Way way OT: Good things come in threes... I ruffle my feathers and walk off in a huff. You, on the other hand, have a peculiar habit of... well, you know the routine by now. Just how many "get out of jail free" cards do you have in that Chance deck anyway? <g> Let's hope you don't need to burn another one. Three is plenty. <G> About your mano y mano with SargeK? Whew, I was about to cast the both of you as Captain Ahab in my new film, Moby FGH, the White Whale. <G> I mean, can you imagine my dilemma? Which one could best deliver the classic line "Out of the depths of Hell, I stab at thee, O White Whale." Now lets see.. who could be Queequeg the Fiji harpooner? History and Hollywood: There is a scene in the movie Patton with which you may be familiar. Patton has landed in France after being in Eisenhowers' DOGhouse after the infamous "slapping incident". Under Pattons' command the 3rd Army has cut through the French hedgerow country like a hot knife through butter, encircling and capturing Wehrmacht divisions by the bucket full. Omar Bradley is given the unenviable task of informing Patton that SHAEF has to take away 3rd Armys' gasoline so that General Montgomery can go after V2 rocket sites. Patton gets royally pissed off, because he thinks he can punch through the Seigfried Line in a matter of days, thus being more deserving of the supplies. Bradley responds to Pattons anger by saying "George, you're one of the best commanders I've got, but George, you don't know when to shut up... you're a pain in the neck!" Patton pauses pensively, breaks out in a big grin, and says "Brad, I know I'm a prima donna, Hell, I'll admit. But what I can't stand about Monty is, he won't admit it! All right Brad, I'll keep my mouth shut." The scene fades as Patton walks off shaking his head, smiling to himself. Hmmmmmm... I don't know about you, but I fully intend to grab some drillin' stocks by the nose and kick 'em in the ass. It's on to Bastogne then! <g> Got a weather prayer? Bull
