CarolAnn 926 Posted October 15, 2006 Re the longevity comments above. Whatever Carter's failings as a president he's - arguably - the most successful ex-president in living memory given his work for international peace brokering. Dunno if he still keeps an interest in peanut farming, mind. Americans also tend to conveniently forget that Carter was the one who brokered the release of the Iranian Embassy hostages - not Reagan. He's also an ambassador for Habitat for Humanity. Until relatively recently, he would work on their housing blitzes as well. All in all, a good man. I don't know that there's a lot more that can be said about anyone that really makes a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isure could go for some Guinness on tasp righret about now, lets' all join in a song feast shalkll wwe? "Rheingold Beer Jingle (theme, based upon Estudiantina Waltz)" [aka: "Estudiantina Valse, Opus 191, No. 4 (The Students' Waltz)"; The Beer jingle with a lyric by an unknown ad agent, used the melody of this famous light-classical waltz tune. The lyric was, "My beer is Rheingold the dry beer. Think of Rheingold whenever you buy beer. It's not bitter, not sweet, it's the extra dry treat -- Won't you try extra dry Rheingold beer?" The melody of this old European waltz tune was the memorable part used as the TV THEME Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted October 19, 2006 They are actually saying that Ford is frail. And he might not return to his home in Colorado. I swear if he f****n dies a few days before surpassing Reagon, I think i'll really lose my mind. I'll kill Typhoid Harry and Tempus Fugit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

football_fan 42 Posted October 19, 2006 Gerald Ford may his logtime home in Colorado because of his frail health, his spokeswoman Penny Circle said. Agreed and confirmed by this link, if you mean he may sell his Colorado home. The death of Mr. Ford is close. That remains a possibility, as he is elderly and in frail health, but there is no official confirmation of this from any news source. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dunno about anyone else I'd like to see him make November 12th and a record that every president since will struggle to break, and then hit the dirt hard before the end of the year because he's useless to us as a 2007 pick.

maryportfuncity 10,687 Posted October 19, 2006 Looks like BS has a prototype of that invisibility device currently being pioneered by a British scientist. Incidentally, I really hope Ford makes that mid-November date. It's our last chance to see that record broken for a long time. In 11 years time George Bush (b 12-06-1924), and Jimmy Carter (b 01-10-1924) could be struggling along to 93 years and 120 odd days. But I'm not sure they'll last that long.

TLC 9 Posted October 20, 2006 And the most tedious thread on the site chunters on and on. Well, if you insist on posting on this thread to complain about it, it's going to keep reappearing at the top of the thread list, isn't it? And presumably carry on chuntering, which I must admit I thought was one of the recently discovered lost 'Carry On' tapes. I for one will not be making that mistake, AtJ. Ah.

Banshees Scream 110 Posted October 21, 2006 Looks like BS has a prototype of that invisibility device currently being pioneered by a British scientist. Just last night I left my eye open watching the 11.00 news, they explained that science has successfully made objects vanish from sight. This intreagued me. A similar project was performed durning WW2, when they attempted to disguise submarines and small ships from the eyes of an enemy. It was a failure. But looking into the future, it would be an experience to become a ghost before you are dead. Think about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted October 21, 2006 Just last night I left my eye open watching the 11.00 news, they explained that science has successfully made objects vanish from sight.Sort of. Apparently they can bend Radar around objects. In visible light it doesn't work. Yet?This intreagued me. A similar project was performed durning WW2, when they attempted to disguise submarines and small ships from the eyes of an enemy. It was a failure. That depends a bit. The research in camouflage painting of vessels turned out some very effective results. I've read somewhere that in transatlantic convoys, when 'dazzle painting' was just introduced, ships collided often. The captains complained bitterly that they couldn't see the other boats in broad daylight. Are you perhaps thinking of the Philadelphia Experiment? That's a bit apocryphal. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
