Fascinating thread today, and very interesting stories to go with it.

The courageous acts of those destroyer sailors sure made the Marines' job easier.

HI CT.

Gotta be tough knowing you're considered "expendale" though.

None that show where the tire place is.
And since I navigate by waypoints and landmarks like you would in the forest, I'm hopeless on surface streets unless I know the area.
*chuckle*
Ugh.

The adventures of Frito, Spam, Goodgulf, Pepsi, Legolamb, Gimlet, Arrowroot, Tim Benzedrino?

Help me. Who were some of the others? I would dearly love to still possess my old copy.

I know what you mean. I know how to get to a lot of places but I cannot tell someone else how to get there. LOL.

Yes, this is true.
And every year vengeance upon turkey kind is sweet.

Oh geez. One of the hobbit lass' schoolmates died from the flu. We all have various degrees of it, but this stuff doesn't happen here.

First and only book I ever read from cover to cover with out putting down. I actually bought it a the Pentagon book store and read it going back down the Patomic River on my sailboat. (When I did my active duty tours in the Reserves I would always try to do it somewhere I could take my sailboat. I lived on board for about seven years and would take the boat place to place). All my many copies are gone except one. Everybody that "borrowed" one, never returned them. I thought I would die laughing reading that book.

I always think of Goodgulf using his ancient iron relic known in olden times as a Colt 45 to defend himself and of course Moxie and Pepsi, eating the curtains. Goddam losing the ring when Dildo was shooting at him and sinking his plastic seahorse. The Jolly Green Giant and the V8s and of course the roller skateing dragon. What a great book every one should read.

I know a guy who read the Lord of the Rings trilogy for the sole purpose of reading Bored of the Rings.

Well they followed it pretty close. What was your best part? Mine was when the Narcs caught Frito and he was rolling his eyes and begging them not to throw him in the briar patch. I start laughing as I write this.
