except for the World War II veteran part, it all seems fairly easily doable, if someone were so inclined. masturbating caged animals for artificial insemination seems like a better life, though.

LadyHawke: body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming

unless your timing is off, then you're stuck with a lemon until engine stops turning over.

They don't make 'em like her anymore


Thank god, or I'd never get laid. I'd just keep getting my ass kicked.

God speed, awesome sexy example-to-people-of-both-sexes.

SoothinglyDeranged: canaDn: This Canadian and woman Marine says thanks to Subby for posting, and "woohoo" is the new favorite quote.

Are you a Canadian who became an American citizen and then joined the Marines? I ask because there are no Marines in the Canadian Forces. There was a proposed Marine Commando Regiment set to be created on the base in my hometown, but as of yet no actual progress has been made by the Canadian Military.

I am totally just guessing here but; JTF2 might have enveloped any "Canadian marines" programmes that might have been in the works.

WOW...damn, what a wonderful journey through life she had. I hope I have just half of the adventures she had.


Good Find Subby, +1 internets for you

Her final words:

Ive got Ovaries of steeel.

That is quite the list of euphemisms for lesbian.

Which just makes it even more hot.

Of course I mean, you know... the part where she was 93 and all, not the part where she is dead... you sicko perv.

She stomped on the terra while wearing her ovaries on the outside!

She was lucky. If Fark had been around in her day, she would have become one of us

CraicBaby: What, no hero tag?

I also want to be her when I grow up. Damn, what an amazing lady.

I totally agree. Except for the becoming a lady part. Don't think I could pull that off.

There's a reason they were called "the greatest generation".

Socialized Medicine did it.

Can I have her stuff?

The world needs more of these broads. We've got enough fat girls with a metric assload of cats biatching about their office gigs, thanks anyway.

Damn, what a babe! I bet she was never bored.

Holy shiat. I would've loved to listen to her stories for hours on end.

[citation needed] for someone who has done so many things, it's kind of sad that there wasn't a single guest book entry from anyone who knew her.

Not to take anything away from a woman who was a total class act, but we have a lot of female Marines now who are just as amazing. Please don't forget that.

Semper Fi, and screw the idea of resting in peace. Rest in awesome, Lt. Nash. The world sucks a little bit more without you in it.

Damn. Now that's a life to be proud of

sheds a tear for the fallen.

/Semper fidelis.

Lake: [citation needed] for someone who has done so many things, it's kind of sad that there wasn't a single guest book entry from anyone who knew her.

I'm guessing the people that knew her were probably holding her hand, telling her she was loved while her favorite Andres Segovia album was playing in the background. They may have been a bit preoccupied to have signed an internet guest book.

Maybe you should have used the Hero tag for this one.

There is a reason why they are called 'the greatest generation.' Yeah, 'cause a guy wrote a book with that title.


The concept is ridiculous.

Studs Terkel had a point when he said that that accolade belonged to the sixties generation, for they had the mentality and will to oppose war. Of course, it is really just a non-sequitur

The war was not this wonderful thing. For one thing, many nations were slaughtering civilians in their millions for specious reasons. Ours included.

The American soldiers did not comport themselves much better than any other army in history in statistical terms, as reported by all responsible researchers.

When Germany fell, the refugees went west not because they thought the Americans wouldn't rape them, but because they hoped their famous hypochondria might lead them to using condoms while doing so.

People should seek their historical information from sources other than Hollywood and corporate media shills.

The great depression didn't impart virtue but suffering for many. The same is true for the war.

After reading through all of that drivel in the obituary, I'm not seeing too terribly much in the way of 'special.' Marine? Yay, so were a lot of people back then. Dancer? Whooptie do. Professor, God help us. Oh, she even took a 'trip' up the Amazon to go photograph brown people's jungle leftovers.

Am I supposed to be impressed? You did a lot of stuff, some mundane and some mildly interesting. Great. Congratulations. You're dead. Rot in peace, doll.

That is quite the obituary. Where is the hero tag?

I like that she named her daughter Pandora.

What an inspiring lady, all around. Rest well!

I bet your life is much more interesting. Here's your toll, troll.

She wasn't alone in being a remarkable woman of her time.
