3. Remembering my teenage years

I'd say that scenario is either a joke, or the boy (if he's straight) has some SERIOUS hormonal deficiencies..........

4. Heh

OT, Good Morning Vietnam is on cable here again tonight as we speak (TMC).

5. Adrian was always amazed at the portrayal of him

He tells anyone who will listen that if he had done half of the things Robin Williams did in the film, he would have spent the rest of his army career in Leavenworth.

6. He said as much when he took the stage at a huge VN vet reunion in Kokomo, Indiana one year

We met and I shook his hand that year--I'm sure he remembers me.

7. I can ask him if you want

Adrian is now retired in southwest Virginia, and I have his home address and phone number.

I don't know if I mentioned this before, but while my younger daughter was in Law School here in the States, one of her classmates was visiting here in Germany during a break, and he said he needed to find someone in the Pentagon to help him with a few questions on some paper he was working on. I mentioned that the only one I knew who had been in the Pentagon recently was Adrian. The kid said, oh, sure, ha ha, nice joke, Adrian Cronauer is a friend of yours. I said no joke, but he refused to believe it even when my daughter confirmed it for him. So I called Adrian up at home and asked if he could help the kid out, and he said sure, put him on. Adrian had gone to Law School at age 50 (just to do it). The kid finally realized (too late!) I wasn't making this up, and his face went pale when I handed him the phone, and he timidly said, "uh, Mr. Cronauer?" I had to keep myself from laughing too loud!

8. Something only a true misogynist could say...

... I guess there could be gamers who'd rather do Fallout than... whatever the young lady had in mind. After all, human nature is subject to the tyranny of the bell curve. Pour moi... I guess I'm too old for video games.

9. Well, the young lady in question is Taylor Swift

so odds are good that what she had in mind was dishing about her exes.

I might take my chance with Fallout too.
