  1. PJ Welihans is a local sports bar chain. Great food and plentiful beverages
  2. They did a clinic in West Chester to show the difference between performance and practice volume, featuring the opener. Greatest thing I have ever seen, and will never forget when they opened up, the concrete started flaking.
  3. For me, Aleve works better than Ibuprofen for the arthritic type stuff Also see if you can get a TENS unit. It is a small and portable muscle stimulator, similar to the big ones you get at PT. It feels great on the bus rides and car rides home afterwards
  4. I want to complain about the number 7. I think it is time to adjust for inflation, and officially change it to 9 number 9...number 9...number 9...number 9...number 9...number 9...number 9...number 9...number 9...
  5. I'd like to complain about above person not using spell check. That last sentence is just butchered.
  6. I just hope they put enough Cowbell Parts into the arrangements. You can never have enough Cowbell.
  7. Sent to Me by Joel of the Yankee Rebels. Thought this was an appropriate place to post The Story of the Unknown Soldier Armistice Day was observed all over the United States by veteran's parades, public services both religious and secular, with two minutes of silence to honor the dead. In 1920, the British Unknown Soldier was buried in Westminster Abbey, the burial place of kings and queens; that same year a French Unknown Soldier was interred at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, where a perpetual flame burns. In 1921, the American Unknown Soldier, symbolizing all the unknown dead, was chosen in an unusual way. Six soldiers of the American Army of Occupation in Germany were selected from different sectors to act as pallbearers. They met at Chalons-sur-Marne, and were interviewed by General Rogers. Next day, Sergeant Edward F. Younger of the 59th Infantry was asked to make a choice among four caskets, with unidentified bodies disinterred from American cemeteries at Bony, Belleau Wood, Romagne, and Thiaucourt. When the sergeant was ready to perform his solemn duty, he received a bouquet of white roses, with instructions to proceed into the City Hall at Chalons, where the four caskets stood. Sergeant Younger realized fully the grave importance of his action; and after bowing his head, he walked around the coffins three times. On the fourth round, he seemed involuntarily drawn to the second one. Reverently, he laid the roses on it, saluted and reported to his commanding officer that he had accomplished his mission. The body of the Unknown Soldier was brought home on the cruiser, Olympia, reaching Washington, D.C., on November 9, 1921. For three days thousands of people passed by as the body lay in state in the rotunda of the Capitol. For this important Armistice Day in 1921, President Harding requested that flags be flown from sunrise to sunset at half mast, and that all Americans pay silent tribute as the casket was lowered into the tomb at 11 A.M. on November 11, 1921. There were elaborate ceremonies. High army, navy, and other service personnel, along with diplomats, who had followed the caisson to Arlington, heard the President's address. Many wreaths came from all over our country, and from abroad, these were placed on the plain white marble tomb, on which is these words: Here rests in honored glory An American Soldier Known but to God
  8. When I marched Crossmen in Early 80's, we had practice every Friday Night, and camp one weekend a month. We still had about 2/3 of corp showing up every Friday, most people were fairly local.

  14. I saw the 80 line at a clinic. They were playing for a while, talking about playing backfield, dynamics etc. Then they said they had been playing at practice level. They next did the beginning of Georgia on my Mind at full volume. You could feel the sound in your chest, you could feel it on your face. It was incredible, I have never heard anything like it since. After that I was hooked
