    Actually, the joke is on the thief. I read this elsewhere, but only 184 of the kegs were Guinness. The rest were full of Carlsberg and (gasp!) BUDWEISER!!!

    I’ll bet he’s a tad surprised.

    And this morning in Sydney, someone made off with over six tons of ham, bacon and other pork products.

    Coincidence?

    et al,

    Let us. with due respect of course, consider some known facts:

    1. The Good Captain is a Member in Good Standing of the Naval Academy Alumni Association. Many members of that organization have the privilege of Flag Rank.

    2. The Good Captain, also a member in Good Standing in the Naval Aviation Alumni Association. Some members is this organization have the privilege to fly long range Maritime Patrol aircraft.

    3. The theft occurred on the same day of the 108th Army-Navy Football Game (the only football game that really matters). As noted previously, the Good Captain is an Alumni of that organization.

    4. That football game was played less than 100 miles from Naval Airstation Anacondia/Andrews Air Force Base where long range Maritime Patrol aircraft are known to be stationed.

    5. The Good Captain, a known connoisseur of Guinness Draft and a Naval Aviator with known connections to other Naval Aviators celebrated the Navy’s 38 – 3 victory over Army.

    6. The best way to celebrate such inevitability would be to lay his (and other non-indicted co-consiprators) hands on as much Guinness as possible.

    7. Ipso Facto – the Good Captain (and other non-indicted co-conspirators) did the deed.

    Either that, or the South Hudson Institute of Technolgy’s Special Forces got to the brewery first in an escalation of the time honored tradition of ‘Stealing the Goat”

    if we can’t win the game, we might as well ensure we win the party.

    Good grief Senior D –

    With that line of reasoning, I guess you helped Fitzpatrick convict Scooter!!

    Good for a laugh. Thanks.

    Alas, Senior D the fly in the ointment is the only fixed wing a/c at Anacostia now is the T-28 pig-on-a-stick at the main gate…

    Well drat stuff and bother!

    Perhaps I was mistaken but there once were P-3Cs based the Naval Air Station at Andrews .

    As for Kennedy and Scooter, I was doing my best to help Kennedy blow his case.
