In the interest of maintaining the Castle’s reputation as an asylum run by the inmates a bastion of calm and decorum in the midst of a somewhat chaotic and freewheeling internet, I sensed John’s usual grumble to get the damned lead out and post something the gentle call of the Muse urging me to – once again – add a chapter to The Deployed Gentleman’s Guide.

Maggie, neurally-divergent killers bring a unique perspective to the battlespace, with their ability to make our enemies go "WTF, why did he do th__"

"Next Lesson: Complimenting the Warrior Princess on Her Choice of Fighting Knives..."

I already learned my lesson on that one. Ever get dragged along to go *shopping* for a KaBar?.

My Darling Chief,

I apologize on behalf of my Sailors. I do try to remind them to be kind to the elderly. Especially if they are a little *special*.

Kisses.....Your favorite Swabbie Doxie

Speaking of well-turned ankles, Hiya, Twin!

SEE YOU NEXT FALL!

Indeed. For the nonce, I shall make like a tree in autumn and leave.

Thinking gentlemanly thought about kat's

BillT, Please do warn a man ahead of time, I just barely succeeding in not discharging my liquid nourishment upon reading the statement: "The D.G. nimbly obeyed the Law of Gravity until he arrived at the lower elevation, ~~recovered his damn footing~~ normal aplomb and ~~slammed the ol' kneecaps back into place~~ continued on his journey, accompanied by the juvenile ~~numbnuts giggling~~ good-natured chortling at the jape the D.G. had provided." Although I believe that giggling would only be slightly accurate in describing the boisterous response upon seeing one prove the laws of gravity.

Grumpy, I do believe he was using the term gentleman in its most broadest sense possible.

...now you get to be the funny little bald guy too?

No, I get to be the funny *tall* bald guy. For the week it'll take the whiskers on top of my head to show up, anyway...

Small talk between launch and impact... I always asked the LT to put the top back on the thermos. Good coffee was hard to come by, and the crap that fell out of the ceiling never helped the taste of a good roasted bean.

I *like* Aussie humor, too -- but "... providing the comedy by demonstration..." might be limited to emulating Benny Hill, considering the limitations John imposes on us performing our own stunts.

Still, considering the pulchritudinous props Benny used...

Truly amazing.

You've crammed more old sayings and puns in there than some of the best Aussie bullexcrement artists i know.

Somehow i feel like you've the soul of a comedian. Whether providing the comedy by demonstration or not is the question.
