Going back in my stack of pics, I found this one that my long time friend Pat sent me. I'm sure it's Photoshopped, but it's sumpin' I can imagine sailors doing. I just can't imagine a captain or an executive officer allowing it.
Update: Yep! Sho' nuff! It has been confirmed by a reliable source that this picture was Photoshopped. I still like it.
Another update: To those jerkweeds who think that bloggers aren't fact checked, I was informed within one hour by one of my readers that this picture had indeed been Photoshopped. That is not the first time that has happened. It never takes more than a day for someone to fact check my ass, and I usually issue a correction unless the fact checker is French. Then, I usually write a French bashing post.
Photoshopped or not, I love the message!

Posted by: catfish on March 22, 2005 09:04 PMPhotoshopped or not, it's now out of date. Our attitude, now that Saddam is gone, should be to "Embrace Iraq" as a new friend and emerging democracy.
"Fuck Iran and Syria" seems a little more appropriate. The fact that we're moving additional carriers into the area may be a sign that the "fucking" is about to begin. ;-)

No photoshop for him. Steel Boats-Iron men!
I'm sure that the white sandy beaches filled with thong clad covorting ladies...
for something that will never go out of date and yet still carries the appropriate message see the photo of the USS Roosevelt at http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org/graphics/carrier/option1copy.htm
I have high confidence that it is NOT "photoshopped".
