October 21 was one of the most decisive naval battles in history.
And here is a little quiz on old Horry.

"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Well, I'll be scuppered. Happy Trafalgar Day to all you Brits and 'Sorry about that' to all you French and Spaniards out there. Just because a One-Armed and One-Eyed Brit Admiral beat the hell out of you both at once, doesn't mean you have anything to be ashamed of. Or, maybe it does? Anyway, you could always say the light was in your eyes or the Russians hacked your E-Mails or something. Anyway, enjoy your day Brits, you men with hearts of oak.  O0
"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.
