"Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
-General George S. Patton, Jr. (George C. Scott), Patton (1970)
Even though George wasn't very fond of Sicilians (he called them the dirtiest bastards he ever saw ... eating macaroni off rocks, etc. {which isn't so bad, you're in the shade}), we Sicilians love George.
He's too George and those like him ... and to hell with the rest of'em.
I live in the Albany, NY area with my wife, our two kids, and our devious dog (he is a four legged criminal mastermind). I work as an investigator and I'm a member of the Air National Guard.

Victor,
Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you :) That one's a great line too.
Charlie,
Patton was, in many ways, a real sonofabitch. But the guy knew how to get things done on the battlefield, that's for sure.
AMEN!
Cap,
Figured you'd like that, old tanker that you are.
