From The Iliad (Fitzgerald translation). Also spelled Achilles. Greeks didn't have a letter "C" and used "K". Is a little bit more true to the original.
Anyways, it was foretold to Akhillius he would could have a long and happy life and die in obscurity or a short, brutal one but his name would be remembered forever. And so, we do know his name, 3000 years later.
'Course, in the Odyssey, Odysseus meets his ghost and Akhillius says he'd rather be a lowly shepherd than king of all the dead. Looks like everlasting glory isn't all it's cut out to be.
This guy's about 5'8", 145 lbs, quiet and kinda' fades into the background. And he's approaching 50 now. At first, was a cop in Miami and the moved up to St. Pete. I met him taking urich ryu and then we started hitting the ranges with local pistol competitions. Guy was pretty good, both right and left hand. As for combat, Central America in the 80's was mostly covert stuff but not sure I'd call Rangers special forces. I mean, as med-evac, even I spent three months at Ranger Camp at Eglin. There's a lot of Rangers out there and they're not all bounty hunters and gang bangers. Most are just regular guys, working regular jobs and you'd never know what they've done unless you really get to know them.
I heard from a county sheriff how they went after the Outlaws in Florida, in the '80's/'90's. It got to where if they saw anyone wearing Outlaw colors, they'd pick 'em up and take 'em in. Cops weren't scared of them. Once the racketeering charges were made, it was open season on the Outlaws. Only thing that stops cops from going after similar bike gangs is that they don't have all their ducks lined up in court. Once a case has been made and they have 'reasonable suspicion', they'll be picking up the Mongols just like they did the Outlaws.
Wait, what? Now, sure, pre-packaged drinks with corn syrup are bad but plain ole' caffeine? I mean, I've moved on from Coke to fresh roasted coffee, just ground before making a pot. Now, I have reduced my coffee intake to just a quart a day, black, so I should be doing ok, right? Don' take mah caffeine away. How am I supposed to function on 4 hours sleep a night?

If they can figure a way to tap into trees and get them sending a current to the grid, that'd be cool! An electric forest, stretching to the horizon, with just the stench of fried squirrel...
Ripped off in that they traded stock for a look at Xerox PARCs work and clean roomed developed it. And they even got it wrong. The Apple folks thought they saw overlapping windows and then went and figured out how to do it, when the PARC gear couldn't do that. Apple also extended PARC's work by creating icons that both represented nouns (data files) and verbs (commands).
But then there's ripping off where MicroSoft demanded Apple's source code to code Office and later, Apple code bits were found within Windows.

Ask Akhillius.
So my dreams of The Planet of Large Breasted Stewardesses with an Easy Going Attitude are totally unrealistic?
Some folks have more Bush than others. And then again, some shave down there. People are weird.

This cop was Army Ranger and had fun down in Central America in the '80's. Not someone I'd want to get on the bad side of.

I put book shelves in the bathrooms.

I find your ideas interesting and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Why the hell would I care about you growing your penis size? Now, if there was info about my penis size increasing, sure, post away!
Yup, it's one of the things they're working on here. I'm still hoping they get a decent fusion setup going but the solar work is still pretty cool.
Actually, we have some Monarch Rum at home. If someone (teh wife) feels they absolutely have to mix booze with Coke, it's gonna' be something cheap.
I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
I don't invite anyone over for my parties. I just get a beer out of the fridge. That way, I don't have to share my computer, tv, or beer.
Too much info?
I think Clarke mentioned this back in the 50's or 60's.
Steve Jobs was the one that killed Newton... But all in all it all worked out for the best.
Are you kidding? Do you know how difficult it was to get an 802.11N card working with my 2100? And it still doesn't work correctly with my Apple TV.
Damn it! I must have missed my turn.
Is he the one dating Drew Barrymore or the one not dating Drew Barrymore?
