As I recall cBS settled out of court. It makes one think that maybe they had something to hide.

Naaaw. Not CBS! The pillar of journalistic integrity? /grotesque sarcasm
Good choice. :-)
Hi Feather. :-)
2005 Montgomery Scott, Chief Engineer Enterprise aka James Montgomery Doohan
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) James Doohan, the beloved original "Star Trek" cast member who answered to "Beam me up, Scotty," died early Wednesday, July 20 at the age of 85. The veteran actor died from pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease at his Redmond, Wash., home with wife Wende by his side.

James Montgomery Doohan was born 1920, in Vancouver, British Columbia. At 19, he joined the Canadian army and was on the frontlines on D-Day. The war hero was shot several times, with one bullet blocked from hitting his chest by his silver cigarette case. Another bullet shredded his right middle finger, which was later amputated. The missing digit can occasionally be seen on screen, particularly on "Star Trek" episodes "The Trouble with Tribbles" and "Cats Paw."
Caution, listening to Dirt Weasel or the MSM Nightly News can be dangerous to your head.

Address To A Haggis
Poem lyrics of Address To A Haggis by Robert Burns.
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang's my arm.
The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o' need,
While thro' your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.
His knife see rustic Labour dight,
An' cut ye up wi' ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!
Then, horn for horn, they strech an' strive:
Deil tak the hindmost! on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve,
Are bent like drums;
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
'Bethankit!' hums.
Is there that owre his French ragout
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi' perfect sconner,
Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu' view
On sic a dinner?
Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither'd rash,
His spindle shank, a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit;
Thro' bluidy flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!
But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread.
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll make it whissle;
An' legs, an' arms, an' heads will sned,
Like taps o' thrissle.
Ye Pow'rs wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o 'fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if ye wish her gratefu' prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!
Hi miss Feather
I brought home a junior sized sailor hat for Spiderboy. They did not have any Bittygirl sized. She didn't mind. She kept swiping Spiderboy's. I've got to get some pictures.
I forgot to add, there were a number of active duty sailors about the Wisconson. I shook hands with and thanked as many as I could.
Copycats

Oh, I used to have a Sailor hat. I have pictures, too.
Intriguing revelation that top American commanders on the ground in Vietnam were seriously discussing the use of tactical nuclear weapons against the communists--I'd never read about that before. I learn something new everyday. Excellent thread.
Try to stay cool and safe, everybody! It's boiling hot in this part of the country, and from what I understand across a good part of the United States also. Be well.
General Westmoreland, R.I.P.

I'm so jealous!!
Things are going good (but really busy) here in the 911 Center, but I still like the job. It's the "shift work" that's hard to adjust to, after almost 10 years in the white collar world.
