Good lawd, Touch, after all these years we still (all of us) think alike.

I can't tell you how many times I've said something about giving a kid a machinegun and all the free bullets he wants...

... the most fun you can have with your clothes on...

Cowabunga, Buffalo Bob. Where do I sign up? And how much do I have to pay them to be able to do this? What? They PAY ME? And FEED ME? And give me a place to sleep?

Okay, how much does helicopter gas cost?

THEY BUY THAT TOO???

C'mon.

Seriously, tho, I'll send you a copy of that Wings thing I did a few years ago. Galloway said "lunatics" and I said "I loved doing what I did. We were there because we wanted to be there. Every morning, we could not wait to go fly." There was more along that line that they cut. They all looked at me like I was outta my gourd.

Nobody will ever understand why so many helicopter guys extended, and I'm not sure that many of the guys who extended will ever completely understand it either. I think it's because most of us knew that we were doing good work, and that we were very good at it.

One of my biggest regrets is pulling my extension papers. If I had it to do over again, I would find a more creative way to screw Mixer.
