Good stuff there, enjoy it!RangerX wrote:7 year old daughter sees a carnival ride called "Superbowl". She reads it Superb Owl.

My little son when he was younger loved the movie Toy Story, but he always pronounced it "Stoy Tory".
And he would mimic Buzz Lightyear by throwing his fist in the air and yelling, "To Infiminy annnnd Behind!"
Gotta love it man. That's what it's all about.

Re: Random thought of the moment.
Inevitably whenever you bring up Forrest, someone will bring up Fort Pillow. Its like whenever I talk of Thomas Jefferson, someone brings up Sally Hemmings. Needless to say both are bullshit and the real history is a lot more tame. It is too lengthy to go into here, but most of the casualties at Fort Pillow were caused by the white Union officer's incompetence. Maybe later, if there is an interest, I will write what happened on another forum and not the Random Thought of the Moment.As far as Forrest goes, I would say that the accounts I have read of the Fort Pillow Massacre and Forrest's post war exploits would kind of get in the way of any admiration that I'd have.

The definition of a "Virgin Lake" is a body of water that a woman has swam in, but the fish still taste like chicken!

Re: Random thought of the moment.
So I was screwing around with Wikipedia when I cam across this phrase about Benedict Arnold. Some shit never changes
Greene received a letter from Arnold, where Arnold lamented over the "deplorable" and "horrid" situation of the country at that particular moment, citing the depreciating currency, disaffection of the army, and internal fighting in Congress for the country's problems, while predicting "impending Ruin" if things would not soon change

Heard this quote at the end of the tv show Criminal Minds last night.
It immediately made me think of our Ranger NCO's.
