“Ah! Que bonitos son los enanos huevon”
OK, so the title of this thread is based on a Mexican song that was sung by various units as they marched off to The Alamo if the book I am currently reading is to be believed. It seemed vaguely proper for a quick post. (Someone go ahead and translate if you feel like it.) As you can see from the picture above of my horribly coffee deficient desk this morning, I have the books of Jesse MacBeth and Dahr Jamail ready to be perused.
I pretty much fricken lost it after 2 paragraphs of Jesse’s book when I read this line:
My soul cowers, fleeing from the steady drip of my heart’s blood…
Honestly, I don’t even know what that means. But it struck me as hilarious.
Anyway, I took a quick gander at Dahr’s book this morning and expected the same ole shite. Apparently not, we get an entirely new heaping portion of shite. My good buddy Geoff “Stolen Valor” Millard gets 12 pages, the better part of one chapter. I figured it would be his dopey racism stuff with “Hadjis” inability to operate motor vehicles in a safe manner being the context. How surprised was I that instead it was his “resistence.” Which started because when he went to his new guard unit they had (allegedly) printed out targets with his picture on them and then informed him they were going to the range the next day. He apparently called his lawyer (presumably after shitting his pants, but before cleaning them) and then went AWOL.
Profiles in courage my friends, profiles in courage.
Anyway, look for my book review soon, after I read the book my girl got me for my Birfday about the writing of the Constitution.

Actually being able to read that crap makes you a better man than me, Charlie Brown.
Why not just punch yourself in the testicles, dude? It’d be a whole lot less painful.
“My soul cowers, fleeing from the steady drip of my heart’s blood…”
I bet it can’t be any worse than the writings of Scott “mind-thoughts” Beauchamp.
Going along with Sparky, why not just run #6 drywall screws in your eyes? I’d think, in the long run, it’d be more beneficial.
Bleck. He was probably really just trying to eek out a push-up and that is how it felt.
All I got was something about pretty midgets and a jackass before thinking “Juarez” and mentally shutting down.
After hearing this guy speak we can safely assume he didn’t write this book. Anybody know what Scott Beauchamp is up to nowadays?
I asked my Daughter-in-law, of Cuban descent, to translate and she came up with:
Ah how cute are the young dwarfs.
Que- How
Bonitos-handsome, cute
son-are
los-the
enanos-dwarfs, dwarves, little people, midgets
huevon- Young it sounds like but its spelled joven the h pronounced as an h hence huevon..
“Learned all I need to know about Islam on 9/11!”
YES frank, you win the prize. The song is “How lovely are the little dwarves” but I asked Jonn to make it more of “mental midgets” than dwarves, and he assures me that while Huevon means something about eggs, that in the spanish vernacular this is close enough for VA work. You know, Veterans Administration, by which I mean the three subsidiary elements thereof.
Funny TSO. You’ve been listening to everyone’s friend Joe from the Obama thread 😉
I know why your comments the other day struck a nerve with me, but I’m not sure why mine seem to have stuck with you. I’m assuming that you can see the email address associated with this comment since you are an author here. If so, and if you would care to discuss things, send me an email.
Not even sure what you are talking about, I haven’t read that thread. Kinda busy with work right now. As for emailing you, I’m a blogger not a pen pal. If there is something you want to talk about, I *could* email you, just not overly eager to. But, send it to Jonn and he can forward. The only email I use is my work one, and I try to keep work and play separate, and the blog is in the latter.
But, if you are intimating something, please by all means just send me an email through the admin thing.
And no, I usually don’t look at the email addys. Honestly, sincerely up to my coccyx in work.
As for the “Veterans Administration” thing, I goof on VV about it, but i spend time correcting my side too. It’s a bit of a pet peeve with me, but your defense of it struck me as absurd. Honestly don’t get too worked up about commenters not liking me, especially if they keep commenting. Without people telling me I am worthless, not interesting etc, I would lose some desire to get better at it. So, I often enjoy those commenters more.
TSO: Now I kind of want to save the MILPER message I just got a copy of which references Veterans Administration 🙂 Just for you.
