   Todd. It smelled like….
   victory.

   

   P.S. YouTube clips for those unfamiliar with Apocalyse Now:
   Safe to Surf
   Ride of the Hueys

   

   P.S.S. The best perspective on these surfers is from those boats near the offshore action. Deborah Lattimore has posted a spectacular collection.

    nice shoes….

    I like that you used your feet for context,
    it proves that you’re not just looking out some high-rise apartment’s window. =)

    lucky man!

    Kaets Ebut: haven’t seen that backwards in many years…. Is that you Bradley or Scott?? Both can be that cynical, so I’m not sure…

    @rocketmavericks: yeah, or you get shot in the balls

    Yep, it’s the former. And what do you mean, cynical?! Just recalling the old ‘Nam-era story about taking prisoners up in choppers: "If they said they were VC, we pushed them out for being VC. And if they said they weren’t VC, we pushed them out because they were lying." Rough times!

    Ah, yes. I forgot that MBAs have their flesh-ROMs overwritten with corporate acronyms! Speaking of smack:

    "Calvin Coolidge…"
    "TWO!!!!!!"
    "…is wrong."
