That is, it tells a really good story. It's worth seeing, when ever you can, because it's worth seeing again, when you want to share it.
Good morning, everyone. DP pushed Bill into the pool. Bill had his iPod in his pants pocket. Like we have money to just throw away ...

Spent the day being arrogant, because I was in that kind of mood. Then I went drinking [a beverage] at the Terror Club with Cousins and some FS's. Mostly discussion of the [expletive] boat favoritism and politics. I won't bore you with details. Tomorrow, when I'm not [adjective], I'll get Garcia to look up how much leave I have. I'd like to take more than 10 days this time around. I'll find out. I think I have 20 days, according to my math, but I'll check to be sure. If I do, I'll take 15 instead of 10.
Heard that DUmmie from WV finally died. Good riddance, God rest his soul ... I'll offer him a Mass when I get back to a country where there are Christian churches. (Guam is predominately Catholic, due to being settled by Spaniards originally.) I'm pretty sure he was senile, like Ted Kennedy and Al Gore. Maybe they can finally elect someone new in West Virginia. Someone who hasn't been a Congressman for 40 blasted years. There really should be term limits for these people. I was watching Fox News ... he'd been at the same [expletive] position since 1952 or thereabouts. That's more years in government than the MELLON has been in service (commissioned 1968.) Ridiculous. Nobody should be allowed to be in government that long. I like the idea of 4 years, and 8 if the electorate really like whoever it is, same as the president. The same should go for the Supreme Court and, also, state and local legislators. County commissioners, state senators, governors, etc. When I get around to running for Congress, I'll be sure to introduce a bill. And I'll quit after a 4-year term, unlike elected officials that claim to be conservative say they will, but, actually, never do. I won't be a hypocrite, like Certain People.
I've decided - officially - that when I get out of the Coast Guard I'll go to law school and be one of those [adjective] defense attorneys, the kind that are arrogant towards everybody and only take cases they think are worth it. Like Harvey Dent. Or, more likely, the Licenciado from Captain Alatriste. Only I'll be an arrogant libertarian, and, also, I'm not actually Spanish - I only figure I was in a past life. It seems like the best explanation for some things. As Cousins said, "a troll on humanity in general." (and as he said afterwards, "another gin and tonic, please." Because the best attorneys are alcoholics, and, also, they smoke in public. They don't hide it like modern politicians that are all PC and don't smoke or drink or cuss. Everyone should take a lesson from General Patton.) That would be an excellent job. You should ask around FR and figure out which law schools are the best. I'm not going to Harvard, Yale, or Duke University, but any other school I'm open to consideration. You ought to know a few lawyer types, at least vaguely.
Then I can go into politics for real, just for the [expletive] of it. Like Mr. Thompson or Tom Selleck. Then the liberals can write garbage about me in the newspapers, and I can laugh at their pathetic sycophantism and make fun of them in public. I can be completely unelectable, like Ann Coulter, but have many fans. Sounds like fun. I'll run in Alaska or Oklahoma, where they vote for people like me. I can promise lower taxes and term limits, and gun rights, and free speech, and then everyone will absolutely hate me, except for real conservatives. And I'll openly support the military and policemen, and not support gangs, crime, or illegal immigrants, or drug smugglers. And, because I don't care what normal people think of me, and because I'll quit after 4 years, I'll actually do what I said I would do before I was elected. Like that sheriff from Arizona. And not like that [adjective] Zero, who is unfortunately my Commander In Chief (although I signed up because I would do whatever Mr. Bush, a sterling gentleman all around no matter what anyone else says, would tell me to do), or Senator Collins (RINO traitor), from whatever Yankee state she's from. Cowards.
Tomorrow I have duty. I plan to be in a bad mood.
LOL.
THX.
The only movies I’ve seen in theaters in the last 20+ years are the LOTR movies, seeing each one twice. Usually, I wait for the video and buy it, or put in on my Christmas list for someone to buy for me. They usually do!
But thanks for the review. I can’t imagine TS3 would be NOT good.
Blessings to the smokin’ drinkin’ two-fisted Law-chick. SHe’s got my vote already. Even if I have to move to Oklahoma.
Oklahoma is a fine state, and the climate is much more reasonable than Alaska’s - or Singapore’s. I think the tropical climate is getting on Anoreth’s nerves. At home, she would get up at night and turn the ac down to “shiver me timbers.”
The University of Oklahoma has a tolerable law school, and she could get a degree in Classics first ;-).
It’s typical of Anoreth that, in spite of the {edited} beverage, she can still use “pathetic sycophantism” in a compound-complex sentence ... but she can’t remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s name.
In addition to the usual raucous mayhem and snarky dialogue, it includes the line, "You would understand if you've ever irrigated on a Navy canal."
My parents’ parents were from Oklahoma . . . Enid, Stillwater, . . .
We lived in Norman for three years and Broken Arrow for 4. Tom, Elen, Sally, and Pat were born in Oklahoma.
Ahhhh.
I can still enjoy
OKLAHOMA! By Oscar Hammerstein & Richard Rogers.
I like that, myself.
When she starts seriously casting around for a law school, ping me.
The piece of advice I got that was worth the most was, go to law school where you plan to practice law (another good reason not to go to Hahvahd or Yale). Because the other lawyers and judges and so forth will be your classmates.
The problem with practicing criminal law is the class of people you wind up hanging out with. Of course, I was always a civil lawyer (very civil. :-p )
We need one of those here. In the complex. Just in case the neighbors get rowdy on their meds.
I figured you’d get it!
I brought it up from earlier in the thread, just because.
I said “Spork-weasel” in the living room, and Frank said, “Oooweeee!” and threw his arms around my neck and big my shoulder, and Ash got up, flopped over on my feed, and dribbled. Strange doings.
