Got Nothing, So I Will Post About Comments.

Meow asked about christening the boat. I do have a thing planned. I will take a traditional ceremony and modify it slightly. The main modification is going to be substituting beer for champagne. I am not a big wine person anyway.

I will "score" a beer bottle so it will break easy. Then I will fill the scored bottle back up with beer and cap it. The beer will have to be flat for safety. The new boat has a stainless steel plate on the bow, perfect for breaking a bottle over. I may have to go through many bottles before I score one without it breaking in the process.

I may also have to arrange for a renaming ceremony. You are "supposed" to ask King Neptune to remove the old boat name from his records, and wipe the old boat name from his memory. Then you rename the boat, and ask King Neptune to enter the new name into his records and memory. Then you wish for fair winds and calm seas. Then you christen the boat with its new name.

Whatever beer you do not dump overboard (to please King Neptune and his court) you get to drink. But King Neptune does not mind very much. He is cool like that.

Or you can skip all that crap and just say a few things, dump beer on the bow and deck, and be done with it. Whatever floats your boat so to speak.

And there seems to be some confusion about my government issue socks. They were not olive green. They were a dark navy blue. Almost black really. And they were this wonderful blend of cotton and polyester.

MOVIE REVIEW - We Were Soldiers. what can I say here? It is another war movie. The movie is based on a real battle in a real war. The first major engagement for US Troops in Vietnam. In 1965. I have seen a lot of war movies, so it is really hard to tell how good the movie was. The movie is based on real events. It is not gritty like "Saving Private Ryan" but it gets the point across well enough.
