That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

Great image, Hotsuma. 8)

I gotta agree with Roger on this one.
My brother was in the marine corps for a long time and he's utterly disgusted about these violations. He called the other day and went off
at length about the lack of discipline and respect for the Geneva Convention, etc.
just like in a dream
you'll open your mouth to scream
and you won't make a sound

you can't believe your eyes
you can't believe your ears
you can't believe your friends
you can't believe you're here

Not true.  I was in the infantry for 10 years, and this type of crap would NEVER have been tolerated.

This is a BREAKDOWN in discipline, not a RESULT of discipline.

for some reason that conjours up this image...

DAMN!  I knew that would come back to haunt me...

A bit, yes, it has.
Not completely, mind you, but he's much less cabbage-like at the moment.

Well, at least he's got his eyes open.

Another thing to bring up...naw...I need to say this right.

SERMON TIME.

I'll post a new one in about 1/2 hour or so.

Yeah.  But I'm coming out of retirement for 3 reasons:

1.  Trollax asked me to.

2.  Guido asked me to.

3.  Thing have gotten far, far worse than even *I* predicted.  Who woulda thunk that *I* was an optimist?

You want to talk about getting to those responsible for this? You've got to kick the shit out of about 10,000 people then, maybe more.

Ok I stand corrected. You'll have to forgive me, I think I left my maddison avenue head on when I left the house this morning. Usually I'm careful to hold the thought that the news is news only because it's bad.

Rev Roger,
Doesn't have his own line of sporting goods, though.
