B, Cassandra, Grim, Lex, Barb, and BillT... all of whom are definitely "characters" of the highest order.

I've been whacked by lightning. Three times. Each instance occurred at a training site on Fort Dix, all jolts occurred during the summer of 1971 and all occurred while I was herding trainees (at a dead run -- watch a lion chasing zebras and you'll get the idea)... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/grumpf_tagged_a.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/grumpf_tagged_a.html Sun, 04 Feb 2007 01:10:38 -0600 You might be interested to know that Michael Ney is alleged to be buried near Statesville, NC under the name 'Peter Stuart Ney'. Ney showed up in the Carolinas in late 1815, and became an itinerant teacher of French and fencing. He died in 1846, and was buried in the cemetery of the Third Creek Baptist Church. His physical description matched Marshal Ney's, including scars. His second career what a bit less spectacular than his first, but at least he got a second chance! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/grumpf_tagged_a.html#comment-56268 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/grumpf_tagged_a.html#comment-56268 Mon, 05 Feb 2007 19:06:20 -0600 WHOOO HOOOO! droppin' trou! droppin' trou! droppin' trou! my FAVORITE passtime, you know... ranks up there with pole dancing, chandelier swinging and jumping out of cakes. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/grumpf_tagged_a.html#comment-56250 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/grumpf_tagged_a.html#comment-56250 Mon, 05 Feb 2007 08:24:02 -0600 What slapping were you watching dropshort?

I foresee problems. Suppose, after you yank my genes in two, I don't grow back bilaterally symmetrical but *I* do. I won't have any use for a 27" zipper any more, and just where am *I* gonna find a 54" zipper? And what will poor Carborundum do with two Bills to keep tabs on??

Yup. 1. AFSis' "gotcha" to Fuzzybee: Post 6 weird things about yourself and tag 6 more bloggers. 2. Fuzzybee's "gotcha" to *moi*: BillT, you've been tagged with the "Six Weird Things" meme! Let's take those examples as OPORDs: Numbah 1 would say, "Conduct landing operations in the Dardanelles and move inland against the enemy." Numbah 2 just says, "Land on the beaches at Gallipoli."
