Well.
I thought I knew who my friends were. I guess I was wrong. I had NO IDEA there were people here who were unhappy with my avatar.
It’s been my avatar for two years. It fits. It matches my screen name. It brings me warm fuzzy memories. It is a comfort on a cold night. I guess that doesn’t matter to you people.
So. What should I replace it with? Help choose an avatar for me. The winner will receive something. Probably a dead skunk, but something nonetheless.

Leon, haven’t seen much of you round these parts lately. All OK?
And yeah, missing Buffy. Still, I like NCIS. Not sure about NCISLA
Keep the avatar. Tanks are cool.
Hi, TBoM. Where the heck have you been?
And xbrad, I like your avatar.
Mare…just had somethings going on…and for the past couple days with Rosetta’s news, ain’t had much funneh in the blood
Leon, it’s not a tank.
That’s what started the discussion about my avatar.
Just keep the tank, dude.

geez, brad, just change it up for a few days. no one said throw it out.
Are you PMSing? Do you need a hug?
I like it too. Sounds like my ragging on it was dang near close to punching you, so much so that you needed a post. I will be more sensitive with you next time.

Look at me!!!! Talk about me!!! More ME ME Me!!!!!!
You could change it from a Bradley to a Hummer …
I KNOW IT’S NOT A TANK. YOU SEE THAT PERIOD BETWEEN STATEMENT 1 AND STATEMENT 2!? NO CONNECTION BETWEEN THEM! YOU’RE READING THAT INTO IT!
I stand by what I said. Keep the avatar, and tanks are cool.
need a little help!
Imma hafta choke a bitch, ain’t I?
Sorry xbrad. I just didn’t know that you were so enamoured with your Tank Picture. It’s okay to keep it. Really.
Frankly, I’m a little disappointed that none of you mouthbreathers has come up with a link for something for me to use.
Can I still get that hug?
Here is B-rad’s original avatard
If you feel the need to stick with tracked vehicles, you could change your screen name to “Pancake” and use a CAT D9 for your avatard.
Oh, here’s your link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:D9R-pic0010.jpg
[[hugs brad]] Really, your Tank Picture fits you! You just keep it and forget what everybody says about you because it’s just not true. [[hugs brad]]

Bob, I’ve got that pic (and a couple hundred others) on the hard drive.
I was hoping someone would come up with something funneh. So far, TBoM’s is the best.
What?!?! I thought you liked the nap thing?
Brad, I found your avatar.
I like naps. I like the T-shirt. Not sure how it would look on an avatar.
Of course, I’m pretty sure I don’t want folks on the “real” blogs I comment at to see the pink gun-track.
You comment on “real” blogs? Who knew?
OK, why don’t I “get” the William Shakespeare reference?
Maybe because you’re an illiterate ar-tard?
Yes Sean, you are correct. How about enlightening an old retard.
I don’t get the Bill Shakespeare reference either, and I’m a literate ar-tard.
Srsly, I’ve read Aeschylus.
Shakespeare is known as “The Bard.”
You comment on “real” blogs? Who knew?
Oddly enough, mostly Navy centric ones.

It’s kinda disturbing what you can find if you Google Image search “Gay Bradley” with the safe search off.
And by kinda disturbing I mean that most of you degenerate fucks would stay glued to it for hours.
Yeah, while you where chucklling over 12th night, I was busy studying R.M. Graziano’s Tariff in order to safely load and move nukes.
MCPO, I only read what the UM made me read as one of the Honor’s program hostages (i.e. not the cool kind). When I switched to Engineering later I was the best read but behind on my statics and dynamics.

I’ve always been just a little curious what motivates MCPO to post a snippet of an old song that is a total non-sequiter to the thread at hand.
I mean, what’s the thought process? Is he pissed that the workers in the home haven’t brought him his evening juice cup? Is he trying to comment on a music board, and just confused?
Is he just batshit crazy?
Brad – I must agree with you. I enjoy watching Bob Reed kick the trolls around on other blogs.
As one of the newbies here, I’m sticking my nose into places to see what happens. I’m sure it will get smacked a few times before I get it all figured out.
STFU, agile_dog.
xBrad – It is my rebellion against Hip-Hop! I’m just schooling the young folks here!

