Don't tell Del...

And he didn't even mention his security clearances, past and present, or his old friend in the Pentagon to leverage some sort of authority on the subject. Sea stories live on.  :D

You mean imaginary friends like that? I'm good. Don't need `em.  (And even if I had `em, they would appreciate my ability to keep them out of some sort of need to impress others on an internet game forum).  You're welcome, hissy-ann. :aok

I'm sure you rationalizing them as imaginary makes you feel better about yourself shorty.

I feel great about myself on a pretty regular basis without any inflation, Rageup.  :D

If you actually felt that great about yourself, I'm certain we wouldn't be talking about how great you feel about yourself.

If I was the one that brought it up then you may almost convince me.

Is this gonna go on much longer? Are you gonna start fantasizing about my wife in public again?  :D

Conn, sonar.  We're picking up what sounds like terrible folk music coming from Ankle Humper One.  Also picking up faint sounds of the word "Changeup" mixed with skin to skin slapping sounds.

Reckon that last part is Rageup fantasizing about my wife again. So, have you taken over for him per his request or is this just habit?  ;)

Conn, sonar.  Ankle Humper One identified as an Arlo Burke class thread destroyer. 



Contact appears to be moving in circles, sir.

I work with many many ex navy/navy nukes.. Had a couple telling me how a Chinese sub surfaced in the middle of one of our Battle groups...  That is not suppose to be possible.. but seems it is..

Kinda silly to think we have the only capable Navy...
