Move quick the lakes are really, really, really full!


LOL! So I've heard.

Thanks Wild Boor White. I keep making the same weather mistake. I'm glad
you are there persistently to remind me of the correct spelling. You might
as well be on an island. Your place is sticking out like a hangnail from
the mainland.


We just might end up as an island if y'all down there don't stop causing
global warming...with melting icecap & rising seas.

How can you claim to be interested in military events when, as a
former Lt
Colonel in the US Army, you disrespect your current Commander in
Chief?

That post was about as stupid as a post could get.

Now I'm not saying you're stupid, Donnie, but....

Are you claiming that you haven't disrespected Obama here......??
Donny boy. Weather or not you realize it, you are disrespecting Obama
by not refering to him as President Obama. But hey. what can you
expect from an out islander.


Out islander??
I've never lived on an island in my life.
BTW it's whether...not weather.



I doubt floridajim knows the difference between those two words. But he
is a close friend of Eisboch, and served his country doing really
important stuff in the navy during the war we lost to vietnam.



What the hell does this post have to do with Eisboch? You are really
screwed up, WAFA...

You asked a question and also came up with the correct answer. I don't
think it will be long before his wife has him committed.

Nope. Before that....

Didn't the steel used in the new ship sorta have a similar experience
already?

Have you figured out why Gene would make such a wish for a ship?

His statement was a bit obtuse, but the ships he mentioned were all
damaged at Pearl Harbor, but were repaired and went on to fight in
WWII. *Perhaps he's just hoping this ship will go on to fight in the
war on terror?

Hopefully.

I believe it already has.

Did I miss something? What's it done?


Poorly worded on my part. The steel it was made from came back from
an attack and lives to fight back, which is the opportunity the
mentioned ships received.

If that's not it, maybe Gene will clarify.


Most probably that's what he meant. At least I hope so.


I'd bet most of the steel post-war went into building Toyotas.
