Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Great story. I quietly wonder how many more stories there are, out there, like this one?

The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I tend to agree with the article.  The british testing of prospective submarine commanders is the most challenging.
