Not really. Too much foul language, here lately. I like the Abbot Costello type of comedy.

TPBM is left handed....

Green thumb?

TPBM....

On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents to spread,
And glory guards, with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead.

Green thumb means you are good at gardening, plants, etc...

TPBM thinks Lucky must get distracted by his avatar when he forgets to finish his TPBM questions

Click to expand...

I like hugs!

TPBM will reread Lucky's post and look at the Italic words in which I said "What?" too.......... and then will figure out what is going on.

There are twelve verses to the poem, "The Bivouac of The Dead", by Theodore O'Hara. This is the complete first verse:

The muffled drum's sad roll has beat
The soldier's last tattoo;
No more on Life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents to spread,
And glory guards, with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead.

TPBM can visit the web site: Bivouac of the Dead - Arlington National Cemetery to read the entire poem

I knew two uncles(B-17 and B-26 pilots) and my childhood neighbor, all of whom are since dead.

TPBM knows/knew a veteran too.

Nope. Would like to tour all the Civil War monuments and battle sites someday though.

TPBM has been thrown out of the corner Pub/Saloon on several occasions.

No. I'm a pretty quiet drunk. Unless you count being kicked out at closing time.

TPBM is a soccer fan.
