Well I've finally managed enough man time to finish No Easy Day.  Not sure what's up next on the throne reading list.


for the record man is spent in a garage, shooting range or something not involving books.
while Im a huge advocate of reading, I think its more properly classified as non-porn alone time.  ;)
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.

Ive read through the whole comic and it makes that month to month wait painful.
the great thing is how much the show deviates from the comic so I still dont know whats going to happen.

I do my greatest studying on the throne.

Well Once an Eagle is roughly 1300 pages.   Average 4 pages or so.  I should finish the book sometime in 2015.

Gusington

Wow. I've read maybe three books in my whole life at 1000+ pages...a book on the Crusades, a book on the French and Indian War and the third one escapes me...between 300-400 pages is my sweet spot.

Well if you ever read the Game of Thrones series, it's 1000+ a book.  They read very fast though.  I think Once an Eagle will read fast too based on my first sitting so to speak.

Gus, if you're intrigued by Once an Eagle, there was a TV mini-series that probably ran six hours back about twenty years ago.  Could probably find it on Amazon.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Thanks Bes. Bison I read the first Game of Thrones, it took me about three weeks, IIRC.

Once an Eagle by Anton Myrer

That's an old favorite and I have a well-read copy on my bookshelf. It was also a mini-series in the 70's starring Sam Elliot.  It's on Netflix and is well worth watching.
