As to the conspiracy thing... I'm sure you're right, please put down the flamethrower and give me the knives before anyone gets hurt.

but guys who ride ~horses~ in kilts definately do ~not~ We're *all* thankful for that. Especially the horse.
To: Ramius
we love the cheap accommodations, cheap transportation, and low pay... besides... they're easy to mock...
had a young feller ask me about joinin' the service... wanted to know what I recommended... join the Marines to fight... otherwise, go in the Coast Guard, cuz they're doing their job every single day... not just trainin' endlessly...
To: HairOfTheDog
Perhaps I shouldn't ask... but how do you know?
Good evening...
To: JenB; Fedora

Perhaps I shouldn't ask... but how do you know? I wuz thinkin' it... wuzn't gonna ask...

Personally, I lean toward a larger and somewhat lighter and fluffier "Wheat thin" algorithm for Lembas.Hmmm, interesting. . .there is some evidence of a connection between Wheat Thins and elves, via Sandy Duncan as Peter Pan. . .
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Just common sense.... I know a little about chaffing... ;~D
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Good evening, Bear! Nice to see you about.

Dude... I'm not sure the meds are working. Perhaps surgery is in order??? :-)Good idea--I'll call my surgeon:
To: g'nad
Good advice.
I joined the Coast Guard mainly because I grew up around boats and had always looked up to those guys. The CGC Point Glass was the 82' patrol boat in my neck of the woods at the time... and they were always out doing cool stuff.
But you're right in that the CG has a day to day peacetime mission.
It's unfortunate that the fighting forces are too often viewed as a pain in the ass in peacetime. Right up until the country needs y'all to go kick some ass someplace. Then we get all appreciative again. I can't even express my anger at the Xlinton admin for chopping the heart out of DOD budgets in the 90s.
Some of us don't forget about it in between wars...
