Huh?

I'm a corporal and my profile says I've only got 61 Posts...

Unfair, but I like it. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

I feel for y'all, I really do. I just passed 550 Posts, and thought I'd get promoted from Major to Lt. Col. But no such luck; I'm still just an O-4.

This is not anything I wrote, but it was very amusing :

..........
When I split an infinitive then by ****** it STAYS SPLIT.

Any bets ?

Edit :
That may have gone over your heads. The women long ago wore CORSETS which were LACED up using TIES on WHALE bone STAYS. Women who were WELL endowed were constantle SPLITTING their STAYS.

I got a head ache for doing that. A storm front blew up. It is now thundering. Any minute now it will be raining cats and dogs. I expect that the power may temporarily fail. But I will be back after I take a break. In the mean time I am eating Premium Saltine Crackers and drinking water. Then I will take a shower.
It was a JOKE!

Since back arrow does not work, I suppose that I am supposed to post something here.
As I am 45 years old that may be the calibre of the gun I use. But since I smoke a 50 pipe machine gun while laying it on the line, I could do even more, without resort to a smoking gun Gunsmoke theme. As you may recall, I made an offer to trade in my collection for a $100000, which is a 21 bit address in hexadecimal. So I got a 21 gun salute and traded them lock stock and barrel in the smoke and mirrors for a map10a design staffed with a set of 10 foot poles to run the show. So you could say that thy rod and thy staff they confort me. But that is me and thee not I who am still sitting here shooting the breeze for lack of a better target. Since the light bulbs burned out I am now whistling in the dark.

You may notice that there are many elisions in what I write. This allows you to make up your own lies if you do not like to take the lie I tell lying down.

So by the way, what am I supposed to do next ? Feel free to answer as you please/like/prefer.

September 7th, 2001, 06:52 AM
I have it, or I have it not, this is much a do about nothing....

Edit :
If you would not touch that with a 10 foot pole, and fear to shake a spear, and do not care to shake a stick, because what I say sticks in your craw, do not call upon the law, because the law has less to fear even more than much such as this that and the other thing.

Feed a cue in here, because I am looking for promotion, and that is the topic of this thread.......

I suggest that you start taking your medication again. It really does help.

How gives a damn about rank? I didn't even pay any attention to it until I noticed I was a General. LOL. Me a General. I always considered myself Lord Atrocities, and not the lowely General Atrocities. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif LOL, http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

My Posts are always top-quality, so they should be worth more. Alas, they are not, and I see the less worthy but more loquacious promoted above me. How ironic, that perspicacity should be my undoing!
