OH, okay.. I just had a hard time associating lawns with Navy, although I guess the Navy HAS lawns, like on their bases and stuff, but I’ve never seen any, well except at the Naval Training Center in San Diego, where they had some officer housing that had lawns, I think, but no kids playing on them, so I see your point, and geez, this is a lot of commas.

Well, see, you’re the old guy, complaining about these kids these days, and… and… Really, you’ve never heard about crotchety old guys yelling at kids to get off of their lawns? “You kids get offa my lawn!” is kind of shorthand way of closing a rant about youth with the acknowledgment that, yes, we’re getting old and crotchety and… Oh, never mind.

Hey, I’m even for gay guys on board ship! Someone has to iron all the uniforms and put a nice curtain trim over the portholes.

I’ll grant you, that’s a good idea. Thanks for dropping by, Peter.

i do not know what i enjoyed best about this post – the reminiscing or the wit. thank you for taking time out from cooking with carmen electra to share it with your blog denizens.
a side note: twitter seems to be much more effective in kicking my carcass toward reading a blog entry than my rss reader. i think the government should provide me with a grant to study this phenomenon.

I love the crotchety old “listen to my war stories” vibe going on today.

Now you mention it, I can understand why men feel a bit funny about having women on boats, and indeed the latest feminist thing – women on the front line. How are men supposed to get any fighting done if both sides are just eying up how good we all look in desert camouflage?

On second thoughts, it might lead to the death of war altogether. If the men are too busy with the eye candy, they can’t kill each other. We can send the politicians in to fight instead.

I wasn’t going to mention it, but I think a lot of these young women on the Nimitz must have joined the Navy because they didn’t have much of a shot at a modeling career. So the “eye candy” theory doesn’t hold much weight.

You, on the other hand, would crash planes.. never go on a carrier.
