---and damn all the rest. If God wasn't an American He wouldn't have given us the world's greatest army. Feeling patriotic? Feel like kicking some foreign ass? Well tip a few back and post it here, we all want to know. Really.

What if they only want to rape you?

Ok, God bless anyone that doesn't want to rape or kill me.

Why would someone want to rape ME?

As for fold, I think he may be tantalized by the thought of being raped.

Not that I'm aware of. There's plent of people that wish I was dead, I just don't know if they'd want to kill me though.

THX hasn't found the medallion treasure, so he should be good for now.

If I did find it, I wouldn't be telling anyone.

I'd just quietly put it on my mantle.

It would be kind of cool for show and tell, wouldn't it?

Yeah it would.

Don't know who I could trust around it though.

I would do the same but it sure wouldn't be on my mantle. And I'm also sure you'd see it pop up on E-bay in about 5 years though. ;-)

Why would it pop up on e-bay?

You think you'd get more for it off of e-bay than from finding it for the hunt?

Jake told me they sold one of the old metal Medallions at auction a few years back. I think he said they got about $100 for it.

Good point. But I would hope that it's worth more because it was themissing medallion.

Although it might take a lot more than 5 years to get to that status I guess.

I'd pay $100.00 for one of the old actual coins. And I'm broke.

Guys, let's keep the Medallion stuff in the Medallion threads, 'k?

So Duane, can you be rational long enough to explain just what this thread is supposed to be about?

I saw this statement pasted on the back of some yuppie's new Harley-Davidson---"If you have to ask you wouldn't understand."

Read the topic header, dim-bulb--- or are you just another COM-CON that needs everything spelled out for them?

JIMMY

Jimmy leans against an old shed's battered wall

that creaks as he shifts his not-that-heavy body

There isn't much of substance here

Everything is worn and flimsy, thin and gaunt

Except for time itself, so solid in its grim changelessness

This place where jobs or hope are never found

and the obituary pages record unnaturally young deaths

Jimmy tips his bottle back

swallowing the slow poison the white man named after his people's sacrament:

Thunderbird

and wistfully watches something passing in the night sky

Probably a jetliner carrying suburban matrons to Vegas, just a hundred miles away

Nothing ever moves on the rez

Only tumbleweeds, and junker trucks that never run far

After all, where's a poor Indian in a 1983 Dodge gonna go?

It's not as if Opportunity awaits down the highway, calling:

"Come on! Come get your big, sweet piece of American pie!"

Jimmy slides down the wall, into the dust,

seeing the jetliner's lights disappear behind the mesa

No sense in getting up

No place to go

I tried to call Sitting Bull, Geronimo and Crazy Horse to invite them to my Thanksgiving feast. But their phones must be disconnected. I couldn't get through.

Hope is found from within.

Maybe he should stop drinking. No one but Jimmy is putting that bottle to his lips.

No, no, no. Jimmy is a victim, that's why he drinks. It's not his fault.

President Bush said it's now time for a change in Iraq and he wants them to
have a Western-style democracy like ours. So right now in Iraq, the economy
is collapsing, businessmen are corrupt, and Hussein wants his son to take
over as president. Sounds like mission accomplished." -Jay Leno

What was left unclear...is what will happen after Saddam is gone? Democracy
seems unlikely, so the hope is that Saddam will be replaced by a more
pliable leader, someone we can work with to keep the country under control,
maintain regional balance of power. Someone sympathetic, secular, someone
like, oh...1982 Saddam." --Jon Stewart

"Experts say that Iraq may have nuclear weapons. That's bad news - they may
have a nuclear bomb. Now the good news is that they have to drop it with a
camel."
David Letterman

"Bush said he wants a change so that the people of Iraq will be allowed to
choose their own leaders. Good luck, we can't even get the people of Florida
to choose their own leaders." - -Jay Leno

The United States have developed a new weapon that destroys people but it
leaves buildings standing. It's called the stock market." --Jay Leno

"Things do not look good. The economy's gone south, we're at war, people are
out of work. In fact, George Bush Sr. picked up the newspaper and thought,
'Hey, I must still be president.'" --Jay Leno

"The New York Times is reporting that President Bush now has a formal plan
for attacking Iraq. They say the key to this plan is timing. As soon as
Bush's popularity falls below 52 percent, then it goes into effect."
      --Jay Leno

"It's been reported that the FBI is visiting libraries nationwide and
checking the reading records of people it finds suspicious. When asked about
it, President Bush said 'I've always been suspicious of people who go to
libraries." Conan O'Brien

On Thanksgiving Day the Sci-Fi channel had an "X-Files" marathon. One episode was about a psychopathic dull-normal convict who was a multiple alien abductee. His name was Duane Barry.

Yeah, I think it was Rick that pointed that out at one time.