Dick, ,you do know that the only friends I have are these guys?
MCPO,
THe breadth of your video collection is amazing sometimes, from Irish folk singers, to funny videos, and just about any music genre over the last 30 years…
Do you just have all these bookmarked, or have you downloaded them or what?
You could have your own youtube channel.
TBOM – That was as funny as a colonoscopy!
O, ’tis the Bard! Prithee, pray tell me how thou doest this fine day? Hast thou plans for yon weeke end?
Bob, the hostages blog is MCPO’s youtube channel.
Bob – I find them when some commenter makes some weird neural connection in my brain fire off. I have a compendium of lyrics and song titles in my head. . . so, I search YouTube by the title or a snippet of the lyrics.

leon,
It’s true that you never know what you’ll see here whether it’s posted or in the threads…
The Hostages are probably the most unique, eclectic, and funniest community in the blogoverse.
A welcome refuge from the serious and/or geeky stuff I might be into at any time.
Have fun and stay safe with wiser, xBrad.
I’m jealous, I haven’t met anyone in real life. That might say something about me, though.
I’d like to help you out, Brad, but I got nuttin’.
Besides, its your avatard. You picked it because it spoke to you. I don’t know if that means it was jumping up and down and saying “Hey retard, pick me!” or if it said “Choose me, and together we will rule the world!” Honestly, I don’t care. The point is, it tripped your trigger, and made your peedee quiver, which makes it an expression of you, and if other people don’t really like it, well, joke ‘em if they can’t take a fuck. You have the luxury of being one of the old farts around here, and even if you are the Hostage that humor forgot, you are one of the cool kids who gets to ride at the front of the short bus and trip all the newbies who are on their way to the back while they search for a seat and the chance to not see BrewFan eating his boogers with eagerness and delight, or TBOM asking “Does this telephone pole make my ass look big?” Yes, I realize that makes you a prince in the kingdom of morons, but hey, every subculture has its pecking order. Exercise your authoritah, and tell the critics to get you a beer and have a big ol’ bowl of STFU.
Brad, keep the avatar and tell whoever is pissed about it to fuck themselves. Next, kill all of your friends. Most of those cocksuckers are worthless anyway. Just my good Christian opinion.
And this is why he’s my blogfather.
Well, that and the fact that he’s older then MCPOld.
MCPO,
I remember a lot of tunes from back in the day, but most of the time I have to imagine the melody in my head to recall the lyrics; and you can forget that if the TV is on or a stereo…
BiW, I feel exactly that for my avocado chip.
And this is why he’s my blogfather.
I thought it was because he fed you quaaludes and champagne?
“…a prince in the kingdom of morons…”
A priceless quote, and a cut above being the king of nothing…
xbrad, I hope that y’all have a great time over the weekend with your SoCal hookup.
So how many strip clubs are you going to visit; maybe you can get a volume discount on the lap dances!
I haven’t met any Hostages yet. Which is probably good. If I did, they’d end up dead. My superpower is boring people to death anyway.
Besides, as WP once told me: I can talk for half an hour on the difference between Sunnis and Shiites but I can’t leave a voicemail to save my life.
You’d think Orange County would have some decent looking strippers, but you’d be wrong.
You do NOT want a “volume” discount on lap dances.
My pelvis still hurts when it rains.
I thought it was because he fed you quaaludes and champagne?
Hell No! It was because he knew the best use for two one-eyed midget hookers, an ottoman, a ten pound tub of Crisco, a trunkload of visqueen, and a pair of castinets.
Of course, that was before he got married again. It just isn’t the same with his wife joining in.
It was the castanets, wasn’t it?
M’o”o”””n’,
You really need to hang out here more. Its really hard work being the most hated commenter all the time.
M’oon, where are you located. We could hang out and I could explain finite field arithmetic.
Bob – I find them when some commenter makes some weird neural connection in my brain fire off.
Are you sure you’re not actually having strokes?
It was the castanets, wasn’t it?
Pshaw! It was the Crisco. The old man knows how to party. He sprung for the butter flavor.
I’m in the People’s Democratic Socialist State of Illinois.
I think it’s funny how every country with the name “Democratic” in it, isn’t.
A priceless quote, and a cut above being the king of nothing…
King of the Retards was already taken. Besides, most of the retards I’ve known (outside of my profession) would have better sense than to choose B-rad for a king…
“Geez, Clint, you goin’ for a record? You had 4 in the bucket.”
Beats me, Patty Ann. That’s why I said WordPress has teh AIDS tonight. Sorry for the repeats everybody.
Ah, I’m in Michigan. I don’t get out to Illinois anymore. Used to hit Chicago once or twice a year, but my friend there moved his family to Bentonville when he got his company’s Wal-Mart contract.
I think it’s funny how every country with the name “Democratic” in it, isn’t.
I always thought it was “People’s” that was the indicator, though the old DDR followed your rule rather than mine.

