Incidentally, the book is Men and Whales by Richard Ellis.  I've read a few of Ellis' books and I enjoy his style.

It's a beautiful book, large and full of info.  Not a quick read at all.  It's more coffee table book size than novel size.

Added to Amazon cart. Thx!

"Aye, Moby Dick, broach your last to the sun.  Thy hour and thy harpoon are at hand."

Nice.

Ahab has some truly amazing speeches in Moby Dick. One line that always sticks in my head is, Ahab rebuking Starbuck: "Talk not of blasphemy to me, man. I'd strike the sun if it insulted me."

This does look like an intriguing game.

Hot lead and dirty talk!

Jarhead, is that movie still from the TV mini-series of the Shining or the Kubrick version?

JarHead, after those first two screenshot dates, I was expecting something from December 7th to come up next.  It's funny how, for all the rich history, there are only a few really magical dates surrounding WW II.

Ah well, you got a couple of the biggest ones in American history!   :bd:

LoL...didn't even notice those!

That still is from the last 10 minutes of the Kubrick version.

Thanks Jomni. When they come-a-checking, they won't find any incriminating whale blood on my hands. Now maybe some nice scrimshaw?  ::)

I honestly thought about it but... that's too easy.
