@JeniNeatherlin Is this new facility going to have running water? Asking for the last place you were a superintendent for just a few days that still can't play a game in their new stadium because there is no water.

Instead of raises for Congress, may I suggest we give them all a one year subscription to the Jelly of the Month Club?

David Lee Roth turns 70 today.

Regardless of your politics, I hope we can all agree that anyone unable to name at least 5 Van Halen songs without using Google should not be allowed to vote in the upcoming election.

To be in the College Football Hall of Fame, a coach must have won at least 60% of his games. Mike Leach won 59.6%.

RT if you think Mike Leach should still be included in the College Football Hall of Fame

Nobody will remember:
- Your salary
- How “busy you were”
- How many hours you worked

People will remember:
- Michael Crabtree's 2008 game winner against Texas

“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”

#OTD we honor the Corps’ most decorated Marine's 126th birthday, Lt. Gen. Lewis B. “Chesty” Puller, the only Marine ever awarded 5 Navy Crosses, the nation's second-highest military honor.

During his 37-year career, Chesty served 27 of those years in foreign lands or at sea.