“People’s” or “Democratic” – both work, on the they protest too much principle.
If I found a country, it’ll be a state. No republic, people’s this, or democratic that.
How about the Central Federal Union of the People’s Socialist Democratic Republics? Sounds innocuous enough. We might as well get used to it – looks like America is going down that path anyway.

Bob – We usually stay at NAS Jax. It’s always great spending time with old shipmates and recycling the sea-stories.
Brad,
here is a avatard you will like.
Had my first taste of rye whiskey tonight.
Plus whiskey punch, plus 3 glasses of white and 1 glass of red.
The whiskey was interesting I think I might like it, the white I had was freaking delicious and the red was decent. The whiskey punch was strong as hell, but that’s what happens when yours truly is trying to mix the shit w/ a water glass subbing as a shot glass into pitcher-sized portions.
What was the occasion, Tat?
And put your pants back on.
Tatts – How many Indians??
What was the occasion, Tat?
Locovore Field to Feast dinner at work. Basically schmoozing the donors. Excellent food.
And considering the taste of whiskey and the tall glass of punch were on an empty stomach I was pretty toasted before dinner, but not doing too bad now.
And I don’t wanna put my pants back on. I’m comfy.
Indians? It’s a fuckin Comanche war party.
heh
I was a little giggley as the guests were coming in so I found myself a quiet corner and didn’t embarrass anyone.
Sorry for the dead air folks, I have to step away for a while. I’ll try to be back in a bit. My Wife has a medical thing going down tomorrow am and is starting to get a bit anxious. I’ll stop back after I get our gear squared away for the early departure.
Family first, Bob.
I got nothing Xbrad, keep the one you have.

So, no tsunami. But looks like a tropical storm / typhoon will be smacking into us Saturday night.

Sohita, I’m flattered that you would even think to make that comparison.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had blue eyes.
They’ve been red for a long, long time now.
You mean did I direct any movies after I drugged and raped a 13 year old, pled guilty to it and fled to France?
Yes. “The Pianist II: Tank Driver’s Revenge”
Right back at you SohoS

I vote you keep the

Good night, Tat.

