I thought the avatar was SWEET!  Flash is one of my favorite movies!  Top Ten for sure.  And I may be one of the few people on Earth who had the soundtrack album and listened to the whole thing.  Repeatedly.

I like when people keep their avatars consistent, though, like Jarhead with the gun theme, me with the Simpsons, Mirth with Bill Murray, etc.  Banzai always had some sort of Japanese cat, which I thought was pretty cool.

I have the CD in my car and listen to it every now and then. I have to hide it from my daughter, otherwise that would be the ONLY music she'd want to listen to. She does love Queen, so I've managed to do something right in raising her.  8)

you call your car the War Rocket Ajax dont you?
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

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.

My daughter is a big Queen fan, too.  Although, I do not own the soundtrack CD, so she doesn't know what she is missing.  :(

Yes. Yes, I could do that. Well played, sir.

It beats the name "Clifford The Big Red Dog" that my wife calls my car:

It's a lower-end, admittedly. I couldn't sink any more cash in it when I bought it (September 2012). Next one will hopefully be a top-line one. I love this car.

theres inexpensive things that could be done to that car.  8)

I've decided to return and see what Jack and Stephen have gotten themselves into again...

Currently reading the book "Far Side of the World"

I have all the O'Brian books (20, plus the unfinished 21st) and have read them multiple times. I don't usually like historical fiction, but they are so well done, and so full of period flavour that its easy to suspend belief. What helps is many of the situations are based around historical events.

I'm doing the audible version narrated by Patrick Tull.  It is the best narration I've ever experienced.  You can tell that Tull loves the series and gives all the characters a distinct voice and is excellent with Jack's personality.

Death Traps: The Survival of an American Armored Division in World War II [Mass Market Paperback] by Cooper

Armoured Thunderbolt by Zaloga

Great read so far and Coopers is particularly interesting.

Death Traps was very revealing, there were lots of little bits of info I had never heard before.

^Added to my list. Armored Thunderbolt is already on my real bookshelf as well as my Kindle shelf. It was a good read and a very interesting look into the forerunners of the M4.
