GOOOD MORNING UJD

[911DAWG]

Another Friday in the system of Shelter In Place and I figure for old white guys like me it will be five more months of confinement. I did a few things when I was younger that might have resulted in jail time if caught and convicted BUT I never thought it would be a result of a Chinese virus.. GATA Fellow DAWGS and stay safe.. 65

 

[EufaulaDawg]

HAGO

 

[oldmandawg]

[redclayhound]

Good morning UJD, 911, and all you truly good yet deplorable Dawgs (you know who you are and who you ain’t)………It’s Friday……Where has the week gone? Dodging tornadoes, bad weather, and high water for the most part…….Pray for those impacted by this past week’s inclementness…….When around others, continue social distancing……and Go Dawgs!!.......

UGA SPORTS:

I’m gonna mention a Dawg great in the UGA football spotlight section this morning, just to make sure at least something Dawg is mentioned today in this “DAWGChat” forum………Today’s DGD in the spotlight is former Dawg kicker Alan Leavitt…………

Georgia has had three of its great kickers over the years to earn All-American honors…….The first one was Alan Leavitt, from Nrooksville, FLA……..Alan was UGA’s placekicker from 1973 thru 1976 (a 4-year time period)…….I’ve been told several times that Alan was the first placekicker to receive a scholarship to UGA as a true freshman straight out of high school…….I believe that to be true…..

Alan’s 4 year UGA career stats are 209 points scored, with 28 FGs made and 125 extra points thru the uprights…….Leavitt was the first kicker to reach 200 career points at UGA, and only the third player in UGA history to reach 200 points (the other two being UGA All-Americans Bob McWhorter and Charlie Truppi………..Leavitt broke a 30 year drought that saw no UGA player score 200 points since Charlie Trippi did it upon graduation in 1946……

Here’s a stat I like even better……..Before Alan Leavitt arrived on the UGA campus, only one successful FG of 50 yards or more had been kicked by a UGA player in the 84 year history (at that time) of Georgia football (Durward Penington, 52 yards vs Kentucky in 1961)…….Alan Leavitt kicked six 50+ yard FGs in his career……Only one Georgia player has kicked more 50+ yarders than Leavitt, that being the great Kevin Butler with eight……….

Alan Leavitt is likely most remembered for his kick against Georgia Tech in the final regular season game of 1976……….Tied 10-10 with 9 seconds remaining, and needing a win to remain in contention for the national championship, Leavitt hit a 33-yard field goal in drizzly, dreary, foggy weather to win the game……..It was almost like a walk-off home run, but even better because it was vs Georgia Tech………Alan Leavitt, UGA’s first All-American Kicker, a DGD………..

TODAY’S @$$HOLE OF THE DAY:

Oh how easy it is to pick the AOTD Award again today…….Triple D, this one’s for you…….No need to review other candidates for AOTD…….Ole Hook Nose Barbra Streisand is it today, hands down no need to count the votes…Streisand, a prolific Twitter user, bashes President Trump on a routine basis…..

I’ve read the jingle, “When the devil wants a slut for a one night stand, he calls Barbra Streisand”…….After all, she was allegedly a star in a porn movie (an accusation by many that she denies, BUT admits she bought a copy of the alledged porn movie to see if that was her….D,JD…..think about that for a moment…..That right there proves she ain’t too bright)……But she can’t deny showcasing her @$$ and boobs in her non-XXX rated movies a bit later in her career…..She’s a hypocrite….

Barbra Streisand could have been born a bloodhound with that big nose…..But she was born to be a Hollywood liberal leader (not many things one needs to avoid more)……..She is America’s female version of Michael Moore, less a couple of hundred pounds or so (may just 100 pounds or so as of late)…….She hates Republicans with a passion, especially President Donald Trump……She is extremely outspoken against President Trump……She aimed her latest album expressing her hatred of him……..A big Hillary Clinton supporter in the 2016 election, she Slammed Trump Repeatedly at every stop on her Concert Tour……She slams Trump repeatedly every opportunity she gets…..She says Trump is too Dangerous to Keep in Power, that he has escaped accountability once again during the impeachment hearings, that Trump is a one-man weapon of mass destruction, that Trump could completely destroy the country if given another four years in office, that Trump has dragged our Country down into the mud, that Trump has demolished our standing in the world with his laughable and breathtaking ignorance……..Barbra Streisand is a leader of the Hollywood idiots 4sure…….

