“…murdered by a lone nut with gun.”
While the angry lone nut is always preferable, the tragic, unexplained crash of a small plane is frequently a fall-back option.

Teddy and Dakine — yep, that was Raven. I wasn’t sure if it was appropriate to mention his name. Don’t know why he left us but I always felt a kinship with him. We served at the same time, he in SE Asia dodging bullets from hostiles, me in Northern Virginia, fighting off hostile hangovers.

Oh, wait…I guess that’s a noun. Sorry. (And apologies to Marion in Savannah who is most definitely not a Cracker.)

“Cracker,” which I have every confidence he will be.

I posted this yesterday on a similar thread.
Used to be an old time poster here, a Vietnam vet in Georgia, and his favorite modifier for chickenhawk Saxby was “odious.”

C’mon Marion — don’t pull your punches. Tell us how you really feel ;-)

Well, I’ll work on appropriate terminology.
I posted in homage to the former ‘Nam vet poster from Georgia who hasn’t been here for many years. His favorite descriptor for Saxby was “odious.”

Traitor is the wrong word. It doesn’t go far enough. Saxby was a Vietnam era Chickenhawk attacking a Vietnam veteran multiple amuputee.

Nice tribute, Chris. He will be missed. To commemorate the old days of his first posts — Caw! Caw!

From the old days when Scarecrow would post and the first reply would be — Caw, caw!” The old-timers, the new timers — we’ll all miss him. Condolences to his family.

Thanks David. Please help me with a question, if you can. When I got out of the Army in early ’69, I recall reading a book called “Up Against The War” and a statistic from that reading has stuck with me all these years. The book said that the state of Michigan — with 5% [...]

Repetition is good. Three times. Maybe it’ll get through. Maybe not.
But as for thirty years, I gotta disagree. I’d say fifty. It all started with JFK and Dallas, imho.

Well, ‘ding’ to you too Peterr, but I don’t have sufficient mental acuity (nor the ambition) to read through 189 responses from ’07. I got as far as number nine, though, and it sounds right — here’s to you, Peterr.

Hey — it’s the night to acknowledge old acquaintances from the past, no? So I offer up a toast (Seagram’s VO) and a toke (some very good herb that my neighbor got for me). Here’s to the FDL veterans — we’re too old to be considered Firepups.

I’m principally a lurker now, Teddy, and now retired some two years. (See No. 49 above.) Thanks for asking. We old-timers appreciate the recognition.
