    A little birdie named Anna and Shooter told me my account had been unlocked back when I was trying to say goodbye to Muad. Of course, it didn't actually happen until after he passed. Thought I'd test the theory tonight. Stuck in West Palm Beach the night before thanksgiving with a bellyfull of whiskey, and not flying (if at all) until late PM tomorrow. I was in St Louis two nights ago, six miles away from the riots but I have absolutely nothing exciting to relate about that- I watched it on TV like everyone else, and heard some sirens in the distance when I shut it all down to go to bed.

    Been lurking on and off for the past two years. Nothing ever changes here, and the more I read the more I just want to stay away. But I do still write...

    No major life changes. Still flying, still married (and doing better on that front than in many years past), with one in college and the other starting college next fall. For anyone wondering why I left, Tamar wasn't lying. I was bored and done with the place, and make no mistake- I pretty much still am.

    I still hate liberals and love scotch. SCOTCH! Get in mah belly!

    Fuck you hosers- even the ones I love tolerate. An Muad, rest easy, brother. You earned it. :marso:


    EDIT: aww! You kept mah smiley!

    I don't think we've met, but if you hate liberals and love F-14's you're okay by me. :)

    I don't actually hate liberals, btw. It's kind of like hating Special Olympians with anger issues and delusions of competence.

    You came back on a holiday to tell us you hate us?

    Now that we've concluded the airing of grievances, it's time for the feats of strength!

    @Marso it's nice to hear from you after all these years. One question has been dwelling on my mind though.


    Why did we never date?

    There are no strippers in STL. It's Missouri, you must remember. Ya gotta go across the river to Illinois for the strip clubs.

    Nice to see Marso is still alive!

    I had no idea. Presumed only the real deep south would be full of fundamentalists that ban some of lifes great pleasures such as lap dancing

    Since teh fucking whiskey was brought up, I finally bought a bottle of Gentleman Jack today. I'm not a big drinker (although the current ship has made me drink considerably more than I did even in Japan :brood:), but I saw a gift set at Target for 22 bucks with a pair of rocks glasses. I'll be well out the Navybefore I finish it. Next to Jameson, it's one of my fave whiskeys that I can drink by itself. :techman:

    Missed you, bro. Even if you don't stick around, good to know that you're still kicking.

    Loved your BSG and Buck Rogers prose.

    My housemate has a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle (which is like liquid unobtainium) that his girlfriend gave him. Unfortunately she didn't tell him exactly what Pappy Van Winkle was, and he just figured it was some off-brand as is common here. Over the phone he mentioned that the whisky he'd been drinking all week while watching football was really smooth, and she replied with something like "OMG!!! You're drinking it?!!!! Do you know how much that stuff is worth?!!!" There were about two fingers of it left in the bottle.
