My Dad, a WW2 Navy Veteran, used to tell me stories about The Island of Yap.

I was one of the few pre-teens in the 60’s who could find it on a map!

Gosh, I MISS my Dad!

"Ripley's Believe It or Not", a comic strip popular in the 50's, ran a strip about Yap back in the day. Taught me almost everything I know about Yap! I saw later newspaper or magazine article or two, once in a great while, but it was mostly rehashed info ... after all, not much ever changes on Yap.

Except they just had that big hurricane. There was a thrad about it here on FR -- the same hurricane that landed on Mindanao and Palau.

From existing photos/vids, Yapese women have the right to choose - whether or not to go topless. A matter of individual choice.

Anyway, Jabba the Waddler is a typical liberal nutcake. Wonder what he thinks about guns /s.