Yes, SohoS. A Bradley tank.
hey hey roams
so my MIL is taking me shopping tomorrow for new gowns to wear at home after surgery and to lunch afterward. Looking forward to that
Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle
(There’s a Bradley Cavalry Fighting Vehicle as well. It’s externally indistinguishable from the BIFV, and now most are just called BFVs).
Hi Sohos. No electronics night is over, everyone else is in bed, and I’m here to find the funneh. Or just abuse XBrad.
So, XBrad, why were you inquiring about my directorial prowess?
Roamy, XBrad abuses himself twice a day, whether he needs it or not.
Be sure to pick out something extra pretty when you shop Sohos. Pretty always makes me feel better
Sometimes even a dab of my favorite perfume picks up my spirits.
Whoever posted that journalists guide to firearms – thanks! That was hilarious!
Ric Locke is awesome. I should e-mail him.
I’m down to once a day, out here in the desert. It’s just too damn hot to do any exercise during the day.
Where are you xbrad? [the noobie asks sheepishly]
Sohos, I’ll be thinking good thoughts for you on Thursday. I know you’ll do just fine.
Check yer email, B-ard.
Masturbania, CA
Right now I’m in Palm Desert. Heading to Orange County tomorrow.
What is your favorite perfume, Cyn?
I dont know why but I am scared to death seriously panicked
Shalimar in the summer and Opium in the winter.
I feel like I am walking around outside myself
We’re praying for you, Sohita.
You’ll do fine.
Just lay off the booze and pills.
Bijon all year round
Find your most favorite memory and go there, Sohos.
Sohos, thinking about you and praying for peace for you.
It’ll be fine hon. It’s just stirrin up some bad memories is all.
Just lay off the booze and pills.
you mean quit breathing? (No really newbies)
Good perfume choices!
Sohita, everything’s gonna work out just fine!!!
{{{{Hugs}}}}}
Now relax, and quit worrying, okay?
(No really newbies)=NOT REALLY NEWBIES
SohoS, I have a feeling that, whatever you think could happen…. if it was going to, it would have already. You’ve been through a ton, taken the worst, and dealt with it with grace.
Whatever happens, you’ll deal with it. My guess is: You go in, get fixed, and get better.
I quit wearing perfume when Mom developed asthma and don’t even have any in the house. I have no idea what I would wear.
do you know that is easier said then done? I keep having panic attacks…bad ones and when I try to tell count or anyone else they get weird
Bijon…sounds verrry nice. What does it smell like? Flowers or muskie?
I think that is it Dave…I think it is making me remember the pain and fear etc from the hospital. I AM FREAKING THE FUCK OUT AND NOBODY KNOWS
muskie
Romy, just go w/this tried and trusted approach: your own pheromones.
That always worked fine by me … just saying.
I am so scared
You can’t deny how you feel, Sohos, but I look forward to your post saying, “Oh my gosh, it went so well. The doctor said it couldn’t have been better!”
“And I won’t set off the air port security metal detectors anymore!”
my boys are home from karate, and fighting before bedtime. brb
Mare, thanks for the suggestion—I’m emailing PJ.
sorry
Sohita, I know what the fear of the unknown is all about.
I don’t have a good prescription to curing it.
But I can sympathize.
Sohos, you need one of those relaxation CDs or the right iPod playlist of soothing music. Listen to Americano (just this once) – you have the people with the right skills working in your best interest.
Okay, Sohos, no more borrowing trouble. None of us want you to do that. Instead, we’ll all just take over the burden of worrying for you until your surgery is finished so you no longer have to. There … now you just relax.
It’s kinda like reliving a car wreck, it just makes us feel freaky and shit.
Call your doc tomorrow and get a few Xanax. That’ll help some.
Hi, Patty Ann. Have I told you today how great you are?
SohoS, your treatment plan involves getting better, traveling to the Asia-Pacific region, and engaging in some light sodomy with a scuba instructor.
(Hey, the rocket scientist said you had to listen to me).
Also, this is the nice thing about irrational fears. They’re not rational. They just are what they are.
You don’t have to splain em. You get a pass.
Shoot, I wish I was there to give you hugs and hold your hand. And kick your ass and tell you what I said before, the worst is behind you. The worst happened. It only gets better now. A progression of success. You survived a horrible accident and you didn’t lose your leg then and you won’t now.
‘night all.
Sweet dreams, Clint.
Pound some Val-U-Rite, Sohos.
I said once, Americano. Now we go back to ignoring you.
Roamy, you didn’t say which once.
“I think it is making me remember the pain and fear etc from the hospital.”
Yes, it’s like having a second baby after a very difficult first labor. But in your case, Sohos, it will be different operations and less “tissue” healing so to speak.
Do you know how long you will be in the hospital?
Take Dave’s suggestion to call your doc in the morning for Xanax or something. With all the medicine’s we have at our disposal today, the stress is just not worth it. For tonight, try some Benadryl. Yes, benadryl–it works for stress and to calm you down. Trust me on this one. Even ER’s use this to calm you down.
I think you mentioned you had a VERY good doctor too.
Dave is right. You feel what you feel. We will listen and you can “walk” through your fears with us.
look I know I am projecting onto yall…I am doing exactly what Dave said and reliving what the LAST surgery meant to me. I am scared shitless. I am afraid I am going to lose my leg…after that I am afraid if I don. thent what t he DR says will probably happen is that it will break again…gross….I am scared I wont wake up and Nina???????? this is hell and I am admitting my fears here and I shouldnt especially with everything else….
Clint, you keep flirting with Cyn and messing with Roamy’s pheromones, I’m kicking you to the curb.
Sohos, we all know you’re going to be better than fine, but you can tell us all your fears so you can confront them and then they won’t be so scary.
but it makes me look weak patty ann
Sohos, it makes you HUMAN. And we are all great listeners.
We love you and don’t want you scared. Or hurt. Or lonely.
“I am admitting my fears here and I shouldnt especially with everything else….”
Rubbish!! You’re going through some serious stuff too. This is important this is your body and that really matters. Keep talking out your fear.
Not weak; honest and trusting, Sohos.
Sohos, you’ll be okay. God looks after drunks, fools, and little children.
(And blondes with big ones, too.)
Weak??? I don’t think so. I saw the pictures of your leg. You’ve been through a lot. NOBODY would want to go back there.
Sohos, If you do lose your leg, will you change your name to Eileen, or Peg?
Brad? STFU.
You know I was kidding.
I think you’ve been unbelievably strong through this whole process.
Hey, they have to wake you up.
It’s like a hospital rule or some shit. I know I read it.
Also, gown ties in the back babe. Just a little reminder. Don’t wanna miss that one.
I’m thinking I can do more with Eileen
I will say some calming words for you tonight and for your surgery later this week.
good night all
Dave, if she misses that one, all you’ll hear in that hospital will be ‘THUD’s.
“Also, gown ties in the back babe.”
Good point. No peeks.
“I’m thinking I can do more with Eileen”
I think so too. Good choice.
Brad, I was kidding that time!!!
Well, I’m an ass man, myself, so the whole ‘gown ties in back’ works pretty well for me.
Hahahaha, that reminds me of when I visited a friend in the hospital years ago. He was still loopy from whatever good drugs they had given him, and he was wearing two hospital gowns, one backwards. He decided to take off the backwards one, and I said, “you’re not going to moon me, are you?” So he did.
Moooooooon River….
thanks for listening and letting me freak
Did you say something Sohos?
Sorry, I missed that.
Just be sure to follow your PT regimen TO THE LETTER.
hell no dave I never say anything
He decided to take off the backwards one, and I said, “you’re not going to moon me, are you?” So he did.
Did you kick him in the ass? It’s not like he would’ve felt it, after all.

