Thanks a lot, sillygirl, for the clarification. I did not at first recognize it as a "shit or get off the pot" statement. Thanks, too, for the song which is now stuck in my head - I haven't thought about it for decades & it's there again...

Naw, not strange at all, I'm the same way with 'We Were Soldiers', watched the movie numerous times, read the book even more times, know all the lines, have the battle memorized.....
