  1. Charlie’s in the trees?! Call in a mortar strike! No, no, wait! Call in an F-105 napalm run! No, just use Agent Orange to take all the leaves off and then you can just see the Charlies and shoot them! I served in Vietnam! Or Cambodia! Or Denny’s! That’s right, I served at Denny’s, and I got lousy tips! Charlies everywhere! We’re surrounded!

  2. I did about 2 or 3 hurricanes while I lived in Florida. The first one I packed up all my crap to evac, but the roads were too clogged. Ended up being a pointless waste of drinking time, as we barely even got rain.
    So for the later ones, while everyone else went to Home Depot, I went to the liquor store! Recommend at least one case of beer, and one bottle of the hard stuff. Plus mixers. And at least twice as many smokes.

  3. I remember Ground Hog Day 1958. There I was patrolling the river in Fargo, ND in the middle of Hurricane Hillary trying to keep dry while friendly clouds were raining at me and thinking “The weatherman’s telling all North Dakota that there’s no rain in the forcast!”
    The memory is seared…SEARED…(or at least golden browned) into my memory!

  4. Jolly Roger, “Pointless waste of drinking time.” Sorry, I just cannot comprehend that sentence. I’m trying really hard, but DOES NOT COMPUTE. I do understand the doubling up of smokes however.
    Speaking of which, How’s it going Joshua????????????

  5. Cripes Frank !
    When I saw “Charley all around me”
    I was halfway to the WEPS locker at a dead
    run, thinking that Dimocrap Blowhard JF’nK
    had sent for some of his buddies from the north
    to silence The SwiftVets. Then snap I realized it was a whole differnt blowhard.
    Now where did I put those anti-flashback Meds?

  6. Charlie? Is Charlie out there?
    Charlie!
    typing on keyboard Hello, Jedidiah.
    Charlie? I didn’t know we were still talking to each other.
    Of course we’re still talking, Jedidiah. You’re fired.


    “Charlie, I wanna go to New York!…Charlie, PLEASE!”
    “Our home is here, Susan. I don’t care to go to New York.”


    Sorry, I just had to throw a couple references to my favorite movie in there, since the Vietnam jokes had already been done. Couldn’t resist. You may now proceed to flog me. braces
