He told me that when I got my draft...Yeah, I know. He told me that when I got my draft notice. He was kind of apologizing for being, as a sole surviving son of a casualty, exempt. That's all I needed to know; I didn't for a moment resent his exemption, but I wasn't happy that he kept going and turned me into a puddle of tears.Conchobharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039296577310701987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342454496014200176.post-3738133326176901012011-05-01T16:20:40.453-04:002011-05-01T16:20:40.453-04:00@Okiepoli - Shave his "body-part, not always ...@Okiepoli - Shave his "body-part, not always 'belly' if you know what I mean" with a rusty razor, was always mine.

FINALL...Thanks for the link to Cracked.com, Eddie. FINALLY someone has the stones to reveal that FDR brought down the Hindenberg.<br /><br />I have, personally, (and I don't presume to think I'm alone in this) known that Russian forces had more to do with winning WWII than ours did. (They couldn't have done it without Lend-Lease, though.)I Have actually had to physically defend myself when pointing that out.<br /><br />That song is really moving. Those white crosses never fail get to me. I have a friend, born in 1942, whose father was killed on Omaha Beach. One of his earliest memories is writing a letter to Daddy in Heaven, asking him to come home and make Mommy stop crying.Conchobharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12615429492457158341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342454496014200176.post-50897173946418029272011-04-20T21:38:09.871-04:002011-04-20T21:38:09.871-04:00I have always been a big fan of the "Put a lo...I have always been a big fan of the "Put a lobster in his breeches" verse myself - a close second only to the "Put 'em in a rack 'wi the capt'n's daughter." (Rack is, of course, a bunk, and would probably end in a keel-hauling, or at least 'paying the devil.')<br /><br />Arr! Now I must talk like a pirate...<br /><br />okiepoliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
