hopefully ESPN enjoyed the last couple of weeks with the Hype on Spygate...what a waste of time that turned out to be.

[SaintsFAN]

he sure didn't bring any hot co-eds into there...

that leaves room for the Russian Mob to prey upon lonely dudes up there (u listening recruits)??

Whatever happened to that self-righteous poster with the kid going to DC?  I think he called himself "decision08"....anyways, if you're reading this...I'm talking to YOU here...maybe you should order a Russian Bride if you can't get anything out of our little corner of the internet.

In the month of May the VFW distributes Buddy Poppies.  Please take time to give a dollar and take a poppy.  The proceeds of this go to aid the Disabled Vets

In Flander's Field
by John McCrae
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead.
Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved and now we lie,
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw,
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us, who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow,
In Flanders Fields.

Good story, I work with a Hindi kid who would do the same thing.  Not a bad bone in his body, these are the people that give you hope in the world.

Hey, hey, hey, all you miscreants, reprobates and preverts. Greetings from the Mosquito Coast. How the hell's it going, all?

What's the word on the HCAC this year? I've been out of pocket awhile. I finally got my oldest son married off yesterday and in August, Richard will be making a return to the Buckeye State to get hitched to his DC sweetie. They're living and working down here but decided to go back to Ohio and tie the knot so all their college buddies can come to the big event.

Maybe I'll get some damn grandkids soon that I can teach to swear, cuss and generally be a rude bastard like grandpa.

What's shakin' with you DC guys. I hear DC went out and found themselves a QB this year. Is it true?

A great word, that "miscreants"!  Hey, it has been awhile and glad to hear you are doing well.  Congratulations on the wedding of your son - very exciting.  Guess we're in the same boat; both of my daughter's got engaged last month, with the oldest getting married this July.  Very exciting, although it really makes me feel old.  Not sure I'm ready for either, but then again, don't have a choice, right?!!   Take care.

they probably got a kid or two thats played QB in High School to send in his deposit, but judging from their recent history...DC might be better off converting their best athlete to play QB.  They haven't had one since that #18.

congrats to you for your boys' marriages.  thats an accomplishment..so is making it work..as most of us (successful at it or not) know.

Congrats to you as well.  Thats going to cost YOU some money...having two get married.  Funny story....a former teammate of mine at TMC had his sister get married and their dad told her he's only paying once.  Well, she's getting remarried in June in Vegas, after divorce #1...who's the lucky guy?  Well its her ex-husband's best friend.  Well they used to be best friends.....  we had a nice long laugh at this one tonight.  Is dad paying again I asked....he said, "Kevin....the wedding is in Vegas"  ---answer is no.

SaintsFAN:

Thanks for the congrats - much appreciated.  Indeed, you are right about the $!  Although I will say that my wife is a great one and the "financial expert" when it comes to keeping the costs down yet maintaining high quality; I'm lucky I guess!  Also, thanks for the great story - hilarious (although perhaps not to your friend's dad!)   I hope you are doing well.  Take care and talk to you later.

Welcome back, jester of journalistic jargon, litigious levity, and general purveyor of whimsy.  Are fish taco fixins' destined for the nuptial menu?  Glad to finally see some fresh posts out of the Fernadina surf.

Hey Jackets Fan I had two Grand Daughters born 13 days apart last June. Grand kids are something special.

Best of luck in the future with your grand kids.

I have never been to a wedding where there were more than 5-6 African Americans...until last night. It was a very good time....but it was a little different. It's odd to think of my friends as being married.

Good day sports fan, I thought this quote was interesting, since having played with Adam and being African American. I under appreciated the values and moral conduct of those I went to school with, and play ball with! If my memory serves me right; I believe there were more then 5-6 African Americans on the football team, but please tell us how you really feel. Think  before you write dumb stuff like that!

Erik - dont take offense i did not read it in an offensive way.  he did not say he has never been around more than 5-6 but that he has never been to a wedding.   weddings historically feature more culture and customs and if you have never expereinced it, it will be a little different.  remember the part of the quote "it was a very good time"  one of the best weddings i went to was where a girl of storng german heritage married a guy with strong mexican heritage.  it was very different at the reception to anything i had ever expereinced but a hell of a good time.  that is not saying anything bad about it.  as SaintsFan loves to point out there are a tone of folks that roll through Defiance of Hispanic Heritage and i was friends with a lot of them...the wedding was still different.

Try being married in a Jewish ceremony.  They dropped me out of the freaking chair during the chair dance .

70dcalum- you thinking of going into politics?
