Shaw , you insufferable boob!!! Only you would seek to further confuse the already muddy waters with your arcane reference to the gradations of Scout hierarchy. You still haven't answered my riddle. [ February 12, 2006, 11:34 AM: Message edited by: Nidan1 ]

Wrong!!!!! Haven't you heard of the M-24 Cub Pack Automatic Weapon?

As I have stated before you guys are getting sucked in by (Insert Current Forum Profile Name Here). Have fun...This is getting good, and there is not much else to do on a snowy Sunday afternoon with no football...unless you are into girls olympic hockey, those Canadian chicks rule on the ice!!!! Question: What is the difference between the Marine Corps and the Cub Scouts? Extra credit for those who are not Marines and know the answer to this one. Also it would be great if you guys could learn how to use the Forum UBB code...it would make this hilarious thread a lot easier to read for us older guys. :eek:

I find it interesting that Gas Mask's posting style waivers from downright illiterate, to quite intelligent and grammatically correct from one paragraph to another. This reminds me of the posting style of a former member of these forums, who has been banned on several occasions as different personas. You can see I made a comment very early in this thread to indicate my suspicions. While I was in the Marine Corps a long time ago, I realize that it is easy to look up stuff on the internet, especially the significance of Tun Tavern, etc. So just knowing some Marine history wouldn't impress me much. If a contemporary Marine started grilling me about modern Marine Corps tactics, weapons and terminology, I might not be able to respond. I do have a DD214 and an Honorable Discharge certificate to prove my bona fides, plus I'm not spouting any crap that I have to back up. I think that Gas Mask is way over the top, and in keeping with my suspicions he is doing it on purpose. I could be wrong, but so far he has not convinced me that he is on the level.

Right Mace, ...here ya go mate, I hope this helps.

Just what we need...another one

You know, this joke would almost have had a chance if I hadn't already mentioned I was barefoot. And if somebody else had typed it, of course. </font>

Did you pass all of your exams young Minh ?? I dont want to see you flipping burgers in some Belgian suburb...make something of yourself.

I agree with Lady Bugged. The barrel sure looks as if it has the muzzle brake of the 75mm, which was fitted on later models including the MKVII. What one can see of the turret makes it appear to be a Churchill, absolutely no way for me to tell if its a Crocodile.

He rarely, if ever posts in here....it was something about the toilet seats I think.

No I don't, you Bay City Rollers fan boy! (Yeah, that was pretty harsh, but sometimes you just have to make your point.) </font>

Dogs are great, I love them.

Well then, I have you too. Does that make us one big happy family now? What the Hades are you talking about? </font>

The guy you made the bet with.......he's Kuwaiti right?, or Australian....no one who knows anything about football would give those odds. Maybe he's a spook, one of those black ops guys...he just joshing you right? He'll be somewhere near Tora Bora by Saturday, you'll never see him again. Ha!

Hey Boo that is so true, that word "alond" is one of those words that can make modern speakers quake in their boots, while trying to fathom the implications of its usage in even the most common of contexts. You have really pointed out something that needs to be addressed at the highest levels of colloquial usage. Remember if we dont take charge of our language the terrorists will win. </font>

That sounds like a real challenge! Not like the "what passes for a real challenge, but is really a lot of verbosity and bloviation", so send me a set up for CMBB, a scenario or QB, your choice, we'll discuss the particulars over a spot of tea and some caviar.

Who is?

Yeah, well I was a mechanical type person around Turkey in 825 ... so I looked it up ... So ... mechanical type / mathematician ... close enough ... Turkey / Baghdad ... check, there's always some slop in these things you know ... bottom line ... Nidan1 (as in the ARABIC number ONE) ... you owe me BIG TIME. Joe </font>

I was an Italian farmer or weaver in the 1500's.

Thank the gods that we are not living in some Third World **** hole, eh Seanachai? In what other land could you get such a breakfast? I'll wager, no where else!

Or I could super size it for you?

Is this satifactory Sahib?

Pay no attention to the fool behind the curtain....

Quite, you could probably cram a side of bacon down that pie hole, without so much as a slight burp. I would not want to be the one who has to feed you. rleete might be up to the task, but I wouldn't trust that black hearted reprobate as far as I could kick him. He would probably over cook the eggs.
