OK OK let the truth be known.......
Toms hand was specially designed for playing shuffleboad and that 12 year old kid was really a handicap midget who couldnt see over the edge of the table....

I thought shuffleboard was for grayhaired, old folks who live in retirement communities in Zepherhills, Fla.

Savage, don't take too much personal here. The company is great. It's lke a barfight with a friend...you kick each others ass for no reason and shake hands when you're done.

Grace, how many Vietnamese were killed or seriously maimed because of hidden booby traps that were left there by NVA and VC?

Default They were gettin killed

By unmarked mines left by the French since 1952 also, no need in us taking all the blame or congratulations depending on your frame of thought. The area around Cu Chi, the Hobos', Bo Lois', Trapezoids and Renegades were some of the most heavily booby trapped areas in VN.

GOOD RESPONSE PHO127 - ONE OF THE THING I WAS TAUGHT IN VIETNAM WAS SETTING "MECHANICAL AMBUSHES" IT WAS VERY EFFECTIVE FOR BEATIN' CHARLIE AT HIS ON GAME. THE BEST PART WE DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THERE UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING TO CLEAN UP THE MESS. SO YOU WERE A WOLFHOUND WHAT WAS THAT LIKE?

Had to throw the shuffleboard thing at you. Based on the age forum, I wouldn't expect any of you to be pushing a walker around the choir table. It's not too popular here. Darts, pool. The last time I'd seen a table was in the fire dept. We restored one in 2002 that hadn't seen action since 1969 when the guy closed the bar doors.

BTW, it's an eerie feeling to walk into a bar where the setup was the way it was left in 1969. Tables still set up, barback still as was, and the coolers still stocked with beer and calander set in June 1969. Looked like the guy said "OK guys, finish your beers, we're closin' for good."
