  5. Mine 3rd turned 3 yesterday!

    I did hear about the big ass party. I really want some of those ribs KLAW! I will have to settle for being here with my own big ass!

  6. The girls need to send in pictures for the mugshots. Those avatar pics are too microscopic. 20-30 poses each (or together if you like) should be sufficient. Email them to me first for approval. I will forward the SFW ones on to Jon. DJ, you can send yours directly to Jon.

  7. Yeah, we have a PIGNIC every year. 39th annual this year. And it always rains. We got our light shower today, so it’s official.

  8. Jonco already has a pic of me but he hasn’t put it up yet! It is SFW though! Thanks for your offer though Scott, Bella and I would have to do some photoshopping to be in a pic together as we are on opposite sides of the globe. You choose the pic and we can arrange to sop our heads on to it!

  10. I already sent one to Jonco a couple of months ago, one to make infidel jealous, but I think he censored it.

  19. Bella and Bitsy, thanks for keeping those clowns in line. Your shirts are on me, I mean I will buy them for you.

  20. 69 comments heh I quess its time for me to comment,I want a B&P shirt signed by all the ladies,DJ tell me more about that pic,Jonco please send it too me

  21. B&B, I set it up with Jonco, he needs your sizes and color choice. This offer expires after the big ass party, so act quickly.

  23. You should see the damage, bronze. Huh? metal damage, brain damage. Heheheh. You listen bronze. I am the Nightrider. I’m a fuel injected suicide machine. I am the rocker, I am the roller, I am the out-of-controller! I’m the Nightrider, baby,

  24. infidel – Thank you for asking for more info…here’s the caption on it:

    Pearl Harbor survivor Houston James of Dallas embraced Marine Staff Sgt. Mark Graunke Jr. during a Veterans Day commemoration in Dallas yesterday. Graunke lost a hand, a leg, and an eye when he defused a bomb in Iraq last year.

    And here’s Sgt. Graunke’s story in his words:

    I joined the Marine Corps right after high school and after serving as a crypto tech, micro-miniature repairman, and Marine Security Guard, I made the decision to become an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician (EOD Tech). I wanted to do something that was going to challenge me both mentally and physically and that is just what I got.

    My unit was deployed in January of 2003. During the war, my primary responsibilities were to keep the routes open by making sure there were no explosive hazards on or near the roads. After the war was considered over, my job was to clear the area of as many explosive hazards as I could, both to ensure the safety of allied troops and to improve relations with the Iraqis.

    On July 2nd 2003, as I was working on a piece of unexploded ordnance, it detonated in my left hand. My only concern at that moment was the well-being of my wife and the safety of my fellow Marines. “2 Marines injured, 1 dead”, those were the last words I heard before getting medevac’d and losing consciousness. I was in a coma (partially drug induced) for about two weeks.

    I lost my left eye, left hand, thumb and index finger of my right hand, and eventually made the decision to have my right leg amputated above the knee.

    Currently, I am attending the University of North Texas in Denton and plan to graduate in 2010 or 2011, I’m not exactly sure at this time. More importantly though, I have a beautiful wife and a gorgeous little daughter. My wife and I were married on March 16, 2002 in the Philippines and my daughter was born on March 27, 2005.

    I strive for perfection in everything I do and I have no regrets for anything I have done. Life is full of ups and downs and it is how you deal with those situations that will define you as an individual.

    My civilian recognitions include JINSAs Grateful Nation Award in 2005. In addition to that, I made the Dean’s List and President’s List for exemplary scholastic aptitude at the University of North Texas five semesters in a row; was published in The National Dean’s List for 2005-2006; and I am a member in Beta Gamma Sigma, Phi Kappa Phi, and Golden Key International Honor Societies.

    My military decorations include the Purple Heart, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with a Combat “V”, Combat Action Ribbon, Presidential Unit Citation, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Sea Service Deployment, Overseas Service, and the Marine Security Guard Ribbon.
