if I just change the first one the rest make even less sense than the rest of my posts

I don't think that's possible. Besides, we're used to it by now.

Vinnie and I are done it with it. Time to move on.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?! Heck no! This ain't over until WE say it's over!

You two handling it like adults is just not how it's done here.

I'm really hoping that was sarcasm or satire….

Ever seen the movie Animal House? John Belushi has a classic speech where he screams: "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!!!" The rest of the fraternity recognized the gaffe but didn't want to interrupt his psychotic rant, so they just listened as he rambled on.

Edited to get Belushi's quote correct. LOL He also said it wasn't over "until we say it's over".

How could @nammac forget this piece of cinematic history?

Please tell me someone made his head into a canoe.

He self canoed.

That I never forgot, and it fact use it in younger generations! That's why I'm so fond of mashed taters!

Conspiracies...
Conspiracies require cooperation and vast amounts of trust placed into untrustworthy folks.
Not saying that conspiracies don't exist or don't work...just that they are difficult to maintain.
That said....
Three may keep a secret if two are dead...So goes an old sayin'.

Also worth considering....
Crazy is just that ...crazy...and difficult to understand by those not afflicted by that particular crazy.
And since crazy is crazy...those folks often just do crazy sh!t.

A good read - Fiction - none the less.

More info about how gun shop refused to sell him a silencer and us army said he was unfit to have a weapon and feared he would commit a mass shooting.

US Army warned Maine suspect too 'erratic' to have gun

Alarm was sounded about Robert Card three months before he shot and killed 18 people in Lewiston.

22 people who were unarmed.

... in a GUN-FREE ZONE.

... in a GUN-FREE ZONE.

In Maine it is not illegal to carry a gun in a place that sells alcohol like bars, restaurants, bowling alley. It's only illegal if it is posted no guns allowed or if you are hammered.

So much failure in this case..
If only

Ben Franklin used it in his Poor Richard's Almanck....circa 1732 -1758
Which is where I stole that quote..

So let me get this straight. A person that has shown a CLEAR propensity to be unfit to get along in society. With episodes of DOCUMENTED anti-social behavior. Commiting criminal acts, (assault and battery). And sever episodes of mental instability. Is allowed to roam, totally free, out in public like any other person?

Seems to me this shines a pretty fugly light on OUR current leadership and system. What in hell has happened to this country?
Now, the people responsible for NOT doing anything about this nut job need to be booted from their position as "Public Servants". A big "F" tattooed on their foreheads would be a nice touch, but doubt that would happen.
