I got a POW story, you cranky old bastard.
An earlier thread reminded me of this story about some neighbors of mine, here in Tiburon.


My elderly neighbors died within a month of one another.

About a year ago.

The were both Dutch, and really old. I have lusted after their daughter, Tennika, since I first laid eyes on her.

Anyway, after they died, Tennika took "The Box" to a locksmith and had it opened. The Box had always been around, but never opened or discussed.

Inside was an account of her father's Dutch Navy experiences in the Pacific, including his capture after the Japanese sunk the ship he was on. He endured horrible, sadistic treatment at the hands of the Japanese and was kept in an underground prison in Nagasaki. One day, there was an earthquake.

The next day, almost all of the prison personnel were absent. The day after that, no one showed up.

After a few days, the prisoners decided to go for it.

When they got to street level, everything was gone. We had dropped the bomb.

Also, The Box held Tennika's mother's diary in which she recounted her adventures in the Dutch Resistance.

She was a shooter. She was a shooter, and she was twelve years old.

They never told their daughter, or anyone else for that matter.

Edited on Sun Nov-02-08 08:09 PM by Gabi Hayes
as in Hollywood?

can you take the next two days, or what?

perhaps the corner is being turned, finally?

will it make a difference to have a non-monster in the seat of power?

2. I am not all that optimistic.
While I hope for the best, I fear the worst.

They know they are going to lose both Houses of Congress.

They have to keep the White House, no matter what.

Unless they know for sure that our economy will totally collapse, they are going to steal the Presidency.

3. they'll steal it anyway, because the thing they fear most, I hope,
is an authentic DOJ

most of the malefactors richly deserve to spend the rest of their lives defending their actions in various international courts of law, then waiting their turns with various Bubbamates

4. Exactly.
If the Dems have all three Houses, the DOJ will follow.

Capital punishment is too good for those bastards.

They should be chained to posts and starved to death, just close enough to one another to hear the mewls and smell the stench of one another's rotting corpses.

Edited to add:

First version: She was a shooter and she told me some wild stories.
Second version: They never told their daughter or anyone else for that matter.

First version: held in an underground prison in HIROSHIMA.
Second version: was kept in an underground prison in NAGASAKI.
