[Vision2020] A "Peace" of Grass---featuring a GI in Iraq

Thu Jun 1 10:29:06 PDT 2006

Tom, J,

The response below by Cowboy Dick is a stupendous, mind-boggling, miraculous 
feat.  After putting his foot into his mouth by badmouthing and insulting a 
soldier (Tom Hansen) after he (Cowboy Dick) viciously condemned several 
other posters for being traitors for allegedly badmouthing and insulting 
soldiers, he has now by some superhuman power, managed to push the foot so 
far in that it dangles unattractively, slime-covered out of the termination 
of his alimentary canal.  And to think that such an astounding feat (no pun 
intended) happened right before our eyes here on Vision 2020!

Will the other foot soon follow?
