I read the book BABE RUTH: THE LEGEND COMES ALIVE by Robert W. Creamer back in the 70’s. There is a picture of him at 18 years old. What a monster! Not an ounce of fat, just muscle. He was not always fat and unathletic looking.
Gee, it's been years since I told the tale, so I'll take a crack at it...
Even though I had been online for years ( 1981, 300 baud modems... ) I was new to the Web, and belonged to a few other forums, mostly Right To Keep and Bear Arms boards, under the JohnR nic.
Started going through the registration process here, and ( insert stream of cusswords ) every screenname I could come up with was taken.
I had been welding brackets on my backhoe ( yep, I had one at the time ) all day, and in frustration, typed in "backhoe..."
Son of a Sea Cook, it went through!
In retrospect, I wish I had just used my proper name here, and elsewhere, but I seem to be stuck with being The Heavy Equipment Guy...
( And user of too many ellipsis... )
Years later as an Army Sergeant I went to a HS reunion and had pictures to show that my nickname had come true.
Thanks Cathy! How’s the weather in your way, still waiting for some of that global warming here in Connecticut.
Mine was beefbutt. No explanation necessary.

Today's FEEBLE
YOKE:
When everybody on earth was dead and waiting to enter Paradise, God appeared and said, "I want the men to make two lines. One line for the men who were true heads of their household, and the other line for the men who were dominated by their women. I want all the women to report to St. Peter."
Soon, the women were gone, and there were two lines of men.
The line of the men who were dominated by their wives was 100 miles long, and in the line of men who truly were heads of their household, there was only one man. God said, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves, I created you to be the head of your household! You have been disobedient and have not fulfilled your purpose! Of all of you, only one obeyed. Learn from him."
God turned to the one man, "How did you manage to be the only one in this line?"
The man replied, "My wife told me to stand here."
WELCOME TO
Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our AWESOME Military, our allies, and their families.

Thank you, fatima, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities. I was called a lot of "not-so-nice" things by my siblings and I won't share them here. I have a modified version of one my dad gave me years ago from a tv show we watched but I don't plan on sharing it here either. Only a few people refer to me with that nickname these days.
I am back home now. Got home about 11 last night. Let me tell you, the crazy weather seems to be following me. I get to Santa Fe on Saturday and it was windy, chilly, and at one point, hailing. It was just starting to warm back up when I left yesterday. Now I get home and it's going to be rainy, today and tomorrow. It does look like our temps have stablized some. Oh, well. I think I'll go shopping in a bit. Got some flower planting to do this weekend, which BTW looks like it'll be nice.
I know I have a lot of catching up to do and I hope to get caught up by tomorrow. Right now, I have to make my way through the Canteen to see whatz been happening.
But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!
And, for the rest of you ..
Now remember, the Canteen is
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
Good morning, Canteeners, Cubies, Newbies & Troops! The nickname here is “Funky” because I LOVE Motown music and because I play a pretty wicked bass guitar for a white boy. Hope you all have a great day today and are all enjoying the return of global warming. Also, I will follow Sheryl Crow’s rule on toilet paper use when she demonstrated that she can use one sheet of toilet paper to clean peanut butter out of a piece of shag carpeting.
Hmmm... seems like I thoroughly botched the job!!!
Just wait... I'll be back soon to complete the project!!! ;-))

Hey, Star!!
Doing finer than frog hair here!
How’s about you and yours?
I am the “Old Sarge” as that I was the oldest Marine Sgt. at MCAS Yuma,Az. I had reupped at the tender age of 35.
((HUGS))Good morning, Beach. How’s it going?
Morning, NRA!