So. My first trip to the woods with the Army after basic training. A month in the woods and fields of Molokai Island. Dirty and dusty and hot, hot, hot. Lots of spiders, too, just in case I wasn’t miserable enough. Never a hot meal, always 100lbs on my back. Very little sleep, and that on a rocky ground. Only two quarts of water per day.
We chanced one day to be passing through a pineapple field. Lo and behold, a water spigot. We immediately refilled our canteens. Then we decided that it was a fine time and place to take a bath. Butt nekkid in a field. Half my body red from the dust, the other half pasty white from not having seen the sun in weeks.
Wouldn’t you know it. A family of 5 comes riding right upon us on bikes. How would you like it if you took the family on a dream vacation and stumbled across 30 nekkid, dirty, smelly guys who kept asking you if you could spare a sandwich.
Somewhere on the mainland, there’s a 30 year old woman who is still scarred by that horrible incident from her youth.
>> hell no dave I never say anything
Heh. *hugs* You’re probably gonna get some hot lookin physical therapist who gets all tongue-tied when it’s time for the leg stretching stuff.
You should wink at him them and totally fuck him up.
Sohos, be sure to tell Count that we do want lots of updates Thursday. He’s good like that.
then even
see, the m and the n are like right next to one another and…
ok mever nind
Sohos, some guys like their women asymmetrical.
(Having worked for 6 years with a guy who lost his leg to cancer (and has a really good sense of humor about it), I’ve learned lots of puns and zingers involving stumps and prostheses.)
Sean, he’d just gone through a liver biopsy for cancer. Life was kicking him hard enough. He doesn’t remember it at all and blushes quite prettily when I tease him about it.
Brad, that was actually a funny story.
Sohos, sleep well tonight.
night goobers
Well, Roamy, the fact that he’s still here to blush after all these years (and showing you his ass) means that things worked out, so that’s good.
PattyAnn, not only was it funny, it was absolutely true.
We really did hit them up for their picnic lunch.
I told him…he is right here and he knows to give updates
Brad, that was actually a funny story.
Like I said earlier, the end is nigh.
Sean, Stage IV throat cancer, chemo killed his gallbladder, two surgeries to remove the cancer and the affected lymph nodes, scars from the 45 radiation treatments, 100+ pounds of weight loss, and his last scan came back clear. His motto was and is “Surrender is NOT an option!” I am damn glad he is on our side.
goodnight yall
{{{HUGS}}}
Be well, Sohos.
Good night, sohos.
Sleep really, really well, Sohos. Dream of skipping through a nice meadow.
His motto was and is “Surrender is NOT an option!” I am damn glad he is on our side.
Sounds like a trooper. I doubt he would’ve minded it you had kicked him in the ass. He prolly would have laughed in retrospect.
Good night, Sohos.
(((((hugs)))))
trouper?
All this girl on girl action. Wow.
Only I can kill a thread with Mare-SohoS action. Then again, perhaps everyone’s in their bunks.
So, did B-rad ever find a new avatard? Did Americano have to head for high ground with his bevy of busty Filippinas? Was Dirk finally cleared of the charges that he shot Penelope’s lover, Adrian?
*dramatic organ sting*
Tune in to “Days of Our Douche” for the answers to these and many other questions!
Sean, hahahaha!!!

