Billy Mays to St. Peter: "Hi! Billly Mays here!"

Are you blaming his behavior on his birthdate? Really?

Hahahahaha. True dat. My question is: When will these pinhead celebrities realize that you must respect prescription drugs? Anna Nicole, Heath Ledger, Danny Gans, likely MJ.

Yes! Fortunately, my SMP-wearing friend is named James. When your wife suggests you take up gambling so you don't blow through your money so fast.

+1 This is the most important point. I don't really disagree so much with most of what Demsey has said, just with its application. It may make us feel better to intervene or speak loudly about the situation in Iran, but our feelings are not important. What is important is the effect our actions would have in the real world. The surest way to undercut the protests in Iran would be for the West to overtly support them too much.

Agreed r3lic. When I enlisted, I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution, not "To protect and defend those not able to protect and defend themselves." That sounds more like the Lone Ranger...or maybe Batman.

Leaving things alone is not the same as isolationism. The point is: If your opponent (Ahmadinejad and Khamenei) is in the process of shooting himself in the foot, it's best not to do anything that would interrupt him.

That's because all of those crazy mythological statements about Chuck Norris are truly about Steve McQueen.

If you can, pay a visit to an AD (of course, don't wear a rep there) and try on the gen. That's exactly how I learned that I would not buy the huge Railmaster for myself.

r3lic is right. There's not too much for us to do here except condemn the violence and not be too heavy-handed. Nothing would screw up this situation and hand things to the pro-Ahmadinajads on a silver platter as badly as overt intervention by the west. If we were seen as trying to manipulate their internal politics, the hard-liners would immediately gain the upper hand. Iran still remembers how we overthrew their first democratically-elected leader in 1953 and gave them a quarter century of royal dictatorship and foreign-owned resource extraction. I compare this situation to a souffle'...best to just leave the oven closed and not make any loud noises. I'm glad Obama is smart enough to realize this also.

This one looks pretty good, but it sold a couple of days back. http://catalog.antiquorum.com/catalog.html...p;auctionid=215

The Community will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they first overpressurize with air, then put it in water to see if the air leaks out.

Roosevelt wanted to do more to help the British, but the Lindbergh isolationists wouldn't let him until we actually got bombed.

I just finished watching the Blancpain segment. This was an interesting program. The automatic tourbillon watch they featured was really cool. It really jumps in 1080HD.

Broads. Feh.

When you can't sleep because you just discovered that the UPO you've had for 3 months has a 6 o'clock marker that is 3 degrees off vertical.

I love how the Ocean 7 text suggests that you should wear that giant asymmetric hunk of steel with a tux. I think it goes with a wetsuit great; with a tux, not so much.

Ebay is good for Seikos. I've purchased from a dealer in Singapore named Pokemonyu. There are several guys on the bay who are heavy on Seikos.

Perhaps, but anyone who is a thief likely rejects (if even unconsciously) the existence of karma.

Just get a Seiko. http://www.caranfil.org/review_skx781_orange_monster.html http://watches.zsebehazy.com/skx009.htm

I like that a lot. Hamiltons rock. Isn't that the watch Felix Leiter wore in Quantum of Solace?

+1 There are many kinds of entry-level gens that can not be considered as a unit. I wouldn't even call Invictas gens. My 1 Invicta, and the Invictas that friends have had are all garbage. Seikos, on the other hand, have been nothing but good to me. As I've said before on this board, my Orange Monster can go for weeks without getting more than 30 seconds off. I love my reps, but if I'm going swimming, I'm wearing a Seiko diver and nothing else. Also, I want to put in a good work for Hamilton. I have a khaki chrono which has never disappointed. They can be had inexpensively online, and are really great values. In fact, a Jazzmaster is likely the next watch I get. Just get the right watch for the right situation.

I think that hornback looks pretty sweet.

It looks like it was designed by Pablo Picasso in about 1913.

What if we just requested reviews from the winners of the various raffles? Clearly we couldn't demand reviews, but it can't hurt to ask for it to be part of the deal.
