Charlie Don't Surf

About Me

You smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. But the smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. It smelled like... victory.

My Interests

Surfing. I like to finish operations up early, then fly down to Vuong Than for the evening glass. L.Z. beach parties, with T-Bones and beer. And I like my steak rare, rare but not cold.

I'd like to meet:

Lance Johnson, the surfer. I've admired his nose riding for years. I like his cutback, too. I think he's got the best cutback there is. ^^ ^^

Music:

We'll come in low out of the rising sun, and about a mile out we'll put on the music. I use Wagner. It scares the hell out of the slopes. My boys love it.

Movies:

Lonesome Dove. The Apostle. A Civil Action. The Godfather. Open Range. Colors. The Natural. Tender Mercies. The Great Santini. Network.

Books:

The Art of War - Sun Tzu

Heroes:

George Patton. Laird Hamilton. And any man brave enough to fight with his guts hanging out can drink from my canteen any day.