Good one, Xbrad. And on that note, bedtime. See y’all tomorrow / later today.
Today, my beautiful Chuckie and I moved on to different places.
I love you Chuck.
Glad you liked it, Roamy.
Aside from the actual tragedies that have happened as of late, this place would make a pretty funny soap opera…
Will Mesa be able to count his dick?
Can PJM figure out how many children she actually has?
Will Patty Ann and Sean ever actually talk?
Can Roamy stop the launch before her husband, Lance McCool, blasts off for the Moon with her rival, Rita Whoreston?
Where is Bart’s corpse actually buried?
Jeebus, b-ill shakes, I was just kidding.
Is Chuck in a good home?
Is Chuck a cat, or is this a Justin type situation
(and which answer is gheyer?)
Sean, I’ve had the Shakes the Clowne avatard for hours. You just now seeing it?
I just saw it at my place and cleared my cache here.
I’m assuming it was Pretty Ann’s endorsement that pushed you to use that.
Well, it wasn’t your charm.
Xbrad, no.
Hopefully at some point. He’s too old.
A friend let me in his home and then the basement flooded a few times over the summer and gray water flooded the basement.
After that, Chuck started peeing all over the basement.
He’s never done that before.
I tried cleaning it all up — he still kept doing it.
I took him to the vet and nothing stopped it.
I took him to a no kill shelter today with a donation.
I’m wrecked.
Mesa, I’m sorry.
Before you all make fun of me for loving a cat — he’s been my one and most loving constant for the last ten years.
I’ve had dogs, I’ve had cats.
Chuck is the best pet I’ve ever had.
He was just cool.
Thanks, xbrad.
Just bustin’ chops today, Mesa. Because today is chop-bustin day.
I am sorry that you are sad, and hope you feel better soon.
Doesn’t mean you’re not tehghey, but it does mean I was just bustin chops.
(and which answer is gheyer?)
You know — I like you.
But, I also know I could take you apart with my bare hands.
I would do that right now if you said that to me.
With pleasure.
Good luck with yer cat, Mesa.
Just typed that comment before your last two.
Not a chop busting moment.
My Green Beret buddy took me out tonight in memory of Chuck. We’re funny that way.
That said, I know that you were not being mean.
Sorry.
If I were within range, Mesa, I’d be buying you round after round, and you prolly wouldn’t want to kick my ass.
Again, sorry about your sadness.
True.
Thanks.
I still might want to kick your ass, but it would probably about something completely different and well earned.
Take care, friend.
Sorry, mesa, I thought you still had Chuck.
My bad.
Pets are the best people.
I love people and I’m lucky enough to have some great friends. All of you included.
I’ve had a couple of great pets, and there is such a bond.
My cat trusted me as I dropped him off today at the shelter.
That destroys me.
In light of everything else that has happened this week == not important.
Just know that I can count on you late night guys.
Thank you.
There’s a surprising number of cat guys here.
You, me, Catman, Sox…
This week sucks.
I’m starting over.
YOU’RE ALL DOUCHEBAGS.
I’m also getting a kick out of the fact that my new pocket sized GPS is more accurate and has better resolution than the fucking suitcase thing that we lugged all over the fucking jungle and doesn’t take twenty minutes to find three fucking satellites.
Never underestimate the power of a bunch of sonsofbitches who hate nearly everyone except their friends.
YOU’RE ALL DOUCHEBAGS.
FUCK YOU!!!!
Buy me a ticket so I can come hang out and go diving with you.*
Got all my own navy rated gear. It’s old, but it works. And — it’s shiny.
*ok, I’ll pay half.
Mesa, we didn’t even get GPS until just before I went to recruiting. I was a hell of a lot faster with a map and protractor than damn near anyone with a GPS.
Sean, I’ve found your kindred spirit:
B-ard, I’m just gonna ignore that, seeing as how I won this thread.
X, we got the cool toys — they still sucked.
It was amazing that we could have real time comms and near real time coords from two thousand miles away.
Best part — got to go home on weekends. It wasn’t that far, not complaining,
I heard GPS is collapsing, and we might not have enough working satellites up to keep the system up.
Wish our rocket types were here to confirm that.
First time I saw a back-pack SATCOM I just about shit my pants. A kid from the 10th Mountain showed it to me and called home just to check in.
I was still using a PRC-77 that might get 4 miles range. On a good day. If I yelled really loud.
No, ‘cano.
they are facing some challenges getting money to run the program the way they want to, but there is NO WAY they will let it collapse.
The entire US military runs on GPS. Everything. Everything. The bombs are guided by it. The maps are run by it.
Hell, you can’t tune a radio without it.
In fact, it’s a major concern because it is a huge potential “single point failure” for the whole military.
I’m out, gonna watch hippies fail over and over and almost die in the last few episodes of season two of Whale Wars.
They really are so bad at what they do that I almost feel sad. Can’t plan to take a shit and will also argue about it merits.
Ooh rah!
There are “llites” up there that “no one” knows about, for fine tuning navsat and microwave comms.
The shit works now and will continue to work.
Funny thing is, they got a libtard USN bosuns mate on the bridge for one season and they played up her twenty three year old skills until she started disagreeing with EVERYTHING that they did.
She was put off the ship.
Heh, they just fired flares after they crossed another ship’s bow and they feel wronged.
Retards with boats.
Please, please, please let them cross the bow of a vessel fishing and get sliced in half.
Best quote from the show so far — and it’s halfway through the second season.
“The Sea Shephards have failed EVERY time they have tried to foul the harpoon ship props or to slow down the factory ship in any way.”
Not a fan of whaling.
A HUGE fan of watching inept hippies almost kill themselves and then fail over and over.
MUAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Their fucking inflatable got fouled on the same line that they tried to foul a 250′ ship with.
And, they’re yelling at each other about who’s fault it is.
Priceless.
I’m against whaling.
But very pro-death-to-hippies.
You’d think by now they’d start to figger out they have their heads fully inserted into their rectums.
I’m against whaling.
But very pro-death-to-hippies.
Then call it xbardtc.
damn italics!

