translation......

TRANSLATION...... Frickin' TRANSLATION!!!!

is ALL English Lit!!!!


The KJ bible is a bit more than a "translation," as I am sure you well
know. But it is a translation. :)

"Interpretation" would be a better word.
It reminds me of Kenny Rogers' facelift.




I've read the NT in the KJ a couple of times as "literature," just as I
have read Homer's works. It's damned good writing.

The "translator/interpreters" did a terrific job.

I am drinking PBR these days. I have trouble finding regular Coors in

I used to always drink Bud but I just lost the taste for it and I
don't like the heavy beers.
I drink Busch if I can't find PBR or Coors.

I drink lots of water, and have been doing so for 22 years. Water's
not bad, but it's not a hot conversation topic. It doesn't get much of
a head, and is usually pretty clear.

You must have had some of that crap they had from the Phillipines in
SEA.

San Miguel I think it was called? Had to strain it before you drank
it to get the crunchy bits out? :)

Well, yes. Actually I'd drink about anything that had an alcohol
content. Luckily, I had an Engineer company with dump trucks and a
First Sergeant who was a wheeler-dealer, and a Post Exchange at Cu Chi
that was always needing laterite for its swampy parking lot. So we
always had free beer and enough steaks for a Friday cookout.

Times were good.

Ah yes - the military barter system.

Next time we get together, we'll have to swap stories about First
Shirts and swapping for beer, steaks and potatoes.

Our guy actually managed to get real country eggs flowen in for a
steak and egg breakfast one time. :)

Still don't know how he did that one.

I did one myself once - courtesy of my Dad who worked a deal with some
big cheese at Polaroid who had a son in my company. And we had a kid
whose Dad ran a seafood company out of Galveston, TX.

Oh the stories. :)

I could tell you about the combat-lossed immersion heater that got
swapped to the Air Force guys for my three-hour ride in an OV-10A
Bronco, but then I'd have to shoot you.

First Sergeants make the world go around. And Platoon Sergeants (your
Gunnies). They always kept me out of trouble.

The greatest words on earth were, "Lieutenant, don't worry about it,
I'll take care of it." And they always did, no matter what the
problem.

I could drink my share of Coors back in the day. Of course when I
quit, there wasn't a lot of choice unless it was a regional beer - the
home brew and "micro" brew industries were in their nascent stages
back then.

I still think back to Dixie though - the single most god awfull beer
ever brewed, but for some reason it went good with boiled crawdads and
shrimp - boiled in Zattaran's of course. It also tasted good cold out
in the Gulf fishing. :)

You never must have drunk Brew 102. Most likely worse than Dixie. The old
Falstaff brewery in San Francisco would put the partial fill cans in
dumpster out back. You would watch the wino's line up a bunch and open
them. Then proceed to drink a full beer's worth. Interesting what you saw
working nights.

How does that make you feel Donny. Your friends and neighbors went to war
for you and some didn't come back.

Went to war for me?? I don't recall asking anyone to do such a thing.

They were all real soldiers. Even those of us who never saw combat. We all
had the possibility of going there. Some just got a better gig. Now you
who worked at a crappy job you hated for 30 years or so, is an example of
**** poor choices.

Obviously, you've never heard of James Jones, who talked quite a bit about
war in From Here to Eternity and The Thin Red Line. Jones was a real
soldier.

You really are a short little ignorant ****.

Most all shooters say very little. My favorite uncle spent the whole war in
the South Pacific as a shooter. He said maybe 5 comments on the war in all
the years I knew him until he died. couple Bronze stars, Oak Leaf Clusters,
5 purple hearts.
