Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770

Never happen. I'm not even sure that he sleeps NOW. Which WOULD explain a lot.

The people that report these things are not people that shoot. They're the people, or are related to or married to the people that are trying to take our guns away. Because they're SCARY!! They're more than happy to have armed guards protecting them, as they have People to do everything else for them too while leaving us on our own.

I spent a total of 8 years in North Carolina, and 2 years in Georgia during my Misspent Youth as a Marine. Any time I went back to Ohio they said I talked like a Southerner. Even today, I still have just a bit of a Southern accent. And I tend to talk like a Redneck anyway, since at heart a AM a Redneck.

Based on statistics of immigrant, (legal), families, the parents tend to speak their native language unless they are adamant about assimilation. Many European families that came to this country after WWII were like this. They WANTED to be Americans. But, in most families, the parents speak their native tongue. Their children tend toward being bilingual. The grandchildren tend to speak the predominant language of the country they're in.

Which would take the rest of the world out of sync with us. International Business would go nuts.

We don't do that in Arizona.

Compared to THOSE two, yeah. Compared to the rest of the world, maybe not. Maybe Alpo's right, (DON'T tell him I said that), they balance each OTHER out.

As long as they don't unbalance our universe, I'm good with both of them, but I don't know that I'd say EITHER of them is balanced.

I don't know... I think that Alpo and Subdeacon Joe might be polar opposites, Alpo asks questions nobody else does, Joe answers questions nobody asked.

Amaze, or frighten?

You know that you can always count on your Sergeants. When I was in, ('77 thru '90), we called them jungle hats, so I just searched "jungle hat size 8", and that's one that came up.

They're doing a bunch of these. And yeah, a little creepy.

This place shows a size 8. https://grandpopsarmynavy.com/products/od-green-jungle-hat-ripstop-made-in-usa?variant=42391522214123

They have slack in them so that you kind of sink in, so that's not likely to happen. But climbing into one after returning from Shore Leave while drunk is something.

That's one of the things that always bothered me about the old monster movies. The Mummy,/ Creature,/ Frankenstein's monster,/ zombie, etc. is SHUFFLING towards the girl, who instead of WALKING away from them, just holds her hand over her face and screams, allowing the whatever to Get her. Compare that to Dale Evans, who more than a few times came to ROY'S rescue, guns a blazin'.
