re: Houma OTers: Y'all keeping up with this Martin Folse drama?

Military stuff - It's the first or second thing out of his mouth. A lot like Walter Sobcheck on the Big Lebowski.

My son and a bunch of friends were riding around the neighborhood and causing a little mischief and probably making some noise. He stopped the truck and - basically threatened all the kids whilst talking about how he and those like him died for our freedoms, etc. He is, to put it kindly, prone to exaggeration.

Just like Walter - My buddies didn't die facedown in the mud... blah blah blah

He is literally that guy. And when calms down, he talks like he is speaking to a mental patient, very calm, measured - like I have no idea why you think I would blow up like that....

My kids were little freaked, but laughed about it later. People who work at the hospital know how he is...
