Green Dragon won his battle. See the thread "Victory!" for details.

Guys, look again.

Somebody accidentally resurrected this thread. The good news is he won.

Look for the thread "Victory". It's not about a ship.

In my experience, Colonel, gunfights are won by the feller who takes the time to aim... but it don't hurt none to be quick out'a the gate.

A letter that a famous gunfighter wrote to Samuel Colt. I can't find the reference right now, but I think it was Bat Masterson. I saw the letter (or a facimilie of it) when I visited the Colt museum, and was very interested in what he had to say. Oh, and I'm probably misquoting the actual wording, but the thrust of the mesage is the same.

i'm not sure how this thread got ressurrected.

(shrugs)

it does still get me that i was denied wearing the Kilt for St Patrick's Day (of all days!)

But after showing her that there are more holidays where a kilt may be worn, she changed her mind.

I'll see that and raise you being told that I can't wear kilts on the anniversary of proscription day...261 years later....

found out a long time ago

It is always easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission

its a good rule to live by
