      • Yeh, it's probably a flip of a coin. But that's just the way it is in this business.
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                  • There is some fog of war going on. Nobody off of Kwajalein knows what happened yet.

                    Edit: I think the camera was just very close, so you saw the flames.
