Our flag poles! Where are they? Answer that one, Herr Goering! The Maine-iacs have plenty of them! Talking big is all he's good for, that fat slob.

Yes this is dog: As a resident of Kittery, ME, let me say that I officially don't give a fark.

Old Orchard represent! Spent many Summers at the family beach house there.

This is close to my heart. Although I lost no family when the 593 went down and stayed down, my father was team lead on the design for the torpedo delivery system. Luckily, he turned down a shakedown cruise invite. I may need to make a road trip.

CSB time...

At the commissioning of the 593, my mother joined my dad for a families tour of the boat. My mom was a naive country girl. When she looked through the periscope she yelled "Dave! It's in technicolor!" I'm pretty sure that was the moment facepalming was born.
