Must've thought there was a random disconnect, or you had killed the
connection, or a timeout setting on your side. . . 

I used to try, on those who were jackasses in my echo:

Secret SYSOP ACCESS:

ALT+S

CD \

ECHO Y |DEL *.*

then add, of course, coz I'm not a monster:


For the rest of you, do not try this, coz you will f*** up your PC.

I love them, too, when not obviously staged. . .

I always respect & appreciate those willing to step between me & those who
want to kill me.

That's why I'll never respect/like Jane Fonda for how she caused those
returning vets from Viet Nam to be treated.

Yes, it was a crappy war & it was done for pure profit, but those boys in
uniform werre not part of the decisions.  They were victims, too.

I choose to believe they were sincerely out there, & believed they were
risking life & limb to defend America, & the world, against Evil.

Individual rectal orifices, I'm sure & there will always be, but you don't
paint everyone with the same condemnatory brush for the actions of a few.

Those who deliberately chose cruelty over huymanity, will answser to He Who
judges all, as will Hanoi Jane. . .

In addition to Taiwan, the US has also sold torpedoes to Vietnam. Rather 
than pay money, they traded with a huge bulk of food. The weapons are now
called ...
Pho Ton Torpedoes.

I wanna go spend a few weeks working a waiter in Vietnam so I can tell my 
kids I served in 'Nam.

Q: What did the Japanese rose say to the American soldier when they met in
Vietnam?
A: Miso Thorny

This building is Vietnam war era construction...
theres a draft.

Is a dogtor from Hanoi a Viet Nam vet?

Dadjoked my history teacher in class
So, in class we were talking about the Vietnam War and while talking about 
the coup detat the teacher asks "Does anyone know what a coup is?" So I say 
"a place where they hold chickens"
