What Mc Donald's is feeding you...

Been there, done that, sobered up before I got the tattoo though.

Say what you want; I love the stuff, and I always have. I will never forget my first Big Mac. Don't get me wrong, I love fine cusine as much as anyone can, but fast food rocks as well, I love it! If you think about it; even the poorest people can now afford to eat meat because of it. I don't think my ancestors in Ireland could, at least more than once or twice a year.

I think you misunderstand me brother. I was talking about the making a beeline for fast food and beer the moment you are cleared to go ashore. Did that number many times myself. As for the tattoo part it's a whimsical play on a sea story that involves fast food, getting kicked out of a soju tent for being too drunk, a tattoo parlor and a few other things...

Tell me the story; I was that guy!

You too eh?

I look back at that night and think just how drunk was I? Kerist, I got thrown out of a Soju tent, a _freaking_ Soju tent, in a back alley no less. This is like one step above swilling out of a paper bag on the curb in front of a liquor store located on the wrong side of the tracks...

Oh, and that anti-gwailo warning system they have? Wasn't that just grand? The little old lady who threw us out, sticking her head out of the tent screaming at what seemed to be about the same volume as the ships steam whistle, and then every other damn tent in the city repeating it so no one would serve us anymore that night...

And then the day after... Ohhhh, what the hell is it that they put in Soju, formaldehyde? If not, it sure felt like it.

I look back at those days and wonder, just how much lower could we have sunk? LOL.

Eating brains from a monkey whose skull is opened at your table doesn't sound so bad now, eh?

Dude, maybe that was all you; I was Sublant out of Holy Loch. Man, it rocks being a Squid, don't it?

Yeah, we all had some times back then. Strange how we look back on getting thrown out of places like that as badges of honor isn't it?

Oh, no wait, we called that "World Travel" and "Experiencing Other Cultures".

I got my first tat in the Navy. I was sober

Mickey D's was always the first place I went when the boat got home. Big Mac smothered with sweet-n-sour sauce. Those were the days. Then off to the liquor store........

Boat? Were you a Bubblehead, too?

What does being a bubblehead have to do with calling your ship a boat? I was on the Shitty-Kitty (CV-63) out of NAS Coronado, we all referred to her as a boat.

It's just that I've never heard a skimmer call their ship a boat. Subs have always been called boats.

Great work here fella's, we've got the government and industrial food magnate's feeding us the infected meat scraps that they shovel off the floor with the crap, piss, and puss and you find it a great time to discuss beer and boats!

How about trying to think of something better and greater than your own wallet and mouth once and awhile, and earn your position at the top of the food chain - before you become part of it...

Nope. I worked on the flight deck of the USS Tarawa (LHA-1) out of 32nd Street. We all called her a boat.
