    They could have gone: “Hey, I’m John Rambolioni, you can call me Rambo.”

    The fun part: the book was written by David Morell, a professor for English, and it is quite good. As such, it differs quite a bit from the movie. Very intense, very psychological. Different ending.

      I think he has pectus excavatum- when your sternum grow inward. The opposite condition also exists but I forget what it’s called

    I had a boss back in the day.

    One of his aunts had a house on a small hill. The lawn was pretty steep and faced the street. Back around 1964 she asked her gardener to put her name in rocks on the visible part of the lawn so everyone in town would see it.

    I don’t know it Aunty still lives there, but there must have been a million pictures taken of her proud family name.

    Do I need to tell you what it was?

    R A M B O.
