**** OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINES THREAD - LITE ****

All of us ^ | 6/10/05 | F/A

[Fierce Allegiance]

TheBigB has given me the go-ahead to put up this weeks OFST. Thanks, B! Hurry back!

Last week we had some rough spots, so R-Q-TEK86 had the following ground-rules suggestion for this weeks thread:

By entering this silly thread, I promise to…

Honor the spirit of silliness. Eat Spam, eggs, Spam, Spam and Spam. Not ask to see any of Jersey Republican Biker Chick’s body parts. Stand on my desk, flap my arms and make sounds like a chicken. Spew milk through my nose at something ArGee posts. Make at least one blonde joke. Post a joke that makes people groan. Ponder the question “Is ‘Civil Engineer’ an oxymoron?” Try to solve the mystery of who ctlpdad really is. Make a reference to AYBABTU. Disavow everything that Howard Dean stands for. Post a “Pearls Before Swine” cartoon (Dog Gone only). Make the guy in the next cubicle wonder what’s so funny. Post a picture of my favorite refreshing beverage. Quack like the Aflac duck. Not post gratuitous cheesecake or beefcake pictures. Tell JimWforBush a joke about engineers. Make a pun. Use “series” instead of “serious” and “hugh” instead of “huge”. Ask r-q-tek86 if all architects are gay. Stand facing the back of the elevator on the way back from lunch. Post a picture that made me snort the first time I saw it. Do a silly walk. Make an obscure reference to “Young Frankenstein”. Ignore this thread.

What kind of men do I hang with?

Well, the other day at work I was in the predicament of having to lift a very heavy box, and I said to one of the men in my office, "I need a man."

To which he replied, "You've got the wrong woman."

no sh*t.

LOL So all of those times that my husband told me that he was out to sea, he was really serving time for heroin possession? The wife is always the last to know.

I'll get even with him though. I have short hair so I'm going to start indulging my "inclinations" while he's gone.

Are any of you ladies interested? ;-)

[Dead Corpse]

Officers, if I remember correctly, weren't supposed to get them where they were visible. I knew at least one WM Zero that had one where you had to be a "close" friend to see it.

Pleasure to Serve. I was honored they accepted me. Not everyone makes the cut.

[Dead Corpse]

Hehhe... I like that.

[Dashing Dasher]

Same here!

Your Element Is Fire

Your passion and emotion are as obvious as the brightest flame. You make sparks fly, and your passion always has the potential to burst out. You are exciting and creative - and completely unpredictable. You sometimes exercise control, and sometimes you let yourself go. Friends describe you as sensitive, spirited, and compulsive. Bright and blazing with intensity, you seem mysterious and moody to many.

What's Your Element?

Several of my college classmates whom I am still in contact with are officers in the Marines, and many NAVY guys on assignment with the Marines. Very few have tattoos.

On one summer cruise I went on as a MIDN 3/C, the big thing was going around to see who'd have the courage to get a tat. One guy on our boat came back proudly with one, and peeled off the bandage to show the classic, cartoonish "MOM" on a heart with an arrow through it.

"Why did you get that?" we all asked him.

"Ah's gonna git mah girl's name tattooed thar, but ah mat break up with har. I ain't nevah gonna break up with muh Mawm."

Classic.

[JimWforBush]

OMG, I have to call my doctor quick, LOL

[Jet Jaguar]

LOL!!!!!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

A friend that was a tattooist had that on his cards.

He died a few years back from Lyme disease. He got it originally before they knew what Lyme disease was and by the time they found out what it was, it had destroyed his nervous system and he was wheel chair bound.

Well, the other day at work I was in the predicament of having to lift a very heavy box, and I said to one of the men in my office, "I need a man."

You live in San Francisco, too?

[EX52D]

LOL!

An unfortunate Person -Farting Personality is one who tries to fart but Sh*s instead. A Miserable Person - one who truly enjoys to fart but cannot. A foolish person - is one who suppresses a fart for hours. An Aquatic Person is one who farts in the bath then bursts the bubbles.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Most of my fellow coasties were wussbags compared to almost all of the Marines I know. I graduated #1 in my Basic class, and it wasn't as hard as my lacrosse practices. Then again, my lacrosse teams won 102 out of 104 games. (we lost 2 championship games)

[Hemingway's Ghost]

I'll get even with him though. I have short hair so I'm going to start indulging my "inclinations" while he's gone.

WHO-AH! You gonna go to an Indigo Girls concert?

[najida]

No wonder I've been having trouble reading the tylenol bottle!

[papertyger]

I like this better. "A tattoo is putting a little bit of your inner self on your outer self."

Somehow I don't think there are that many people that have barbed wire wrapped around their inner selves... though you'd never know it by the millions that fancy it on their upper arms.

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

And I forgot to extend my invitation to you, Sweetie. ;-)

[Dashing Dasher]

...if left untreated, you will go blind

I'll probably die too, but I'll die happy!
