I'm smilin'. After reading your reply...I'm thinking about Mel Gibson's character portrayal of William Wallace talking up His troops...."And many years from now, dying in your beds, what would you give to have one chance, ONE CHANCE to tell these *&^$%#@ that they can take your life....but they can never take your FREEDOMMMMMM!"

Then he hollars some kinda barbarian blood hunger thing that sounds like, "Kablankkk!!!".

I don't know what "Kablankkk!!!" means, but I have fantasies of standing out in my back yard, in my underwear and face camo, on a night with a full moon, screaming it at the top of my lungs while I split open a coconut with my wood choppin' axe. The only thing stopping me would be those pesky neighbors calling the cops.

Can't trust nobody anymore. :(

Can't wait to get that book! :) I'd be proud to be called an "ol' Geezer" then according to your definition.
