is standing on the edge of a cliff. It terrifies me. NOT heights, per se.. I'm ok with heights as long as I'm not on the edge of a cliff. So I'd have to say that my one endeavor that you could say was 'seeking danger' took place not that long ago.... just before my heart attack... which ended the danger seeking, was mountain climbing... the kind with ropes and pitons and dangling in a hammoby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Is that I never worked in New Guinea where my curiosity and adventurous lust would have taken me outside the compound your nephew wisely stayed inside. :laughing I have NO need to seek 'danger'... that's no part of me... but my curiosity about certain things and my adventurous side I cannot overcome even if danger is a factor. The wilds of New Guinea would have been too big of a temptation fby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Love Stafford but come on.... 100yds? Not even fisherman are bold enough to brag that big. :laughingby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I most certainly do... but I think it's more than that, a lot more. Not sure that it was 'just' attacking our ILB’s and our soft middle pass D. Seems to me they were able to attack anywhere they wanted with success. And it was FAR from just their O... their D did their share if not more. But as I said above, and RAMbler added... Ram's are a better team... they just have to believe it...by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
but at the time I didn't pay attention to it being Wulingyuan. Something similar just happened to me last night. I was watching an old Kurosawa film, "The Hidden Fortress", and as usual I researched the movie, (various sources)... and I discovered that this movie was in large part an inspiration for "Star Wars".... most notably the C3PO and R2D2 characters. Love stuby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
the Niners in general... is mental. Shanny ain't better than McVay... but he may very well be in McVay's head. Same for the team.. Niners are NOT better than the Rams... but I think they ARE in the Ram's heads AND 100% confident when facing the Rams. That's gotta change... the NFC championship was the very BEST step to take in that direction... but ya gotta follow-up. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
If not... they have wallpaper screensaver photos from around the world. One of them is Wulingyuan National Park in China. Before I saw Wulingyuan on Apple TV I had never heard of the place... and it's so amazingly different that it looks like something not of this world. What I'm getting at is: With places like that in the world... and there are many... it's not at ALL hard to believe thatby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
My son and daughter-in-law both work for an education agency that in turn works for the military... so for the most part they are among American citizens the vast majority of the time. They live off base... but shopping, going to movies, schools, getting gas, all done on the base. For the most part that is. And their closest friends.... who also work in the education field... aren't froby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Seems apparent to me the drop off from #1 to #2 is drastic indeed... I think we all agree on that? Just not sure the Ram's will see the loss of a non-QB on the final 53 as worth keeping 2 sub-#2's.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Debatably the greatest victory, not counting SB wins, in Ram's history... for me, actually, it WAS the greatest game in Ram's history. BUT... and it's one big BUT... As far as the current rivalry it did little, IMHO, to overcome the dominance SF AND JG had and may very well STILL have over the Rams... at least as far as success against SF in the coming season. We escaped that game by the skiby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

He loves the Coeur D'alene area in Idaho which also, as you know, includes the far eastern state of Washington. When he was researching the area I helped, a little, and mostly because it's one of the areas in the USA I knew almost nothing about.... it's gorgeous!!!! Green, LOTS of wateby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Also Ishi, whom we discussed on this board before... last of the Yahi tribe. His story is very well documented... all over YouTube and well worth checking out if you haven't.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
truly 'unknown' tribes. And yes... very possible some headhunters and cannibals still exist there. Probably the most famous of the un-contacted tribes are the Sentinlese, living on North Sentinel Island. They will still kill you if you try to come onto the island. But back to New Guinea... they know a few of these tribes exist and yet know nothing about them at all.... a bit unlike tby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
My Mom was Mormon.... and as you may know genealogy is very important to Latter Day Saints. She worked hard on ours, but knew little, (nothing), about computers so it was all hand-written. Some years ago I took on the task of adding her info to a genealogy application I purchased. Came to about 800 people... both my Dad and Mom's side. The earliest ancestor she found, (she passed away whileby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
When I was in the Army there were several army camps in and around Stuttgart. I assume the main base is still open, it must be if they have a football team. I had several friends stationed there, I was in Heidelberg, and used to visit quite often but for the life of me I can't recall the camp names. My base, Heidelberg, closed down several years ago.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
among the Niner fans friends I know.. and as you know that's no small number living in Niner country like I do... I don't know a single one of them unconvinced that Lance should take the helm. They are NOT happy with JG... haven't been for some time now.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
a QB controversy in SF that is... and I think it more than a little likely... I'm going to ice down a case of Guiness, stock up on chips and guacamole, get my comfy lawn chair and take up a seat somewhere among all my Niner fan friends and kick back to enjoy the show. Seen it before.... Niner fans in a QB Controversy, and I highly recommend it if you get the opportunity. In fact... on a scby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
My grandson Nico's team in England. Lakenheath is a USAF base in England. Every team they play this year, starting Sept 2nd, is in Germany...

been watching the NASA feed all night... this morning I checked this board for the first time since yesterday... I should have known Seattle would be on it. :laughingby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
nobody, schoolmates - parents - coaches - even teachers, knows Elijah as "Elijah"... the know him as "Moose". Not sure how he got that nickname but he got it a long time ago. In the video above you'll hear him announced as "Elijah" but that's because it's an away game and the announcer doesn't know him... in Kerman - at home games the announcer will announce,by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
This is my youngest grandson, Elijah #8. He's on the Jr. team which, I think, are 11 and 12yr olds? He's got one more year of youth football until he's a freshman in HS. Had a great game but admittedly we had a weak opponent... so congrats to the coaches for pulling nearly all the starters early in the 3rd Qtr with us up 28 - 0. Only scored once after pulling the starters so a lot of kidsby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
most of you who post about this are pretty sure of your opinions... Pro Perkins or Pro Wolf.... and both list pros and cons that I agree with.. Perkins I think does have a better ability to extend plays - while granting that I think people have forgotten that Wolf ain't that bad at it either. Wold probably has the better arm.

And those I have seen are mostly bands known for their music and well as their vocals and not individual vocalists.

would have to come to the game to get to 10k. :laughing Not sure what the big teams in Fresno pull in attendance but I very much doubt it's anywhere near 10k. I doubt any of those HS's in Calif that vie for the national championship every year reach 10k per game. Very different than Texas. Waterfield might know... some big HS's down in his area.

When I was younger I could sing pretty well... nothing great, by any means, but I could carry a tune. Now older I've lost that ability... I can still carry a tune but my range is probably 60% of what it once was. And I've never had a really 'pleasing' singing voice... I could fake it, still can to some extent, but for the most part I prefer staying off the mic. :laughingby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
As I posted... somehow we got some of the top teams in the valley on our schedule this year. That's never happened before. Score could get ugly... BUT... that could help us, "maybe"... because... They use a rating system here now that's total BS BUT... we'll get points simply because of our schedule, even in a loss.

Not a huge heavy rock/metal fan like you... but I "DO" love it... and I've heard you say this :laughing - I think a case can be made that your era of music was the last great era in music.

Central Ca. has a 'Player of the Week' award every week... entirely a popularity contest BUT... they do post the players stats so you can vote on them. Both O and D... And what completely astounds me are the stats... off the charts phenomenal. For example: Last week a QB from a HS near here had 7TD passes and I think he threw for something like 475yds. Every week it's the same... some HS sby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
