I'm literally a pain in the neck, confirming what people have long suspected. :)

I'm usually referred to a pain in a lower part of the anatomy.

I'm still reading "Sons of the Reich - The 2nd SS Panzer Korps". It's been slow reading, because I just don't seem to have the time much any more.

Been a long time since I read Churchills Second World War.

Morning Sparta. My sentiments exactly. I think they should put flyers up all over Iraq with pictures of the bodies.

I first read Churchill in junior high but didn't get much out of it since I didn't have the necessary knowledge base to comprehend what he was really saying. Now, it's fascinating.

You should see the stack of stuff I have waiting for me to read. I got $90 worth of gift cards at B&N for my birthday and I now have eight books that are stacked up by my living room chair. Incentive!

*Grinning nod*
Ah huh.
I'm told they do make an odd buzzing sound when they come out.
I've never seen one myself, but the pics are awesome.

*winces*

Whole pot, roughly equive to about three cups.
*Ouch*

No-one chased you around cursing my name afterwards, right?
I like the stuff that strong, but sometimes people mistake it for a previously brewed pot of joe, and take a swig.
Then their eyes light up and I hear a string of profanity directed upon my name. So I often have to make sure everyone knows I have made the coffee.

I read Churchill in High School. I have a backlog of books from the Military book club to catch up on.

I have an extra copy of "Sons of the Reich" if you're interested. I was gonna donate it to the library but I can send it to you if you're interested in having a copy.

Sometimes if I move stuff just right I can actually see a desk under there.

And Snippy has pictures to prove it. LOL.

I'll send you some links to online material about military history that you won't even have to shut off your machine to use :)

Oh, please do Colonel, that would much appreciated.

Glad to hear everything is progressing on the homefront. :)
