I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. THAT'S 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
BRITISH: We are a lighthouse. F**k off

1954 Bikini test
One of the islands in the atoll was  totally vaporised, disappearing into a gigantic mushroom cloud that spread at least 100 miles wide and dropping back to the sea in the form of radioactive fall-out.

Think some lighthouse could stop us?

That ship never learns.  The last time I heard it was doing the same thing to a Canadian lighthouse.

BTW, since it was launched the Lincoln has been in the Pacific Fleet .    If you don't understand that...  Never mind...

Exactly Dago!

Most of the people post fictitious garbage almost the minute it gets dreamed up.

(I still remember your post about Clinton boating into Vietnam with the US flag lower than Vietnam's. What an outrage that sparked. Too bad Clinton flew in. However, you weren't two years late in posting it, so it's not too bad.)

Lets be fair here, I dont remember that post, but if I did, that would be okay, because in my world, anything slamming either Clinton is fair game.

You put that it was an ACTUAL (you even upper cased it for emphasis) conversation.  Even if you're just posting, you can hardly blame all of us for twittering at your silliness.  Goodness Beet1e!

I don't think he did that chairboy.  Look at the paragraph format and its the same you would see if you copy/pasted from an email when the text gets fouled up from time to time.  I think the only thing he actually typed is:

Old but good - anyone heard this?

"But officer, it's not MY weed!"

Doesn't matter, Golfer, he posted it intact.
