The Old Hack

In the small hours of the night as I toss and turn, sleep eluding me remembering words you once whispered stills my fear, for I know you were right. You limned my life with your light a light finding worth I had never seen unearthing old dreams I had buried I relax, finding peace in the night.

Please do. Vertigo is no joke. I hope improvement continues!

Don't settle for any random conspiracy expert. Go directly to the best.

Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods? Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need...

Don't tell anyone, but actually there are international agreements between paramedics of different armed forces on generating patients for one another so we can justify getting bigger budgets.

Two military oddities among many. For example, SEALs get equipped with boots. As a paramedic I was issued a rifle. Generals often get specific orders. And most strangely of all, sergeants have been known to have hearts.

I was being facetious but thank you even so Me neither. Thank goodness for doctors with empathy and care for their patients.

Hm. You could make that argument, of course, and I suppose that since 'battle' can be a fairly abstract and flexible term it could come out either way. If you were to classify it as an event, however, I'd nonetheless be perfectly content to argue that it belongs among the ten most important of British history.

Errr, is that even legal? O.O

I am amazed that Dunkirk did not appear on either list. Ah well.

To be fair, I was only saying so tongue in cheek. Even so, a lot of good stories can come from terrible plans either gone awry or stopped at the last moment! (Half the supervillains in my old Champions tabletop game worked from really bad plans. The heroes worked to stop them not to keep them from success but in order to prevent the mess their inevitable failure would lead to...)

Nonsense. John Glenn was a Marine Corps aviator, hence Navy.

But all this just leaves me wondering whether King R2 would later be followed by D2. Or maybe I am just confusing it with the legend of King R2 and the Jedi Knights of the Round Motherboard.

This is a terrible plan. I can't wait to see Elliot begin to carry it into action.

What do you call this, then?

This did not stop him from being a horndog. Or indeed a great many other men of that denomination.

We could say much the same of life itself, old friend. We get what news we get. And as the gentle anchorman was fond of saying, that's the way it is.

Prof, don't be so worried about it. This is the venting thread, remember. We're here to offer what support we can, and if it helps, it pleases me no end that our small gestures of support have taken at least a little of the strain off of you and Mrs. Prof. Keep writing here when you need to and we will offer support as we are best able. I think I speak for the entire community when I say you are well beloved here and that your contributions are a not insignificant part of what makes this a good place to be.

More likely JFK, the company that makes them predates the Clinton presidency by a good deal.

This may be madness, yet there be method in't. I see it, too.

But Archie Bunker and Noah Antwiler clearly have no relationship to one another.

How depressing. He started the war just so he could be l33t.

I am not precisely a frequent customer for these so I had forgotten it existed. Someone kindly posted it on the "Americans in Denmark" Facebook group. WHAT THE ACTUAL. You know.

If they were sensible, they would not have become Aberrations.
