We know, we were confused at first as well (we spelled his name without one in the blogspot domain).<BR/><BR/>As far as his career goes, last we heard, Rickey was still the first base coach for the Mets. The Newark Bears stint ended a little while ago.Rickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05773465359487671887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-48113220719196771892008-01-09T01:43:00.000-05:002008-01-09T01:43:00.000-05:00Those dam vermonters, always ruining everything......Those dam vermonters, always ruining everything...Alex Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667814468439663202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-44825058774446976072008-01-09T01:04:00.000-05:002008-01-09T01:04:00.000-05:00If you keep calling me a monkey, I'm only going to...If you keep calling me a monkey, I'm only going to click on that link every other day from now on.<BR/><BR/>I mean it.robkroesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14731849693307953813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-25560728559427797472008-01-09T00:45:00.000-05:002008-01-09T00:45:00.000-05:00oh and by the way, im pretty sure the real rickey ...oh and by the way, im pretty sure the real rickey spelled his name without an "e," am i right? plus he spoke about himself in the third person a whole lot more than you do, so you might want to employ that a bit more to keep up the shtick.<BR/><BR/>did you know ricky was born on christmas day?<BR/><BR/>does anybody know if ricky still plays for the newark bears?M.C.

Also, along with a few bald peaks of the Smokies, the only place you'll find treeline east of the Mississippi is in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Also, no seat belt law. Also, along with Arizona, the last two states to ratify MLK day as a holiday. Also, the highest wind speed ever recorded on land by a human being was taken at the peak of Mt. Washington, 231 mph.M.C.

But in all fairness, Rickey, being neither a tax despising right winger nor accountant, really doesn't care all that much about the NH tax code.<BR/><BR/>Chris: Rickey stands proudly behind his broad sweeping generalization of the political makeup of NH voters. Also, it would be profoundly unwise to mistake anything said on this site for legitimate political discourse.

We don't have to pick a side here to vote. :)<BR/><BR/>As for the live free or die part, the nannyism has moved in here as well. It is funny though, all the moonbats that elected all the Dems here are pissed now that the government is starting to tell them what to do with their lives. <BR/><BR/>The Old Man dropped in 2003 by the way. Someone farted and the whole thing came down. <BR/><BR/>Figured I'd take the convo from smart and serious to juvenile humor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-66293977583107930972008-01-08T11:22:00.000-05:002008-01-08T11:22:00.000-05:00No mention of the lack of income tax and state sal...No mention of the lack of income tax and state sales tax?michael o.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16343423687974819915noreply@blogger.com
