  1. When I want a Hamburger, I call work and get a pizza. Sounds funny, doesn't it? But have you SEEN the new Domino's Commercials with "The Donald"? We've got this new "American Classic Cheeseburger Pizza", It's got Cheddar and American Cheeses, crumbled bits of hamburger (seasoned like a regular hamburger) Tomatoes, onions, and the sauce? it's a ketchup type sauce with just a hint of mustard. and it is AWESOME!

    I may try it. If I don't like you know who I will blame! :devil2:

    Probably me...I get blamed alot around here. probably because, with all the military folk current and former, running around my house, I'm the junior-most. (E-4)

  3. mine can at times have a very rapid turnover rate. mine will probably change within the next 16 days, though. I dunnow if I will get rid of the Reggie Memorial, but I dunnow if you can read what the lillipie thing says, but Julie is down to 16 days till she's due.

    Ya said something about how long till she was due, Jim. That did it. Sealed the deal. I've had this same signature since I came back from the Middle East. I haven't gotten around to changing it yet.


  4. Mountain Dew with no caffeine!   :biggrin:   Why drink it without caffeine!?!

    My thoughts exactly, Odie. it's like decaf coffee or NA Beer! It's just not right!

    305697[/snapback]

    What's the legal age to buy NA beer anyway, still 21? It does contain very small amounts of alcohol. I do feel bad for the troops in Islam nations, they can't get beer or if they do, it's O'Douls :clap:

    I think it is, still, Psy. and yes, having been there, it does suck. and Playboy is banned...


  5. Gettysburg national Military Park, I love History

    Haven't been there, but I would like to.. <response continues...>

     

    Gettysburg national Military Park, I love History

    313507[/snapback]

    I love history and Gettysburg is awesone. There is the sadness mentioned in above posts and the stuborness of the combatants there and the willingness to lay down their lives for their country. The tactics and ebb and flow of the battle are also quite impressive as are the many monuments there.

     

    The National Mall is indeed impressive and the Lincoln, Korean War and Vietnam Wall memorials are among my favorites. Across the river is Arlington National Cemetery another moving, emotional place to visit.

    Been both places...this week. Ah, there is a song on Trace Adkins' new CD <"Songs About Me"> called "Arlington", it's a cool song, made me want to cry.

     

    by far, though, my favorites are the various parks associated with the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park. for those who haven't been to these parks, it's 4 battlefields in and around Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania, VA: Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, Chancellorsville, and The Wilderness. <Chancellorsville has a monument marking the place where Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson was mortally wounded in May, 1863>


  6. I guess I have to wonder if that is a genuine "911" tape - if it was a genuine 911 call then the operator should have said something about the situation not being an emergency and gotten her off the line faster.

     

    Now, if she just called the police department (you can do that you know) not the emergency line then the conversation would have seemed more likely. 

     

    But if she called 911 for that then she should be fined.

     

    Anyway, I'm always skeptical - not that people that stupid don't exist but I just can't imagine the operator would respond that way.

    it is possible to be fined for that...I'm not sure about 911, but faked SOS calls involving the Coast Gaurd can land you in jail for something like 12 months and it's about a 14,000 dollar fine...


  7. I should add some foriegn Trek stuff..

     

    Murackta Klopach Jim! Treplocka Micshkal!

     

    (Valderan for "Hail Lord Jim! Bow Down!")

    Lol! Darth Jimmy works better for you, Jim. put it in your signature, though.


  8. if the ship is designed for Combat, then the 1250 include not only the people manning the combat systems (Weapons, sheilds, sensors, countermeasure, and defensive systems) but also important non-combattant roles, such as medical aide, Damage Control, and the like. I know in the Navy, everyone is a firefighter, and I would expect Starfleet would have similar requirements, such as everyone be able to put out a fire, or help fix a damaged bulkhead or something.

    Just wondering...

     

    How many does it actually take to fly a starship? I mean minimum number of people. Lets say, for a Sovereign class, a Galaxy, Excelsior, Constitution, Intrepid and Defiant class? In real life, how many does it actually take to man an aircraft carrier? SSN? or a Destroyer in the Navy?

    What you refere to is the Skeleton Crew, the minimum number of personnel required for a ship to conduct it's job. I'd say the general rule is probably 1/5 to 1/10 the normal crew load, depending on how much automation a ship has. a Galaxy class Starship may be able to operate with a Skeleton Crew of 100. a Navy Guided Missile Cruiser, probably 90-100. it just depends on the design.


  9. I think just cheese pizza is terribly boring.  I like sausage, black olives, and mushrooms but recently have been going with just pepperoni and artichoke hearts (with cheese.)  :P  It is a surpisingly tasty combo!

    Artichoke hearts? Maybe we autta try that...

     

    and Psy, at Domino's we give each topping a letter designator. Pepperoni is P, Sausage is S, Mushrooms are M, Black olives are R, Bacon is K, Extra Cheese is C....Some make sense, some don't. and some put together make interesting combos. such as PMS.
