Wow....thanks for bestowing me with that moniker, BC, even though I never laid claim to it. It's nice to be recognized for something! :thumbsup: As a result, I hereby invite any and all Freeones members to feel free to come to me for guidance or advice on any subject....sort of like a...

That was indeed a trick question!! As for your question....I'm pretty sure it was the Giants but I don't recall the exact year and since you didn't ask for one, I'm claiming the prize.

I don't recall that he ever won an MVP but I'm going to say Eddie Murray.

LOL well don't feel too bad. We still can't buy ****** here until noon on Sunday. That means the only place you can get a ***** that morning is in church. :1orglaugh

Don't speak for Texas....it's literally changing right before our eyes. The speed at which this metamorphosis is taking place scares the hell out of the establishment (a major factor that led to the meteoric rise of a guy like Ted Cruz in the first place). It's yesteryear for sure....whether...

BC will. He already said that he has sent a check to Cruz' campaign. I know plenty of backwoods, Bible-thumping, racist (not to imply that BC is necessarily a racist but plenty of Cruz' supporters are for sure), xenophobic, secessionist, reactionary individuals right here in the great state of...

What, are y'all a bunch of anti-Semites? Happy Passover!!!! It's quite a big deal here in rural Texas.

I truly envy "the greatest generation" of my ****** but, if anything, I would retrace the steps of my paternal grandmother. She was born in 1897 and died in 1996 at the ripe old age of 98. She witnessed everything that happened from the ***** and buggy era to the space shuttle. There were...

They are allegedly non-profit organizations and therefore are exempt from most taxes. It's a joke....the Lakewood Church (Joel Osteen) here in Houston rakes in millions every year....all tax free. The Catholic church has more wealth than....well, God himself. If we were to remove churches...

All the more reason to exercise whatever control over them we can. There's an old saying...."Keep you friends close and your enemies closer". Excellent find and the commentary is spot-on. I'd rep you if the rep police would let me, spacearrow. :thumbsup:

According to the Catholics, he's 3 entities.

Re: British Foreign Secretary P. Hammond about the Iran deal : "well beyond what we thought possible If the final deal that is applied by the June 30th deadline adheres to this framework, this is a major step forward toward the prevention of the development of a nuclear weapon by the Iranians...

The regular season in the NHL is meaningless (the Kings proved that last season)....unless you don't make the playoffs. After that, it's who can get the timely goal and who can ride the hot goaltender. The Isles will go as far as Taveras and Halak will take them. If both get hot, they could...

Opening day preview: St. Louis Cardinals Projected lineup: 3B Matt Carpenter RF Jason Heyward LF Matt Holliday 1B Matt Adams SS Jhonny Peralta C Yadier Molina CF Jon Jay 2B Kolten Wong Bench: Mark Reynolds - 1B, OF Randall Grichuk - OF Peter Bourjos - OF Pete Kozma - SS, 2B, 3B Tony Cruz...

Serious twist in the latest episode as Chuck pulled the rug on Jimmy by derailing his efforts to become a partner at HHM. I have a feeling this backstab will eventually come full circle but in the meantime "Slippin' Jimmy" is back on track for a solo career from the rear of the nail salon. I...

Dubnyk, hands down. The Wild have been on a ceaseless rampage since they acquired him.

No doubt about it. Clothes win. :eek:

More than unlikely....impossible. There would have to be so many different people from separate segments of the commercial aviation industry to be in on this conspiracy as to be ridiculous. Sounds like Lubitz's friends are in denial. Besides....what exactly was the mechanical failure....a...

I'm afraid the flight data recorder was possibly destroyed by the severity of the impact. If they haven't found it yet, they likely won't. It's bright orange markings are usually very easy to spot. Unless there is something of an extreme magnitude that has not been disclosed, there's no way...

Yeah, well that's hockey. I seem to recall your Hawks dropping 2 straight to a couple of teams that aren't making the playoffs last week, didn't they? :dunno: That said....the Blues aren't playing well at all the past 2 games but of much greater concern is Tarasenko leaving the ice last night...

"deviant lifestyles"??? Wow....I wonder what sort of kinky **** you (and many others) are into surfing Freeones every day. Point is, it's irrelevant when it comes to everyone's right to the pursuit of happiness. It's none of anyone's Goddamn business. And to answer your question, it's...

Forget the discriminatory or religious-freedom aspects of this argument....it's simply bad for business to trot something like this out in front-and-center style the way Pence did it. A number of states have similar legislation but Indiana is making a big deal out of it so they will pay the...

Well, y'all can take your Islamophobic "information" and stick it where the sun don't shine. The dude had severe manic-depressive issues that he deliberately hid from Lufthansa. This is a very scary disclosure that outlines a serious flaw in the airline employment process....the fact that a...

Thanks for the hockey rep!

Re: Self proclaimed "patriot" places bombs in a park to warn people about the threat of muslim terro This is downright Islamophobia personified in the worst possible way....a contrived message that Muslims are committing terrorist acts. God damn....that's just fucking crazy.

