I'm thinking particularly of scooter and his ilk.

You'd have to replace me while I'm doing charity work in the Micronesians.

Do you think your man enough?  LOL!

Being a man has nothing to do with replacing you, but let's entertain your
fantasy.

I live within sight of two active volcanoes (part of the Cascade range) to
the east and the Olympics to the west.

I live within a half hour of some of the best diving on earth (we are soon
moving to be within 5 minutes distance, and will be at the base of the
Olympics).

I can go shooting any time I please.

My work is done from right here at my desk, and I keep getting more and
better contracts.

I have a life, a lovely, wonderful woman, and two primo dogs.

My kids are grown and out f.cking their lives up as fast as they can.

Why would I want to be stuck on a shitty little island out in the middle of
the Pacific for any amount of time, least of all to help you in any way?

You're not very bright, are you?

> You're not very bright, are you?

<snort>  Maybe so but I sure know how to push your buttons.  LOL

Now I must go and feed my labs and then head out to clear some jungle.  The
side yard is getting so over-grown again that it makes it hard to get a good
sight on the d@mn chickens.

You take care of yourself.  Do some diving and lay of the bottle.

We have had him for almost 2 years now. The a.shole that named him "Harley"
(what kind of speed freak/dildo would name an Akita Harley?) also kicked 1/2
the teeth out of the left side of his head, and busted a bunch of his ribs
on that side, all of which healed all bent up. He weighed 66 pounds when we
got him, he is 125 now, and fit as a fiddle.

But, I must say, I have always had a special place in my heart for labs.

Great dogs; some of the best, most loyal and hard working/playing dogs ever
invented.

Or, I make a damned fine suppressor for a .22 rifle.

Too busy to drink much lately.

Couple cold Heffe's is about it.

Have visiting dignitaries coming Friday night though...

Yep, labs are good dogs.  And that's from a man who doesn't like dogs.  Not
that I don't like dogs, I just don't like the responsibility of owning a
dog.  Of course, the person who doesn't want the dog always winds up being
the person who cares for the dog  ...  but we won't go there.

Don't need a silencer, thank you.  The neighbors all know that I shoot the
chickens.  It's with their permission.  And I use a pellet gun.  It's with
no joy that I kill the d@mn things but after two years I haven't found a
better way solve the problem.

Got my own "dignitaries" coming in on Saturday.  Old, dear friends from our
days in Mew Mexico.  I spent today clearing jungle, tomorrow I'll be steam
cleaning carpets.

Like "old Brownie," I've got to go hug my wife, have a good Mexican meal a
very large margarita.

Your old pal.

What kind of human doesnt like the keeper of the faith?

The best friend you could ever know?

A dog wont rip you off, lie to you, f.ck you over or stand by while you get
your a.s kicked.

A man that doesnt like dogs is suspicious to me.

A dog is a jewel, a gift from mother nature, truly mans best friend.

A dog would give his life to protect you or your wife without hesitation.

Killing isnt a joyful thing, just one of those things that has to be done.

Amazing. One of the folks hitting here is from New Mexico (he hates it
there).

> I loved New Mexico, I hated Albuquerque.

I had sushi in Albuquerque just to prove it could be done.  King Sushi, near
the train station.  I'm not sure if that's what made me sick, or else it was
the nasty Amtrak food, but I was laid up pretty good for quite a while.

Get off the train.

If you're hungry, eat at Sadie's.  It's near the train station.  Fantastic
New Mexican cuisine.  (My black lab is named after that restaurant.  "Suds"
is just her nick name.)

Then go hiking.

A fantastically beautiful state.  I used to love hiking there.  I could
drive an hour out of ABQ, get out of my car, and walk all day without
meeting another soul.  Just me and old "suds."
Greg Mossman - 23 Sep 2005 08:39 GMT
> Get off the train.

