10-4, mate:

I do like the notion of hunting pirates over baseball: can’t he stay in form by tossing hand grenades at these thugs?

Speaking of thugs, check out the story I just posted:

“Suspect Said He Planned to Rob Couple, Court Told
Man Charged in NW Slayings Stated He Torched Car, According to Documents”

Maybe we need our navy to prevent THESE a-holes from coming to the states, too.

You’ve remind me about an American hero I read about once (can’t remember his name, but I’m sure there’s a FReeper who will!)...

He was in WW-II, on civvy street he played professional baseball. I *think* he was a shortstop(?), can’t remember what team.

Anyway, he was in the Pacific theater as part of the ampibious landings on the various islands (so Marines or US Army). Anyrate, as he and his mates were landing, the Japanese would throw grenades, which he would then catch and throw back in their faces: BOOM! Over and over and over. Eventually bad luck caught up with him and he blew off his hand...

...Now THAT takes guts. The good news is that America is full of heroes like that guy.

I’m going to check out your threads now...
