This shouldn't take long.

Isn't that about blood sucking vampires? I'd be careful if I were you. That could get really nasty! And very painful.

Back up the thread drift for a learning opportunity.
Phillip Johnston, a World War I veteran and son of a missionary was also a civil engineer for the city of Los Angeles. He proposed the use of Navajo to the USMC at the beginning of WWII. Johnston was raised on the Navajo reservation and was one of the few non-Navajos who spoke their language fluently. At that time, Navajo was an unwritten language. By some estimates, at the outbreak of WWII fewer than 30 non-Navajos could understand the language.
Early in 1942, Johnston met with Major General Clayton B. Vogel, the commanding general of Amphibious Corps, Pacific Fleet. Later, the first 29 Navajo recruits attended boot camp in May 1942. This first group then created the Navajo code at Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, California.
At the Battle of Iwo Jima, Major Howard Connor, 5th Marine Division deployed 6 Navajo code talkers working 24X7 during the first 2 days of the battle. These 6 sent and received over 800 messages (all without error). Connor later stated, "Were it not for the Navajos, the Marines would never have taken Iwo Jima."

As long as I manage to restrict my uncalled for comments pretty much to myself things work out fine. A little nip in the right place never hurts. Just about a dopey show there is.
No luck restoring the thread on the charcoal bag.
There's always duct tape.

Any semblance of reality.
And people wonder why I don't have a television or go to movies.

Does bacon go well with broccoli?
Add a cold beer and it sounds like supper to me.

Much to my cardiologists chagrin, I've not found anything in my nearly considerable lifespan that won't go with that fine porcine product.

Everyone knows why the chicken crossed the road. Why are they still asking?

Well the turkey was ahead of it and the goose was right behind. So there it is, all of it.
I crossed a road once. To get me some fried chicken.

Aww, don't worry about it. Everybody here is pretty laid back and forgiving...well, on second thought, there is a fella named Geddylee (and a bunch of numbers).....

Speaking of dogs, I have a Chihuahua named Bella and she is a rabbit hunting demon! Seriously, this little dog loves to catch and eat rabbits. Pity the rabbit that hops into Bella's back yard.
