And here I thought that Army-Navy thing was all hype . . . .

Hype? I think not.

But I’m probably in enough trouble for one day. Have to save some for tomorrow, assuming I don’t join a few smileys under that headstone…

Poor Chief Scott. Since I’m the one who did the very lame, text-based tweak that booted this sucker to 2 pages it’s only fitting that I try to boost it to 3…

Not that anything can equal the dizzyingly HTML-intensive offerings of Majormd, etc. The smiley placques, the near-Lego smiley constructions…:::sighs:::

Being a 'puter poop, all I can is…when a tough, smart, funny, gritty guy like Da Chief gets all dandered up and dangerous over smiley faces, doesn’t it just make you want to plant a quick kiss on the tip of his nose (the one on his _face_, you perverts), rumple his hair and run?

GBS told me to do it,  
Veb  
(OK, so she didn’t…but I bet she’s trying not to laugh.)

Actually it’s no wonder **ChiefScott** ’s so cranky; most Chief Petty Officer’s are, and it’s because they’re usually middle-aged men who’ve been in the Navy for fifteen years or so and yet they often have to take orders from Ensigns, Lieutenant JGs and Lieutenants who are ten years (or more!) their junior.

To get spaces to show up just type &nbsp; for each space. That is the HTML code for Non Breaking SPace.
