It would appear that the incidence of United States Marines dying in motorcycle accidents has outpaced Marine deaths in Iraq. A problem so serious that Commandant of the US Marines, General James Conway will be meeting specifically with other members of the top brass to address it.

So, I’ve been drinking Aloe Vera Juice in an attempt to speed the healing of my back; I slipped my L5S1 disc.

You never know when it’ll happen to you – at least I certainly didn’t. For 36 years I wandered around having a good old time; doing every lousy thing to my body I could think of – without ever really thinking. About 10 months ago I started to feel some pain in my leg and [...]

Oh the times I have wanted to hit the eject button! Perhaps to launch a rocket and destroy the slow jerk in the Caddy? Or to vaporize the small woman in the RAV-4? Seems such cool gadgetry is available outside of Q’s labs — you just need the disposable cash of a drug runner.

From “Birdleg’s” Appalachian Trail journal:
Separated from his party, Danish explorer and prolific author Peter Freuchen dug a trench in the snow to escape a blizzard. He lay in the trench and slept. When he woke, he found himself buried beneath the snow and a thick, ice-encrusted surface. He tried to sit up but the ice [...]
