I remember when you were reborn as tet offensive or was it tete? Seems like the only time I ever heard from you was on the Flames board on litkicks. I loved that board, it was like a crash course in zen for me. "I always got what was coming I never had to ask" – the spinoza of baltimore

I had so many user names on litkicks one of them was Short Timer.
I got it from a novel by Gustav Hasford on which the movie Full Metal Jacket was based.

At the time I used it I was not thinking about the Vietnam War. I am certified mentally unfit for military service. No I was thinking about my age. I had just recently turned 60 and I was stunned to see a strange old man in the mirror one morning. I felt like I had so little time life in my three score and ten. So I was praying "St Peter don't call me" yet just give me five more years and I will surely write the great american hyptertex hyper trash novel.
Now ten years after litkicks I am happy I still got tonight. To sit and scribble on S8.
