Forget the ice, you’re going to need thermal underwear down in the South Atlantic.—Readers in the US, please remember today those who made ultimate sacrifice for our country.

So glad the US didn’t get sucked into that war.

Was Bill O’Reilly on the passenger list?

And that little yacht has one huge gas tank!

I see a story arc here of Duke meets Gilligan’s Island.

That sounds like fun !

Ahhh, Honey in the bikini! And Duke bundled up?

I was in Scotland in ‘87 and attended the Edinburgh Military Tattoo with a tour group. The American entry played "Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina". Only five years after the conflict, that was a very poor choice.

The Yanks made up for it, though, with a young lady wielding a flaming baton. They don’t HAVE flaming batons in the UK. She was a sensation.

Back in the 60’s in our small town high school, our HS band baton squad went to “flaming baton school” to learn how to do it. Then they dazzled us at all the half time football games.

If I recall correctly, during an earlier century (the 19th? [1800’s]), the good folk of England would hie themselves off to Bedlam, to watch the antics of patients with untreated Bipolar Disorder and such. My mom told me that when she and her siblings were kids, they would attend “Holy Roller” revivals so that they could snicker at the participants. (Later, the kids would each choose someone to imitate, and play “Revival.”) Now we have reality shows.

Will Bill O’ be on the boat? Or did he get even that close?

Ice is only a Minor problem.When the Beer runs out, that’s when the Real Trouble starts….
