Can I ask why you are such a staunch defender of Israel?
I’ve been to Auschwitz. I’m not Jewish, but even I said “Never again.” Then I did 6 months TDY with the IDF. The average Israeli only wants to live and let live. I’m just fine with that.

Speaking of Death…do y’all think a 13 year old is ready for this?
My oldest grandson is a wrestling fan and he adores “Cult of Personality” because he’s a big CM Punk fan. So last weekend I decided to educate him about Living Colour because they are an incredible band. We were jamming out together to “ Open Letter to a Landlord”. I think my next step in his education is Death (the Detroit band)!
re: Your Last Song
Posted by Uatu on 5/8/26 at 12:17 am to Saint Alfonzo
I’m pretty sure nobody on this thread has ever heard of this song or the songstress! But if this is the last song I hear before I transition into the next existence, I will go with a smile. The next thing I will see is my lovely wife again. It’s been 30 months since she passed away and I still miss her terribly!
I’m due for one this year. It’s a breeze once you finish the prep. My doc actually allowed me to have veggie broth to help out with the 24 hour fast. As posted earlier, once your bowels run clear, you can ease up on the prep.
Just be prepared to be the entertainment for your significant other as you come out of anesthesia. My late wife regaled anyone who would listen about my remarks in the recovery unit!

With that in mind, we're only talking one federal seat here ... Jim Clyburn's. That's it for the state of SC. But Clyburn has got to go.
When I lived in North Charleston, I literally spent 12 years bouncing back and forth between Clyburn’s district (SC 6) and Sanford’s (SC 1). Of course, it was racial gerrymandering as the primary reason. If Clyburn needed to ensure a non competitive race, my neighborhood would be placed in the 6th. If he was safe, I would be in the 1st.
I’m waiting for the copycat teams to start appearing.Maybe the Bananas saw it coming and made their own stooge teams? They’re drawing too much attention/money to still be the only comedy team in town

I went to a USC-Tennessee game with my cousin (UT alum) in Columbia. He always acknowledged Gamecock fans with a wave or a tip of his cap. When I asked him why, he said “Those guys are the most loyal fans in the SEC. Even when Holtz first got there and had an winless season, they were still in the stands. Respect.”

I can list 50, but if I had to pick ONE, it’s this one. Every time I listen, I lament about how much I miss horn sections in today’s music:

Yes Americans are waking up more importantly the black population is waking up, The Dems know it, that's why they want all the illegals here for a new voting block.
There it is. As a 7/8ths black guy, I knew Obama was a fraud as soon as he came onto the political stage. Why? Because he had the blessing of the Democratic machine in Chicago. NOBODY comes out of Chicago unless they are properly trained and controlled.
What did he actually do for us? Not a damn thing except lip service and Obamaphones. He laid the groundwork for the full blown illegal invasion in the Biden administration tho. Went to the wall for the alphabet community as well.
Yes, the joke ended up being on us.

He didn’t checkTrivago
I use Trivago as a tool. I’m a HHonors, IHG, and Choice member. ALWAYS compare the inhouse price to the third party price, and I have no problem letting them know that I found a cheaper price 3rd party. Most times I get a room upgrade or a voucher on a future stay but I got an upgrade to a Waldorf-Astoria instead of an ordinary Hilton back during COVID days. Best hotel stay ever!
I’m going to sit this one out. My wife passed away in 2023 from liver failure. The real reason was because she broke her shoulder in 2017 and became dependent on pain meds. She didn’t use her meds to get high, her only desire was to reduce her pain to a dull ache instead of constant. You want emotional pain? How about trying to keep a brave front KNOWING that the person you love most in the world is in pain and you can’t do anything about it? The Death Angel came to her as a friend instead of a foe. I can only hope that we’ll be together again someday. For now, our grandchildren still need their Papa and I plan on being there for them for as long as possible. Addiction is a journey that I refuse to make judgment on, because it could be me one day
re: Did you know that Georgia, LSU, and Vandy football players dodged the draft in 1943?

Brigadier General Robert Neyland has arrived in this thread. Left his coaching position at Tennessee not once, but twice to serve his country. Tennessee did not field teams for the time mentioned until he returned. He was the epitome of a true Tennessee Volunteer. Even as a Navy veteran and fan of the Midshipmen, I have nothing but respect for Coach Neyland!
re: How difficult was it to get a room at that DC Hilton?
Posted by Uatu on 4/27/26 at 8:10 pm to CharlesUFarley
I’ve been an HHonors member for 20 years. Stay at either that Hilton or the Doubletree in Silver Spring whenever I stay in DC. It’s simplicity itself. And it’s OVER after this

Not a single fatty in sight.
My oldest granddaughter was stick thin for her first 9 years on Earth. My second granddaughter was literally nicknamed “Birdie”. #1 is now 13, 5’5” and a bill and a half. #2 is now 9 and we’re expecting her menstrual cycle to start at any moment. It’s what’s in their food now. I’m trying to be respectful when it comes to their mothers, but “svelte” doesn’t apply!
One more from the keyboards. Patrice Rushen. “Remind Me”. Such a refreshing, thoughtful tune! I can play this on loop and spend a couple of hours listening easily
Let’s try this again! I’ve been concentrating on keyboards for my listening this weekend. Aretha Franklin. “Til You Come Back To Me”. Donnie Hathaway on piano and Hammond organ, but Aretha has done the piano intro herself in concert. Pure soul perfection.
re: Worst SEC #1 Draft Pick?

Tim Couch should have went to Tennessee instead of Kentucky. The shadow of Peyton Manning convinced him otherwise, plus he went to the horrible team called the Cleveland Browns. JaMarcus stands alone as the worst bust.
