Morning.

Guy I worked with had to have his tonsils removed last year. They started bleeding, and wouldn't stop. Pretty nasty.

Don't worry though, you will be singing in top form soon enough. It took him about six weeks to be fully recovered (to where his voice didn't sound like he had been smoking cigars to much).

Back to the thread. Any news out of Syria? The scuttlebutt was that they had an attack planed for last night (their time).

"Hezbollah said it was a Khaibar-1 rocket, which Israel claims is Iranian-made."


Good Morning Peach.

I am a major klutz.

It's weird how that works, isn't it? For example, I can sing pretty well, but I couldn't draw a circle if my life depended on it!

Ooooh, that's music to my ears. Hopefully it's true.

LOLOLPrime Minister Ehud Olmert said "tasty fishes" were among those seized

ROFL! What a marvelous turn of phrase! I hope the Israelis enjoy those fish with lemon and paprika.

LOL. And what are un-normal civilians... or is that all normal civilians are potential terrorists? I'd bet on the latter.

Here are some that are easily amused:

HIZBULLAH ROCKETS HITS SAMARIA
14:23 Aug 02, '06 / 8 Av 5766

(IsraelNN.com) For the first time, Hizbullah rockets have hit as far south as Samaria. Residents of the Samarian city of Jenin reported hearing rocket impacts and seeing a column of smoke.

The rocket hit is the furthest south since a rocket hit near the city of Afula a week and a half ago.

The Arab residents of Jenin expressed joy at seeing rockets fall near them.

“Even if they would fall on our head it wouldn’t ruin our joy,” said a local Arab. “We are all praying here for Hizbullah’s victory.”

And I love to draw, but can't sing a lick. Cats and dogs howl when I try.

I wish that could be arranged the next time the Hezzies shoot one their way. Then we'd see if his bravado held up.

Idiots.

"Witnesses in Baalbek said they saw dozens of IAF helicopters hovering over the city."

It could be that the stories of the commandos being surrounded in the hospital was an Israeli misinformation, intended to draw out Hezbos racing to join the fray and then get wiped out by these helos...
