Taps at a funeral makes me cry to often times. A 21 gun salute will seal the deal.

It's only a guess, but I've heard that the US Mil built some platforms in the south pacific during WWII for docking submarines or something to do with submarines. These look like they could fit the bill, and the page that they came from had a picture of some graffiti on the bottom of one with the date 1951.

I'm not sure if its got to do anything with it, but walfaenger means something like "whale catching" in German.

da Captin will getcha everytime! Reminds me of college when we used to take the dorm drunk - when he passed out we would put him in odd places like the center of a field of in some other dorms bathtub or in the back of a pick-up in the shopping center. I think he went insane and was institutionalized?
