Retired Marine and former Pan Am/Delta Pilot John Lovell is Top Gun at Subway Sandwich Shop

Plantation, Florida:
Last week police were called to investigate an attempted armed robbery: The 71-year-old retired Marine who opened fire on two robbers at a Plantation, Florida, Subway shop late Wednesday, killing one and critically wounding the other, is described as John Lovell, a former helicopter pilot for two presidents. He doesn’t drink, he doesn’t smoke, and he works out every day. Mr. Lovell was a man of action Wednesday night.

Grandma’s Boyfriend

A 5-year-old boy went to visit his grandmother one day.
Playing with his toys in her bedroom while grandma was dusting, he looked up and said, ‘Grandma, how come you don’t have a boyfriend now that Grandpa went to heaven?’

Grandma replied, ‘Honey, my TV is my boyfriend. I can sit in my bedroom and watch it all day long. The religious programs make me feel good and the comedies make me laugh… I’m happy with my TV as my boyfriend.’

Grandma turned on the TV, and the reception was terrible. She started adjusting the knobs, trying to get the picture in focus. Frustrated, she started hitting the backside of the TV hoping to fix the problem.

The little boy heard the doorbell ring, so he hurried to open the door and there stood Grandma’s minister. The minister said, ‘Hello son, is your Grandma home?’

The little boy replied, ‘Yeah, she’s in the bedroom bangin’ her boyfriend.’

The minister fainted.

And then the fight started…

One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift….
The next year, I didn’t buy her a gift.
When she asked me why, I replied, “Well, you still haven’t used the gift I bought you last year!”
And that’s how the fight started…..

Just a shotgun

From an email I received:

You’re sound asleep when you hear a thump outside your bedroom door. Half awake, and nearly paralyzed with fear, you hear muffled whispers. At least two people have broken into your house and are moving your way. With your heart pumping, you reach down beside your bed and pick up your shotgun. You rack a shell into the chamber, then inch toward the door and open it.
In the darkness, you make out two shadows. One holds something that looks like a crowbar. When the intruder brandishes it as if to strike, you raise the shotgun and fire. The blast knocks both thugs to the floor. One writhes and screams while the second man crawls to the front door and lurches outside. As you pick up the telephone to call police, you know you’re in trouble.

Obama Picks Fight With Catholic Church in an Election Year: Game On (w/videos)

Reblogged from Nice Deb:

• 

Why is the Obama administration picking a fight with the Catholic church during an election year? It doesn’t make any sense. He’s got the bishops all riled up, and those guys are hard to rile up. He’s ticked off the Catholic church like no other President has ever done before. If Obama and Co think their assault on our religious liberties can be compared to the war in Iraq because the Catholic church opposed that, too, they’ve got another thing coming. The Catholic church may not have liked the Iraq war, …

nicedeb puts this post so succinctly, it isn’t possible to improve it. Check out what she’s saying here.

I think it was loud in Hilton Coliseum yesterday…

1) My ears finally stopped ringing.
2) It was even too loud for at least one Kansas fan:

I’ll stop gloating about this game sometime.

Maybe tomorrow!

Thanks to BoilerClone at CycloneFanatic: Too Loud for KU Fan in Hilton… (Forum board for Cyclone fans).

Cyclones win! 72-64 over #5 Kansas

In an important matchup, Kansas came into Hilton Coliseum with an unblemished record in Big 12 play, at 7-0. Well, it’s not unblemished any more. The Cyclones pull out a win (an upset? yes, you can say that, since they are ranked higher than us) to put Iowa State in sole possession of 4th place in the Big 12 conference. Pretty good for a bunch of transfers that no one else wanted, huh?

Keep it up, Cyclones. It’s a good win, and it will look good on your resume come Tournament Picking Time. But Kansas State is coming to Hilton on Tuesday, and they are gonna want some blood, after losing to Oklahoma today.

Highlights from the game. Babb’s “Dagger” shot is after 2:30.

Having trouble migrating from .Net 2.0 to .Net 3.5? Clean up your configs!

It seems that 3.5 is a lot pickier over what it will accept in a config file, than 2.0 was. Particularly if you are using the configSource attribute, to include separate files for different environments.

I was having issues deploying an application using ClickOnce. I had migrated it to VS 2008, so I could convert it to work on 64 bit machines. The old configs had a lot of additional tags, and 2008 doesn’t like extra tags.

Do your cleanup like you should be, and we won’t have this problem, will we? See, your mom was right. If you clean up after yourself, life will be much easier.

Looking forward to it! One more year!

My Daughter is Moving Out!

Last night, my daughter just walked into the living room and said, “Dad, cancel my allowance immediately, rent out my room, throw all my clothes out of the window, take my TV, stereo, iPhone, iPod, and my laptop. Please take all of my jewelry to the Salvation Army or Goodwill. Then sell my new car that you gave me. Take my front door key away from me and throw me out of the house. Then disown me and never talk to me again. And don’t forget to write me out of your will and leave my share to my brother.”

Well, she didn’t put it quite like that. What she actually said was…

“Dad, I have decided to work for Obama’s re-election campaign.”
