For the longest time you couldn't see good quality copies of an old 1950s television show, The Silent Service.
Youtube has  a few now, and here is one on the USS Barb, and commander Gene Fluckey.

Definitely showing its age, but the blowing up of the train does compare with Fluckey's written story in Fire Down Below.
It was always reported that Admiral Charley Lockwood fought to make the stories as accurate as possible.  The actor portraying Fluckey was partly chosen because of the large ears.
"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.

That looks like one of those bag-o-toys ads in the back of old comics:

'Super-sized fleets of ships! Wage pitched battles at sea right on your living room floor!"

They're even still attached to their sprues!

It just trying to get the hell away from Maine!  :arr:
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

That could come in handy if it goes through a time vortex and suddenly emerges to find the IJN Musashi lobbing 18" shells at it.
