Happy Birthday, Armorer!

July 29, 2008 | | Comments (32)
There are no candles, but this was definitely the coolest cake I found (high res here).  Guess there can't be any birthday kisses since I can't invade your personal space.  Oh well.

You can't say I'm impatient this time......it's 2322 here in Boston.

*thinking rude things about BCR*

While I was busy fixing up Maggies' Mess instead of posting the cut-resistant gloves I found...  :P

To help you go back and retrieve your H&I Fires posts after someone stomps all over them...

*looks around innocently*

Why don't we just all armor ourselves in heavy mail and plate?

Happy Birthday, Sir. Hope you like the shotgun, although I see Military.com's morning brief has an article on it.
It's been an honor to have made your aquaintence, and to have you attend my rally.
Good Stuff.

John,

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag!

LOL @ FbL - "Maggie's Mess"??  I could see it, you were the one who couldn't.  Although I like the sound of it......."Chief's Mess"......"Maggie's Mess"..........mmmmmm

Ymarsakar - "Why don't we just all armor ourselves in heavy mail and plate?"

Ummmmm, cause I don't wear anything that a) covers my cleavage, unless I am in Mass or b) takes more than 30.8 seconds to get off.

Frank?  Second language?  Is that because Obama thinks it's important?
 
By fdcol63 on July 30, 2008 8:32 AM
Ja! Ich werde zum Präsident Obama fertig.

So, the reason the Scottish flag is flying o'er the ramparts is...?

We drink to your coffin! May it be built from the wood of a hundred year old oak tree that I shall plant....tomorrow. Here's to a long life and a merry one. A quick death and an easy one. A pretty girl and an honest one. A cold pint-- and another one!

Chief - What part of "this was the coolest cake", don't you get?  I mean, criminy, it's not an islamic crescent!

Frank - I gotta get BeerGirl to translate for me, my second language consists of slang from Charlestown that only helps me communicate with my sisters and cousins.

Happy Birthday John!
 
By MaryAnn on July 30, 2008 9:25 AM
Frank, das bleibt alles unter uns...  I translate nothing ;-)
 
By John of Argghhh! on July 30, 2008 9:31 AM
Heh.  *Ich* las die deutsche Sprache...

Vielen dank, alles zu besucht!
 
By John of Argghhh! on July 30, 2008 9:34 AM
Um, Frank?  Why are you finished with Senator Obama?  Just what were you *doing* with Senator Obama?  Oder waren Sie sprechend oder an Senator Obama denkend?
 
By AFSister on July 30, 2008 10:07 AM
I swear.  Spoken german sounds just like the Swedish Chef from the Muppets.

Und den u take da cheeeeken.
War de cheeeken?
HEEEERE CHEEEEEKEN CHEEEEEKEN CHEEEEEKEN.....

HB Incredible Bulk! 

From a nostalgia standpoint, I see plastic toy soldiers haven't changed in over 30 years!  I had some of those very same figures as a kid!
 
By BloodSpite on July 30, 2008 11:38 AM
Everything sounds dirty in German :D
 
By bad cat robot on July 30, 2008 11:48 AM
Warum soll Herr Senator Obama hier besuchen?  Es gibt nur böse, ungemütlich Leute, die kein Franzosisch oder Spanisch sprechen.  Wir sind auch Bitteregewehranhaftenigeren.

Macht's nicht ... Bitte, darf ich ein Stück dieses wunderbares Kampftorte nehmen?
 
By kaiserbill on July 30, 2008 12:05 PM
Tja Mensche! Thats why I stayed in Germany over 20 years!  Chicks with beer and wurst on their breath saying "Ich Liebe Dich!"
Alles Gute Zum Geburtstag!

<B>a) covers my cleavage, unless I am in Mass</b>

I heard that Bioware, for their Neverwinter Nights rpg game, has created a design for plate mail that shows a woman's cleavage ; ) Now all we need is an <B>armorer</b> that can hammer one out of steel.

<B>HEEEERE CHEEEEEKEN CHEEEEEKEN CHEEEEEKEN..... </b>

Not if you add the real German accent with the tough, bellow sounding, Prussian junker accent.

<B>Alles Gute Zum Geburtstag</b>

Those three years studying in high school was good for something.

May you never run out of ammo after you're born, John.

Happy Birthday, big guy :)
 
By fdcol63 on July 30, 2008 7:28 PM

John - well, I am finished with Obama.  LOL   But perhaps the verb bereiten  (prepare) would have been a better choice than what I tried to use, fertig (ready) . As in "I'm getting ready for President Obama."

   
By Barb on July 30, 2008 10:44 PM
Happy (belated) Birthday, John.  Hope you and SWWBO had or will have a wonderful celebration.  I'll buy you a brew in Vegas :-)

Dang, that link didn't work! Lemmee see if I can find the one about autow-frettage again; sounds dirty and has to do with artillery. Many returns of the day, you hear?
 
By Justthisguy on July 30, 2008 11:36 PM
That's "auto-frettage." Not to be confused with "auto-frottage", familiar to all single-handed Web surfers.
