Big News From A Great Ship

USS BULKELEY (DDG 84) had a good weekend, having broken up a pirate attack on a Japanese merchant vessel.  Nice to hear that name in the news....here's a pic of me and big brother Tom on BULKELEY....

    Thank you Hammer. My wife never believed my story from years ago when a co-worker in the company cafeteria told me I looked like Howie Long.

  4. Re the "action shot" at right:

    Nice job photoshopping my towing hawser out of your bullnose.

    Seriously, well-done to the BULKELEY crew. Apparently there is some residual CW leadership still carrying the day. Just a shame they couldn't turn their captured pirates into "good pirates" (as in "the only good pirate...")

  5. Mudge, I imagine they shook the CW dust off as soon as they bonged me off....
