"OUCH!"

There's not much else to say, after last night's ass-whuppin' the
Minnesota Vikings got from the
Arizona Cardinals. I had a feeling the
Vikes were gonna be in trouble, right from the beginning, when the cameras focused on
Brett Favre's face a couple of times and I saw his eyes. Somehow, he just didn't look like he was into his surroundings....
And, in spite of the
Vikings taking an early lead, on a turnover, for the next three hours, the team just never seemed like their hearts were in the right place. I guess I can take some solace in knowing that very few teams ever win 'em all and... even though two are still undefeated this season, I don't expect them to wind up without a loss, either. We'll see.
But now, the
Vikings had better get their act together. They play the 9 & 3
Bengals next week and, even though the game is up in the Dome, they shouldn't expect a cakewalk.

Kick Ass

Rules for Kickin' Ass
Dear Citizens,
'We know that the current state of affairs in our great nation has many civilians up in arms and excited to join the military.
For those of you who can't join, you can still lend a hand. Here are a few
of the areas where your assistance could be helpful:
1. The next time you see any adults talking (or wearing a hat) during the playing of the
National Anthem - kick their ass.
2. When you witness, firsthand, someone burning the
American Flag in protest - kick their ass.
3. Regardless of the rank they held while they served, pay the highest amount of respect to all veterans. If you see anyone doing otherwise, quietly pull them aside and explain how these veterans fought for the very freedom they bask in every second. Enlighten them on the many sacrifices these veterans made to make this Nation great. Then hold them down while a disabled veteran kicks their ass.
4. If you were never in the military, DO NOT pretend that you were. Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDUs) or Jungle Fatigues, telling others that you used to be 'Special Forces'. Collecting GI Joe memorabilia, might have been okay when you were seven years old, now, it will only make you look stupid and get your ass kicked.
5. Next time you come across an
Air Force member, do not ask them, "Do
you fly a jet?" Not everyone in the
Air Force is a pilot. Such ignorance deserves an ass-kicking (children are exempt).
6. If you witness someone calling the
U.S. Coast Guard 'non-military', inform them of their mistake - and kick their ass.
7. Next time
Old Glory (the U.S. flag) prances by during a parade, get on your damn feet and pay homage to her by placing your hand over your heart. Do not hand salute, if you are not active military or a veteran. The hand salute is reserved for those who serve or served. Quietly thank the military member or veteran lucky enough to be carrying her - of course, failure to do either of those could earn you a severe ass-kicking.
8. Quietly thank the family members of military personnel or veterans.These people have sacrificed their holidays, and family life so that their husbands/ wives/fathers/mothers could help protect and defend your country and its people. Harassment of those family members could earn you a severe ass-kicking.
9. 'Your mama wears combat boots' never made sense to me - stop saying it!
If she did, she would most likely be a vet and therefore would kick your ass!
10.
Bin Laden and the
Taliban are not
Communists, so stop saying 'Let's go kill those
Commies!' And stop asking us where he is! Crystal balls are not standard issue in the military. That reminds me - if you see anyone calling those damn psychic phone numbers, let me know, so I can go kick their ass!
11.
'Flyboy' (*Air Force*), 'Jarhead' (*Marines*), 'Grunt' (*Army*), 'Squid' (*Navy*), 'Puddle Jumpers' (*Coast Guard*), etc., are terms of endearment we use to describe each other. Unless you are a service member or vet, you have not earned the right to use them. Using them could get your ass kicked.
12. Last, but not least, whether or not you become a member of the military, support our troops and their families. Every Thanksgiving and religious holiday that you enjoy with family and friends, please remember that there are literally thousands of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen far from home wishing they could be with their families. Thank
God for our military and the sacrifices they make every day. Without them, our country get it's ass kicked.
- 'It's the
Veteran, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the
press.
- ''It's the
Veteran, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.'
- 'It's the
Military who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and
whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.'
I passed this along to you, because I didn't want to get my ass kicked.
WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!
and don't forget
ALL GAVE SOME but
SOME GAVE ALL....
(I thought it was particularly important to share this message, in light of today being the anniversary of the
Japanese sneak attack on
Pearl Harbor. December 7th, 1941.)
