When I was single I dated a girl named Val and her best friend was named Kate(Katherine). And people wonder why I am Jap fan boy? [:D]

so, what's your name? Zeke?????


and I hope that Kate and you were just friends...'cause if you were anything else you'd give a whole new dimension to the concept of "carrier airwing operations"...[:'(]

" only because of great swimming holes?"

If you ever spent a summer in Georgia (USA), you would understand. Any hike that makes you wade up a river (crossing it seven times in four miles) will keep you a lot cooler than hiking along some ridgetop trail. Besides, it was so remote that you and the GF (BF, whatever...[;)]) could leave the swimsuits at home... One of the swimming holes has a fifteen foot high rock diving platform and a lot of little holes in the rocks in which the crawfish collect (nice eating!).

Or worse yet you pick up on:

1. The stock footage being wrong (Every PH show has footage of an SBD with a meatball painted on it)

2. The dates/ships/commanders being wrong.

3. The map looking like it had been rotated. [;)]
