Guess I'll have to ask if Frane Selak is on any plane or bus before I climb in.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Pipsqueak!

Seventeen (17) times someone/something has tried to kill me.  Obviously, the score is Something 0/skidmark 17.  =D

(Amazingly, only 3 were close-up face-to-face events.  Two guys who tried to stab me* and one that shot at me from close enough to read his nametape if they wore nametap[es on black silk pjs.)

stay safe.

* - Does anybody know the statute of limitations for St. John's, Nova Scotia?  I remember it as a pretty place & might want to go back.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.
