    Of the ass. :yes:

    Wish they'd given the name to a destroyer as fitting of any other former Naval officer to recieve, but it's a start. For all my nit picks about the Navy, we are heads and shoulders ahead of the other branches on this issue. Probably has to do with all the shit that goes up in Engineering and Deck department berthings underway.*

    *and it's not gay if you're underway :brokeback:

    You do know that the so called Twinkie defense was a complete myth don't you?

    At any rate I see nothing wrong with this

    Dunno about that, but I do know T'Bonz banned him and like every other TNZ reject, he found his way here. In two year, he's got a post count that's higher than some of our oldest posters and still manages to say nothing worth reading :brood:

    I'm glad to see the speculation about you killing yourself was wrong.

    I guess I can take it for granted that you were among those so speculating?

    Would explain why you're still using a soundbite quote five years later... it's a memorial?

    Even still, I know just how much fucking managed to go on in the teeny, tiny destroyer I was stationed on and how one Cheif of the Boat on a sub managed to bang a midshipman that was stationed there on her summer cruise assignment. It really makes me wonder if the eight original female officers picked for sub duty weren't selected because of how butch they all were.

    I'm not joking. I had a Naval school where I talked to a bunch of sub guys who all said the sub officers were pretty mannish. :unsure:
