Pink said to me recently, we've come a long way. So that set me reminiscing...
Who among us can forget that day in January when Girlene asked to be added to the Haditha Marine Ping List?
Or when lilycicero wondered what "ping" and "BTTT" meant (but hoped they were crude)?
Or when pinkpanther111 showed up and helped us find biographical material, or when she spread the word about the defense fund here and here?
All that got me thinking about some of our "firsts".
Like the first defense fund thread.
And the first posts by Darryl, Theresa (on our totally fun "A Haditha Marine Father Has a Question for Alan Colmes" thread), and Mrs W.
So I agree with pink (want to see her first post ever?), we have come a long way. And it's about time we said so! Also, with the SSgt Wuterich hearing coming up, I figured we could use a thread to just hang out when nothing else is happening. It beats FRmail--which sometimes gets a little hard to follow.
So here's to us and to seeing an end to this job we started!
Greetings.
I see you really like the USMC.
Welcome to FR.
Is a wiesenheimer anything like a Weimaraner? Just askin.
Nope. Actually, if a wiesenheimer was a dog, he’d be a Jack Russell (though I’ve also known some Golden Labs who acted like wiseguys).
Thanks for the welcome! I like it here already.
Maybe I could be Agent Scuttlebutt?
LOL!
Now I am going to need more memory, it’s the duel of the aliases.
Roger that, Agent Doodah.
Holy COW twin ROVER! When I saw your email I thought it would be funny to give you a rank with Scuttlebutt because you said: MAJOR Scuttlebutt....kind of like your Rear Admiral RumpShaker....
Yes...Agent Doodad
and Double Agent Scuttlebutt
PS..I hope you have HBO and I hope you can watch the James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano) ALIVE from Iraq......My favorite was a Marine Ryan....
ZigZag? Scuttlebutt, here. No HBO so I’ll have to look on YouTube later. I’ve never actually seen the Sopranos but I heard it was a great series.
You will have to wait for DVD in Oct.
It’s called “Alive Day: Memories from Iraq”
As far as rank goes, Private Scuttlebutt also works.
Ya..ping me to tivo Design Star...Is that today or Sunday?
I knew a girl in the Army and her last name was Partee...that’s right she was at one time,
Private Partee :) Honest.
I found a site that really lays out in lavender the propaganda and bias underpinnings of our vaunted MSM. There are a few streaming videos that explain it far better than anything I've seen elsewhere; if you have a half hour free stop in at The Second Draft ^ and watch the first movie on the left pane.
Have a great weekend.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to check it out!
Could have been worse for your pal. She might have joined the Navy and started as a seaman.
You really do think of everything don’t you?
Is it time for the show?
I think we should have a DefendOurDoodad.com....
So if you have a boy scout knock on your door today selling popcorn you must treat yourself to a can of “Chocolate Crunch Popcorn”.....it’s the first day for selling so chances are you might get a few knockers.
(stop it now)
I was asleep when they came calling and they woke me up! Man, if I get my hands on those knockers, I’ll show them a thing or two!
I am just checking to see if the Modies locked the green room.
I noticed your nerf football signed by Agent Tom Brady is missing. I think OJ broke in here before he went to Vegas.
No, so far the Green Room is still open. But, man, I’m going to miss that nerf football! And no surveillance video. Wish we had one of those Scan Eagle dealios!
We have a new agent....Agent Doohickey.
