Guys, I thought this was a incredibly well-written article about the state of our nation right now in relation to Iraq and the threat of war. It prompts us all to harken back to days when patriotism was not a dirty word and asking "Why?" had its' limits. START OF TEXT How not to prepare for...

McPatrickClan My family is originally from Ireland where we were the McPatrick Clan. We have traced our history back to 200+ years ago. We then moved to Scotland for one generation and then made our way to America. When the family arrived here, there was rampant discrimination against...

By our actions, are we "trying" to piss off the world? It's a lot easier to do what Germany and France are doing than what we are doing. We will sustain casualties and give up innocent American blood to save their countries! If we took a strict isolationist policy, we would be forced into war...

:D :D :p :0 JoeP, you make me laugh. I have a buddy who is always falling back on this. I always thought he was a goon on this theory, but as I have matured, I have found this to be true. Good advice from your ancestor.

??? :( FatherT, you might be right. I am probably guilty of over-analyzing this. I do want someone to tell me that it is totally safe, but it isn't. We all smoke, knowing that we are risking our health to some degree. I just can't seem to pin down: to what degree? Does anyone really...

So is drinking pop, eating red meat, drinking alcohol, etc. Everybody seems to do OK with those things. The problem is, I have people acting like alarmists and frankly, they have me a bit concerned. I know I can trust you guys, so I wanted to solicit some information. FatherT, I read that...

Good call, Misc. I read your thread and went through the checklist. The tupper'dor is full, very little, if any movement.

So I started smoking the great cigar when I was 16. I looked cool, so, of course, I continued. Since I have graduated college and now have some extra bread, I am much more of a cigar enthusiast. I have two humidors and like to keep 60+ cigars on hand most of the time. I smoke about 3-5...

MEMO TO BARAK: This is like arguing with a wall. If I ever do this to anyone, please let me know so I can stop. Let's agree to disagree, fellow American.

Joe, the box is in route to you. The lady at the counter obviously didn't know there were 50+ cigars inside, or she would have been nicer! ??? The confirmation number is: 0302 0980 0000 6413 3104 (fingers crossed, hoping my first pack job prevents this pass from turning into a pipe...

OK, fellas, the box is packed :D and the label to JoeM. is on the box. I expect to USPS this to New Mexico first thing tomorrow morning. We are having a garage sale tomorrow starting at 7 AM, so things could get a bit busy :) I am handing my lineup card to the umpire. It says: 1. Fuego...

As requested, each of you will get 8+ cigars. I say 8+ because there are over 50 cigars now in the tupper'dor. The pass order will be as follows: 1. JOE.M. 2. Misc 3. MountainPasser 4. Robbmt 5. gws3 6. PuroBrat Expect the box to go out via USPS tomorrow morning. If there is a problem with...

I am a Credit Manager for AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. If you go to a dealership and finance a new vehicle, we might buy your loan. Who's next?

You were wearing Pumas and one of those off-white t-shirts that have a tuxedo design on the front. The crime was drinking and driving, underage. I WIN, right? :D

With a mugger there is the element of surprise. With taxes, there is no sticker shock. If you want to know what you will be paying, do some research and find out. Break out a Quicken CD or something. Do you attend a church? If so, you put money in the collection plate, right? Do you demand...

Great point, PB. The issue here is the way that people handle taxes, not the principle of paying into something as a community. With the amount of taxes they put on cigars, we should have separate parks with signs that say "Smokers ONLY!" :D

That is correct. As an American, you choose, each day, to renew your citizenship. You partake in the American economy, contribute is some small way to American society, and basically, well, engage in life in our land of the free. Are the taxes too high? Absolutely. Are politicians...

Guys, something has come up and Sam has had to bow out. We are now back to six. Anyone else want to play? If not, I will just divy these up among the chosen six!

Well, the freaking Yankees just came back and won it. F Jeter and B. Williams. They are the only A.L. team I hate.
