Darkness has decended

This is Radio Tabs Broadcasting to the known world. The Darkness has come we live in a world of suicide bombers, corporate thieves, government Bureaucrats where everyman is clinging to the last shred of his ideal of a life vanished. So how does a man find his way in the dark, where the operative norm is dirty deeds done dirt cheap.

I don't know about your world, but the one I read about, the dirty deeds are done rather expensively.

Tabs,

You're talking about 3% of the population. Don't let it get you down.

3% and growing. Germany was 10% Nazi and look what they did!

TABS has a very good point - the middle beast is scary fer sure. Iran has ramped up production of enriched Uranium and Korea is asleeping mess for now. Venezuala hates us and Various African nations are brutal beyond contemplation. Haiti is always a joy and lest not forget China.

Tabs - I agree, it is plenty scary.

Note to the evil do'rs - stay out of my lil corner of Texas...

Well He11 if its only Kim, CC and myself...I'll clean the house, pull out the Good China and Silverware....pull out the Good Booze put on some soothing music and fire up the BBQ.

Hmmm..Mother took all my Lawerence Welk Champagne Bubble Band Polka CDs. I can't find my Osmond Family albums either...and somehow I just don't think Black Sabath will do.

Don't forget to setup the webcam!

Somehow I don't think Kim and CC are the Lawerence Welk type.

Time to break out a little Marvin Gaye. (But that wouldn't really be fair, would it?)

Hate to break up the party, but Fintstone and myself will be there as well. G9 may be wussing out and Rodehard, well who knows about him. Hope that Lubemeister (Mike H) is coming as the check he is bringing is paying for everything!

Wayne may make it and have talked to Todd (Nostatic) as well as Michael (Singpilot) and they may be there. Working on a surprise guest to boot, so there will be a few Pelicanites there.

If you have some Balvinie, get it ready. If not, then tell me and will bring some along. Have gotten addicted to the "nectar of the Gods" while over here...

My big question is, do I bring the bike, car or both?? Decisions, decisions!
