Surprised? Someone had to. I did once years ago, but I guess I just plain forgot.




"Hey, Ridley. Got a stick of Beaman's?"

Sailor Steve forgot? I've heard that's not possible.

I'm just surprised as someone is usually way ahead of me with historical mewsy bits.

A true legend, one of the 'Yoxford boys', I wish more people around here knew that they had a legend flying over them in the war.

Forgot what? What's not possible? Did I miss something? :doh:

:rotfl2:

There are three sure signs you're getting old. The first is loss of memory. I forget the other two.

Sailor Steve has probably forgotten more than many of us will ever know. That's probably a good thing, because some things we really don't want to see and are better off not knowing.

:rotfl2:

I once told someone that very thing: I've forgotten more than you'll ever know. The bad news is I've forgotten it all, so maybe I never really knew it at all. :damn:
