Today's FEEBLE
YOKE :
Two rabbits were being chased by a pack of wolves. The wolves chased the rabbits into a thicket. After a few minutes, one rabbit turned to the other and said,
"Well, do you want to make a run for it or stay here a few days and out number them?"

Good morning Everyone. A special Good Morning to all of our AWESOME military and our allies. Thank you. Thank you.Thank you.
Good morning Chef Spotsy. Thank you for opening the doors to the Canteen this morning? I see we've been busy already. Everyone must really be hungry today. Let's see what are the choices today? Hmmmmmm, I prefer the bacon with my pancakes.
You notice, I hope, that my bacon is in a V sign? This is for VICTORY!
Now, I see some familiar faces this morning, so let me go make my rounds before it is time to get "down" (in the salt mines that is....LOL). And, until I get back I want everyone out there to join us and chow down.
Well, it's Pancake Wednesday again in the Canteen, and Sarge is ordering up Steak & Eggs, this morning - YBnormal, right?
Another day in the cubes, as we wait for the orders to come. Now, I can't help but wonder: how many FReepers have gone, or have returned, from The War? Our good FRiends, KJFine, Armyboy, and Txradioguy, have returned, of course. Hijinx is taking a break from his support career. Tonkin, Darkwing, Arrowhead, Jet Jag, USAF_TSGT, among others, are currently doing the deal. How many others, I wonder? We need a Roll Call, Folks, whatcha think?
Well, let's get the Personals squared away:
TONKIN/SPOTSY: Another Pancake Thread! And it's looking good already! Chocolate Espresso Pancakes, eh? Yummers...
TIAMAT: GET IN HERE!
KATHY: Hey, you only missed me by a few minutes last night, but there's always today...
TOMKOW: Haven't seen that Canteen group photo in a while! Who ARE all those people, anyway?
Sarge will be in the area all day, so Let's Have Fun!
SARGE
DISCLAIMER: If you'd like to be on/off Sarge's Canteen Roll Call, FReepmail with details!
