Trunkards II: The Legend Continues!

[RJDiogenes]

I don't think I know much specific about his politics, although I guess I've always assumed he's some form of Left Winger. But I've read Danse Macabre and a few other non-fiction pieces of his and he's definitely an impressive authority on writing and the genre in general. I don't always agree with him, but he's certainly someone to take seriously.

Thank you, thank you.

Up in the air, junior birdsmen!

Up in the air, junior birdsmen!

Isn't that what the Army guys said to the airmen in To Hell and Back?

[RJDiogenes]

I'm not familiar with that movie, but I remember it being a song.

[jgc]

The movie made from the autobiography of the most decorated soldier of WWII - Audie Murphy. He played himself in the movie.

It's from a song we used to sing in Campfire. I googled it, and wow! It has more of a history than I knew! Videos, wiki page and more! Now I'll find out if they sang it in the Audie Murphy movie.

And it was. Looks like the group was active in the 1930s-- maybe something to work into one of my period stories.

An elephant - purring? Must have been very happy.

Happy elephant! Me too!

Wow! Now I must see the movie!

Thank you. Elephants don't purr often, but when they do they knock pictures off walls.

Happy elephant! Me too!

Wow! Now I must see the movie!

I wonder if that's the only time a person has starred in their own biography.

[jgc]

Don't know. But it's one of my favorite movies. Audie Murphy also starred in a bunch of westerns. He was a good actor.

Emma, I think you'll like To Hell and Back.
