This is it. I am turning everything off. Computer, television, radio..

[TomInTib]

We are officially (as procalimed by TominTib) The Most Chickenshit Society in the History of Planet Earth.

And I am just sick of us.

Duck and cover. Quiver and quake and wet your pants.

I am taking my beautiful dog out for the day and I am not coming back until it is too dark to see where I am walking.

[Kutjara]

1. A fine plan Tom.

You are a voice of sanity in a mad world. Enjoy the walk.

[VolcanoJen]

2. The Reds and the Cardinals are on ESPN right now.

Middle of a pennant race, it's exciting stuff.

That's what I'm watching.

[Zomby Woof]

6. Good idea

I jinxed Da Bums when I mentioned their 11 game winning streak.

I loathe the Cards, so you won't hear me give you any crap today.

[VolcanoJen]

13. Arroyo almost hit a slammer.

All the way to the warning track, but instead he stranded three runners. Good thing he's the pitcher.

F'n Cards are up 3-0 in the fifth. Arroyo's hair is in cornrows today. I'm beginning to worry about his sanity.

[Zomby Woof]

16. 5-0

Bartender, may I fix you a drink?

[VolcanoJen]

17. 5-1!!!!

And I'll take a margarita, double shot, rocks, no salt, please.

[MrCoffee]

7. Go 'Stros!

Just thought I'd throw that out there. we're only 6 games back!

[Xenotime]

3. I have some Clinton stuff on tape if you want to watch that...

Just trying to help ease the pain.

[niyad]

4. enjoy the beautiful day, tom, with your dog, and see only beauty. we all

need that kind of break!!

I am going to have lunch with a friend shortly, play in my garden, and then I am going to a Department of Peace meeting tonight.

[KyndCulture]

5. I got my deadwood dvd.

[Coyote_Bandit]

8. I'd go with you but

the forecast high for the afternoon is 107 degrees - and the heat index is already above that.

I'm thinking a siesta is a good idea....

I too am tired of all the cowardly chickenshit Amerikans.

[demigoddess]

9. when i get sick of these idiots i go out and dig in the garden or redo

a room in my house. Gosh, but things are looking good around here!! Speaking of which....

[helderheid]

10. I'm going to go to the gym and listen to my book on tape.

[kstewart33]

11. Give it a week until everything calms down.

For now, it's hysteria time, and the TV cable news channels love it.

[elehhhhna]

12. STAY AWAY FROM LIQUIDS and Godspeed.

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. Why do you hate America?

Enjoy your afternoon with your fur friend!

[sinkingfeeling]

15. Couldn't agree more. When do we change the lyrics to the Star

Spangled Banner? "O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!" should be removed.
