Walk down memory lane when there's nothing in the news

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!

You DID go shopping. I saw the pictures.

[lilycicero]

I don’t shop for just anyone.

[RedRover]

Really? I thought you’d go shopping at the drop of a hat.

[lilycicero]

Nope...it’s a chore.

[lilycicero]

whoa whoa whoa...wrong page comes up....let me try that again

[RedRover]

Have you been nipping into the rum rations again, shippy?

[lilycicero]

They say a woman who drinks rum knows what she wants.

A woman who drinks beer wants to be one of the guys.

Ya...I don’t drink.

I took the first file I clicked on.

[RedRover]

And the name of that robot would be...?

[lilycicero]

Servo.

[RedRover]

You mean the one you’re using as an avatar? Your answer is “Servo”, is it?

[lilycicero]

No...the bubble head...the one I should have used is Servo.

I took Crowe. We can switch every Sunday and confuse our “Friends”. I have 2.

E-mail, my savage pumpkin.

[Girlene]

Okay, savage pumpkins. Sending a tune your way, tonight.

Hey, that was great! I never heard Simply Red before. I really liked it!

[lilycicero]

Wait for me, I haven’t watched it yet.

[lilycicero]

I picture Red to look like that. Red, am I right????

Is there a group called Simply Girlene?

[Girlene]

He’s been around forever. He’s got some more rockin’ stuff which is okay, but my favorite of his songs are the more bluesy/jazzy songs. Here’s one just for you, Red. If you’ve ever had to be away from your missus, you can probably relate.
