OH!!!  I played left 4 dead the other day...

 

[Deano]

I played with myself the other day.

What's this "the other day" nonsense!

Hey, a friend of mine called, her son-in-law is a brand-new marine, and when he found out I had a standing invitation to go party with a gunny he instantly thought I was cool.  Good thing I didn't tell him much else about me!

 

[Wästed The Great]

Ha ha ha!!!!  LC, you are cool to us!

I played with myself the other day. 

Were you playing the divynls?

Hell Yeah! See if you can bring him with you to party when you come. It's always nice to have a good "initiation" for our new Marines (yes LC it is spelled with an "M" not an "m"  ) Hazing is still OK behind closed doors right?

Were you playing the divynls?

No, but I damned well should have been.

 

[Wästed The Great]

YEah, how can you play with yourself without that goin on?  Unless you are listening to some Manson...

 

[Deano]

Umm........, ........ no.

 

[Wästed The Great]

HAHAHA!!!  I know you won't listen to that!

So, California this weekend, huh?

 

[Deano]

Yeah, I guess. Daytona was so disappointing this year though.

Trivia: (no googling) - What USED to be the 2nd race of the year?

 

[Wästed The Great]

um, I think it was either Darlington or Rockingham.  I'm going with Rockingham.

You win a small prize. You want the ducky or the turtle?

 

[Wästed The Great]

Hmmm... well, I'd like a small, but beautiful potato.  But, I'll take the ducky.

You Marines and your proper nouns.  Unfortunately, he will not be present - he'll be in Southern Afghanistan at the time, it seems.

I think I've got a potato here for you, just don't tell the other kids.

That's fine, you wouldn't be able to hang with 2 Marines anyway LC. 
When I go over there again, I'll look for him. I'll let you know (approximately) when that will be.

I don't understand...... Why they're called Marines if they fight on dry land.........

 

[LooseCannon]

Because they didn't originally.

 

[Wästed The Great]

I figured it was because they are proving a point-- they are such bad-asses that they can call themselves what ever they want, and no-one will do anything about it.

 

[Deano]

We are part of the Department of the Navy SS ____no5. We started off fighting off of Naval ships (which we still could of course if there were ever any more good Naval battles). We are still very much amphibious though with our primary mission being securing beachheads from the sea. This mess right now is just different, that's all.

Imagine doing a combat boarding of an enemy aircraft carrier.  My dad's done combat boardings before, during interdiction in the Adriatic during Bosnia.
