    Alohacat had it right then, maybe not having pants makes it easier to loose change in the cushions

    I hate Guard duck now. I thought I was lucky when my multi-tool slipped under the cushions and was found 2 days later. That guy finds 70K and 30 years of food by couch diving?

    BTW: How the heck can he spend it???

    Guard duck does not need cash – when he buys something he tells them to “put in on my bill”. (Sorry, I just couldn’t resist saying that.)

    $70,000 in loose change? How much would that weigh?

    What I’m wondering is why Guard Duck would need new weapons just to bite their buttocks.

    Face it, Rat. You will be foiled at every turn by L’il Guard Duck. He is an experienced mercenary, a pro. You have lots of Attitude but are a mere amateur by comparison. Surrender now, and enjoy future years of peaceful couch-potatohood!

    How I love Guard Duck. Indomitable.Butt biting grouches in the a$$? Guard Duck needs a real mission. This is an expression of the great military theorist Clauswitz…“You can do anything with bayonets except sit on them…”

    What that means is you understand that guys trained as REAL soldiers are DANGEROUS. Once they are super-trained, you HAVE to USE them OUT of the country.

    If you keep REAL soldiers around with nothing to do, they TAKE OVER the country, because they CAN.

    So you CAN’T sit on trained soldiers, ie, keep them out of action. It’s what they do, and you’d better EXPORT them, which is why we’re moving into Mexico.

    So we have a superbly trained military force…coming HOME…? in a country with drones and a Tea Party, plus others who are getting obstreperous?

    But it’s only a matter of time, isn’t it? So…we HAVE to export our armed forces or they will greatly(!) influence American political life for the next forty years. Greatly.Looks like we’re in for EMPIRE,of the choices…myself, that’s my choice. Thismeans we HAVE to improve out education systems, because your children will administer far-flung empires,w hether they are in government or business. See the future and prepare for reality.

    Guard Duck biting grouches in the behind. Wow, Pastis…if you know Clausewitz, you must have read Machiavelli too.

    Maybe I’ve been laughing but missing where you’re coming from. Hat’s off, again. You ever go back to Aroma’s?

    With no pockets, where do they keep their money? In the couch of course.

    Perhaps Guard Duck should check under the couch, while he’s at it.

    Look, Rat. Just make a stupid comment, and grab the little freak when he pops up to comment. How hard can it be?
