Several topics that kept climbing back to the top of the list were concerning the hunting accident of Veep Chaney. #Varying points of view spewed forth, from who was to blame, Chaney or Whittington; was Chaney drunk; #pros and cons of hunting and gun safety; analogies drawn between Chaney’s hunting abilities and his duties as V.P.; the indignation of the national press for not being informed sooner; etc. #Everybody had a different opinion, none more outstanding then the others. #
I guess that the SuitSat topic should also get top billing, not because of its abject failure to provide any meaningful service to hams. #No, the popularity (or should I say hilarity) of this topic had to do with one kg4kww who insisted on keeping the rest of us posted #by skillfully and repeatedly returning his post to the top of the Ikonboard. #Although SuitSat failed almost immediately, that did not stop a few members from piling on poor kww. #I believe that the incident has now come to the attention of the US Attorney Generals office. #It is also rumored that Big Dick Chaney offered to settle the disputes but all parties turned him down. #The latest attempt by kww’s opponents is to get him to pilot the SuitSat during reentry to the earths atmosphere. # #You guys are cold.
Although it is old news, M3TMW reminds us to check up on Randy McCloy , the ham and sole survivor of the Sago mine accident. # Latest reports is that Randy is breathing on his own, had the trach tube removed and is learning to speak again, albeit slowly. # Thanks Merv for reminding us. #
Other topics in no particular order – except as they appear top down – Funny movies. #Glad to see that you all enjoy a little humor from the slapstick to the classic. #
Tom, K8ERV voted for GWTW (Gone With The Wind), a movie about the south during the civil war based upon the classic novel written by Martha Mitchell. #Tom, you see, is a damnyankee so I suppose he did think it was funny. #. #
The Natalie Holloway abduction story has surfaced again. #I doubt if we ever find out the truth. #
UFO’s? #Some believe, some don’t. #Some want to believe, some won’t. #Then there are those that believe but won’t admit it. #
WWII Ace Pappy Boyington‘s name came to prominence again as University of Washington students protested a memorial in his honor. # Most responders expressed their disgust, contempt (whatever) for the students although a few were more charitable in their remarks.
KG2B asked for input on unions and boy did he get it. #Some of which he was looking for and some of which I’m sure he would have just not received. #By the way I love that call sign. #Drop the ‘2’ and call CQ – betcha no one answers. #(CQ CQ CQ this is KGB calling CQ #http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
KC2ESD tells us that in three years our analog sets will be useless. #Thanks for the heads up Rick, I’ll start saving now.
Bryant Gumbel. #What an idiot. # My apologies for starting that thread. #
KA7RRA is looking for the Fountain of Youth. #Well Heck, it is right here in sunny Florida. #No really, it is North Americas First Historical Site located in St. Augustine.

There’s more, much more. #Feel free to critique your own topics. #(Uh Oh here it comes.)
