I got this email from Renegade Chaplain today! I also have a stateside mailing address and phone number for him, if anyone is interested.

I was recently going through some paperwork and discovered your note that you sent me which accompanied the knife that was sent. I had set it aside to say "Thank You," but unfortunately misplaced your note until last week. I apologize for my long delay. Thank you for the wonderful gift of the knife. It sits proudly in my desk and I use it quite frequently. Obviously, every time I pull it out, I remember all of the great Americans of the Hobbit Hole and your overwhelming support while the Renegades were downrange.

I appreciate your support greatly as do the paratrooper that I serve with. Above all, I appreciate your prayers. Believe me, they inspired me and enabled me to "bring God to the soldiers and the soldiers to God." (mission of the Army Chaplain)

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13

God bless you,

CH (CPT) Renegade Chaplain Chaplain, 307th FSB 82d Airborne Division

Before I finished typing this message, one of the paratroopers whom I serve with told me to say "Hello!"

*tears in my eyes*

Just wonderful! Thanks for sharing that with us, winmag!

Hullo and good evening, Hobbit Hole!

[g'nad]

I dig a chaplain that's hard... ours actually emptied his M9 towards a bunch of r... er Iraqis...

[Darksheare]

Yup!
I like the ringeraiths dialog towards the end there..
*chuckle*

?Navratilova looks as if she might need a moustache waxing once in awhile.

great... now I've got one screwed up mental picture runnin' round inside muh hollow head... thanks a lot ds... payback is a medivac...

[JenB]

Oh, that thumbnail theatre thing was brilliant! Better than the Flying Moose page that I love.

[2Jedismom]

That just tickles me! I got a handwritten letter the other day from him! From what I understand, things have been pretty rough...he was the only chaplain around there for a while and I think he may still be. Having to do all the funerals...

Maybe he's getting a chance to catch his breath!

[Darksheare]

SORRY!
I know it doesn't make it any better ot say that I dated someone once who looked like MS Martina Navratilova(when she was younger) by horrible mistake once.

[Darksheare]

Yup, blame Fedora for posting the link to that page.
*chuckle*

[g'nad]

dude... what were yuh thinkin'?...

[Darksheare]

She had other.. attributes.
Other than that, I don't rightly remember.
Must be the permanent mind fog I was in at the time.

[2Jedismom]

Jedis and Steve are at cub scouts pack meeting...they won't be home till late! I'm enjoying some pork ribs and a salad!

[Fedora]

Thanks for sharing the great post from Renegade Chaplain!

[JenB]

Well, then, good evening, 2J!

My favorite part is the epilogue where Tolkien shows up :)

Bakshi: And then evil disappeared from Middle Earth and everybody lived happily ever after and stuff. The end.

Frodo: What?

Sam: Huh?

Sauron: I beg your pardon?

Strider: The h***?

Ringwraiths: Come. We will take you back to Mordor. I mean, what?

Legolas: What the...?

Gimli: By Boring's nose hairs, what?

Merry: Nani?

Eowyn: Hey, er, do I ever speak in this film?

J.R.R. Tolkien: In the name of Winkin, son of Blinkin and king of Nod, what the h*** are you doing?

Gandalf: Well, it's quite obvious. Evil was defeated simply because I AM THE MAN!

Tolkien: You can't defeat Sauron just by slaying a few orcs, you bloody old fool!

Gandalf: Well, in the original story Sauron was defeated just because he lost his favorite piece of jewelry. I figure this makes just about as much sense, plus it has more of ME!

Bakshi: And more rotoscoping!

Tolkien: ...I hate you both.


Tolkien: Bakshi, you suck. You couldn't make a decent fantasy flick if your life depended on it.

Bakshi: Hey, I'll have you know that "Fritz the Cat" grossed more than forty million worldwide!

Tolkien: Um... wrong kind of fantasy.

Warner Prez: Hmm, this Lord of the Rings thing sure is generating a lot of hype. Is there any way we can capitalize on it?

Warner Exec.: Well, there's the Bakshi film, but it's terribly bad...

Warner Pres.: No, this is perfect. When we release this film, the masses will no longer have any desire to see the live action Lord of the Rings movie. New Line will fall, and another major competitor shall be shattered!

Warner Exec.: Wait, that fighting technique! You're not the Warner President at all, you're...!!!

Bill Gates: Hmm hmm hmm. Yes... it took me some time to be able to take control of this body, but now I control one of the men who own the world's most underhanded merger. Soon all the world will belong to me, William H. Gates! Bwahahahahahaha!

Tolkien: Wait a minute, live-action movie? Who's defacing my legacy this time?

Peter Jackson: Hi, I'm Peter Jackson, also known as the "Dead Alive" guy.

Tolkien: All this spinning is making me dizzy.

[JenB]

At least you didn't eat the whole thing!

Well, I'm done with homework for tonight. Good thing, because I'm tired. Too tired to do anything important. I think I'll look at pictures of my probable future home, Fort Collins, Colorado. How far is that from Oklahoma/Texas?

I just polished off a fourth of a box of Girl Scout thin mint cookies.

Mmm--Thin Mints. . .Are they selling those now?
