Patton? WTF! My favorite part: When Patton says, “I’ll be proud to lead you men into battle any time, any where.” Cut to next scene with Patton watching the battle through binoculars about two miles from where his troops are killing and dying.

Happy Holidays to you and Carol.

Thank you Joe!

You’re a Megastructures fan, too? I love that show, especially the recent one about the world’s tallest bridge.

And mashed potatoes! Of course.

Merry Christmas to you and Carol and the a**hole poochies, Joe!
