Nother snookered vet are you. Branch of svc?
As one of Bill’s contributing wordsmiths I can assure he’d never allow use of anything as tritely fatuously pompous as
“fatuous pomposity” William Safire would have appreciated this choice of words for being so completely accurate, Heh. I like the expression ‘this whole sordid affair’ which covers it all pretty well, you could make a lapidary monument to it and be spot on.
BTW that describes a place where copies are stored in the institution’s lapidary. Ole Bill’d howl at misuse.
I’d bet he’d select “Try hard not lie” as quaintly useful counteracting such as
“Planted gold nuggets to lure in accumulators, who in turn lure in friends, family and a network of trusting veterans. Stolen gold by Ken, after convincing PT to pay off debts.”
Recovered gold was the very court evidence IN TRUTH finally put him away for some while after Mexus office struggle with Federales . Unpaid loan allowed 100% ownership of San Felix for good or bad as it happed. Really try to get story straight. As ever goal posts travel at will unchallenged.
One a mine Bill liked best was his proposed international holiday after USSR crash.
“Pour us a Boris Day”
For a holiday each year
I cast my vote for Boris Yeltzen.
He’s not drooping from his seat
although the union suit has shrunk.
Bo’s the logical successor to the Gorbachov position
and the CIA admits he aint done badly for a drunk.
“Lapidary is called the place or institution where stone statues, stone tombs, or even parts of buildings are collected or exposed. The most common reason for the foundation of the lapidary was the reconstruction of historical monuments. Old original parts of the monument were replaced with copies and stored in the lapidary.”
I keep these jewels just like Bill in personal blog as they swiftly go bye bye as direct reply to 24/7 posted nonsense.
