Thanks in advance! There is no FAQ, so you got a break there. Never say there ain't freedom left in America. However. What's this stuff with fixin' to write something peotic on yer airman buddy's retiremant program. Didn't Nancy say JUST SAY NO???? How can you justify flying them airplanes and doing endorsing peyote, or, at the very least, peotically endorse a retiring fellow's retirement program? Just what kind of a message does that send to the youngsters out there. I must say, as much as I freely believe in everybody's firmness in doing what they damn please, I think it would be an out of place thing, this peotic tribute. So, hopint to head you off at the pass, pardner, so you don't, as it were, crash and burn in teh peotic fog if tall, here is a safer and yummier alternative -- a poem on true grits and morelles in louisiana the food is still southern ----------------------------------------------------- to the touch a morelle is just another shroomie though it smells something devine like grapes if they were pure sex like ladies when they get ex cited in lousiana the food is still southern and so are them there morelles once an airman always a morelle man and the grits. the grits are extra.
