Creepup tries too hard, but his rant does remind me, a Filipino shipmate from the rewind shop (I was an Electrician's Mate) did drive me back to the base so I wouldn't miss movement. Filipino sailors are (or were) to a man damn good people. They were so proud, and happy, to be in the navy.
Hey Ricter, can you do me a favor and post a "*hic*" in your text every 10 or so words? It would complete the image and make me giggle!
Ricter has taken to hating on you. I'm not exactly sure why but think it may have started when you posted after the election saying that you putting a little space between you and family members who brag about voting for Obama. That post seems to have touched a lot of nerves on the left and they aren't getting over it. I liked the "old" Ricter. I regarded him as an adult. But that Ricter is gone and the "new" Ricter is petty, infantile and intellectually dishonest. I know people change but usually the fundamental qualities of their character remain intact even if their tastes, interests and political affiliation changes over time. Something very basic to Ricter's character has changed.
