dalem Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Okay, last month we Minnesotans (i.e. the True Core of the MBT) were cavorting on the water in the good graces of Lars and his LadyFriend. Then Papa Khann had one too many Cosmopolitans I guess, and developed a "fascination" for drunken garden gnomes. I was going to try and come up with witty captions for the horror presented below, but alas, my mind is but a barren plain, swept by the dry winds of despair at the memory of what occurred. Mayhap dear Persephone can "fix" the horror? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching as geckos and palmetto bugs fight each other for the sad remnants of your lunch, a few crusts of white bread, perhaps a sliver of olive loaf. Yours is a simple existence, isn't it, Jim? Somehow, it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that there is anything wrong with that... Here now, she was with the French lad, now wasn't she? How rude would that have been, hitting on the woman with her husband standing right there? Besides, she seemed desperately concerned with where Orono was, and for the most part we didn't even know where we were. You certainly didn't know where the boat was most of the time, and you were running it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, she seemed desperately concerned with where Orono was, and for the most part we didn't even know where we were. You certainly didn't know where the boat was most of the time, and you were running it. Did too. It was on the blue part of the map. So there.

The entertainment factor of just seeing an Aussie basketball team would alone be worth it. Not to mention that it would by default become the largest state, shutting up those snooty Alaskans and dropping Texas to a dismal third. No downside there. <font color=blue size=4>Thank you for reminding me of how much I enjoyed watching a basketball team from a country with a population of 4 million people (New Zealand) make it into the semifinals of the world cup, leaving the behind a giant like the US in the quater finals.

ng cavscout Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Offstralia joining the U.S.? God would not be so cruel. I already have to smell Minestroneans when the wind is from the west, and ILLannoyans fester to my south, now I am expected to pitch in when someone starts collecting for orphaned kangaroo's? Or pay the prison bills of some deviant Koala molester? They wouldn't bring the Kiwi's with them would they? Heck, while we are at it, why not let the Canadianinnys in? Alright, at least ABBA will always be Swedish. That is one thing they can't hang on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Shaw Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 [serious] Dear V00above ... it is a long standing and hallowed practice in the CessPool to mangle the names of SSNs. If you ever lose your attitude and become part of the thread your name will be spelled (by me at least) properly. Should you become a Squire of the CessPool or, later, a Knight, it will be properly spelt AND bolded. Others may follow these procedures or not at their whim. Some here call me Jo Xia, for example, others spell and bold my name, it's up to them. Jim Boggs was an SSN and his name was commonly spelt Gym Baggs ... not too mature perhaps but as Dave Barry once said ... You're only young once ... but you can be immature forever.You see it's all about having ... some fun. It's not consistently funny of course, sometimes it's not funny at all. It's frequently awash with "In References" that we don't feel obliged to explain to newcomers. We don't, after all, recruit anyone to join us. People can join, lurk or ignore us as they wish. We're just a small part of the BFC Combat Mission community, but we like it. If others choose NOT to enjoy us we encourage them to look elsewhere for their fun. If they choose to stay here they can expect some good natured taunting ... that is, after all, what we do. Your introduction to this thread indicated that you didn't care for the way we treated our Aussie comrades. Take a good look at this thread. We treat EVERYONE that way. I make sport of Minnesota and they make sport of Utah. I call Seanachai a gnome and he calls me a Mormon ... neither of which are true. I've know Mace for years now and consider him one of my best ... "mates" ... doubtless that will make him spew his Fosters ... not that there's anything wrong with that ... Australians drink too much anyway. Oh ... I bold the name of Australia to remind myself ... and them ... that SOME Americans remember the losses they suffered in Bali ... and thank them for their support of the war on terror. So you see ... we're swine ... but we like it that way. Your mileage, as they say, may vary. [/serious] Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
