I sure hope Harry and Hertvick don't come back here. The place was
nice and peaceful without their lies, childish name calling and third
grade insults.

They're already back. Can't you smell em? I just took a look over
at Chuck's place. Things are pretty dull over there right now. The
babies haven't been posting much over there lately. Chuck's rule
book must be quelling their enthusiasm. I think they feel this
place is more their element. Let's not make them feel welcome.

Uh uh! This place in in serious need of a good spring cleaning.
No one here seems capable of completing that task...as the majority
seem to be the polluters.




Florida Jim is ****ed at me because I wasn't stupid enough to get
drafted.


The criminal record maybe?

In those days, gays were being turned away and some were granted
conscientious objector status if they presented a convincing case.
Otherwise it was pretty difficult to escape the draft unless you
enlisted. Criminals were offered military service in lieu of sentences.
So where does that leave Harry?
Happy Memorial Day, by the way.




Where did that leave Harry?

Harry had a civilian job that exempted him from the draft.

As I said, I wasn't stupid enough to allow myself to get drafted.

But...you were.
