With a little of Armistead's canola, it might be my only option...aside from my Oikos blueberry Greek yogurt! Today is Groundhog Day and my scornful wife refers to me as Putzatawney Phil...my Equinox having lost it's spring apparently. "Familiarity breeds contempt!"

Peanut oil might be a better choice.

According to Achidna.

No, not a Tambor class, we lost that one due to ....our inaction and were given the Plunger out of a museum. Her hull was laid in 1900 and I think she went out of service in 1903. Right now we're assigned to the Mississippi River guiding boats around sandbars, but Wolferz got us stuck on a sandbar 4 months ago. That was when he took his spiritual walkabout to the head.

Good grief, could we have got smaller tub? Looking at the size of it, we could just get out, stand on the sand bar and shunt the boat loose.

[swamprat69er]

Yup, we could have.

I know, I keep sliding request under the head door to get Wolferz's approval, but he never signs the paper and slides it back to me. I've done it several hundred times...have no clue what he's doing in there with all the request. If I ask him vocally, he always tell me to "go away and don't come back."

Well if were all crankin' in unison in that converted boiler which killed its first two crews in training...including Mr Hunley, with our scaly tails interlocked...we won't be cold worth a read: PS & new detail I was not aware of: the torpedo was supposedly electrically detonated with copper spool and battery! http://www.militaryfactory.com/ships/detail-page-2.asp?ship_id=CSS-HL-Hunley-1863 The hatches were so small you had to hold your arms up to get in. Crew # 3 sank something....the third times the charm? A very cool site for any sub fanatic http://www.vernianera.com/Hunley/reconstruction.html

I suggest we storm the head, force the door open and hold him accountable for his actions. That way he might do something productive, instead of hiding in the khazi contemplating his navel.

Oh go on, you know it makes sense.

Please don't go picking on the handicapped again.