We did.  Headed to Santa Fe to meet up with relatives for Thanksgiving.  I
was coming down with the flu already and seeing my relatives made it worse.
Stayed a few nights at the La Fonda, had Thanksgiving dinner at the Inn of
the Anasazi, plenty of breakfasts/lunches at Cafe Pasquale, and obligatory
margaritas (and dinner) at Maria's.  A fun time, while I was in bed with a
101-degree fever in between margaritas and relative visitings.  The train
ride back was horrible, even with the sushi prelude.  Unlike the ride there,
they didn't upgrade us to the deluxe room, and our "roomette" was a very
uncomfortable closet.  So much for Amtrak.  I'd fly next time in a
heartbeat, but I hadn't taken the train in many years and thought it would
be "romantic".  Romantics obviously never had the flu.

 It works different in the Keys.

 I fed this really hot drunk chick Sashimi with chop sticks and and she
jumped naked in a pool.

 But I spent the night with Limey Dave, so I guess in the end it worked out
pretty much the same.

How elbow room you get on Hawaii?

The dez is a great place, especially when you get up in the mountains and
rock formations.

Ade and I sat through an amazing cloud burst/thunder storm north out of
Shiprock as we were coming down out of Utah and Arches National Park.

If memory serves, it is all part of the Great Basin.

Ahh, good old route 666.  Can you believe that there are people who want to
rename that road.  They consider it an affront to the religion.  LOL  What I
really loved about driving that route was that right there, just outside of
Farmington,  where we would turn onto 666 when driving from ABQ to SLC, was
a Baptist Church.  That used to just crack me up.

Oahu has a population of ~900,000.  750,000 of whom live in the Honolulu
metro area.  You get to some of the outer islands, like Molokai'i, and the
population drops into the thousands.

The number comes from Rev:13:18;
"
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the
beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred
threescore and six."

Doesn't say anything about roads or buildings, credit card numbers or any
other nonsense.

But, apparently it was renamed.

Arent some of those islands off limits to Haoulies, or is that urban legend?

You ment "haole."

This is the only state in the nation where it is legal and even encouraged
to be a racists.

I've sat at dinner with very fine, well dressed folks who refer to me as a
"haole."  They insist it is not a racist term.  Just a description: like
asian-american or latino.  As I leave that dinner and walk down the street
to my car, someone will drive by and scream: "you f*cking haole."

"HAOLE" IS A RACIST TERM!  However, the racism is on your part!  Now do
something about it!
WAHOO OAHU - 23 Sep 2005 23:48 GMT
Didja ever hear about "Kill a Haoie Day!"?

On the last day of school ... for decades .... the Haole kids were
roughed-up and worse!

It is the Code Red of Hawaii. Unspoken outside cause of how it would
effect tourism.  About 60 years ago it also included the Japanese as
the target population.

After Pearl Harbor .... the Japanese took control of both State & City
Government. Almost like a secret deal was made on the battleship
Missouri after US dropped the  bomb.

Kinda like ... sorry .... you can have Hawaii }^;

None of this effects the Groups topic ... still some of the Best Scuba
Diving on the Planet!

P.S.  If you ever find out who kicked out that Dogs teeth and broke his
ribs .... Please Post ... would love to get the identity of abusers aka
bullies of animals or people  known to one + all!

Anyone remember the movie "Star Chamber" (think it was called) with
Michael Douglas about Judges turned Vigalanties?  Where do I sign-up?
Maybe I'll start a Group?
Why not ... Pat Robertson can advocate and solicit for Captiol Murder
on TV and not get a Federal Inditment!

I rather favor the Spike from "Angel" method of torture for those who
favor torture of others.  Can never equal the pain they inflected on
others but at least give it a go!

No, all we could learn was that he was in jail for manufacture of meth and
for animal abuse.

To be honest I am glad they wont tell us.

I would be bound by duty and honor to go chain him, by the neck, to
something, feed him generic dog food once a week whether he needed it or
not, and kick his teeth out and ribs in.

Important thing is that Hansamu is all better now. In a home with people who
love him, good food and a nice bed to sleep in.
