We joined on the same date, it appears, but you have progressed much quicker! My congratulations to you as well, good sir.

Honestly I didn't know Pinkerton's involvement in presidential security when I started the "Pinkerton" themed queue. That's the fun thing about Sifting I guess. The stuff you learn. You look lovely in Vermeer, by the way.

Haha, if only! But that sounds pretty likely, yeah.. it was already such an intriguing, cool photograph - and then seeing that led me to wonder even more about the whole scene there. Neat little glimpse into a moment from the past.. wild indeed. Glad I stumbled across it. :}

Wouldn't it be wonderful to know? Presumably some bedraggled union soldier quietly eavesdropping on those who will determine his fate. I didn't really notice him. That's pretty wild.

I saw this image you posted on Edeot's profile. Do you know who the man in the bottom left corner is? Had you noticed him yourself? He seems to be either laying in the grass or popping up right out of it.

Likewise And good point! I've been thinking of setting up a Paypal account.

Bronze was my favorite. I like your sifts. The only thing that looks better than a star is a charter

In reply to this comment by EndAll:
Haha, I am indeed. I was waiting for it! I feel pretty special now.

Thanks, schmawy! :}

I never specified who would make the money. But I think that is where we would find ourselves disagreeing.

Money to be made? Is that why the nation relied upon war bonds to fund the effort?

In reply to this comment by EndAll:
Very late, but I saw this comment and felt the need to clarify.. FDR and his administration did know of the attacks beforehand - they were warned by neutral forces close to Japan who saw and knew of the impending attacks. FDR and his administration needed an excuse to get into the war, and this was the perfect opportunity to do so. At the cost of human lives, yes, but oh well, right? There was money to be made in the war.

In reply to this comment by MarineGunrock:
"The only way the Japanese could pull off such a victory at Pearl Harbor was if FDR and his administration withheld information" - Um, either that or they just didn't know it was going to happen. I hate these fucking conspiracy nutjobs.

And *documentaries.

Gah, that's awesome.. I am jealous! How long does that trip take, usually?

Sailboat Crew. Still do. Norfolk, VA to Bermuda in May. Can't wait. I can stare at empty sea forever.

In reply to this comment by EndAll:
Haha! That worked out then, eh. Interesting story to it. So you worked on a boat back then? EndAll was just what I pulled out of my arse when I was signing up here. No meaning behind it, really. I often use the username "intrinsick" on other sites, though.

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
When I was a young man I was nicknamed "smiley", which the Skipper, a kind of Bogart-ish character, pronounced "schmi-wee" and then finally to "shmaw-ee", because of the lucky strike that was perpetually in the corner of his mouth. You never had much choice in what you were called, and I was fortunate because I liked it.

And End-All?

In reply to this comment by EndAll:
Much love, schmawy!

Where'd that name originate, anyways?

Clever idea! Many thanks, kind schmawy. :-}

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
Yeah, AudioSifts some hate 'em some hate 'em some don't mind 'em, so here's what you do. Play the one Burd found on mute and listen to the one EndAll posted and I think you'll find it worth a vote.

I think calling them retards already denotes the fact that they would have low IQ's. Regardless, I agree with your statement.
