We were growin' our hair, we were cuttin' class. Knew it all already, there was nothing to learn...
We were strikin' matches just to watch 'em burn.
Man I don't know where the time goes,
but It sure goes fast just like that.
I really can remember when I was a kid and I wished I was older.

66 years later, here I am. Wishing I was younger.

God Bless my Father's Generation - the greatest
of them all - and all who've served.
As we get ready to celebrate Easter Sunday , we should keep in our prayers and remembrances the many Americans (mostly young men and teens) who fought and sacrificed during that same time 76 years ago in the Battle of Okinawa. It was the bloodiest battle and the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific Theater of World War II.
On Easter Sunday, April 1, 1945, the Navy’s Fifth Fleet under Admiral Raymond Spruance attacked the Japanese-held island. They were joined by a British, Canadian, New Zealand, and Australian naval task force and more than 180,000 Army soldiers and Marines. This was the final push toward invading mainland Japan and putting an end to the war. Military planners considered the capture of Okinawa and its airfields to be a crucial and necessary precondition for the invasion of the Japanese mainland.
Were the U.S. to invade Japan, estimates of potential American casualties were upward of 1.7 to 4 million, with between 400,000 and 800,000 deaths. The Battle of Okinawa only served to raise those estimates, as had the recent brutal battle for Iwo Jima, where U.S. casualties numbered 26,000 over five weeks of fighting. Only a few hundred Japanese had been captured out of the 21,000 troops who fought to the death.

A British boarding school teacher, who was serving a 14-year prison sentence for sexually assaulting five students, choked to death on his breakfast. John McKno, 74, died in Norwich Prison on Sept. 29 from “cardiac failure” after choking. McKno was behind bars after copping to gross indecency, indecent assault and serious sexual assaults.

1st base could be the back fender Mr Van Houten's car - the white car on the right, 2nd base and home plate were always the sewer plates in the middle of the street and so on. All we needed was an old broom handle and a 15 cent pink Spalding - we called 'em 'Spaldenes'.
This is why I'm so glad I grew up in the inner city instead of on some farm somewhere in Podunkville.

I posted this yesterday, and after I did I started thinking about how everyone nowadays is so fucked up. Like for instance - how long ya think it'll take for some talking-head jerkoff to try and debunk this info?
Everybody's a fuckin' genius, everybody's got a fuckin' opinion about everything. Everybody needs to shut the fuck up and catch their breath.
This is what we had for dinner last night.

Who said ya don't get paid big money for just being a jerkoff? Whoever it was was right - ya only get the big money when you're a world-class jerkoff like this guy.

Obama and this bullshit aside, it's time we start telling these people who bitch about everything - EVERYTHING - to shut the fuck up and go somewhere and die. Pisses me off to no end these miserable fucks.
