| Snake-eater   | Re: Sabat Saloon XXV Good morning all! There is fresh, hot, steaming double Irish on the bar, both regular and unleaded. There is also a pot of hot, spoon-melting orderly room coffee prepared for those who prefer it. Help yourselves.

| Snake-eater | Re: Sabat Saloon XXV Hey, I just noticed. When did we change the name to the Sabat Saloon?

| Racy Ol' Lady   | Re: Sabat Saloon XXV Good morning, Paul!  Thanks for making the coffee! It's a long-distance greeting -- you beat me by an hour, and now the computer is crawling, so it may be another hour before I get to post elsewhere. Ahem! I think some people just have problems with spelling...

| Snake-eater | Re: Sabat Saloon XXV Maybe they were just never in a tank and don't know what a Sabot is.

| Racy Ol' Lady | Re: Sabat Saloon XXV True. Bob didn't, but accepted what little I could tell him. Very little -- I have no idea what a sabot is, other than a wooden shoe. He just left here singing about a 'little wooden shoe!'

| Snake-eater | Re: Sabat Saloon XXV A sabot is an anti-armor round fired in tank on tank battles. The round is a high velocity "dart" that discards it's outer shell once it leaves the gun tube. Very fast and very accurate and very deadly. As an aside, the word sabotage came from the concept of the wooden sabot shoe in Europe. The workers, who were fearful of the modern technology, and felt it would take their jobs, would throw their shoes into the machinery and break the cogs. That would stop production and became known as "sabotage"
