So what did you want me to do Yi?  Admit to be wrong about arguments I made only in your head?  And if I was to do that, I'm suppose to just take your word for it?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Who said you were a cheerleader Raz?  You might have been, but I don't remember it.  My impression is you've always been a very consistent change the subject type of guy.

As a result of the sequester - fleet week is cancelled.  They've gone too far. :ultra:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Which fleet week?  I know they cancelled the one for the Portland rose festival for the same reason.

What's fleet week? :unsure:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

New York City's.

Meri - wiki link below, but basically a period of time when the city is full of men in uniform.

Oh. Right. I live in the middle of fucking hell with no water to speak of so why would I know about something like this? :frusty: :mad:

I knew about it.  It gets mentioned all the time on TV.

Fleet week is great.  They sail DDGs and LHDs right up the Hudson and there are all sorts of naval oriented events.  Sailors get some liberty.  It's like Anchors Aweigh but in a real city.  ;)
