Not sure how many here were around when JFK was shot, so I'll aim more
recently. When the attempt was made on Reagen in March 1991, after
watching hours of Dan Rather news coverage, I went through the
drive-thru at Burger King and got Chicken sandwiches. When the first
shuttle exploded in 1986, I went to lunch at Pancho's that day. For
whatever reason, I was so stunned by 9/11 that I can't recall where I
ate that day (I bet many of you can though) but I distinctly remember
being in the drive-thru of McDonald's and hearing on my car radio the
KRLD news announcemnent on 12/9/01 when we had finally started invading
and bombing Afghanistan (which I wondered at the time why it had taken
us so long)..

I remember sitting at the bar at Rockfish on Macarthur in Irving
watching the first batches of shock and awe bombs falling. I can't
think of any other significant ones at the moment.

I was at a group gathering at Humperdink's up on 75 and Collins in
Richardson when the bombing of Afghanistan started coming down, and I
remember we were all a bit shocked by it.

I didn't go out all day on 9-11, so where I ate was at home. And I was in
the lunch room at work for Proxy Answering Services when the Morrow building
went up in OKC.

The other one that comes to mind was going to this new restaurant right
after seeing Star Wars for the first time, located on Meadow Road at
Greenville, called Chili's. (The ony location at the time)

I was working drive-thru at Cactus Jack's on Northwest Highway (next to
North Park Mall) the night John Lennon was killed. We were all stunned.

Went to Chicago for the Obama election night rally, stayed at the
Palmer House.

The next night went to Gene and Georgetti's and had an awesome steak
and bottle of wine to celebrate.

Excuse me, say what without a drop of proof

Read your own sig. I bet you believe that FDR cut a deal with the

What a ignorant statement and analogy; pure stupidity to equate FDR,
one of our greatest Presidents, with arguably our worst.

So far as lies, let's start with WMDs, yellow cake, Saddam's ties with
Al-Queda (mortal enemies, Shiite vs. Sunni if you had a whit of
understanding of what is going on).

And more proof: http://www.bushlies.net/liesatoz.html and www.bushwatch.com

I am afraid I am to blame for this diaper stain in the newsgroup - he's
one of my leashed internet mutts, who only came upon this newsgroup to
follow me. I am sure he's back to see if he can play the role of
shitstirrer once again. Since he doesn't actually live within 1600 miles
of DFW, you'd have to wonder what he could contribute to the group...
well, the same thing he contributes elsewhere. Nothing.

Treat him as you would any other disease - he's like Usenet herpes, he
flares up and makes everyone uncomfortable every once in a while, though
everyone prays he just goes away.

Boy, you sure do have an inflated ego, don't you; everything revolves
around little old you

I have posted to this newsgroup numerous times over the past six
months without mentioning you

I came into this newsgroup since I was coming to DFW for almost a
month to visit friends and wanted to find places to eat that people
recommended; please show me where I ever mentioned you

Also, please show me where I have been rude or insulting to anyone in
this newsgroup, like you are in this past and have been in other posts
to other people

>I am sure he's back to see if he can play the role of

Shitstirrer? I have commented on restaurant and food issues; nice
try, but your massive ego is showing and I am sure I am not the only
one laughing at you

I will let others people without an agenda decide what I do or don't,

Now if I came in here and became rude and insulting and using
disgusting language, then people should treat me in that manner

But if I came in here and became rude and insulting and using
disgusting language, then I would be you

After a decade of posting gibberish, can't Vagina let that bleeding
sore in his head scab over for just ONE weekend to show respect for
his betters? With his bloated ego, he probably think the flags are
all about him personally...Vagina's as big a moron as that Cujo
self-stroker. ALWAYS off-topic, ALWAYS an expert, ALWAYS a loon.

To where is he addressing these legions of imaginary fans cheering for
his spew? He must love the spankings more than the Coppertone girl.

You live half the country away, thundercunt. You came here to whine and
moan because you two DC twats crossposted into the Cardinals group and
wanted to bleat that my response came into the shitbox Cowboys group,
which you helped turn into a cesspool.

Here is what Venger posted in the Cowboys newsgroup after he said he
would never darken the group again:
--------------

That is your first post in this newsgroup. Ever. Of course, all about
me. In fact, you went to every newsgroup I participate in to post the
same cunty thing. Oh, and I never promised to "not darken the group",
clown. I said the place was a shithole, pointed to the two assholes who
did the shitting, and said it wasn't worth it anymore and left. And
haven't gone back. But I reserve the right to do so, though I doubt the
place is any better.

You did that on January 20th. Hmmmmmmm... I wonder why you would do
that? What else was on that day that would make you try and track me down?

> Also, please show me where I have been rude or insulting to anyone in

Your presence is insulting. Your name is insulting. Decency and
intellectualism is insulted with your every post. Good news though,
Israel may finally bomb an Iranian nuclear plant...

Your first post was your cuntzilla post above, and you then posted about
Obama, twice. Nothing about food. You aren't here for food. You are here
because the only human interaction you get in a day that doesn't involve
using your credit card is in Usenet, and since nobody is interested in
what you have to say otherwise, you pick fights. That's why your name is
what it is, because you desperately seek attention.

YOU DON'T LIVE IN DFW and have NOTHING to contribute. Even if you ran a
chain of restaurants in Dallas and lived here, you'd have nothing...
rather, you thrive on attention and conflict, because even negative
attention is better than your otherwise empty lonely existence.

Insulting and disgusting? Maybe you need to get that memory loss issue
looked at, you pederast, anyone who wants to see what kind of a sick
perverted twat you are need only look at your childmongering posts. I am
sure you are in a sex offender database somewhere.

> But if I came in here and became rude and insulting and using

You could never be me, my parents were married and walked upright. Now
go back and crap in the Cowboys newsgroup, you sick child molesting
transient fuck.

Says you and only you; meanwhile, someone else reacted negatively to

You are the one picking fights. You attacked me for no reason except
posting to the topic of where did you eat as a major news event
happened and I was completely on topic there.
