyCat]

128. I think fightingfalcon was a high school student. The "Fighting Falcons"

is probably the name of the high school's football team. He didn't vote because he's underage. The business about how he didn't vote because he had to cram for a test on election day was just bs.

It's the tragic case of another misled youth. If he wants to join the military, then let him go. He'll have to learn the hard way.

Another young republican -- it reminds me of a Simpsons Halloween special where Homer Simpson and his family ring the door of Mr. Burn's mansion. Mr. Burn's forgets to let go of the intercom button and says "Ahh, fresh victims for my evergrowing army of the undead."

[Bouncy Ball]

133. I suspected that about fightinfalcon.

When I read those words, I thought "ah, too young to vote."

Glad to know someone else had the same reaction!

:toast:

[PittLib]

169. Or college ...

Bowling Green State - my alma mater. Perhaps he was too stoned to multi-task studying and voting.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

158. Yo! Check your inbox! (nt)

[BrklynLiberal]

120. Wow BB. What a great post! It was like turning on the lights in a kitchen

full of cockroaches...just caught them all in mid-step! An awful lot of deleted messages there. :P

[hfojvt]

121. why exclude those who have already served?

They can always re-enlist. Who would be better than an experienced, already trained soldier. Also, I do not know about the age restrictions. I have a former co-worker who is either in his 50s or late 40s, about two years away from retiring from the National Guard and he recently got called up to Iraq. So Bush voters in their 40s might be able to re-enlist if they have already served.

[Bouncy Ball]

134. The ones who have already served always use that as an excuse

and there are tons who have never spent a day in basic training, so I thought I'd just speak to them.

But you are right--they can certainly re-enlist. Uncle Sugah would be more than happy to have most of them back!

[ebayfool]

122. LOL - all these 'deleteds'! Bouncy, I have a mental picture of you ...

turning the light in the middle of the night, running around the room in those pointy toe cowboy boots, stomping in the tightest corners - ridding DU of all the cockroaches that have tried to blend in till you ABSOLUTELY BLEW THEIR FUSES w/this post! Looks like you brought something out of the woodwork! Uncle Sugar? I've said what you said to people before, but never in such a way! Good for you!

Send the extermination bill to Delay instead of Skinner!

[RubyCat]

129. LOL! Great idea. Someone should post these kinds of messages

every now and then for the purpose of luring out the freepers so that they can be quashed!

[Bouncy Ball]

156. Ah, you caught me!

;-)

[Bouncy Ball]

135. Mr. Bouncy and his Army buddies always called Uncle Sam

Uncle Sugar, pronounced "Unka Sugah" so I can't take credit for that, LOL.

Thanks. They never can resist threads like this. That wasn't really my purpose for posting it (FAR more bush voters read it than responded, I promise you), but it is nice to catch a couple.

Your last line had me LOL.

[diamond14]

171. LOL.....good work.....exterminate the little roaches...

.

[mhr]

124. Kudos BB And Mods For Helping With The Infestation Problem

I suspect that many Bush supporters are afraid to post because this is one place where they cannot defend their rhetoric or flawed logic.

Their situation is a bitter pill.

When your walking, talking GOD has betrayed you what is there left to believe in?

[Lorien]

144. Obviously BB touched a nerve

the thumbsucking bed wetting Bushbots know damn well that they are far too cowardly to fight for what they give lip service to. When I've confronted them with recruitment forms at protests, the white male Freeps living on daddy's dime say "oh, well I pay my taxes" as their defense (no, daddy pays your taxes and you and he then bitch ENDLESSLY about taxes while pretending to "love" your country). BUSHCO "SUPPORTERS"; GET THEE TO A RECRUITMENT OFFICE TODAY!!!!

[VOX]

125. Bravo.

Excellent post, BB. Well-said and presented.

:thumbsup:

[Kingofalldems]

131. Bush's daughters should sign up

I'm shocked they haven't already. Could it be that they are just too good to associate with the hoi polloi? What say you repubs?

[Bouncy Ball]

136. Boy if the bush twins enlisted

THAT would be news. Actually they would probably go in as officers. And truth be told, they really wouldn't see any hard duty, BUT it would definitely be a change from their lives as they are now, and it would DEFINITELY cause people to sit up and pay attention! Can you imagine????

But imagine all you want, never gonna happen.

[CitySky]

145. can officers wear jimmy choo's?

the twins ain't signing up til the uniforms are done by better designers, fer sher...

[Ironpost]

132. I lika' you mo' beta' all time.

Yes the bush voters should be the first to be drafted.

