Re: Toy guns should be banned

The NFL doesn't give a damn about the ticket-buying public

Although this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. When the 2015 NFL season schedule was originally announced, the Green Bay Packer/Minnesota Viking game scheduled for Week 17 (Jan 3, 2016) had a start time of 12:00 noon (Central Time).  However, about ten days ago when it appeared that the game ...

Re: 'Uman rights innit

As Jane Fonda once said, anyone who supports the war is as guilty of a war crime as the pilot who drops the bombs. After doing a Google search (using that line as the search term) I cannot find that quote credited to Ms. Fonda anywhere.  However, I did find this one: I remember saying goodbye to my...

Re: The further adventures of locationgal

You betcha.  Between 1978 and 1998 I used to do a 100-km bicycle tour (the 'Tour du Lac') in the fall every year to benefit the American Cancer Society there.  The route always included a roughly 25-mile loop around the lake, and then did a second loop that — depending on how they routed it that par...

Re: Early Xmas present.

I've got a good working relationship with the owner of a body-and-fender shop in my hometown, and there have been a couple of times where I've had minor problems and he has gotten replacement parts from a salvage yard and installed them for me.  Sure it was more costly than if I'd done it myself, bu...

Re: The further adventures of locationgal

Ah yes, I know the town well.  I'm from La Crosse, WI — about 70 miles west, more or less, along I-90.  You must have been driving I-94 — at least until you got to Tomah WI when it merged and ran together with I-90 as far as Madison. Drive carefully on your way back. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/s...
