I got an email from Slice yesterday telling me to watch Geraldo at 9 PM because he would be reporting live from the 22MEU forward base. In hopes of seeing my son, I turned on the television and lay down to read until 9. Then I heard Geraldo’s voice. So I got up, thinking Slice may have gotten the wrong time from someone, and saw Geraldo talking about the OJ Simpson case.
Okay. Get this segment over so I can see the Marines. When the news break came up at the half hour, I checked the listings to find that the show I wanted to watch would, in fact, come on at 9, and this was just another Geraldo voyage into the unknown. No, I really don’t care to know any more about Simpson.
When the appointed hour finally arrived, I suffered through 60 minutes of standard Geraldo fare. No sign of Slice. He was probably there, but all the Marines wore boonie caps, and the shadows on their faces made most look alike. If I saw him, I didn’t notice.
Geraldo sincerely believes everyone in the military loves him. Nobody I know even likes him. Military folks tolerate him and his ego only in hopes of having loved ones see and hear them.
Slice, I didn’t see you, son. I hope your wife did, and the J-man.
*****UPDATE*****
From Slice…
No I was just there in the background. I was standing behind him towards the end, and was on the far right of the screen. I was going to make a John 3:16 sign, but didn’t have the rainbow afro wig to go with it…
Saw Geraldo late last night with my old boys from the 25th Inf. Div.

Until you throw him out of your way, Slice you have nothing on me.
