The Real Balz? Not Really, But...

Hmm, Balz being up-Balzed?

Great story, Steve. I liked the bit of asking a destroyer to get out of the way. That's one for the books.

I'd have to say that was a Balzy move......Kapt Balz would be proud of Kapt Rose. In fact I'm sure that later it will come to light that Kapt Balz had actually met with Kapt Rose in a Cantina in Mexico with a beautiful senorita on their laps, and Tecate Beer in their hands. This being after WWI I'm sure Balz listened to Kapt Rose's War Stories. And utilized them in his future endeavors......

I'm sure you are right, Slim. We'll see what Balz's bio reveals
