jraf 0 #252 October 22, 2002 Come you poor lost soul to the land of Bierdom. Try for once a beer not made by SAB. Crafted with pride and joy. Where the brewmaster tastes EVERY batch before it is released. America - the land of small and tiny breweries resurected. Is there a proper American beer? Hundreds at least. This is America - the land of diversity. If you chose you may eat at McDonalds and drink Budweiser. Most tourists do. However you have the choice of eating the best prepared and most diverse food in the world and splash it down with an amazing variety of beers. This is what this country is all about - choice and cultural diversity.jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scratch 0 #264 October 23, 2002 Hello Dave. I think it was decided yesterday that Texans are not really Americans. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #265 October 23, 2002 Yeah, since we won our independence from Mexico a while back, Texan is a nationality. Did you know: Texas is the only state in the Union that can legally quit the United States? This is due to the fact that we were a nation before we became a state. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

I have heard all about it but never the rules and need to avoid a funneling when I come to the Dal I am ready to meet my Maker.

Scratch 0 #275 October 23, 2002 Why on earth do you want to avoid the funnel?The rules of WOP are simple.......you learn them as you goActually it is easy. A minimum of five people stand in a circle and kick a soccer ball around. The ball may bounce once and may only be played once. If you make a mistake you take a letter, starting with W. Once you get to WOP you step out and remember if you were first out or second or third etc etc. When everybody is out the first person places himself up against the hanger door as a target. The second places the ball, kicks it as hard as he/she can and tries to hit said target. If you score you get to stand down. If you miss you join the line by the hanger door. It is a lot of fun and takes a certain amount of insanity.BTW Were you at nationals this year? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
