BFCElvis Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Dear Slugs, I don't know if any of you morons know that Hunter S. Thompson regularly contributes to ESPNs "Page2" section. His current offering is a classic. Talking about out idiot son of an a**holes comments that he fell asleep before halftime of the SuperBowl. Here is a piece of it and the link. It is worth checking ESPNs site weekly for new articles. "This is no time for the "leader of the free world" to be falling asleep at massively-popular sporting events. He is already trailing heavily in polls among football fans and young males who would do anything to see a naked female nipple during halftime at the Super Bowl." http://espn.go.com/page2/s/thompson/040218.html With love, Elvis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpkr Posted February 21, 2004 Author Share Posted February 21, 2004 Originally posted by Michael Dorosh: The U.S.S. Constitution (Old Ironsides) as a combat vessel carried 48,600 gallons of fresh (remember that figure) water for her crew of 475 officers and men. This was sufficient to last six months of sustained operations at sea. She carried no evaporators (fresh water distillers). However, let it be noted that according to her log, "On July 27, 1798, the U.S.S. Constitution sailed from Boston with a full complement of 475 officers and men, 48,600 gallon s of fresh water, 7,400 cannon shot, 11,600 pounds of black powder and 79,400 gallons of rum." Her mission: "To destroy and harass English shipping." Making Jamaica on 6 October, she took on 826 pounds of flour and 68,300 gallons of rum. Then she headed for the Azores, arriving there 12 November. She provisioned with 550 pounds of beef and 64,300 gallons of Portuguese wine. On 18 November, she set sail for England. In the ensuing days she defeated five British men-of-war and captured and scuttled 12 English merchantmen, salvaging only the rum aboard each. By 26 January, her powder and shot were exhausted. Nevertheless, and though unarmed, she made a night raid up the Firth of Clyde in Scotland. Her landing party captured a whiskey distillery and transferred 40,000 gallons of single malt Scotch aboard by dawn. Then she headed home. The U.S.S. Constitution arrived in Boston on 20 February 1799, with no cannon shot, No food, No powder, NO rum, NO wine, NO whiskey and 38,600 gallons of stagnant water. Perhaps Seanachai can still get into the Navy? No, this just means they had a contingent of Marines onboard. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope...sky happens to be pleasantly blue with a slight breeze out of the Southwest. Haven't noticed any bloodlike celestial bodies, hoardes of insects, or gnomes falling from the skies. Think you missed your chance killer. Oh well, nother 60,000 and you can try again I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadepm Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Mammoplasty grog. Yes, well it's a skill. At one time (a long time ago) I enjoyed watching MTV, and Janet Jackson was on about all the time. I have seen her "assets" moving in a number of different directions leaving me to believe they are real. Anybody know for sure they ain't? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
