#4 At the end of article:
During a brief two-minute period provided for questions from the press, the first reporter asked if this meant the Space Station was also being shut down. To which the President answered, "we plan to either hold an auction on Ebay or give it away to "our international partners."

Folks, bid early and often.

Yup, why I remember driving the buckboard into town to pickup some feed and a couple of bolts of cloth for Ma to make herself a new dress....

#11 BG--Great! Tell you what--let's turn the ISS into a refueling station/diner like the one in "Spaceballs" and we'll gouge all the space tourists! You can have "Rick's Diner" and I'll call the fuel station/convenience store "Dar's Get 'n' Git"!

#12 If we form a Rantburg syndicate, we could buy one of these, equipment with a Zionist Death Rayâ¢ and have a few "crossfire" incidents of our own.

Who's with Me?

#13 How many still remember those things firsthand?

In early 2002 I got a trading stamp at a (it may have been the) grocery store on the island of Molokai. Wasn't green, it was gold.

My parents used to collect trading stamps. They were really into the coupons you used to get with Raleigh cigarettes, though. Saved enough for a new lung! But they gotta share it.

#14 jackal--I'm with ya! I could use the Zionist Death Rayâ¢ to nail ~~drive-~~ fly-offs too.

#15 I remember green stamps well. Mom would drive in to Montgomery to trade in her stamp books at the Green Stamp Store. It took a while to get there 'cause we lived so far back in the sticks even the Presbetyrians handled snakes.