[atldem]

137. It bothers me a little bit

because everyone here is always bitching about how FR never wants to actually debate and bans any differing opinion. We do it too. I know that it always results in a flame war, but it seems so facist to me to just delete anything that we don't agree with. I know that rules are rules and the owners of the website can do anything they want, just my 2 cents.

[nolabels]

140. Were are all them withering violets anyway?

They seem to be about "all talk and no action" if you ask me.

Yea, us veterans want to how your sons, daughters, nieces and nephews are serving the country :shrug:

[redqueen]

148. The rules are the rules... there are other websites you can visit

that won't bother you so much, you know.

[CottonBear]

150. The rules are the rules and that's that.

Anyway, they've got their own freakin' website.

[Bouncy Ball]

154. And you're free to go to a mixed message board where you CAN

debate people of different political views.

A lot of us do that all the time. DU is the place where we can talk to EACH other without the distraction of freepers in here.

They do it, we do it. But I know for a fact they lurk here and read our stuff, which is why I addressed it to them.

[Bridget Burke]

155. We don't bitch about FR's lack of debate, but its idiocy.

Also racism, fascism (note correct spelling!) & downright cruelty.

Thanks for your 2 cents!

[wtmusic]

157. Ah yes, way back when

at around 200 posts I felt the same way...

the problem is not with a difference of opinion. The problem is with the fact that these people are ignorant. If we opened the board up you would spend half your time educating people on very basic issues. That gets old very fast.

[Mrs_Beastman]

141. Amen, Bouncy Ball!

:yourock:

[ScreamingMeemie]

142. Funny thing. The parking lot Dad at my son's school (the one who

ensures that traffic is running safely etc.) came up to me the other day and was going on about his worries on the war and the veterans not getting the benefits they need...and then ended with, "They're not taking my kids." Why? He supported this insane administration in the first place. He should help them see their duties through. It's this kind of, it's okay if it's not me or mine mentality that really chaps me.

[Lorien]

146. Kick

:kick:

[redqueen]

149. You supported this insane idiot? YOU GO FIGHT IN HIS WARS OF AGGRESSION!

EXCELLENT POST, BB!

:loveya:

Unfortunately, if these idiots can convince themselves that every utterance from their fearless leader is true, they can also convince themselves that whatever pretzel logic excuse they can cook up for being COWARDLY CHICKENSHIT HYPOCRITES is actually some form of common sense.

Must be nice being that insane... never have to take responsibility for your own actions. :eyes:

[wtmusic]

151. Watching chickenhawks on the defensive...

is kinda like watching someone bail water on the Titanic.

It's fascinating, in a perverse kind of way.

[gordianot]

152. The little Nixon Republicans I knew in the 60's and 70's were all cowards.

Every single one followed the Cheney path to public service long before any of us knew about a DICK Cheney. Their children are also cowards. They supported the war in Vietnam and railed against protesters. Today they love Bush.

For some reason (character defect)I wanted a military career but was willing to fore-go what I knew was an immoral war. As things worked out I never had to serve, and my Democratic friends all went to Vietnam. On return these real "Democrat" friends promised to break my legs if I continued on my path. I listened to John Kerry when he returned and spoke in congressional hearings. I also listened to my ROTC instructors who while being pro Army were strongly opposed to the war in Vietnam.

I have kept up with some of these Republican self styled neocon loving "Morans" over the years and intend to really piss them off at the next class reunion, especially now that we have adult children.

[Mr_Spock]

164. And when they do fight, they need to fight with a gun

I think it's cowardly to hide behind weapons or cheap talk. I think these jokers are actually less brave than the "thinkers" that they attack here at home. In fact, I think it is an overcompensation for their feelings of insecurity that leads them down the chickenhawk path. Just one man's humble opinion - I could be wrong (but I don't think so)...

[Mrs_Beastman]

153. Kick!

159. Don't be the last Chickenhawk on your block to sign up.

they are hypocrites and cowards and stupid, to boot.

[Misunderestimator]

170. Great post, BB.

[0007]

173. I like the way you crack nuts BB

[AuntiBush]

175. Absolutely! Excellent Post!

Couldn't agree with you more! Well stated, as well! And "excellent" retort when banging into those over-zealous Bush / War supporters!

[Old and In the Way]

176. The biggest cheerleaders for war, never serve.

It's the nature of these people. Look at all the war mongering, war-profiteering Republicans. A flock of chickenhawks all. When it was their turn to serve, they had other priorities. And now they have the powe, they are clueless about the application.

I never served either. But then, I've never been a proponent for war.

Seems you've struck a raw nerve..... :-)

[Technowitch]

177. Bouncy -- you're wonderful!

Love it. Keep up the good work.

[Beware the Beast Man]

181. BB, I love you like a milkshake!