*** Puts Yellow Rose on Counter for Miss Sohos ***
God Bless Kind Lady. Its gonna be O.K.
Carin, if it ain’t Grape Jelly on the Snuggie, I’m afraid to ask.
Mesa, sorry to hear about Chuck.
First a Typhoon, then a Tsunami. What disaster awaits Americano next? A visit from Dave (Slippery When Wet) in Texas?
Sorry to hear about Chuck, mesa. I had a dog that was with me through some personal hard times and that unconditional affection a good pet gives can come in mighty handy sometimes.
morning. yes it is.
I found my coffee.
Mesa, sorry to hear about chuck.
a TINY TINY kitten appeared at my husband’s new warehouse- CRYING outside. TINY. Husband chased it around until he caught it, and then got it some food and water. Remember, we currently have FOUR cats.@@
Anyway, one of the employees had JUST bought a house (first house) – and had said he wanted a cat.
He took it home last friday.
I’m giving xbrad’s new avatar a thumbs down.
I still haven’t seen the new avatar, and I cleared my cash and everything. XBrad’s a DOUCHEBAG
This is what my weekend might look like:
http://metocph.nmci.navy.mil/jtwc/warnings/wp2009.gif
Sox, if you still have some coffee around, I’ll have a new poat up soon.
I think I have a link to a picture of the typhoon projection in the spabucket.
The spabucket? I wanna go in the spabucket…
as a matter of fact, I have one right here. C’mon over.
New poat!
Mesa, sorry about Chuck.
Mesa, sorry about Chuckie. Yes, you are important, too. All of you are important.
Mesa, adding my thoughts as well. Sorry to hear that.
