New verse:

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Ecurbh, you are BAD, BAD!!
Those would be great with a honey barbecue sauce, too. Just like the Colonel's Boneless Wings!!
You're right!!
Stop funkling now!

Thanks again. I told my family what you have done for me and they would like to say "Thanks" for helping the troops. Your actions and those of all who support the troops makes it all worthwhile.

I recieved the knife a couple of weeks ago and I just wanted to express my surprise and gratitude. I've never owned such a nice blade before and I've already shown it to all my friends because I'm so proud of it.
Anyways I really appreciate what you guys are doing. Its no small gesture and that says a great deal. It's always nice to hear thank you for what we do, but when someone goes above and beyond any accepted form of thanks as you guys have done, it makes me feel both proud as well as connected. Because it seems like you guys really understand us and our needs.
I dont know any of your backgrounds but I'm sure most if not all of you have served in the military because it usually takes one to know one. Anyways now that I've rambled incoherantly for so long, I'm just gonna say thanks!

But I didn't funkle! I stopped just before doing so! ;o)
mmmmmmmm.... A-10s on station tonite... death from above...
G'nad, you have the most interesting experiences ...!
I've watched sunrise from a mountain I've climbed in the winter, 18' of snow, sub zero temps...
a few months later I was watching the same sun rise in a red desert sky...
I've seen the sun rise red over a deep blue ocean from the deck of a troop ship...
I've seen the best, and the worst in the hearts of men...
I been so scared I thought I'd pissed myself...
I've wept with pride for my flag...
s'been a helluva ride...
They do that, I guess. Why are they doing it now?
Up before the Newfies this morning...wondering what's next.
All the troops are in the bag right now...
All ranges are cold...
Clouds masking the stars...
drinkin' coffee, waitin fer 0600 tuh get here...
I like the folks I meet in this here Hole!
muh pleasure ma'am...
I think they did something to the track surface that made it more abrasive or something. One poor guy got only 19 laps out of a new set of tires.
Fabulous picture, and thanks for the emails winmag!
Lots of folks up pondering and poetic in the night last night in the hobbit hole
~sip~
Warthogs, gotta luv 'em. Had a project on a NAS on the east coast some years back. The A-10s would fly over the beach each evening, do a big bank and fly on in. Went out there when we stayed over a couple weekends and shot trap with some of the pilots.
Mornin'.
I've been most productive this weekend.
After getting back from Becky's riding lesson yesterday, I cleaned the house, top to bottom. Swept and mopped floors. Even helped my mom with a bath.
So far this morning I've made coffee, sorted the laundry and detailed my car. Kids are the worst! I found melted chocolate bars in bags, enough wrappers to wallpaper the interior of the vehicle and a piece almost every brand of cereal on the market.
*laughing*
Worst of all, I have ~yet~ to get all of the pine needles from last year's Christmas tree out of my carpet. That stuff sticks to fiber like paste!
Alyson's dad should be dropping her off here any minute, so I'll be off to the races again. Laundry and baths and preparing for school & work tomorrow.
I was so exhausted last night that I literally passed out cold the moment I hit the pillow. And I snored like a beast, according to my mom.
