Now, for those of you who just got here
*waving hiya at the weekend visitors*
and jumped to the picture without actually reading the text, expecting to see another pic of one of John's bullet launchers, and have bactracked to the header in utter confusion and bewilderment (much like an independent voter who opted for HopenChange
No hurry. I'll wait.
And for those of you who have already seen the first pic, hang on to your socks, because I already know what your reaction's gonna be --

"ZOMG! It's not really pink!"
Can I call 'em, or what?
Yes, Saker, you may now commence with panic and pandemonium.
I know, I know. I even out-squished John with this one, huh?

In the interest of being completely open and transparent and since C-SPAN wasn't around for the coverage, I hereby state that I washed my hands afterwards.



Nope.
And I'm not allowed to have anything to do with sex over here.
Except talk about it.
A lot.
But yes...my first impression was on a line with Grimmy as the thing looks like a Gumint issue from a PRO Kit. Sugarbuttons Size.
Yeah, it sure would have, wouldn't it?
it is difficult to gage what you were standing on to take the picture..
Ummmmm -- my feet?
I'm going with a sea anchor. From a life raft. Maybe.
Is this something a gay proctologist from San Fran would use?
@TheSnake, you talk about "The Clinton Condom", I need a clarification. Are you talking interior or exterior?
@Fish, it appears to be way too short for your proctologist friend.
Nuh-uh.
Naw.
Nay.
Nooooooo.
Non.
Nyet.
Neh.
*grinnnn*
It isn't what the Whatziss *is* that makes it unique -- it's what it's used as.
And since nobody other than the locals seems to know what it is -- except those of us gringos who were curious enough to find out who uses it and ask 'em *why* -- I'm gonna ease your pain and tell you what it is.
Tomorrow.
Along with what makes it a Whatziss.
Meantime...
Saker -- take a break from Panic and Pandemonium Mode. Yer makin' Fishmugger dizzy...
Is it a vag condom for male senior SNCOs of the REMF tribe? You know the type. The ones that go around giving guff to grunts that just got in off patrol outside the wire for not being properly REMF dressed?
But, you're on a zoomie base aint yeh? Do you have grunts in your local AO?
It's an Air Base within a FOB, and we've got grunts, MPs, MI, tankers, engalineers, Cav, medicos, MITTs, DoS, SF, IT, mechanics of all types, the UN, Secret Squirrels, and contractors of all types from Name Brand companies here. One third "Army" area, one third USAF, and one third Iraqi AF and Army.
And a Pizza Hut and a Green Beans coffee shack. Neither of which I've been to in about two years.
No TGI Fridays, no Starbucks, no Barnes & Noble coffeehouses, though -- gotta go to Baghdad where the im-*po*-tant folks live for that.
Either that or henna rinse.
The only rigid part is wire, not plastic, and it has four seams.
And its discoloratin is from soot.
And mud.
And getting wet -- it ain't colorfast.
Don't think *solar*, think *stellar*.
I'm *such* a squish.
