Incredible, my favorite part of the olympics so far, and I’m no fan of figure skating

That’s about the only way I’d watch curling.

Have you ever heard the term, “pucker factor?”

That would be the definition of a WWII sailor, watching “Jaws.”

Or me, on the top of a 793 storey tower. Ever seen that YouTube of the guy climbing the TV tower? Pucker factor.....

Igor and I went to see “Jaws” when it first came out, and it was the ONLY movie I ever saw him visibly affected by. He never had a ship shot out from under him, but he was on several ships that picked up survivors and saw the carnage before during and after. I want to tell you, those sailors worked fast to bring in the people.

I don’t do towers. Heights of more than one flight of stairs cause some pretty strong emotions in me...I stay away from windows and the stairway is my friend!

Whoever came up with that “shark repellant” they used in WWII should have been shot. It didn’t repel sharks, but it taught them where they could go to find a good meal.

Never met Igor, but he sounds like a wise man. I’ve been told the South Pacific back then was nothing like the musical.

Almost exactly what they taught us in the Navy’s boot camp:

“You will see a shark repellant cartridge with the rest of your lifeboat gear. The first thing you’ll want to do is remove it from it’s lanyard -cut it off if you have to- and throw that thing as far away from you and any other of your shipmates as you possibly can.”

Hey, sweetie, Happy Valentine’s Day to you too!

Your graphic is even funnier when you realize Zero can’t read.

You’re right!
Happy Valentine’s to you!

Don’t forget, Jim’s FReepin’ the Marxist right about now when he lands in Fresno on AF1.

Hope to get several photos and the FReep report posted directly afterward on the new FReepathon thread.

I’m still transferring Igor’s personal history into a readable form, though he has been gone since 2000. When I finish it (three chapters) if you are interested, I will send it to you. His recall of detail still amazes me.

It seems he wrote it all within a six week period when we lived in Tucson in 1986. It is only now being transferred (page by page) into a readable form that one doesn’t get tired holding or reading.
