USS Utah

[Flattop]

So are you a Ute fan or BYU fan?

The Utes. My dad took me to basketball games at the U back when Jeff Judkins was a senior at Utah. I recall the Utes winning a game on my birthday. I was hooked.

[TripletDaddy]

welcome.

May your time spent anchored here be more successful than that of the actual USS Utah.

Geez you are gay. I don't mean that in a negative way.

This post had meaning until Wuap took the cowards way out and edited his post.

Note: I am in no way shape or form calling Wuap a coward. As I matter of fact, I think he definitely isn't. His editing of his post just happens to be the same thing a coward would do.

I can't decide if it would be better to say:

1. "Pistols at dawn!"

or

2. "Your quote of my post only contained one edit, 1853 to 1854. If that makes me a coward, so be it. If you're talking about my originally bad attempt at pastiching a hymn, I had cognitive dissonance the moment I posted it and decided to delete it."

or

3. "Whatever, dude."

or

4. "Soy buena gente y no me gusta pelear, especialmente con alguien de tan avanzada edad. Un anciano como tú necesita no subir la presión para evitar un derrame o un infarcto. ¡En serio! Hasta los médicos te dirán esto. Asi que, tranquilízate hermano mío para que tus días sobre la faz de la tierra sean muchos y llenos de gozo y alegría."

Fortunately, you don't need to until he comes to a decision between the four.

I have to ask, because my opinion of you will be decided by your answer to the following question:

Is the USS Constellation a 1797 frigate or an 1854 sloop?

I think the answer is yes, in additon to the modern Aircraft Carrier

As bad as the students that come to CB asking the egoists to do their homework for them...

Given your moniker and your allegiance to the Utes, can we call you Pirate Ship or Jolly Roger as a term of endearment?

[Babs]

wuapinmon, honey, you're not helping your cause.

You can call me Flattop -- that's my screenname at non-sports sites and at a history group I manage -- BB (2-letter designation for battleship, which the Utah was when first commissioned) wouldn't be bad, just as long as you don't call me a target ship.
