I wish the National Guard would come to the college here and take out some hippies. They're getting thicker than flies!

I recall that day very well. My father being military and Pro National Gaurd and my sister being very vocal in her political views. Whats that saying about two immovable objects?

And how not to re-post old Internet-bound "choking Doberman" stories!

Whoo-boy. Are you really that new to the Internet (or are you that old?)

OK, I don't waste my time with senseless drivel. As a rule, I run e-mails thru Snopes before I forward something. I should have done the same with the e-mail about the kid on the bike.
FYI: I am that old and I consider it an accomplishment to have lived this long being such a smart-butt. So, what do you want to be if you grow up?
p.s. Thanks for posting the vid. I think I finally figured it out.

Retired and living in TN, sitting on my front porch spitting watermelon seeds into a bucket whilst smoking a corn-cob pipe, all the while admiring my Por-sha parked under the blue tarp lean-to.

And let me tell you, LIFE IS GRAND.
I hope you make it some day.

I guess I've vaguely heard of this one, but it definitely pre-dates the internet. Not really sure what point you are trying to make here HVW

Its an attack at me posting an e-mail story about a kid surviving a motorcycle accident.
This guy needs to buy a lottery ticket
My mistake for not checking it out first.
Lets get back on topic.

"Attack"? Wow...you're an Obama-votin' liberal, too!?!

Perhaps a "dig" or a "poke", but I think "attack" is pretty strong, no?

Here's my post. Not much different than something anyone else would have posted had they been there first:

A) This is old, old, old.

B) The dude (obviously) did not survive.

C) Did you just get high speed internet?

D) Snopes is your friend: http://www.snopes.com/photos/accident/tulsacrash.asp

OK, its a jab at me.

"Jab"! There you go. That's the word I was looking for. Much better.
