[quote="Old Grunt"]Thank you all for your kind words, but to avoid any confusion, I had posted my introduction earlier, and this was originally posted in the “DEP’s and other Civiliansâ€

Good words from a noble man. In my speech class I to dedicated and comemortated Ranger Pat Tillman. I brought my pathetic tree hugging classmates to tears, hell I think they are all at MEP's right now. But seriously thanks for your post.

Just confirms the reason God made whisky is so the Irish would not rule the world. A man needs something to believe in -- I believe I'll have another drink.Old Grunt wrote:"An Irishman who drinks. Who'd thunk it."
Only part Irish, but then I don't drink all the time.
Also part English, Welsh, Cherokee, and possibly even Jew ( we ain't real sure about Great- Grandpappy Cole, other than we know he changed his name from Kohl to Cole when he came over).
Hell, an ancestry like that's enough to drive a person to drink!
A small scotch whiskey (single malt) and water would be nice...

Just goes to prove the the Irish know how to tell a story, the Scots know how to distill a drink, and the French just suck.
