Hang on, don't you have a degree Jeff?

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

No. That's why I'm still getting up at 7:30 am five days a week, and dragging my ass to Towson University. So I can *get* a degree and stop delivering pizzas.

quote:

A number of British troops were sent to Canada as a result of the tension caused by the "Trent Affair" as Confederate commissioners John Slidell and James M. Mason were taken from the British merchant vessel, The Trent. As I recall the number of troops sent to Canada was around 10,000, which viewed in terms of the large armies fielded by both North and South was insignificant as a fighting force, but useful as a message.

Just for the record, the President released these two guy's wiht the comment,"One war at a time."

*sigh* I love my student loan. Apart from the massive dept part. But that won't be a problem until I actually earn money. So, yay me! I'm going bowling!

No, no, no. I mean Liam is a twat. Not that he wears a bowler on his twat.

Speaking of Band of Brothers ... I picked up the book. Read it many years ago, and Barnes & Noble had it on sale for $11 bucks ...

...I looked up what happened to Captain Sobel (played by David Schwimmer).

After the war, he got married, had two sons, worked as an accountant for an appliance company in Chicago. He was bitter towards Easy Company. He later got divorced, and tried to kill himself ... he botched it, and died in September 1988. Neither his two sons or his ex-wife attended his funeral, nor did any member of Easy Company. They've got a photo of Sobel in the book ... he even LOOKS like Schwimmer!

The last episode airs tomorrow night. Next week, a mini-documentary about the actual men of Easy Company will premier.

Any word on the DVD release ... ?
