    Just a friendly don't forget the important stuff, because when we do, we end up where we are and why this Forum is needed.

    I KNOW STUFF.

    To add some brain teasing challenge to my Post:

    Can you name one modern General or Admiral in today's modern World that is larger than life and is known as well as your own name, that equals the Generals and Admirals of WW II?

    I dare you....
    Yet, almost everyone reading this can quickly recall the name MacArthur, Nimitz, Eisenhower, Arnold, Bradley, Patton, Truscott, Stillwell, Chennault, Spaatz, Bedell Smith, Gavin....well, you get the point, these names just poured out of my mind without any effort.

    Amirite?

    Now you bladnasted crabbyappelton lazy kids get off my lawn!!

    ...and I will use the opportunity to mention that the names Halsey, LeMay, Puller, came immediately to mind also, BUT.......I FEEL EMBARRASED, BEING A CITIZEN OF THIS WONDERFUL FEDERAL REPUBLIC, THAT PRIOR TO THOSE NAMES SPILLING OUT OF MY BRAIN IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER, THE NAME OF THAT BRITISH DIVA AND LOOKATME NEWS PUBLICITY SEEKER MONTGOMEY CAME TO MIND IMMEDATELY AFTER GAVIN!

    I am going to Confession today. How dare utter that name!

    Truth in editing: added a "," where appropriate.

    Now that was good, and on target to emphasize my point, and timely in today's society of the Young, and funny. Sad, but funny.

    What makes me laugh every time I see the commercial is that he/she/it is wearing an Ike Jacket, 5 Stars, Jump Boots and sporting a Yosemite Sam mustache. Precious.
