I was surprised at the comments you recieved when you first joined... Which from my perception (yours might have seen a different view), was little to no comments. Made me proud of the membership. I took it that folks figured you were here, asking real questions and shared a love of the Luger.

Its all good - I'm just very gratified at the wealth of knowledge found here - and the depth of consensus. Which is what prompted me to immediately become a patron - something I don't usually do, but this forum deserves it. If you wanna see a flamewar, try one of the Piano boards sometime - nobody can agree on anything, and it turns into a pitched battle with fixed bayonets more often than not. None of that here! |

Zormpas,
When you first told us of your avocation my first thought was that you've got a bigger set of jones than I've got. I then I got on with the forum... All the best! Gunny John PS. If any doofus ever gives you any real poop, give me a shout; I got yer back. GJ |

Laughter is the best medicine.
Welcome to zormpas! Had to look for Johnny Carson and the marmoset. This link has Carson and the marmoset, at about 1:30 in, after Carson and McMahon mugging and having fun. Seems like the link is like TV in that it keeps playing. After Carson and the marmoset, there's a memorial to Gregory Peck with scenes from To Kill A Mockingbird, then an old ad for the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and that's as far as I went. Carson and marmoset made me laugh! http://www.liketelevision.com/likete...ie&theme=guide |

Sorry, I like to use "we" extensively in my posts as well. Give myself a feeling that I am not alone. Feel better that way. Actually, 80% of time, "we" really means "I" in my posts Just realized that.
Return to the original topic, Zorba's career is exciting. I dreamed I could do some unusual thing when I was a kid, but I could never break conventional lifestyle in decades. Feel boring on myself. |

This is way cool! I have always been kind of a "bohemian" myself, and I admire those who have the balls to do what they enjoy without worrying about what the society dictates. My question would be: How in the world did you get started with something like this?

Sonny..well maybe a 173rd did now and then but no one in the 101st did.
The 101st never burnt down any PX's either! The 173rd has that honor.. We weren't banned from every R&R post in Viet Nam for wearing silk panties! Didn't the 101 go leg? Zorba, Post a link to your web site..I found the FAQ quite interesting reading!

I'm starting to take it all as a badge of honor. After all, I'm betting those C-96 weenies on the other forums don't have their own male belly-dancer...

C96 weenies are all busy on relining bores Everyone has the same question "how to contact Broomhandle Closet, what's the cost, how is the quality, etc". Each C&R has each C&R's feature story. Not many Lugers have that type of bore.

I like his threads!
I wish I could just dance! I went into a home depot and bought a few sheets of plywood.. when the cashier was looking for the UPC symbols.. I couldn't help her lift the plywood.. I told her I suffered from ABNB, and was not alone in this world.. She said, I'm so sorry, and, she asked what is that??
I replied, "All Belly & No Butt! My pants fall down if I bend over!! .. I think we have a great forum and all the members are a very diverse lot... except for those paratroopers... ....( Jerry & Ed) With whom I'm also very close!!! Best to all, til...lat'r....GT |
