That doesn't sound so bad. It's gotta be better than when I last invoked the Wrath of Khan.

Nothing against Star-Trek, but I think a superior re-make is in order.

No need to spare me if that was over the line. I'll accept my brigging with no hard feelings whatsoever. This is a good site, and if I soured its reputation with my comments, I deserve to be an example of what happens to people like that.

I'd also welcome the phone call. I'd like to know how you're doing, and I've been reading several interesting books concerning US involvement in the World Wars, and the amount of premeditation that went into that involvement.

Judging by the train lineups in my subdivision, I should be free tonight and Sunday. If you got the money, honey, I got the time. For the call, that is.

No you should start to fear my wrath...

Why?

Because Wrath of Khan is the greatest Star Trek film ever made, and to say it needs a remake is sacrilege.

I'm also writing my English "Critical Analysis" paper on TWOK.

I think it was Richard Marcinko that wrote in his book "Rogue Warrior" an entertaining acronym:

B FUC - Big Female Ugly Commander.

I kid you not...

This one was actually used in Pensacola, FL back in the late 80's.....

Cilivians Under Naval Training

That had shirts that stated this in a vertical arrangement across the back in script letters. I can't remember the exact circumstances for the training, but it was official and they had civillians going to various schools alongside their military counterparts.

This went on for six MONTHS before someone figured it out. I HAVE one of these shirt. I will have to dig it out of storage and take a pic for you guys.

Talk about egg on the face...

..........I laughed myself silly.
