centre of the universe - the dreaming: I just remembered something...

02/07/2007: "I just remembered something..." I just remembered something.

"I'M A GODDAMNED FIVE-STAR GENERAL!"

The story: The Redhaired Bastard had an uncle (presumably, he still does) who really really liked Five-Star Whiskey. He liked it so much the Redhaired Bastard made him a shirt with the star from the Five-Star Whiskey label on it. And they were at a Family Gathering, and Uncle Five-Star was into his cups, and partway through the night, Mrs. Five-Star says, trying to be polite and all quiet about it, "Honey, I think you've had enough for tonight..."
And Mr. Five-Star leaps to his feet, and the whiskey and seven in his cup sloshes over the side, and he hollers "Enough!? You think I've had enough!? I'll tell you when I've had enough, woman! I'M A GODDAMNED FIVE-STAR GENERAL!"

And so that became the cheer for many many years.

I realise I miss his stories. He is a wonderful storyteller.

"The shingle" "Smart Bournaller (and Female)!"

I am It's true. I am.
