Wait, we have to go to Norman to get my daughter's classes scheduled. We will run up there on Saturday - that means no internet until we get back and run through graduation on Wednesay. So that will skew it the other way.
Seriously, you idiot.

JWTK, we went on a cruise almost 25 years ago (with lots of people who were old - around my current age). Cunard Line, awesome service.

Cunard, now owned by Carnival, built the Queen Mary 2. They built it under the Cunard co. because of the prestige. It has a rrroller blade rink for your boys, plus it has rock climbing. Sweet eh?

The Freedom ship is supposed to have a a ton of rec space, but you'll have to check the site to see how much. It will be an amazing structure, if it actually happens. Parks out the whazz. Just check iit out. It's fascinating.

I am not the biggest post padder here (see OUThunder), but I am not against it to get the prize.

Not for the weak stomached, I thought I'd post what real torture is like....




An Iraqi defector with detailed knowledge of Saddam Hussein's decades-long record of torture and human rights abuses has stepped forward to challenge the claims of premier peace activist and former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, who has been telling audiences that reports of the Iraqi dictator's brutality are greatly exaggerated

On Thursday, Maha Yusef, a former Iraqi citizen who escaped from Saddam's clutches along with her husband in the 1980s, described several executions that were preceded by the most gruesome and extreme methods of torture - episodes that were personally supervised by Saddam or his son Uday.

Yusef described the plight of one of Saddam's own relatives, Dr. Rahji al Tikriti, who had escaped to Amman, Jordan, in a blatant show of defiance against the Baath Party regime.

The Iraqi dictator sent word to his relative that "if you come back to Iraq, you'll be fine, we'll forgive you," Yusef told WLIE-NY Radio's Mike Siegel.

The relative agreed. Yusef explained what happened next:

"As soon as he arrived back in Baghdad Dr. Rahji was taken to jail. He was starved for a few days. Then, while Saddam was meeting with his cabinet, he said, 'I would like you to come out and let's look at this courtyard.'"

Dr. Rahji, meanwhile, had been dragged from his jail cell, stripped naked and marched to the center of the courtyard - in full view of the gathering.

As recounted by the Iraqi defector, "Four or five Doberman Pinschers who hadn't eaten for a while - [Saddam] actually had them go and eat this gentleman alive."

"He loves doing these kind of acts," Yusef told Siegel, because it sends a message to other dissidents.

The defector-turned-American citizen said her account of Saddam ordering his own relative's execution by dog mauling is "a well-known story" in Iraq, and sourced her own version to several Iraqis with intimate knowledge of Baath Party brutality.

Yusef detailed another execution ordered by Saddam's high-living son Uday, who killed "a beautiful Iraqi woman" who made the mistake of telling her hairdresser that he had invited her to a party at the presidential palace.

Saddam's secret police were tipped that the woman was bragging she was Uday's girlfriend.

When the woman arrived at the palace, Uday had her stripped naked in front of other party guests, slathered with honey and thrown into a room full of bees, where she was stung to death.

"Obviously, he learned these little techniques from his father," Yusef told Siegel.

The former Iraqi citizen detailed yet another gruesome episode that dates back to the Iran-Iraq war, when Saddam asked his cabinet if anyone disagreed with his battle strategy. When the health minister suggested it might be a good idea to declare a cease-fire, Saddam invited him to step into an adjoining room.

Then he personally shot him in the head.

The brutality didn't end there. Believing that her husband had been jailed rather than executed, the health minister's wife appealed for his release. She was ecstatic when Saddam agreed to her request.

"First thing in the morning she opens her door and she sees this plastic bag on her doorstep," Yusef said. "Inside was her husband's body - cut into many pieces." Apprised last week of Maha Yusef's account of the dog attack execution, peace activist Clark said: "I've worked with problems of defection and informers for years and years and they're not generally reliable. You have to be careful about who you're talking to. I also recognize propaganda. And I hear more garbage and propaganda coming out about how evil the Iraqi people are."

I've always thought that propaganda was what the other guy was saying - when he didn't agree with what you were saying.

Seriously.

Simpler BCS would ditch schedule strength

I guess we just need to dunp te BCS all together. This is horse sh#t. I can't believe that with the pansy schedule that USC had, people really care that they beat Michigan. BUNK!!!!!!!!!!


They are ruining the best system yet. It ain't a playoff, but it is better than the new crap.

Hey, I was padding to get 1350. dang.

[Jason White's Third Knee]

Next time I will be less interesting. and that will be tough.

[OUinFLA]

Baja scoops another "key" number.
Not bad for a part time post padder.

Seriously.

[BajaOklahoma]

Rats, I wasn't even trying to get the "magic number". I thought that I would be 1348 or so.
JW, next time use the quick reply at the bottom of the page. It will only let you enter a message every 30 seconds though. And make your messages shorter so I won't mess up the post padding.

Seriously, you idiot!

[OUthunder]

I hate post padders.

I did use the quick post function, but I was too busy trying to post unique themes. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

[OUinFLA]

I suggest a diciplinary banning for "thread busters" ??
Those who knowingly or unknowinly jump into someone elses
attempt to reach some mythically magic post number and ruin
a perfectly good thought pattern. Oh..........wait, we would
have to ban OUthunder every day!!!!!!!!
Seriously, I was thinking perhaps a 30 minute posting ban for
the offender.............again........wait,,,,,,,,,thi s would be like
a death sentence to OUthunder.
Since he is my friend, I guess this is a bad idea.
Just ban Baja for 3 minutes and all will be right with the thread.

[BajaOklahoma]

Just ban Baja for 3 minutes and all will be right with the thread.

I am sorry. But do I get credit for trying to give the 1250 to JWTK, since he really had it and then "lost it" with the server issue? He can have the 1350 too, since I wasn't really intending to try for it..... sigh... I hate it when I mess things up.