The Bruins OT win today was huge for them. Coupled with the Ottawa loss to the Panthers (who are still in the race....they have 2 games left on the schedule against Boston) puts them 3 points up. However, the race is tighter than that since Ottawa has a game in hand so we'll see how that plays...

There's a lot of time between now and November of 2016 for him or anyone else to become "known". Nobody who is known was known before they were known. ya know?

Man, Columbus has got to be the absolute best team in the league that isn't making the playoffs! They've won 8 road games in a row (an incredible feat) and easily (and I do mean easily) have beaten Anaheim, Chicago and St. Louis over their past 3 games. This is a team to look for next...

I really like him but so far everything points toward what you said he wanted to do first....become governor of California. Looks to me like he may have his eye on 2020 but if Hillary keeps stumbling and Liz doesn't run I don't think anyone would rally around Uncle Joe so perhaps Newsom could...

Yep, although I really don't know how they allowed Lucic's first goal after the ref waved it off. Anyway, the Bruins are still alive. The Panthers face a must-win scenario tonight in Montreal. The Preds appear to be back on track. We'll see what happens tonight with the remainder of the...

It's actually alkaline so it works like lye....or Drano to give a more modern example. Everyone knows the Coca-cola trick to clean up battery terminals, right? It's one reason it ain't so good for your stomach....it encourages the over-production of stomach acid to neutralize the alkalinity of...

Thanks for the rep!

I use Liquid Wrench for that as well....works really good. Also if you have wasp nests all you have to do is hit the wasps with a shot of WD-40 and they'll drop like they were shot with a bazooka....ruins the nest for future residency as well.

Don't look now but the surging Wild (terrible name but I love their team) are breathing down Chicago's neck for 3rd in the Central Division. Plus, the Jets are only 4 points behind the Hawks. Some really big games today as the Preds/Caps, Rangers/Bruins, Ducks/Isles, Sens/Leafs...

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet but there's a great series on AH network (American Heroes) called Apocalypse: World War I. It's a colorized documentary that really brings some very vivid images along with a great narrative on all facets of the war. I believe it may also have been an...

Yes. Or Reuters, AP, NBC, CBS, ABC, NY Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, London Daily Mail, Rheinische Post or any other legitimate news source. Why am I not surprised? :dunno:

JFK and Bush 41.

There's no legitimate news source that is making any claims or even suggesting the possibility that Lubitz was a "radical Muslim" and there is no evidence to back up such a claim. At this point, such conjecture without substantiation is exactly what Supadupa says it is....Islamophobia. Let's...

Actually, one way that this could possibly be achieved is to have the ground-proximity warning software include an airspeed override to help differentiate between a landing approach and a controlled descent into terrain. Flight 9525 impacted the terrain at a speed of 440 knots....about 500...

I wasn't necessarily referring to your posts directed at me (although, as a "lib", I do take offense when you tell me to "suck it". Don't worry....I'll get over it :1orglaugh) as much as I was referring to your posts in general. I can relate to your frustration but to sink to the level of the...

I am. You know, you used to be a halfway reasonable person with whom to have a semi-intelligent exchange of ideas. Now, you just seem like a bitter (your avatar!), myopic, mean and insulting asshole to be quite honest. I liked the old you much better. Just an observation and no personal...

I think you're seriously overplaying your recent penchant for the "suck it, (fill in the liberal target of choice)" comment on this one, BC. Liberals don't do anything but shake their collective heads and laugh at a joke of a candidate like Ted Cruz. As a republican, you should realize that...

This has been talked about for quite some time. The first major obstacle is expense....labor costs for the airlines would virtually double for redundant flight crews. Unfortunately, that issue alone is probably a deal-killer. The airlines operate in a morbid world of "acceptable casualty...

This is not an FAA regulation to the best of my knowledge. If you've flown commercially in the US, you'll notice that whenever one of the flight officers leaves the cockpit, a flight attendant will block access to the front galley area (usually with a beverage cart in the way) until the officer...

At no point do I see the "perp" in this case attempt to resist or flee....and yet he was put in ***** hold, tasered and beaten to a ****** pulp. Coincidentally, he just happens to be a black man (hard to believe, I know but....). Be sure to page down to watch all the videos...

Just ride out the storm and tell yourself that tomorrow will be a better day. It invariably is. Good luck....life is indeed worth living!

This is a nightmare scenario that has sometimes been speculated upon after the cockpit-access safeguards were put into place after 911. Lubitz was obviously aware of the fact that he would have a minimum of 8 minutes during which there were fail-safe contingencies in place to ensure that no one...

The huge comeback win by St. Louis last night on the road against Pittsburgh would have been much bigger had Nashville lost to Montreal. To the Predators' credit, however, they came back from a 2-1 third period deficit to beat the Habs in OT. That made the difference between a single point and...

:2offtopic Besides, AuH20 is WAY > than Tailgunner Joe. Comparing the two is preposterous and irrelevant. Of course, you're still longing for a return to 1950s America so the analogy on your behalf is not surprising. ;)

Thanks for the rep!
