Evening Grace Folks~

Comcast is experiencing regional server failure. On and off loading and slower than whale dung rolling on the ocean floor. If you get this . . . wonderful read! If not talk to ya later.

PS The reason Hollywierd hasn't come up with a movie about Francisco is because they haven't figured out how to screw up a great story about a great American. IHMO [Go ahead, tell me I'm wrong] ;^)

With no insult whatever intended to the honor or the United States Army Air Force or the United States Air Force may I point out that the young men attacking Yamato and her escorts, with Yamato alone armed with "18.1-inch guns firing "Sanshikidan" beehive shells, twenty-four 127-mm. AA guns and one hundred fifty-two 25-mm AA guns" were Naval Aviators? Lads in single seat and three man single engine machines 250 miles over the ocean from their carriers? All eager, all willing, and all skillful.

Your daughter has talent. Notice she wastes no time on clockwise rotation. She will find "childproof caps" only a temporary obstacle. Heh, heh.

Maybe she will be the one.

So many projects need doing, don't have a clue myself. Satellite solar power, maybe. Power from quantum reality. Faster than light. Space tethers. Dreams of glory.

Sometimes my prose goes from florid to strange!

That attack on the IJN was pressed home with great bravery. A very dangerous job of work. Most affirmatively. (Swab for "that's for sure").

A have a special affection for Naval Aviators, both Marine and Navy.

I was wondering as I did not see any mention of the USAAF in the rundown :-)

"FRiends of Slick Willie"
(To be sung to the Grateful Dead's "Friend of the Devil")

We abhor Butch Reno...and we'll take Slick Willie down.
Honor 'tis to FReep fer Right till Big Guv'ment's not around.
Ya think I'm funnin' as I make my rhymes...
But friends of Slick Willie ain't no FRiends of mine!!
Leftist HO's defend Slick's Blight...
TREASON's why we FReep tonigh-ight!!

Cowed the Right from action...let's be Brave and DETHRONE Bill!!
Future's Sunny, but we'll first smite Slime...
No friend of Bill Clinton is a FRiend of mine!!
Leftists know Clinton's not Right...
Justice's why we FReep...tonigh-ight!!

I drove on up to DeeCee...brain-dead Lib'rals fought me there.
Took my hard-earned dollar bill but I vanquished their PUNK, Terry.
Think I'm funnin' but I know what's Right...
DemFriends of Bill Clinton shall be Doin' Time!!
I set goals...ain't 'fraid ta Fight...
Justice's why I FReep tonigh-ight!!!

Got two reasons why I stay awake each lonely night.
The first one's named Sweet Liberty and she's my heart's delight.
Second one is Justice, Willie, Ol' Mudboy's on yer tail!!
And when MUD catches up with you, you'll spend yer life in jail!!

Gotta wife and children, Slick, but yer thugs shan't cow me!!!
Broaddrick says Slick raped her, Tom, but Brokaw said, "BITE ME!!!"
Lib'rals' Love Him, but I think Slick's SLIME!!
No friend of Slick Willie shall be FRiends o' mine.
I set goals, ain't 'fraid ta fight...Justice's why MUD FReeps tonight!!!

(BigMan on guitar, Fireman John on mandolin...justa cookin'!!)

Got two reasons why I FReep away each doggone night.
The first one's named Sweet Liberty, my God, I know I'm Right!!
Second one is Justice, Terry, MUD knows yer Sordid Tale...
And when Truth catches up with you, you'll spend yer life in jail!!

Gotta wife and children, Bill, and you got Hillary...
Chelsea knows she's not yer child, Webb Hubbell's genes flow free.
Think I'm funnin' but Slick's arse is mine!!
No friend of Bill Clinton, boy, Justice Be Thine!!
Bill can roam...but Slick can't hide!!
Justice makes MUD FReep fer Righ-ight!!

So Sayeth the Word of...MUD (02/10/2002)

She will find "childproof caps" only a temporary obstacle. Heh, heh.

She's like her old man in this.

I realize the mischief I was and could have been capable of in my early years. I'm gonna have to keep a close eye on her. ;-)

Excellent Revolutionary War thread. One of many a great man one hears little about.
