Being an Army brat,I lived in a number of places also. Attended the first
grade at Frankfort American School in Germany, lived in Tennesee a few
years and in Hawaii at Schofield Barracks. While in Hawaii, I developed a
real taste for Li Hing Moi which are sweet and sour dried plums. After
the initial shock of the first one, it was a taste that grew on you. I
was also fond of dried red cuttlefish tenticles. They were not overly
fishy or salty but were deliciously chewy. This was in the mid '60s and I
attended Leilehua High School in Wahiawa where I quickly learned that
"Like beef Haole Boy?" was not a question about food!

"Like beef, Haole boy?" meant you were being asked if you wanted to
fight. Since there were usually several of them, I'd reply with something
like "meata eata" or "yuck fu" or even "ride the rod". This normally
mystified them long enough for me to make my getaway.

My wife was an Army brat. She lived in Germany and Virgina when her dad worked at the Pentagon. They used to live almost under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. That must have been a trip. Leilehua High sounds like a tough school. I went to a pretty laid back school - Kailua High School.

The red cuttlefish is good eats. Unfortunately, I got a bad batch and was laid out for about a week. I didn't eat the stuff for 20 years after that. These days, I no longer find it very appealing.

Do you remember when Popeye kept calling you lste at nite a few
years ago?

IIRC, you finally got rid of the horny little sailor, but he still
kept humping your leg for a while.

Don't feel bad. Popeye would **** a rattlesnake if he could get
someone to hold it's head.

About a mile down the road and around the corner there is a house where
they go nuts with outdoor Christmas decorating. A few years ago I
stopped and took a picture and counted the blow up figures..... 44 of
them. Then he started doing it for Halloween.

I much prefer pumpkins, corn stalks and gourds to blow-up Santas and
plastic reindeer. Some people just go overboard. Where I live there
aren't any decorating contests so why bother with all those lights all
over the roof for Christmas?

I haven't seen Benny Hill in decades. I liked it because it had a lot of visual puns. That stuff cracks me up.

I LOVED the Benny Hill shows. So funny.
He was a dirty dog.
Like you, Monty Python occasionally but not so much.
I also liked the slower but funny "Mr.Bean" shows.

There are plenty of TV personalities, etal., who are homo but just
don't advertise. When I found out that Lady Gaga was lezzie I was
devastated, she's one of the few small breasted females I find very
attractive, and talented. I really don't care if some male is faggot
so long as they keep to their own kind, keep their private life
private, and don't hit on me. Still I like to think I could have
turned Lady Gaga straight, only now I'm too old for her. When I was
in my forties her lezzie mate woulddn't have stood a chance... I
would have cured them both!

Breakfast. lunch, dinner/supper. But, If it is a holiday meal with
turkey or ham and all the fixings that is served mid-afternoon, it is
called dinner.
