Okay, this has been a pretty chewy week...

...with lots of meaty, portentous posts and comments - and not enough silliness.

So. Silliness! There is a photo below the fold in the Flash Traffic/Extended Entry provided by Boquisucio. It's pretty much safe for most work environments, but... it's down there so no one is embarrassed when they go to a co-worker, "Hey! Lookit this cool website I found, that got lots of good military stuff on ...GAAAAAAAACK!"

Boq proposes a caption contest. I'll get you started, with a caption that will give you a clue, too.

"An Israeli General Staff officer, mistaking the movie "300" for a documentary, introduces proposed changes to the IDF combat uniform..."

That oughta do it. Whoa! Don't get between the Flash Traffic and Werekitty and Princess Crabby! Dangit. Now I'm going to have to replace the door!

Sanger - read everything you mentioned, and would add Hermann Goering and Sam Clemens on the river...

As they stand overlooking Berkley, Private Smith shows solidarity with code pink and political enlightenment by vowing to never shave his legs.

Oh, and here's a caption, not original with me I'm afraid: "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro!"

Relax, Sanger, it's ohh-kayy. Welcome to the quadrangle of earnest weirdness on the intartubez, composed of the milbloggers, the autistics, the gun nuts, and the SF fans. All the best, Tregonsee.

JMH wrote: "Tarl Cabot Returns!" Wow!!! I got a genuine flash of real adolescent sexual thrill memories when I read that name!!! I read Tarnsman of Gor in the late 60s or early 70s (I was 10 in 66), I think, and most of the rest of that series until well into the mid 70s, I am sure. I thougt they were just the greatest--I loved them, but I haven't returned to them or even thought about them for a couple of decades at least! Just wow! really! Of course, I've read a lot of 'good' stuff in my life, but I have always been partial to trash fiction too. I was a real fan of Mack Bolan until he started working for the government, of Sadler's Casca, of the Lensmen, Doc Savage, and almost every single Star trek book written up to about 1995. And as much as I dislike Hubbard, I think Battlefield Earth was among the best SF of its kind, at least as good as Ender's Game, which may be the best SF book of its genre ever written. And of course, Nathan Brazil, and Dragons of Pern, and all of Darkover too. And lots, lots more..... Sad, huh? And now you all know my dirty little secret... Even so, thanks for dredging that one up, JMH!

Sgt. Amos to Cpl. Eyal: "Next Guinea I hear bleating "BUTTCHEEKS-BUTTCHEEKS", will end up in tomorrow's stew.

PVT: "Sarge, can't we just call the MPs and let them catch the guys who stole our uniforms?" SGT: "No. Keep looking." ----------------- Alternate: Having failed to defeat the IDF in battle, Hamas scores a success in the first of what it promises will be many 'embarassment raids.'

On the way back from the showers, LCPL F and PVT J realized that they had forgotten just ONE (essential) piece of gear... I'm right - see, there are shower shoes!!!

"Luckily for Privates Lapid and Eshkol, the IDF moved to a 'Don't ask, don't tell' policy years ago."

I think he meant, "Luckily for Lapid and Eshkol's privates......." ML

Cpl. Eyal to Sgt. Amos: "Hey Sgt. weren't these new Cammies supposed to make us invisible? Or are they just invisible BDU's?"

Unable to afford uniforms for their newly-minted security guards, Berkeley was able to come up with marshmallow shooters, tin foil hats, and those cute lil' man-purses.

Clearly, an illustration from the IDF field manual on "Nude Beach Infiltration".

Soldier #1: I swear, these budget cuts are making it harder and harder for me to get a new uniform. Soldier #2: Shut up and keep an eye out for President Clinton.

In keeping with the Elapid theme as of late... Sgt. Amos & Cpl. Eyal stalk out on patrol in search for the elusive Black Mamba.

Brings new meaning to the "Reporting as ordered, Sir" tag to get to the comments, doesn't it? The Armorer must have been just out of camera range..............?

Wow. Are those guns circumsized? Or are they just happy to be in a firefight?