Congratulations Barbra, you are one of the very few females that will win this AOTD Award, but set your sagging posterior down on the throne, because my gift to you on your 78th Birthday is a well deserved @$$Hole of the Day Crown (although you could be the AOTD every day—wouldn’t it be nice to have a Mr and a Miss AOTD—you and Michael Moore would be shoo-ins)…….oh, and BTW, KMA Barbra Streisand, today and everyday……Oh, and kiss Triple D’s @$$ too……..

As always my good Dawg friends, I hope y’all have a Great Bulldawg Day…..Stay Safe…..help MAGA…….and God Bless…….

 

[ibdawg78]

Good morning all you Hunker Down Hounds. Hope e’erybody has a great Bulldawg day.

 

[ibdawg78]

Extra strong effort today, RCH.

Alan Leavitt will always be one of my all-time Dawg favorites. Money in the bank.

Great choice for AHOTD - it’s a good thing Babs had a decent voice because the rest of her is pure liberal shart.

TODAY’S @$$HOLE OF THE DAY:

Oh how easy it is to pick the AOTD Award again today…….Triple D, this one’s for you…….No need to review other candidates for AOTD…….Ole Hook Nose Barbra Streisand is it today, hands down no need to count the votes…Streisand, a prolific Twitter user, bashes President Trump on a routine basis…..

I’ve read the jingle, “When the devil wants a slut for a one night stand, he calls Barbra Streisand”…….After all, she was allegedly a star in a porn movie (an accusation by many that she denies, BUT admits she bought a copy of the alledged porn movie to see if that was her….D,JD…..think about that for a moment…..That right there proves she ain’t too bright)……But she can’t deny showcasing her @$$ and boobs in her non-XXX rated movies a bit later in her career…..She’s a hypocrite….

Barbra Streisand could have been born a bloodhound with that big nose…..But she was born to be a Hollywood liberal leader (not many things one needs to avoid more)……..She is America’s female version of Michael Moore, less a couple of hundred pounds or so (may just 100 pounds or so as of late)…….She hates Republicans with a passion, especially President Donald Trump……She is extremely outspoken against President Trump……She aimed her latest album expressing her hatred of him……..A big Hillary Clinton supporter in the 2016 election, she Slammed Trump Repeatedly at every stop on her Concert Tour……She slams Trump repeatedly every opportunity she gets…..She says Trump is too Dangerous to Keep in Power, that he has escaped accountability once again during the impeachment hearings, that Trump is a one-man weapon of mass destruction, that Trump could completely destroy the country if given another four years in office, that Trump has dragged our Country down into the mud, that Trump has demolished our standing in the world with his laughable and breathtaking ignorance……..Barbra Streisand is a leader of the Hollywood idiots 4sure…….

Congratulations Barbra, you are one of the very few females that will win this AOTD Award, but set your sagging posterior down on the throne, because my gift to you on your 78th Birthday is a well deserved @$$Hole of the Day Crown (although you could be the AOTD every day—wouldn’t it be nice to have a Mr and a Miss AOTD—you and Michael Moore would be shoo-ins)…….oh, and BTW, KMA Barbra Streisand, today and everyday……Oh, and kiss Triple D’s @$$ too……..

As always my good Dawg friends, I hope y’all have a Great Bulldawg Day…..Stay Safe…..help MAGA…….and God Bless…….

Sir Winston who said the infamous word, "NEVER".WE went to his gravesite last Summer at a small church near Oxford.. RIP Winnie! 65

Morning, UJD. Thank you, rch, for a great Friday read.

Thing that stood out to me was 122 years ago Spain declared war on the USA. You serious, Clark?

122 years ago the King of Spain's wife asked, "You declared war on who?"

Times have certainly changed.

Hey brother. Trump tweeted about helping out the USPS. Wonder if he's going to end the free rides for Amazon and China?
In 2006, Congress passed a law to require the USPS to prefund 75 years worth of retiree health benefits in the span of ten years—a cost of approximately $110 billion. Although the money is intended to be set aside for future Post Office retirees, the funds are instead being diverted to help pay down the national debt.

No other private enterprise or federal agency is required to prefund retiree health benefits on a comparable timetable. The mandate is responsible for all of USPS’s financial losses since 2013.

So imagine that your business had to prefund all of the retirements your company was projected to have for the next 75 years. Your unborn children have their retirement paid for already.

Can you name another private company that does that? And yes, USPS is a private company but with congressional oversight and rule making on how their money is spent, but they get any tax dollars and haven’t since the early 80s. Can any business survive like that?

So they’ve tried to figure out how to be profitable, but congress won’t allow it. Let's see if Trump has a plan.
