Ok, I'll give You that Billfish. But for some reason when I was younger I was more attracted to Mary Ann. Moxohol, I live in N.J. and didn't even know they legalized it. Goes to show how much I pay attention to news or government,  . I never used it or ever wanted to use it. , Moxohol, for some reason I could imagine You'd probably be even weirder and hilarious if You used it, . I had an Uncle who was a life long user. Growing up poor with not much food, I use to like to go to his house as a kid. When he smoked that stuff he would order all kinds of food. , I ate like a King. Canadians are less americentric then our american brethren. We tend to engage more with the world beyond our borders. After all, u guys got the nuclear triad which still does flyovers in canadian airspace, BTW. So, we like to keep tabs on what goes on in the US which might affect our own interests? Y'know, like leave us in a big pile of ash by ur various military generals who have pre-delegated authority to LAUNCH without presidential orders since 1959? People with ASD can't use pot. It does more harm than good. Phenytoin is more suitable. My canadian sense of humor is only "weird" by ur limited purview. U have only to look at Jim Carrey or "The Kids in the Hall" comedy troupe for base reference. Both canadian. |

I was using a more recent vintage from the early 90's in regards to "The Kids in the Hall" which makes SCTV of the 70's era tame by comparison. Jim Carrey is a bit off the deep end too. Michael ain't down with the surreal humor that we canucks have a penchant for. |

The generals haven't had the authority to launch without presidential authority for many years now....you can relax I worked directly with tactical nuclear weapons and it's not quite as simple to launch as many people think |

However, if DC turned to glass & the Continuity of Government was broken, then the general can't just sit there with his thumb up his ass waiting for authorization & authentication. He had to respond with a counterstrike where minutes count. The silver lining here is the Deputy Commander for NORAD has always been a canadian. That makes him our bitch not yours. |

I was a crew chief on F-4 Phantoms in England and one of my duties was to go and spend a couple of weeks on the alert pad when my aircraft was scheduled to be there We had tactical nuclear weapons uploaded and the weapon had to be 'enabled' on the ground before takeoff from the cockpit or there would be no nuclear detonation In the event that the pilot could not enable the weapon, there was a device known as an 'enabler' which the crew chief would hook up to the bomb and then the pilot would tell him the top secret codes that would enable the weapon The CC would then dial them into the device and when finished the weapon would be armed and the CC would close everything up and off they go The CCs had to be cleared by a 'human reliability clearance' because they would be alone and out of sight of the aircrews and therefore a sabotage risk Security was very tight and an unauthorized launch a remote possibility |

The OPSEC protocol is way different from command & control. U don't do diddly unless chain of command says otherwise. But C&C does make the pertinent authorizations. I'm pretty sure protocols were in place if the entire US eastern seaboard is taken out in one shot along with the prez & his cabinet. "Gee General Curtis LeMay? What do we do now? The Pentagon & White House are vaporized!" "Well, golly? We'll have to find the Secretary of Education & wait for his authorization before any retaliatory launch as I have sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution! Hand me that cigar...wil'ya bud?" |

Michael ain't down with the surreal humor that we canucks have a penchant for. I actually get your humour. I read Your posts and get a laugh everytime. You can be hilarious at times. I've said in the past that You're weird. It's not like it's the first time I said it and it's not a bad thing. You're pretty fun to have on here. I don't get into political stuff, watch news, or read news. I feel much happier this way. I do have great respect for guys like Bruce, Pierini, Billfish, etc... who served our country like my son does now. Because I can decide for myself what I want to pay attention to. The N.J. marijuana thing I wrote was a joke. |

The N.J. marijuana thing I wrote was a joke. U don't need to get my humor. U either like it or not. If u want to brand the type of humor like a tea flavour, then go ahead. If u want to label me for it, then that's a completely different topic. Piss on the topic not the person. In Canada, citizens are under no false pretenses what they're enlisting for: Peacekeeping & defending sovereignty. In America, citizenship is not even a requirement to enlist. Recruiters will entice with educational benefits & job billets but never about combat which is what militaries are all about. They'll gladly take on anyone & ship u off to the next war (remember McNamara's Morons?). In fact, it's written in all US resident alien registrations to be subject to military call-up as a pre-condition of residency. I say "screw that". Even Canada doesn't do that. |

Again I was joking with you so no need to get upset over nothing. Again I don't get into politics. I'm not going to entertain what said about the military. My son is a Marine and I'm proud of him. I'm Thankful for anyone that has served our military. Have a nice day. |

I told Mrs. Pierini Fitness that Mary Ann passed away then asked her who she liked better, her or Ginger. She said neither. Then she shared her favorite was Guligan. Go figure.

While I've liked a few comedians from 'America Lite' over the years, the true fact of the matter is that Canadian 'humor' has absolutely ZERO on good old New York City HUMOR.... *sorry if I hurt anyone's feeling (not)  |
