My 14yr old son let his hormones over ride his ass last week. He bowed up to his mom when she had already lit up our oldest daughter about her driving habits. He decided that it was a good time to talk back and refuse a simple request concerning the cleanliness of his bathroom. Not good to antagonizes an already upset woman, first lesson learned.

I got in a couple of kicks.... while i was pulling her off his big ass. He is taller than both of us, but he is just not in the right weight class ( second lesson). She had him on the ground yelling for my help while she beat him mercilessly.

I may have saved his ungrateful life!!

LOL! the next knock on your door will be CPS.
My Super Liberal Sister (SLS) Started teaching in the mid-seventies. She was lucky enough to get into a top rank school system which was very much upper class. The kids had both parents and the parents didn't start having children until after they were old enough to be financial and emotionally secure. She thought any school that allowed paddling was run by a bunch of right wing Christian Republicans that should be thrown in jail for child abuse.

She was like that until about the last five years she taught. The demographics changed, more single young parents who were too poor to take care of the kids without Government assistance. I remember one night she was on a rant and said " some kids you just have to be physical with".

She won't even supervise student teaches now. It is a real shame because she taught for thirty-three years and has pretty much seen it all. She just can't handle a modern classroom and the way kids act.

Classic good cop/bad cop routine! Nicely done! You can milk that for months.

I saved my son once from his mom after she deduced he was going to a website run by a porn star. It was sort of a DUR (During Action Report) I guess you could say. Aside from getting viruses on the computer it didn't seem like a mortal sin to me.

That is Admiral Lord SPrior's term. It think it was satire. Usually satire kinds means the opposite. Like when what's his name suggested the Irish eat their children during the potato famine. I am pretty sure he didn't really mean it (the guy who suggested the Irish eat their children, not Admiral Lord SPrior).

Of course, it might be completely different in England where public schools are actually private schools and Eaton is different from Eton.

Then again, have you seen the {big insurance company name redacted} commercial where they mention that old farmer MacDonald is a terrible speller? They cut to him walking on stage at a spelling bee.

"Cow. Your word is cow."

"Cow. C - O - W - E - I - E - I - O"

Bahhhh! "No, that is incorrect."

Status: offline 		I go away for a few hours to have some oysters and 3 or 4 Long Island Iced Teas (named after the island not the ship, I think) and we are talking about phonics and animal husbandry when I come back? And these weren't your usual Long Island Iced Teas either. Perhaps none of you lads drink but for those who do...you know the effect that the more drinks you have the weaker they seem? Mathematically, this is known as an "asymptotic curve". Well, it was the opposite last night. By the last drink they were big tall glasses with 90% top drawer booze and 10% Long Island juice. Here is how this kind of thing happens. Stalker Girl just chats up the bartenders. It's the converse of the old idea of the despondent drunk lamenting his misfortunes and the bartender pretending to listen. By the time the oysters get there we are already onto the third love of their life. We had one female bartender who was really tatted up on her arms. I asked SG where the tattoos ended...so she asks the bartender...so she pulls up her shirt to show us and tells us the life story associated with each one. She couldn't actually show us all the tattoos if you know what I mean, but we still heard about every one. The one of her left ass cheek was for the musician she dated who cheated on her...you know..that kind of thing. This kind of thing works on male bartenders too but the strategy is different. They aren't going to start talking about their life story so it is different...you ask what they recommend on the menu..how long they been working there...that kind of thing. To tell you the truth, I think there is a little bit of the same technique she uses to get out of speeding tickets when she is going 90mph. She always asks their schedules and they tell her. If a guy did this they would call over the bouncer (actually there are no bouncers where we usually go..maybe the manager). Pretty soon you are getting free drinks and appetizers. You leave a big cash tip...et voila! Here is the deal. You never ask for free stuff. You have to have some class. Also, it can't all be free. You don't want the guy or gal to get in trouble. Also, I am pretty sure you have to have a woman with you or be fantastically attractive yourself (not that there is anything wrong with that).

If by some odd turn of fate I have to plan SG's funeral instead of the other way around, I will have to invite every restaurant bartender for 20 miles around.

Wait a minute! No moon. 2000 yds visibility. We have radar. How did they know were coming? How the Hell did they get away? We have at least a 15 kt advantage on them.

Get this. After surviving with the personal intervention of Odin, the crazy SOB's come back during the day. All within sight of the starving LYB's on Dobo. I almost feel bad. OK, I'm over it.

Baybay airfield gets seriously plasterized by wave after wave of medium and heavy bombers (B-25's, B-26's, Beauforts, B-17's, B-24's). Lots of airframes destroyed on the ground. Even so, it was a great sneak attack by JJ, sinking one CVE and wrecking two.

Morning Air attack on 8th Medium Regiment, at 59,45 (Shwebo)

This was followed by Arried air attacks over Mandaray. Vengeance, B-25's, Beauforts, B-24's with a P-38 sweep and even TBF's. We lose 2-3 Vengeance and perhaps a B-25 or two. JJ loses some Oscars and suffers mild ground disruption. This won't be an easy attack because we have to cross the Irrawaddy.

I can usually figure out Russian and Chinese proverbs. I have to admit I have never understood Danish proverbs.

Maybe I should stop paying her car insurance?

Near Davao: Davao airfield was roughed up badly yesterday. JJ's effort to go after the CV's and Long Island (the ship not the drink) was courageous but doomed. Why do we have Sea Harriers on USN ships? I don't know. It just happened. The air groups on the carriers are worn out. They need to take a rest at Manado.

Allied aircraft
Sea Hurricane Ib x 9


Cuz of their STOVL capabilties and the fact that american military techology wasnt there in the 60ies. Brits think of crazy stuff just see Hobart funnies, soccer and such. As the marines was just in the market for such an aircraft in the 80ies(they like to be independant aka having their own airforce) they bought some Sea Harriers, fiddled with them and promptly renamed them AV-8Bs. Then they put some on LHA/LHDs, ie American ships. Not to be out done, thats not the american way, americans decided that any military equipment should be able to do any and all things. So they are now developing the F-35B, STOVL aircraft by them selfs. Unfortunatly things that can all and every thing tends to cost alot to develop and make. Lets see if it makes it, tho it prolly will. Too many jobs at stake.

What that has to do with Sea Hurricans im not totally sure off, but i just ramble as usual.

Status: offline 		So I am riding a beach cruiser (heavy bike with one gear, fat seat, fat tires) along the boardwalk in Newport Beach yesterday and we get to the end and a woman with a little dog in her beach cruiser basket says as she turns the bike around, "Oh great, now the uphill part"

This seems intrinsically disquieting to me so I do the math...boardwalk....beach...ocean...sea level...gravity. I giggle to myself. I ask her, "Let me guess, English major?"

She looks at me with disdain. Probably she saw the rented bike. Oh well. So I turn around and start heading "uphill". You know what? She was right. It was significantly harder going North. It's like a fishing guide. You have to trust the local knowledge.

Maybe they were South-facing tires?

There is also this. Never saw any place with so many dogs in bicycle baskets. Every third bike. Even the dogs have chauffeurs in Newport Beach.
