May I gently redirect the President's attention back to my previous post wherein it states (quite clearly, if I may say so myself) that ONLY after the application of several hops-produced beverages will I even CONSIDER telling you the story of how John went Angry Former Marine on the embroidery shop ladies ... (No spoilers, Hambone!).
Not tearing limb from limb, post from beam and leaving that place a smoking heap of rubble amidst cries of anguish and piteous sorrow over how they nearly ill-treated the ODSS.... Sheesh... With all the humility I can muster, I tell you that that for the things I do, the sacrifices I make, for the mighty ODSS, I fully expect to be elevated to sainthood one day...
Humbly yours, J. Crosby
