Hmmmm.... you just got me to thinking.....

very difficult for exemptions, even for some still *in* school, but

So, again, I am wondering .....

What kind of civilian job was so important and critical to the

that an exception would be made for a person with a Liberal Arts

which the ink had barely dried?

One for which you would never qualify by education, training, or
ability.

Afraid to answer the questions truthfully, so he answers the questions
with lame insults, That's our boy Harry.

WAFA probably didn't make it past the physical.

The pile on starts.

And you folks are adults?

This NG is not not about boats..........but it is certainly
entertaining! ;-)

Have you looked at Chuckie's Place lately? Of course you have. You are the
stars of that circus.

Get help. You are one sick dude.
Why? Because I am talking to you two idiots?

In hindsight and reflection, I realize the post (above) of mine was in poor
taste.

People's military service, lack of, or alternate service is a personal
matter and none of my business.

I regret making that post.

Do you think Harry regrets making comments about the stupidity demonstrated
by allowing oneself to get drafted?

You asked a fair question in response to unfair name-calling. I got
drafted. I sure didn't, and don't, consider myself stupid because I did.

The "pile" is as imaginary as Harry's lobster boat. I don't see the
three stooges unless someone replies to them.

I don't have the same luxury at Chuck's place but I do get to laugh at
mega-narcissistic™ crap like this:


I've been contacted...
....by the NBC-Wall Street Journal pollsters in the upcoming
election. About 15 minutes of political questions, and I was told I
probably would be contacted directly by reporters covering the political
beat.

Apparently my answers fell outside of the norm for someone with my
demographics: older, more educated, higher income, more liberal, rural
(hehehe...I am, too).

Great fun, and a fun interviewer lady.


WAFA at his best!

Possible candidate for VP too?

It wouldn't surprise me. WAFA is capable of anything.

I think he's capable of more than you......
